Small Victories

Heretic.

 

went shopping today like this. felt so happy to do so

 

good going hun. love the top as well.

 

got called mam today to felt so amazing

 

I bought KT tape at the store last night. I was so excited to try it out. But go figure first try it didn't work. Gonna try another way i saw to put it on tonight after work but it looks like i'm gonna actually have to buy a binder. Which is difficult cause idk if dad will ask questions or not if i send it to his work. But if i send it to the house mom will be nosy as fuck. And i have no friends. Shit. Ordering clothes would be so much easier.

 

can you get a box at the UPS store? they can sign for it I think.

 

I was helping the girl's in my home try on dresses, and some lady asked why I was in there, i replied that i'm helping my foster sisters out, and she told me guy's arn't aloud in the dressing room

and my bus driver was trying to talk to dispatch about me, and the driver kept refering to me as a he

 

What do you mean? When you said that i remembered we have a Fed Ex in the local Walmart but idk what all of its services are. I see that they receive stacks of what appear to be packages on pull carts but idk what their services are. Idk if they're receiving product (packaging material, boxes, etc) or actual customers' orders. I see that they have packaging supplies in the store and that's the only service i know for a fact they have.

 

ups rents mail boxes at their Brown stores. fedex may do the same? never hurts to ask.

 

So, my crush is normally quite emotionally reserved, but today she just gave me an outpouring of affection that completely blindsided me. She set my heart completely aflutter and I don't know if it will ever calm down.

 

Finally spoke with a city employee on the phone who didn't once refer to me as ma'am or Ms. Last name for no reason despite my clearly male voice. Thanks! Now to get my name changed with city records so this continues not happening in the future lol.

 

This thread is very uplifting

 

Yes. I love reading this thread and seeing other people's victories even if I don't have anything to post

So just.. yay for everyone :icon_bigg

 

Came out to my parents 1.5 weeks ago and if felt relieving. They are supportive and are taking steps to help. I went to a social group on Monday night for trans people and it felt nice talking to other trans people in person, even though it bothered me that I have not transitioned yet. Most of them had transitioned and I felt out of place for being one of the only ones who had not yet. However, everyone was super nice and supportive.

My parents are going to a support group for family and friends of trans people. I feel like these are small but meaningful steps toward becoming who I am on the outside

 

Congrats! Don't feel out of place.. I was in the same situation, being in a support group where all of them were already on hrt and most post-op.. Don't think of it as being out of place, but as what you can see in your future. They were all once in the beginning too!
And yes, it is all steps. I am happy your family is super supportive about this

 

Thanks. I hope I will be where they are someday. I am confident I will be, just will take awhile.
