    Out of school. Came out with total success while I was in school. Now I don't have that shit hanging over my head when I come back.

    Uh, this thread is abou small victories so here goes.

    despite the favt i started having some anxiety from researching it in depth,i worked through my anxoety and was able to ask my mother if she was okay with me taking hormones. I feel really proud of myself for being able to ask... even if i may not be able to follow through with it.

    I may still have some doubts but i'm... starting to get rid of some of them, and this was a small, yet at the same tike big victory for me.

    sounds like a rather large victory to me, the decision to move forward is always a big deal.

    small victory for me, my therapist asking which pronouns to use during our session, more therapy to go more soul searching but more people understanding and accepting. Day by day getting closer to my trueself

    ok victory time for me, i went to a wig shop today, and got a beautiful wig, long brown hair fits perfectly, and it looks, like O.M.G when i put it on, it was so fantastic looking, it was....me. the service was so friendly after i told the lady it was for me, she helped me find the perfect style, it was fun trying on the different styles, she didnt try to sell me stuff i didnt need and even showed me a hack to save a couple dollars on a drying rack. the kicker was that it was 20% off and she knocked 10 bucks off that.

    Ok, I officially don't fit into my own old t-shirts, because I'm so muscular <3
     
  10. The guy pumping my gas at the station yesterday called me "dude"! Made me pretty happy! I could have just been overreacting, because people call eachother dude quite a lot casually, but I was gettting into my car and thanking him for doing my windshield and he said: "No problem, dude!" Whoooo! Either way if he meant it or not, it felt amazing.

    I've been working on my upper body strength and I noticed that it's getting harder to see my ribs through my pecs and I feel like this is such a good sign that I can recover my body!

    I bought new t-shirts for the first time in four years :grin: They are men's shirts and I just tried them on with my binder on. I feel so comfortable with the way that makes me look. Now I just need to work up the courage to wear my binder in public and deal with the possible questions and weird looks from everybody I know because my breast is suddenly gone :/

    This one BIG victory! I told my psychiatrist about being transgender, kinda rough start on the first session tho xD He was supportive and even helped my mother to undestand me better. So my relationship with her is getting better. Hell yes!

    My therapist tells me my voice is androgynous enough that it wouldn't be a shock coming out of either gender. Yay!

    i found a place down the street from my work where i can get my laser done. it's cheaper than in the city and i dont have to drive for an hour each time and take time from work as they said they can fit me in after work. and the kicker is they had a 2 for 1 special, so im getting 4 sessions for the price of 2.

    This is a bit lazy, but I'm actually ok today. I managed to just escape my problems for a while, and I feel a lot better about myself even though literally nothing else has changed.
