    I used the men's restroom yesterday and today. I finally pass well enough to be the cute boy girls giggle about in public. Also I finally broke up with my boyfriend. I'm still a bit torn up about that, but it really needed to happen

    i spent 6 days in hospital last month, even though i looked like a train wreck i was referred to as Sarah, and she/her pronouns. it was awesome, even though it was a very scary and rough surgery and recovery. so i kinda know what you mean hun.

    First makeup attempt down!

    And no, there aren't any pictures, it wasn't pretty, but I DID enjoy the heck out of it.

    Honestly, it's more my technique than overall amount.

    So... today.

    Was crowned fairest maidens of the Faire.

    Had many pictures taken.

    Complimented on my beauty and style and grace.

    I won knighthood for my prowess with an axe.

    And I got them digits...

    A small victory today -

    This might sound kinda dumb but after I cut my hair short a few years back I stopped wearing hairbands on my wrist or any sort of masculine "wrist wear". lol

    SO my hairs a little longish now I can do a man bun type thing today but OMG I love how masculine my hands and wrists look with this brown hair tie on them. Makes my arms and hands look... bigger?

    First time I put anything on my wrist like this in years and I love it, alleviating body dysphoria and everything.

    Its the little things haha. Time to get a watch or something I think :wink:

    i had a support group meeting last night at the university, had dinner with my son just before, it was great, new people, old friends, lots of laughs. several of my friends, that I haven't seen since Pride, complemented me on how pretty I looked at the parade. I came out from the meeting feeling really great.

    I can do a pull up now. Like, with knuckles facing to me. They gave me a hard time before. So I guess I'm not gaining much but the muscle improve their work. I feel like a child now, I wish I could just run and climb and pick up a fun fight to see what else my body can offer me now :grin:

    HUGE! The only time I could ever do a pull up was AFTER I started hormones....I guess cause I was lighter or something? All those years on testosterone and nothing, a month after I start estrogen BAM. lol

    Congrats!

    A substitute teacher today called me by female pronouns. (I'm genderqueer, but I prefer female pronouns over male pronouns when I'm forced to use one of the two.)
