    Today I unexpectedly had someone call me by my preferred name, without having to ask, thanks to my best friend. :thumbsup:
    I'm not officially going by it yet, but having this happen helped me gain a bit more insight to how I feel about the name, and now I think it might the right name for me!

    In short, it was pretty awesome!
    Progress, yay! :eusa_danc

    So today I talked to a friend who's a transwoman, someone who's taken hormonal replacement for quite some time. There were some things she told me about HRT that really, REALLY made me start to want to pick my phone up and call my doctor immediately. From the sounds of it, just regular hormonal replacement for me would be heaven. It's really only getting down to it.

    The only con to this is that it doesn't do anything to voice, so I'll have to somehow retrain mine a bit.

    I just sent a 'coming out email' to my mum, and I feel like I'm going to die. She's in Iran though, and first home on Thursday, so she'll get a couple days to think about it.

    Changed my mind on coming out to my parents via letter. Planning on telling dad after band practice tomorrow. Dad's not going to be home for dinner tonight before the new band's practice, so I'm going to have pizza witm mom. Seriously debating in my head about coming out to her tonight.....
