Small Victories

Well i came out on facebook today so now my whole family and friends group know.. now waiting how they will react...
But the good thing is that have no closet to get out of no more... away with that crampy closet

 

Congratulations! That's a huge step! I hope everyone reacts positively. (*hug*)

 

Congrats, penta!! ride: (*hug*)

About a week ago I was legit asked by a girl if I was a girl or a boy (thus passing well as in-between). That felt like a Small Victory to me

 

Getting to see my friends face to face after coming out to them online, and knowing that we're still best of friends, they're supportive of me and who I am isn't going to change that, we can still make the same dumb jokes together ... it's put me in a good mood.

 

must have felt so good...

I can imagine that felt good, going to face my family next week after coming out online to them

 

Woman, all the way. I WAS mistakened for a boy or told that I looked like a boy a few times, but these comments were either from (i) young children or (ii) my idiot neighbor

 

I'm working on finding a new name for myself. I'm keeping AJ as my initials, but I'm going to start trying out the name Andros for a while to see how I feel about it.

Horray to the name exploration journey!

 

i started with a new counselor, my old one retired, and we are exploring my gender questions. (!)

 

I bought a new pair of shorts. Also go some axe shower gel, 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner , and deodorant . also finally got around to asking my mom if I can use her card to get a binder.

 

Looks like you had a great day, congrats

 

I did, thx ^___^ I had to go into the boy's section to buy the shorts alone though, was kind of terrifying for me. Was waiting for someone to walk up and say I don't belong

 

Even though it's a common occurrence now, I it always makes me feel a little happier whenever someone refers to me as "miss/ma'am/lady/etc." I just really enjoy how nobody reads me as male anymore.

 

Came out to a co-worker, though I was relatively certain it was safe since he had just told me his second child is a transgendered young man. Seems each coming out is getting easier and easier. Still got the parents to go before I come out to the world, though.

 

I just started HRT today. ^-^

Though the new endocrinologist was... odd. I mean she was nice, just... too nice.

Like annoyingly nice. And she was always like, "Wow, that's great."

And her eyes were huge.

But overall she was nice.

Just glad I started the stuff. ^-^

 

Congratulations, and good luck with coming out to your parents!

Wow, that's great! Sorry, I couldn't resist. :lol: Seriously though, congratulations! That's huge!!

 

I should be expecting a bit over $103 soon, assuming all the money clears before the summer. I might put it towards a 3-in-1, but I don't know which one just yet. Let's hope this puts my dysphoria down more.

 

I tried to lift myself up the whole day. Not letting myself down.
Worked pretty well. I'm kind of proud of myself.

 

The last weeks i have been shopping in real stores instead of online and i have the feeling too, i just think i'm going to say i buy the stuff for my girlfriend when someone asks, but until now i had no problems at all, but i recognize the feeling very well

 

I was able to have a short conversation with my mom today about toxic standards of femininity, being a masculine female, trying out waxing ... normally she's so adamant about not talking anything related to my being transgender, but for all we talked about today it almost seems like she's coming around. Well whatever, regardless of what the future holds I was really happy that she didn't jump away from the issue today. Thanks mom.

 

Congratulations!
