Small Victories

so i've been thinking about this for a couple of days and weither i should post this here, but here i go. My Divorce was granted on Tuesday. while not totally gender related, it takes me one step closer to freedom, the freedom to be me; who ever that turns out to be.

 

thanks Hun.(*hug*)

 

All of my internet ads are about fashion and makeup, when they used to be about games and technology. It's sort of creepy actually... but also a victory? Maybe :s

 

Facebook keeps trying to encourage me to buy male underwear marketed towards gay men. *first world problems*

 

This is actually a great game, mine is an ad that links to a site that teaches me "Why worrying promotes more worrying". I'm trying to decide if its a victory that even my facebook account ads are about helping others. :lol:

 

And I'm just sitting here with adblock.

 

This. So much this. I hate ads.

My small victory is civil conversation with Shovel (T) last night at my son's induction into National Junior Honor Society. Looking forward to seeing Capt America: Civil War tonight with him as a birthday present/celebration for NJHS.

 

Is that a thing you can get on phones too? Mandatory on PC but I never even thought to look for a phone version!

 

I used the mens toilet in a restaurant I went to today. Admittedly it was only one stall and there was no one else in the whole upstairs of the restaurant and the women's toilet had no light, but still.

 

For iPhones, I doubt it; for Android, almost guaranteed to exist in some shape or form.

 

I had a good conversation with my mom about sexuality and gender and it went very well. She's really accepting and wants me to be happy.

 

It's not AdBlock specifically, but there's a great content blocker app called 1Blocker that is on the App Store and works pretty well in Safari.

 

Wore shorts in public for the first time with my legs not shaved, nerve wrecking but no one said anything. Got a few weird looks but I passed pretty well today so I'm happy.

 

My state passed a thing that basically prohibited insurance providers to deny trans people their specific needs---though someone said it only applies to providers that are federally funded. So, I'm not sure if I'm set or not.

 

Two victories:

1. Went dancing en femme last night until 3am and was hit on by a guy (very bad dancer, so just no), cruised by a butch lesbian, and propositioned by a straight(-ish) woman. I felt very sexy and feminine all night!

2. Went to group tonight and had a great time talking with other transwomen then went out to get a bite to eat after with several of them.

Fun times!
