A very happy day to share with everyone.

I went shopping for some winter boots yesterday since the long winter is nearly around the corner, also an excuse as I love shopping so much ;). There is a discount shop in a mall near my home with lots of choices. I had my skinny jeans, sneakers, turtle neck, knitted hat, scarf... I was having so much fun in the seas of shoes and picked up a couple pairs of boots. Out of no where, a women walked towards me, I was quite sure she's heading to me cause there is no one around the aisle...I thought "Omg! Is she going to ask me some wierd questions like why I trying all these women shoes....". She came closer in a non-confronting manner which eased me and asked: "How's your boots feel? Does it feel warmth?" That's sounds like a question I always want to hear, we then talked a bit about the boots and things went well. I am so happy now since I am getting there bit by bit as a girl :) It happens more and more people think I am or at least look like a girl when I go out, but this is really the first time someone see me as a girl and ask me questions.

On the other side, I am kind of worry what will people react if they know who am I.....I think this maybe something always in our mind or just me worrying too much.

Hi Erikka,

You know hun, I just love to read these stories , they give the rest of us so much hope and of

course, allow your sisters to share in your joy , thank you so much for that. I hope these days become

the norm for you . If you mean strangers who find out your a special woman, well , 99 per cent will

be too busy to react negatively -the other 1 per cent ?????? Turn around and walk away hun, you owe

those folk nothing. If you mean people who know you prior/ during/ and after transitioning, well , you

got to become tough in a womanly sorta way - that means if someone you know gives you a hard time

re being trans then you gotta be cutting in your response , HARD/CUTTING/ TO THE POINT.The other

way -curl up in to a ball and hope they go away.....they wont , so , hit back, stand up for yourself girl.

Oh, all my energy is gone after that last bit :D :D :D luv, viv :)

Erikka,

You had a wonderful day, don't over think it.

Just enjoy the good and savor the memories then it will be easier to get through the bad and just forget about it.

Don't worry, Be Happy - an old song by Bobby McFerrin.

Enjoy and take note.

Love ya,

Sally

Thanks for sharing your happy news, Erikka. You've made a bunch of people smile tonight.

You've experienced what so many here have talked about - confidence. When you feel like a girl, and act like a girl, and know in

your heart that is who you are, you let the world see it. All they will see is a happy girl, out for some boots and clothes. By

doing that, you pass!

Good on your sweetheart. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for everyone kind comments. That's very true Carolyn, I think bit by bit I forget trying so hard to pass, but instead replacing this thought with more confidence. Then things become more fun and easier by accepting myself as a girl and do things just like normal girls do.

Luv

Erikka :)

      The age thing applies to both of them, and I say this as someone in my own mid 70's. As for being "businessmen," I don't consider the government to be a business.  That might be part of our problem now.  But this might not be the place to open that can of worms. I would like to be able to keep my personal freedom to live as myself, and the social security that I worked most of my life for.

      Although the right to care has been affirmed, I still find it disheartening that so many of the treatments that are available and beneficial to someone who is trans, is consequently barred by insurance companies who claim that anything beyond HRT and vaginoplasty, are cosmetic. I believe that any procedure that can help to make one passable as their desired gender, has the potential to be lifesaving. Is being able to just blend in as our desired gender so abhorrent to the insurance companies?    I also believe that the transgender communities are taken advantage of in many ways. Look at the number of healthcare providers who will provide care, but want up front payment, which in many cases, is way above what an insurance company will pay. It is very expensive paying out of pocket, yet many of us become so desperate to transition that we just pony up the money.

      The only thing good about Trump, he's a businessman, but as for leadership to be the president of the entire   United States.. ahh nope lol, there's no telling how many secrets he blabbed to foreign countries when he was in office, anyway he's too old to be in office.

      I hope to be able to drop in on tonight's Zoom. If I can, you'll see me wearing this band-collar floral popover with jeans and these slip-on sneakers.

      Oh, my! It seems as if I have been gone for so long. And, interacting with you all has been such an important part of gaining an understanding of who I am this past year.    My wife’s mother passed away this week. She was in her late 90s but has been in relative good health. Until the past month. We brought in hospice last week when she began to sleep most of the day and began to become restless and uncomfortable. She passed in her sleep on Monday.   As you might imagine, it’s been a whirlwind of coordinating burial arrangements with family, the unreal home, the church and the venue for a lunch after mass.   We have a place here on our property where we place the ashes of family members so we will place her alongside her husband next Saturday.   Of course, our new puppy adds to the strain of time. She is a joy but also a typical Lab with lots of energy. She’s 11 weeks old and already 21 pounds.    I will I’ll find my way back here more as things settle down.   I miss you all!

      Good morning everyone,    The coffee is brewing, after Parker has been walked and taken care of his business. Changing my morning routine, because he’s a puppy and as soon as he’s out of the crate there’s no stopping before he needs to be outside for a few minutes. Once coffee is poured we sit on the porch swing and enjoy the morning song birds.    Happy Pride Month     Mindy🌈🏳️‍⚧️🐛🦋
