Gender Euphoria

Today I feel 100% female. I feel pretty. I feel alive.

I went shopping today and I went out dressed and hardly anyone seemed to notice. I went to an outlet mall and it was hot outside and I was sweating, so the first thing I bought were some super cute sunglasses. Then I went into a bunch of shops and wound up buying the best clothes I've bought so far... it is so much easier to shop and buy things you actually like when you're comfortable in your own skin. I even talked about my baby boy with the girls at this one shop. We gabbed for a bit and if they noticed a thing about my transness, they hid it really well (which is TOTALLY possible). In fact, the only weird looks I got were from children and not even most of them I came home and put on my new clothes (and jewelry) and I put on makeup.

Wow.

I looked in the mirror and I saw myself. If I were to look in the mirror right now, I would see myself. I am so happy. For so many years of my life, I have been experiencing severe Gender Dysphoria, but today I'm experiencing serious Gender Euphoria.

And just a few minutes ago, I took a risk--a FUN risk. I went to the gas station right by my house where everyone knows me. I got me a drink and some chips and when I got to the counter, the clerks were smiling. The first one said, "What's up, man?" and the second one giggled while saying, "What's up, cutie?" What's so cool about all that is that it didn't even bother me. In fact, it was kind of funny. I just told them I didn't think they would recognize me and wished them a wonderful night. Somehow, it was a great experience.

I am so happy today. What a wonderful life it is in this moment.

What a wonderful life.

HUGGS AND KISSES

Oh Belle, I really enjoyed reading how your day went and am so happy for you. :) You finally get to go out as your true self. And looking at your avatar, I think you already look great as a woman now and I can see why you pass. Cherish the excitement, with this RLE you are probably ready for the next step and that is HRT.

I can't wait for the day to go out dressed as a female. I can't wait to hear your next adventure.

Love Jenny

I love your post :) I know exactly what you mean because I made a very similar shopping trip about a month ago and did the same thing. (The resulting pics are what is in my gallery) Here's to much more of the same!

Cheers,

Amy

What a wonderful day that was for you. You even went somewhere where they knew you and didn't care what they thought. That in its self is so refreshing to read about. You are doing great girl.

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).
