Thread For Happy Things

Because sometimes things DO go well and we should have somewhere to post random happy occurrences that don't warrant a thread of their own. :)

Today I got Sir'd on the phone for the first time, and changed my name on my bank accounts. :D

This thread is an awesome idea.

I went clothes shopping with my Mum, and she went through the womens section looking for stuff, then went completely unprompted to the mens to help me find some jeans, and ended up buying me two distinctly male shirts. I love my mum sometimes :)

'grats on the phone pass and document changing :D

Sweet topic.

Umm... Found out today - I have PCOS which I think is pretty cool cuz it means I'm already makin too much T and I'm pre-T. So I'm actually happy about that lol.

Also - recently my mom addressed a package from me and she put "RJ" in the return address... my family has been using my birth name so that was a (big?) step for her. Also, she likes my endo. Which is cool because I think then she'll be more on board with what I'm doing if I'm doing it under the care of a doc she likes.

This weekend changed my contact address at Catherines (womens clothing store) and Sephoras - to my new address so I can get the special offers!

Biggest thing, though?

Used the women's room at the big mall. It has a reputation for calling security guards in on people that apparently are CDers or androgynous stage T-Girls. But the attendant looked right at me and didn't notice anything. MY LAST HURDLE in New Orleans for passing full time in public. WHEW

I kissed my girlfriend in front of a huge mob of people at the fireworks show on the fourth. Not one person gave me any wierd look or acted like it was wrong. =D

I got bro's at the gym today and the guy gave me some advice to help bulk up my arms. ^.^ Felt sooo good.

Also, I got some weird looks when I moved into the women's only section (to get to the change room). XD Sooo awkward.

Awesome topic!!

On Thursday I was on a road trip for the long weekend and my family stopped at this little park washroom. I was the only one in the girls', and this woman came in while I was fixing my hair, gave me this *look*, backed up to check the sign on the door, and kept walking with a confused expression on her face. :lol: made me pretty happy.

Well, I'm done all my paperwork for my top surgery. Now I'm just waiting to see my endo and book the appointment with my surgeon. It's all paid for so I guess I only have to worry about the traveling bit.

Only a little trans related and not too specific-I did a small good deed today-with the help of an awesome friend-some people can do anything

And my friends laughed me out of my headache and "poor pitiful me" mood

I Truly Love You all

Wrote an e-mail to my mother telling her that I am male.

Always have been, always will.

Still awaiting a response, but it is nice to finally stand up for myself.

Amazing thread idea. Hurray for everyone! \o/

This isn't nearly as monumental as any of yours, but it still made my day.

My adorable boyfriend identifies as straight, except that he's gay for me. We've been together for seven months, so I'm still meeting all his friends. Last night, he called to invite some of those as-yet-unmet friends to join us at a restaurant. He said, "[My name] and I are going out to dinner, and--wait, you haven't met him yet, have you? He's my boyfriend." And then continued with the invite.

Even though it's not a big deal to him--and I should really be used to it by now--it's still a big deal to me. Makes me want to attack him, in a good way.

Yay! Happy things!

I'm super happy right now cause I just made my appointment to get T. Assuming all my blood work comes back fine, I finally have a date! I was so excited on the way home that I didn't realize I'd forgotten to turn until the road I was on hit a dead end :P

and @MemoryAlpha, way to go! That's an awesome step. I hope it goes well for you.

That's awesome, congrats! I would've hit the dead end too, lol.

I have been approved for SSI for my autism, have been on T for about five months, have my own vehicle now, and even a cell phone. Currently, I'm at the coast staying with my grandma to evade the Northwest heatwave that's passing through. All-in-all, I'm doing rather well. :)

:lol: I find that other people's happiness is infectious! It's great. :D

Being trans can be so serious and grinding but we all end up with happy moments and breakthroughs when things go our way (and the occasional funny stories) that we should give an airing once in a while.

And now and then I tweak Evan!

      Manufacturing jobs have increased by nearly 800k since Biden’s inauguration. Deficits and debt are up as well, which water down some of the positive metrics.  Given the fact we were coming out of a pandemic and then into a global economy affected by a Russian aggression and then a war in the Middle East, things wouldn’t be ideal. But we’re not on a gold standard anymore. Government budgets aren’t household budgets. Inflation was up but is coming down, which means that government spending isn’t uncontrolled.  Honest news media? Which news are we referring to? I recommend looking into Ground.news and their blind spot feature. It will show you, regardless of your leanings, what you’re not seeing in your typically consumed news.    MAGA is not about making America great again or otherwise. It’s a marketing cult for populist conservatism, aka the cult of Trump. America being great is not bad or a bad idea, but its choice as the moniker of the campaign is not-so-subtle political marketing. By default, no one wants to argue against the idea, however it creates a dichotomy where “the other side must not want (or is actively trying to destroy) it”. It’s an empty slogan because America was no greater during the Trump years and you can logically argue our global cache was diminished during his term, which was marked by sentiment of the US being a unilateral agitator.

      smiles I think I need to help him find a way to simply love others, regardless of identifying with them or understanding their journey..but I thought I recall stories of Jesus being asked which of 10 laws were greatest..n the answer being 1. God us God n have no other gods you worship..asking forgiveness to friends who practice religions with polydieties..but I think catholic say 1 god..n the 2nd rule is almost as important..love each other as I have loved you   maybe if I can focus him on we all believe God wants us to love n help each..maybe he'll forget the footnote he seems to be inserting, unless they are lgbt..then they go to hell...nerd   sorry probably too politically charged..delete if so with my apologies  hugs to all who want them

      So, I don't know what this is called, but it's kind of like when you see the boob bridging to the collarbone. I hate it. You can totally see I have a chest. How do I fix it and what is it called?   (I'm wearing an old gc2b binder I got from someone at school that is not my specific sizing, but it's all I can work with)

      https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/04/29/1247896150/transgender-health-insurance-west-virginia-north-carolina-appeals-court     Good news, y'all.  Better get those procedures and meds down before SCOTUS takes it away again, or the R's regain power in D.C.   Carolyn Marie

      Of course, we all wish you the best of luck.  But please don't assume that a negative first reaction will be the one that sticks.  It takes time, communication and lots of love.   Carolyn Marie

      Nationally, sure.  But where I live, there aren't two large segments.  There's a majority, and a few who just don't fit and probably ought to move out.  I was in a nearby city a few days back, and I saw a billboard for the "Freedom From Religion" foundation.  That's acceptable there.  Here... folks would be making a bonfire.    I don't really see how the different sides CAN get along.  I see what goes on in California, and its like watching news from some alien planet.  It has very little to do with LGBTQ+ issues, really.  I can't live their way, I won't live their way, and I have no desire to compromise at all in that direction.  I'd prefer to be neighbors in separate nations, and I think folks would get along better that way.  I firmly believe the anti-trans stuff wouldn't exist here if we had a new republic of the Center-South area.  Even a micro-state of just my county and a couple others would be fine.    I get the giggles when folks think that Trump is somehow "far right."  Around here, he's a barely-acceptable centrist.  And by the standards of 100 years ago, its true.

      I don't think the Dems have a corner on division.  I do try to kinda keep up with the antics on Fox for 5h1+s and giggles. We have two large segments of the population, living in their own bubbles, with completely opposite views of our society, who never talk to each other, only at each other. People don't even want to get along with each other. We're tearing ourselves apart from the inside, while the rest of the world just sits back and watches.

      Back again now it’s inevitable I must tell my wife for me to be happy and authentic wish me luck
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Trying to decide if I am one.  Hmmm.  It depends on the definition.  The Democrats' definition dehumanizes them, whatever they are.   I would like to see a restoration of respect for America around the world, one Obama threw away.  I would like to see factories reopen whose jobs went overseas because people like BIden wrote legislation to create a tax structure than encouraged that.  I would like to see an end to the division that Biden and Obama cause and exploit for cynical political purposes.  I would like people to be able to express themselves without fear.  I would like honest news media.  I would llike to see the federal government not push us recklessly into debt.   If that makes me MAGA, I guess I am.

      You've never encountered the Oklahoma State Troopers, then.... it isn't far from reality.  I swear they've got half an army of cops just sitting around.  On I-40, they've got big concrete pads where they sit in the middle of the highway, sometimes a row of 8 cars in one spot.  I guess they've got money to burn....

      Good to hear about that case, but I believe Oklahoma is in the 11th Circuit COA region along with Texas which is going to find some way to nullify this decision as far as the Oklahoma law goes, just because - - - -
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      That's a Circuit (Circus) court ruling.  Which is essentially temporary.  Most everything right now is temporary, as the Supreme Court hasn't gotten around to dealing with all the various trans-related issues from the last few years.  I really, really wish they would just bite the bullet and do their thing.  It would save us from the constant tug-of-war. "The sky is falling!".... "No it isn't.".... "But there's crap coming down."....."It landed east of here"  Whether it ends up being good or bad, I wish they'd just lance the boil and let us either have a tyranny we can fight against or a republic we don't mind living in.  Mediocrity is irritating.
