hey, everyone! i decided to just do a little, quick post on whats been going on with me and how things are changing...quickly yet excitedly :]

ive come out to a few more family members and a friend. the responses were accepting and supportive...so really amazing! just about a few more to tell and then im pretty set. i honestly feel sooo blessed and im so so soo thankful!

the last time i saw my therapist was two years ago but i had to stop because i, alone, couldnt afford to go as much as i needed to. but ive recently got in contact with her again and im seeing her this wednesday. and only for ten dollars. amazing! not only that, but i plan to do community work and look for job opportunities within the area (its the lgbt community of chicago basically)

im also getting my hair done! my sister's friend said she would do it for me so ill now have new hair. its going to be hair pieces sewn into my natural hair (it sounds painful but i know itll be worth it) and im getting this done because my hair grows all funny and weird so ill just do this for the time being. im thinking wavy and up to my chest area? but we'll seee!

im also going to do my transition in reverse - meaning live my life as a girl before getting the hormones. i think its usually done hormones and then real life but im doing the opposite. i thought about it and im good with the idea. i mean, i already pass as it is without hormones and mostly everyone i surround myself with knows and supports me in what i do. so why continue living my life as a boy and continue waiting to be me? but im still very impatient about getting hormones!

i think thats really all thats new with meee. so any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. thank youuu :]

Wow, lots of great stuff happening for you, Audrey. Congrats, girl!

You're right, its unusual to do RLE before getting hormones, but certainly not without precedent. Joanna Phipps did the same thing, although she didn't have a choice. It sounds like you have great confidence, and that counts for an awful lot.

I wish you all the best. Keep us posted, OK?

Ok....they aren't going to be sewn into your scalp, are they? OMG!

But, Audry...you have a lot going on and it's all good stuff...

So happy to hear it!

I think that's wonderful Audrey. I've gone out quite a bit as a female in RLE. You learn a lot this way. Although I can't go out full time per se, mainly because I have to present as male at work. Although in some ways I am close to full time. 95% of my clothes now are woman's clothes. I have a section for androgynous female clothes I need for work.

And congratulations on the support you find with family and friends. That means a lot. All I can say is enjoy your life sister and be yourself.

Love Jenny

Hi Audrey,

Sounds like you have a plan that should work for you.

DeeJay, maybe she means a hair weave. Extensions are sewn to hair that has been tightly braided at the scalp. I've known a number of young women that have had that done. It lasts with care for several months (possibly longer). The other choice is extensions which are glued or bonded to base of the hair.

Keep us updated with your progress!

Sweet Audrey Michelle,

What wonderful news! If you can live as the girl you truly are, why wait? You are very lucky to be able to do so.

Keep us posted on your progress. You're a ray of sunshine around here and we all need some of that.

Hugs of support,

Becky

Spill girlfriend! I've been waiting for hours. What did you think? Did you go femme? How was your session?

Kim

all was good! i presented myself as female and the only looks i got were from gay guys and then another transsexual (she eyed me up and down with such attitude, haha. she was just very rude in the building by yelling at everyone so i just rolled my eyes mentally and continued doing me, regardless of her stand offish presence) but anyways! i met with my therapist who i havent seen in like two years, caught her up, and now i have to get insurance to get my bloodwork and stuff done and then hormones!

everything went really well. i mean, i wanted to just be like "kk, give me the hormones now, please" but i guess im okay seeing as how im able to go out as female just finee

Well, that was a great report, Honey!

Now you can get your process going to get your HRT! Good on you....

And don't pay any attention to the rude ones....They come in every type, color, size and species!

HUGGS!

Was it a worker? I've always been treated nice but I could see the one woman there getting loud. Either way she was just jealous.

Kim

It was a client. She was just very defensive and outcasted herself while being rude, loud, and a diva

But I looooove the workers. The one girl with the music note tattooed on her hand is my favorite! I was considering some of those groups/meetings

Audrey, you have a wonderful attitude, and as long as you are able to go out as female that should work towards getting hormones sooner, rather than later.

Huggs,

Opal

      Hi Lydia, My paternal grandmother was very similar. I am grateful for having had a chance to know her.   Hugs! Delcina

      I was fairly surprised that the verdict came so quickly, but I guess the evidence was much more persuasive and overwhelming than we were led to believe.  What's disheartening, but not unexpected, is how fast some "leaders" have rushed to discredit the jury and everyone involved in the process.  The jurors, who spent 5 weeks of their time sitting in that courtroom, deserved better than that.  But those "leaders" I mentioned are just following the lead of their "Fearless Leader" in discrediting everything that doesn't go their way.   Carolyn Marie

      Welcome! Glad you're here! So happy for you having your wife's support as well as her family & at work! You might look for a transgender support group or PFLAG in your area. I found them very helpful, especially as I began my social transition & going out into the world.   Hugs! Delcina

      Welcome to Tran Pulse, @Mwm684.  It would be helpful, but not required, if you could give us a name of some kind that is less awkward than what we currently have.   Glad to hear that things at home and at work are going well for you.  I hope that continues.  Please let us know how we may be of service.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Happy Birthday Charlize! You know having met in person I think you may be stretching the truth a bit just to get senior discounts. I would have to say not more than a day over 29. Thank you for sharing this, our journeys intertwine in such a wonderfully delightful way.   Hugs! Delcina

      Hello, I was born male but always wished to be female every day of my life. I am currently 48 years old and have an appointment with my GP to start HRT. I came out to my wife about 3 months ago and she has taken the news rather well. I have told my wife’s sister and her family, I have told my immediate supervisor and our facility operations manager at my work. So far all is well. I wish I had the courage to come out sooner but the fear and shame was just too much. I live in southwest Michigan and would really like to make some friends for support eventually. My wife and I are doing great and have no danger in splitting up over my situation. I have been dressing at home with my wife’s help for now. This really helps but I’m looking forward to HRT for the mental benefits as well as the physical benefits down the road.

      This hand written stuff is just a few years old, but those math animation graphics are decades old.  Those Flash Math Creativity days.  Lots of good memories from that.  I never read that book, but you know, I was fully in that thing.   I called the collision detection I was coding 4 dimensional math.  My roommate a few weeks ago was describing the fourth dimension as a cube within a cube, connected at the corners and folding in on itself.  I always considered the fourth dimension to be time.  I'm not sure I ever coded a 3 dimensional collision detection, but I realized that you would just do it with the perpendicular plane and then take the closest hit.  My mind certainly isn't in all the details of it right now.  I'm simply enjoying showing some of my work and perhaps it will spark someone else's interest.  I guess my art work doesn't fall into a clean boundary of illustration.  There is a thing about adopting a theme though.  You've got to work with something in an OOP world.

      That’s so wonderful! I’m glad to hear that mono-therapy worked for you! But Thank you, I’m def trusting the process and seeing where it leads. 😊     That’s really kind of you to say all of that. It makes me feel better that the plan I’m sticking with is unique to me as every plan each and every one of us is on is unique. And yes, I absolutely echo your sentiments about communicating clearly and openly with my provider if something doesn’t feel right or not working. Very good advice! 😊   I told my provider at the appointment that my plan was to do mono-therapy once my levels were good. She said when that time comes it will definitely be considered, but for now it’s getting my levels where they need to be is her main concern.
