It was in every way the best night I have had in a long time. Rewind for a sec...... Morning time. My usual wake up frantic start to a day. Involving a tornado of clothing, an eagles eye scan and clean up of the face. Hair in a messy bun and do my eyes. Then maybe a mini clothing tornado and finally I emerge in my brown 2" heeled knee highs, dark wash skinny jeans. A cute hat, hip length fall coat ( makes my hips look fuller) and my pretty earth tone scarf.

The work day was long and drawn out. We had a 200 person buy out at the restaurant and I was in lead of pastries. We were prepped well ahead so most of the night was spent in waiting for our turn to plate desserts. Seemingly just another ordinary day.

I got changed to go home and one of our servers stopped me. She is a beautiful woman with a huge smile and fun personality and she had to let me know how amazing I looked. I felt great and we passed around some jean talk as I left. I went around to the restaurant doors and there was about 20 or more men milling about, looking satisfied after we had worked all day to feed them. Eyes locked on to me as I went inside to talk to my roomy working as hostess. We laughed and communicated with those subtle girly sounds and gestures as we both acknowledged the attention that I, me, THIS! hot cougar was getting. I felt flush and energized and loving how my day is ending. It did not stop there.

I had to get some money out from the ATM for a store run as I needed a bit of something before going home to wash up and sleep. Both machines were in use and there was a girl in front of me. As one guy got his cash, he stepped back to wait on the other guy when he looks at me. He comes over and asks me if I have a brother in town. I said no, but I do have brothers. So he checks again, asking if I am sure as he could swear I have a brother working at Araxi ( the restaurant I work in lol ). I made it to being the sister to my past male self haha... Kind of weird but I like it none the less.

So I have my money. The work night ended an hour earlier than a normal service would so there were some smaller eateries open that are normally closed when I am done. I walked past one of them and my friend saw me through the window. I have not seen her since the first week I started HRT and she had to do a double take as she realized who was really walking past. She ran out to see me and was excited for how much I had changed. It was a super special ending to an average day and was a really good boost to me as a person as a woman.

That is a fantastic story. Really made my Friday morning start off good!

I hope that one day people think I am my brother's sister. I'm sure you must be on cloud 9 right now :).

What an amazing story -thanks for sharing it. I can see how you are on cloud nine, I might be on 10 or 11 if that had been me. I never tire of hearing success stories like this, it motivates me even more.

      I live in a rural area, and we actually do have Democrats here. I also see the division being pushed by the "right' as well as the "left."  It seems so stupid. I'm going to shut up now.  Have a great pride month, Y'all.
    • Ivy
      I do think trans women have more visibility, and perhaps more resistance due to the ingrained misogyny in our culture - as Carolyn Marie has said.  Having said that, I have gotten to know a trans man in the past year, and his struggles have been real as well - including feeling threatened in situations. As for passing, testosterone is pretty effective.  The voice changes and facial hair do make it easier to pass for many.  Not many people will question a man with a beard's gender*.  Once you are able to get the HRT I think you will be pleased with the results.  Hang in there.   *I let my beard grow out for years to "prove" to myself and others that I was a "man" but it didn't really work very well, did it.

      Well…  I hope everything goes well.  I guess she's familiar with the process by now.

      Being a drag performer is THAT lucrative a job opportunity? In Idaho?  $926k is equivalent to 18 years' pay for an average worker in that state.   I understand that attorney fees can run pretty high, though.  
    • Carolyn Marie
      @NoEli6, I completely understand where you're coming from, and I sympathize with you.  Yes, I believe it is true that trans men get shortchanged when it comes to recognition of your numbers in the world, the attention paid by the MSM, as well as the trans community and academia.  I also think that is changing, based on the number of articles I see in my news feed.  There are also many more articles on research papers concerning HRT and other issues facing trans men.   So it is understandable that many in our community downplay the struggles trans men go through.  I do think that trans women face a more dangerous world than trans men, and for the same reasons that cis women face more dangers than cis men.  All one needs to do is look at the statistics on the murder and assaults of trans women.  That said, trans men do also face dangers out there in the world, and I don't discount that at all.  There was a much loved trans man on this site years ago whose own father shot him when he was about your age.  So yeah, I do understand your fears.  They are real and justified.   As @Charlizesaid, your time will come and things will get better for you.  We see you, we cherish you, and we respect your feelings.  You are welcome here.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      I asked myself this very thing many times through the years.  Ultimately, I realized these feelings were being heavily influenced by the concept of gender needing to be singular.  I guess the strong influence makes sense, since it has been so ingrained into our society.  I found the will to reject the concept, though, because it wasn't right for me.  Doing so, allowed me to be at peace with my bi-gender nature.

      @KathyLauren This is how the jurors broke down the award:     Being labeled as a molester and sexual pervert can and has done that much actual damage in terms of repair of the damage through a wide variety of means including legal fees and loss of livelihood in any job or profession.  As this said the idea of "reckless disregard for the truth" means that the performer was able to show a level of damage that will affect him now and in the future.  The $900K+ figure was a matter of real evidence of the damage.

      Well, it has been an interesting morning.  I stayed home from service to take care of a partner.  She's the youngest of us, and I'm usually not her first choice for affection.  But this morning she curled up in my lap right before breakfast, and told me she was feeling ill.  And then threw up on me about 30 seconds later....   I guess the smell of the food is what did it, poor thing.  On a hunch, she took a pregnancy test and.... yep.    She's been married to our husband for 10 years, and this will be her 6th, so I'm happy for her.  We took a shower and she got back in our nest to sleep some more, which is probably the best medicine of all.  Maybe she'll feel better this afternoon.

      Article said $250,000 of it was "punitive."  To me, seems like the whole thing was punitive...which I don't think is appropriate at all. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Biden himself is driving that "divisive wedge."  Could have done without the anti-gun garbage in his statement....it makes it seem like all LGBTQ+ folks agree with their agenda.  Which simply isn't true, and makes life difficult (and unsafe) for those of us who prefer to live in rural (and non-Democrat) areas.  Pride month would be happier for many (and more socially accepted) if it could somehow be separated from ancillary political issues. 
    • KathyLauren
      I haven't seen the ruling, but it is unlikely that the entire amount was for actual damages.  The majority was likely punitive, as it should be.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Unless somehow this caused a million dollars worth of damage to somebody's livelihood or life, the amount of this judgement seems excessive.  Not something I would call "uplifting" or anything to be pleased about.
