Hi all, its been a while since i posted an update but here it is. A lot has happened since i last posted, i have told all my friends and my two sisters that im a girl and they are all very accepting. My friends now call me Lucy and i visit them dressed as a female now. I only have my parents and grandmother to come out to and then the extended family. Im scared but going by my friends and two sisters reaction i think i will be ok. My sisters both agree my mum will be ok and already suspects something and my dad will be shocked at first but ultimately ok with it.

Im also working towards a career change, im undecided what to do yet but whatever it is itll be the bottom rung of the ladder. Im a welder atm and i dont feel comfortable transitioning there. Im aiming for Christmas time to get everything in order and once i leave there i will have my name legally changed and start my real life experience thing ahead of my first session with the gender identity clinic in April. I also live on my own now which is great as i can live as a girl all the time while im not at work. I no longer have to use a wig as my hair is long enough to use hair extensions which is great and im also getting very good with makeup after some lessons with some of the girls im friends with.

All in all life is good atm and im looking forward to starting hormones, they cant come quick enough. Also i have posted some new pics if anybody wants to have a look. :)

Hi Lucy, I totally relate about the career change. I have a job that I enjoy, but it's would be difficult to transition in. I need to find a way to support myself that would help me in my transition and not oppose it. I am very proud of those who pull it off, I'm just not sure that's me.

Happy that things are going well for you,

Jamie

Hi Lucy

Thats good news that your supported in who you are.

We all hope for that and when it comes its great.

I knew a very beautiful young lady in Texas who was lesbian.

Although not trans she was a woman and she did welding and machinist work. she also worked in bronze and created several beautiful sculptures.

I know another cis woman in Washington that is a very accomplished machinist in a well known shop.

Im sure that these 2 ladies aren't the only ones that do welding and work in a mans trade.

Also I worked my whole life as a carpenter and the best carpenters I ever knew (other than me lol )

were female.(although maybe thats why I was so good, being trans giggle )

All Im saying here is even though your presenting as female doesn't mean you have to be a secretary or cook .

I believe that if you love doing something......do it.

Dont let gender rule your life. Rule your gender.

Just my 2 cents worth.

"Rule your gender." I'm going to use that as an affirmation when I feel doubtful and crummy. It's brilliant!

Groovy update Lucy,

Some change careers, some even move across the country in order to feel comfortable living fully as themselves (that would include me), and yet others find success without doing all that. In any case, you look great, and I wish you as much success with working as yourself as I have had (I am very well liked, and accepted at work). :)

hugs,

Stephanie

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
