Omg what an evening that @Patti Anne and I had prior to her daughters arrival. I was In constant pep talk mode!  For my part I admit I was terribly nervous but had to put on my best super confidence hat for her and I was so anxious when she and I signed off just before her daughter arrived.  I couldn’t sleep a wink until I knew the outcome!
Not until Patti started to send me the play by play that is. She sent pictures of her daughter to me and shared pics of me with her too. I mention that because this young women not only had a huge amount of love and acceptance for her parent but Patti also told her daughter all about me and us and our future plans. Which she had total acceptance for as well. (Naturally making me very relieved!!!)

im so proud of my BFF and love her dearly and experiencing her total release of stress and anxiety and having complete joy was a beautiful moment for me to share with her.  I’m so happy for her to experience a total win with coming out. 
Yes there is a long road ahead for her coming out to everyone else but I will be with her every step of the way and together we can get her through it.

Thanks for all the answers to my question. It’s exciting to see how each one of you got your names. Ok day so far at work. Thinking of grocery shopping. Maybe. Not really that nice outside. Customers have been nicer today than previous days. Thought maybe overtime for Sat but haven’t heard anything. See my kids this weekend. That will be my highlight of the week!

Dreams are waking me up at night. Weird dreams? I’m always saving people in my dreams. I think that’s because in real life I’m always trying to help my kids, customers, and strangers if they need it. 
 

talk to ya later 

 

Love

Sorry @Tessa I intended to share mine as well.

My male name is Shawn Andrew Lxxxxxxxxx  

The Andrew is a generational middle name passed down from father to son for, well, generations.  I'm like 7th.  I hated to get rid of it completely so I slid the "A" to the end of my first name to feminize it more.  Shawn is bi gender and I had thought Id just keep it so it was easier on legal documents and such.  I like Shawna better.

I chose Leigh as my new middle name as a play on the generational thing again as it was my first born's middle name.

I love the way Shawn Leigh flows and sounds though not many call me both.

That's ok.

Shawna Works!!!

Patti Ann I am so happy for you. You didn't tell "THE" secret did you? Remember that is my job

Hi Kymmie

 

I did not let loose with any classified information. I'll leave that to you when the timing is right. Yes, the discussion with my daughter went really really well. I'm not sure that I intended to tell her everything. Shawna thought I should but I was unsure. When, after telling her the basics, she came over and hugged me and told me how much she loved me, so I let loose with the information. It went easily and seemed to flow naturally, so I went with it. 

 

It's a big load off my mind.

@Tessa unlike others, I went through a list of girls names when it came time to choose.  I eliminated all names I didn’t like or if I knew someone else with that name. Then I narrowed the remainder to 5 that I really liked.  Out of those, I chose Willow never connecting that my birth Name is William and I decided on Willow.  It was several months later when that was pointed out to me that the light bulb lit.

It's been an emotional roller coaster for me the past couple of weeks.

Talking with my therapist today about how low I'd felt and got complimented on my coping skills.

But things are brighter now, sitting here in my studio, relaxing in the recliner, trying to decide if I'm going to do more work this evening.

I know everyone must be chomping at the bit for quarantine to end, and I know there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there so let me preach a bit. Regardless of whether or not anyone in power has ill intent in using this lockdown, this virus is a real nightmare, don't take it lightly and do protect yourself. Aside from the obvious lung problems leading to death in many older individuals this thing attacks heart, liver, kidneys, nervous system and the blood stream.

I expect we'll all look back on the pre-virus world as the "good ol' days" at some time in the future.

Please stay healthy, all of you!

Much love and 《《《 hugs 》》》

Names.

My first name has the initial A, which my father always used - I'm a junior and the third generation to use my given name - so I slid that into the middle slot and did the good ol' southern thing using the name Anne. My middle name is Thomas or Tommy which is what I always went by. So I slid that into first place, went with the alternate spelling of "tommie" which sounds more feminine, the went with the feminine (I think its Gaelic but i could be wrong) version of that name as Tammie. Although in real life I will likely just stay with Tommie, since I answer to it already.

@Tessa for my name I simply added an E to the end, at least for the moment. That way I don’t get to confused lol.

 

Wasn’t a very good day for me today. No coffee (woke up to late and had to beeline for work) almost got in a huge fight with a couple coworkers. Just seemed like one of those teenage “I hate the world” kinda days. Feeling a little better now that I’m home. Just got to make it through tomorrow and I’m off the weekend. 
Have a pleasant night everyone

Justine, it's good to hear you have your sites on the weekend to destress from the work week. I hope your Friday goes well.

Good morning everyone! It’s Friday but I still get to work Saturday. Thunderstorms most of the night here. I told my wife I wanted to put makeup on and go out to eat tonight it’s been too long. I haven’t worn makeup since March and it makes me sad, so hopefully I get off at a decent hour and we can go eat.

Good Morning! Coffee is hot and good. Slept a little better and a bit longer. 

 

TammyAnne is right. This virus is dangerous and what will be our new normal is going to be different than the good old days.

 

Stay healthy and have a great day!

Thanks again for sharing. Today I thought I would like to share how if I was in a relationship I would like it to go. This scenario is during quarantine. The person works at home as well. In my story I’m doing my same job. Will start with a regular work day. 
 

Morning: 

 

I wake up to my love holding me tight in their arms. My love gives me a back massage and a tushy rub. Then because they love me and know me so much they go prepare a bubble bath for me. I ask them if they want to join? Sometimes they do other times they don’t. I don’t force the issue. 
 

After the bubble bath I meet my love for more cuddling and to talk to them about what I’m going to do today and I ask them what there going to do. We might have morning sex! (I never got This with my ex) After we’ve had our fun my love would hold me again. This time I would kinda hold them. Playing with their hair and giving them a massage. I have to be on the computer at 8 am sharp. I go freshen up. Makeup, brush teeth, do hair, lotion skin. Let’s say my love knows how to cook. I then get dressed and my love is in the kitchen making us breakfast. French Toast is my favorite. We eat and talk. My love tells me they love me and I’m special VIP. I tell them also what they mean to me! I give them a big kiss and hug and then start my day. My love also works but a few times they check on me. Maybe a shoulder rub and a few kisses throughout the day. 
 

Afternoon: 
 

I take lunch around noon. My love and I if it’s a nice day will eat outside. I will put my legs on their lap as we eat and talk. Our conversation will be encouraging and uplifting because I don’t like to talk about depressing things. 
 

Evening: I get off at 5 and let’s say they were off at 4. My love decided to go to a drive through and get some food and surprise me. They also know how I love to shop! So they stopped at Target and bought me a new mini skirt. I love those! They surprise me with it! I put it on and we eat while watching a romantic movie! After the movie a late evening walk. The parks are closed but we just walk around. They hold my hand. 
 

Night Time: The day comes to a close. I take my shower and put on a nightgown. Depending how we both feel we might have sex. Then my Love holds me al night. If I have a bad dream they will stay up with me. I know they love me and I always feel that I’m the VIP. 
 

It’s fantasy I know. How many of you got this kind of treatment from past or your present lover? I gave my ex a back rub every morning. I told her I loved her. I guess that wasn’t enough for her. Now she has a boyfriend. My day will come and if not I’ll love myself as if I’ve already found that special person! Living single is hard but loving yourself can be easy if you just let go of the past and let the present wash over you like a long hot bubbly bath! Feel the water and let go of all your insecurities and make yourself the VIP. Because you are! Love yourself and condition your mind to receive the kind of love you deserve. Don’t settle for second best because even if you never find someone at least you never gave up on yourself! 
 

Feeling very romantic this morning!

 

Love and hugs 

 

Tessa ❤️??

Happy Friday!  

Its going to be a summery day here in Maryland.  They say it will make it into the upper 80s.   A nice change from the cold weather we've had until now.

 

Also, a reminder that its National Nylon Stockings day!  It might be too hot to wear them, though...

How to Celebrate Nylon Stockings Day

Celebrate Nylon Stockings Day by purchasing your very own pair of stockings! Nylon stockings are classy and sleek. Whatever you wear them with, know that your legs will look fabulous in them anywhere you go! Buy a few pairs of stockings on this day and give them out to your friends.

Good afternoon.  Kind of hanging on today.

I want to get in on this too.

I wrote down name ideas and combinations for a couple of years.  Dozens, maybe hundreds of them. Most of them had meanings and connections.  Some just sounded cool.

At one point I realized I would never decide. I made an appt at the courthouse to start the process.  My new legal name is simply the last one on my list the day I filled out the initial paperwork.  Madelyn is my middle name now. I'd been using Maddie as 1st name for a couple years, but too many people thought it was Matt when I told them.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
