Shawna, we see it last.  Very nice!

 

As to your dentist wanting your medical record.  This is important as they see changes in our health that might go unnoticed.  I had my semi-annual visit earlier this week.  On the medical history document I review and update each time there is a question about a specific type of medication which I happen to have just started.  We ended up discussing it for a moment.   

 

Before any major surgical procedure most surgeons during the pre-op consultation will suggest that you have a full dental checkup and x-rays as any infection in the mouth will compromise the pending surgery and possibly become a huge problem.

Not sure if this counts here but I found my strength and resolve last night.  I am not going to be held down. Put conditions on me.  Time lines or even who I decide to tell or not and when.  It felt good and it made me smile inside feeling my female get her dander up and take a stand.  
Hoping for a good positive talk this weekend with my wife but prepared for battle!!!

While moving all my things out of our bedroom into the spare room my wife seemed to find a bit more acceptance for me today.  She gave me advice on how women do certain things even gave me some feminine things for the shower and picked out flowery pillow cases for my bed.
It felt wonderful.  It made me smile.

Well it was on Halloween before my wife and son started in. I had a laser appointment in Ft Collins. I decided to dress how I feel, female. So I wore gray sweater dress, matching leggings, low boots, changed my ear rings to a Halloween set.

 

All the time I was out and about in Both Ft. Collins and Cheyenne. I felt free, not nervous. It was a great feeling. I had no problems walking into anywhere. The Cheyenne VA is were I feel the most accepted. The VA acceptance policy makes me feel fantastic. I can even use the ladies room. (there policy is you can use the restroom of the sex you identify as) After my VA visit I got lunch at the Burger King. The young lady at the counter treated me as a lady. Not even any weird looks while I was eating. The whole trip out was great.

 

It was later that night when the deification hit the rotary oscillator.

Had a great encounter with another woman on the elevator. She loved my coat and thought it was hilarious when I answered back, "Thank you, it covers up most of my flaws." She wants one for herself.

 

Also got the door held for me by two guys at the gas station and I got the appropriate ma'am, but that wasn't as much fun as elevator woman.

 

Hugs!

I have often used the ladies room at VA even though I don't present female, although a lot of genetic females dress much the same as me as I'm into layering, so no one has ever raised their eyebrows at me over it. My reasoning is normally based on the fact that some male has tied up the men's room while taking lengthy dump a reading a magazine. @#%&*!

In the shop yesterday. I was serving a lady. When she stopped me and asked how do i get my nails looking so good.

 

It was quite a lovely compliment as i always do my own. Never been to one of thoss enail bar type things.

 

So i explained to her what i use and how i prepare them pre painting. i think her next stop was going to be to pick up some base and top coat.

 

Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling  As I have commented on others but rarely get one back concerning nails.

This happened yesterday.  Went shopping for winter boots for me.  All I own is steel toed hiker looking boots I was issued at various employments.  Not only are the highly used looking but steel toed uninsulated boots are not good in snow and cold weather of Vermont.  
My wife and I were looking but we were not finding anything in men’s.  I wasn’t looking very hard because I naturally wanted a womens style.
She then looks at me and says.  “You want to go check out the women’s section?”   I’m like Yes!!!  
So we did.  I didn’t even feel uncomfortable and no one even looked at me funny. I was full on guy mode but dressed somewhat nice and maybe on a feminine side.   We both tried on several pairs and I found a nice Sorel insulated boot pink n grey.  I loved them.  She bought them for me.  I was shocked.  
Then we went to find her some flannel pants for around then house.  I ended up getting a pair too and some leggings both in a small size.  She bought those too.  Holy crap really?!?!   I was surprised as she was buying mediums for herself.  Lol

It was a wonderful trip.  It made me smile ear to ear.

Wonderful, and a sign of things to come between you both perhaps! First thing my wife bought me was a pair of leggings which I initially wore like long johns under my jeans during cold weather. She said, "OMG you have such nice legs, too bad you don't wear them outside!" Then she bought me a pair of women's size 11 BearPaw boots, a less expensive version of Uggs, and a few heavy cotton Henley pullovers. Worn in combo I look as good if not better than many females except my face screams "Male." Then she had lost some weight and put several pair of her size 12 jeans in the Goodwill bag and I said, "-what the heck- they are like new!" She said, "Try them on then!" It turned out that they fit better than any men's jeans and looked great on me. I eventually lost some extra weight and now wear size 10's, we go shopping together. I have a number of Rhonda Shear Aah Bras and Coobie Bras that do me a great justice too which I buy online under her name. Being non-binary I usually wear big Hawaiian style shirts during the warmer months and a jacket, hoodie or vest during the Fall/Winter months in order to maintain a rather stealth but androgynous look in public as I'd rather not have the boobs make too much of a visual statement for gawkers.

@Jackie C. Lovely rich colour. I like them a lot.  I also like your nail shape

 

Thank you Jackie. I am lucky enough to have nails i can do myself to a reasonable standard. It wasnt always the case. I have taught myself how. But be assured my first efforts were nothing like the semi skill i have in that department.

Shawna; Awesome news on the acceptance from your nearest and dearest. Post a picture of those boots if you can. Love to see them ?

 

 

Just a smal piece of happiness today. It is always nice when something is justified.

 

My voice. If you look back its one of those things i did with only the therapy of singing to Annie Lennox in the car and just working  hard to get it just right.

Since perfecting it. I have never really had it questioned like talking on the phone and such like.. Yesterday i was in an online platform. I ended up talking to a woman i had never spoke to before.  Somehow the conversation got onto menopause. She contiued to ask me about how did mine go. Therefore i can just assume my voice has reached a point where it is no diffrent from any other woman in the street.

 

Not much. But it lovely when something happens like that and it kind of justifys the work you put in.

As perfecting a voice to portray me was always very important for me to archieve.

So I got a new CD on a whim. "Postcard" by Mary Hopkin. Have been enjoying listening to her clear, sweet voice singing "Those Were the Days" and thinking it odd that I never noticed that I identified with female singers as a child, singing in first person as a she and never giving it a thought. Does that make me smile? Yes. It even makes me chuckle.

Singing has been out of my life since being in the Army wrecked my voice. But my voice is back, and the sense of euphoria that voicing happy songs gives me.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
