Good Morning.  
I am having a cloud 9 feeling right now.  Incredible positive mood!  Everyone may of knew me here as Nivegnal.  
My name is ShawnaLeigh!!!


I was lucky enough to with all the help and love here to encourage me in finding a female name.  
Some knew my struggle.  
I woke today to find my friend Bicky has changed it here for me. To see it as a name that is me.  Displayed near my picture is amazing!
I did not expect the feelings I am experiencing right now.  Like another major step closer to being ME.  
Yes.  I cried.  Lol

Good tears this time.  Not from fear or pain or shame. From finding a small piece of her on the outside.  I’m weird I know.  
I like good tears.  It’s a nice change!

Thank you all for being suck a great group of strangers I now consider to be My true family.  
All the Ladies and Gentlemen I’m an getting to know fills my heart with hope.

I know to some this may sound silly.  I feel like I found a small hidden piece of myself that I had dug out of the attic that I had not known about.  Something that truly speaks to me.

I truly had no intentions of changing a thing a week or so ago.

I have said my new name like 1000 times over and over this weekend in my head and some out loud to just hear it.

I kind of feel silly like I said, but I am amazed how I feel about this.

Thank you for your reply!

Thank you for posting ShawnaLeigh.  I remember the joy of seeing and using my name.  It took time until my head turned around quickly when i heard it but that has come as well.  It is an amazingly liberating experience.

 

Hugs,

Hearing your name is a powerful validation of self.  It may take a while for it to sink in and become natural but it will come.  Very nice Shawna!

Hi ShawnaLeigh,

 

Congrat's! I remember the first time I saw my name refering to me. It's special, and I'm sure you'll never forget it.

 

Lots of love, 

Timber Wolf ?

      Good luck on selling your wife on the idea of a different car. This could be tougher than negotiating with a dealership.   My wife agreed to my taking profit out of the company to buy a used truck once we found out the 2014 F-250 I currently had with 267,244 miles on it was needing new torque converter solenoids and the DEF system is chocking up. We bought a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, Duramax 4X4, with 163,000 miles. LTZ Off Road package, power mirrors, chrome step boards, rear camera, exhaust brake, and air lift bags on the rear suspension. It belonged to a friend of mine who also owned a mobile training business.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      At the other end and in our favor is Julia Serano's analysis of the Cass Report Fiasco   https://juliaserano.medium.com/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the-perpetual-debate-over-gender-affirming-care-8f56d0c4d0c6   Serano is a Trans Woman and a molecular biologist herself, guess whose evaluation I honor.

      That's great @MaeBe hopefully the company will offer your wife a moving package with the new job position. That's how I was transferred from the St. Louis Metro area to the Indianapolis Metro area. The company covered all the moving expenses, as well as a three week stay in an extended living hotel while we chose an area to build our current home.   Good Luck and make it a happy adventure.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Birdie is the day care in charge of your MyChart, Hospital, and Doctors as to how you are cared for? There has to be some way to prove that you were born intersex and have a choice on your chosen pronouns. I wish we could do more for you. Keep pushing forward.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That's nice. I have bought all my stuff through Best Buy because I love the customer service.

      The Republicans are not interested in compromising.  Johnson will be gone for compromising unless the Dems help him out.

      Biden campaigned as the master negotiator, able to push legislation through Congress.   Whatever bill a Dem president, a Dem Senate, and a Rep House can agree on might be  more palatable than a bill with a R president, R Senate and R House given present attitudes. They are throwing away a chance.
    • Ivy
      A bill like this would never get through congress, even if it were allowed to be voted on.

      It was the only appliance that was not replaced when I bought the house.Plus I have the phone number for the scrap metal hauling guy that stops at where I work at.Called him and it will be his once I get the new stove.Told me give me a call once it is out and he will come to pick it up

      Ha, that's funny - I swear this is the one I used to use in high school to get around school blockers and play games. 😅🤦‍♀️   Though I'd be wary of using a free VPN today, if your only intent is bypassing censorship, I guess it works. Proton VPN also has a free tier with a limited selection of countries/servers. I feel more comfortable recommending them as they actively try to fight censorship with new evolving VPN protocols, and they protect your privacy. They are also directly funded by their paying customers. So there is really no downside to using their free tier over another free VPN that may not have the same goals/values.

      That sounds pretty accurate. I'm just glad I don't use Windows anymore, as I basically consider Windows itself a virus/malware. Backups can absolutely save you from some types of malware like ransomware. However it's ideal to just not get infected by having smart browsing habits. It's been said, and very accurately so, that the best antivirus is you - even the best antivirus isn't 100% accurate in detecting bad stuff, if you go out looking for that stuff or browse carelessly.   I guess if you don't care and/or don't have sensitive data on your PC, then that's fine I suppose. I personally care a lot - personal accounts, private messages, and even my very presence on this site aren't necessarily things I want to be public knowledge. 🤓🫠

      Yes he is. Sorry it has taken so long. One sick kid and the other has needed my attention more than usually. 
    • MaeBe
      Sure is! Is he good with the kiddos?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Once again the Biden admin ignores Congress and issues a regulation that can be quickly changed. It would be much wiser if they worked a bill through Congress that became law.
