So as you know I told my son from my other recent post. An incredible feeling. 
Well my daughter was told tonight and it went even better!   
Apparently she has a friend that just went through all this snd she knows how hard it was on her.  
She said she wishes she knew sooner.  She felt so sorry for me.  
I broke down and cried.  
My wife looks over and said. “Well looks like she’s ok with it“  Lol

Wow, more great news ShawnaLeigh...what a relief for you!  One of my grandkids said almost the exact same thing to me after my retelling my life story at a kids level (they were 7 & 9 at the time).  Some children have deep empathy.  It surprised me.  I think it was very helpful for you that her friend had experiences similar to yours.  Sounds like you have some great kids.

Thank you ladies.  It has been wonderful having that stress lifted.  
I still have my uphill battles but my support is growing to an unexpected size.  
it gives me hope for an easier transition.

How wonderful ShawnaLeigh, I'm so glad your children are taking it well.  I actually have a dear friend that is transitioning, and when she told her daughters, one of them said: "well it's about time you finally confirmed what we already knew."  Kids are so intuitive and they are of a generation that doesn't have the hangups ours does.

 

Congrats, hugs,

I had a similar experience about a week ago. I went to a cousin of mines house for dinner in booties and with my nylon bra and fake breasts in. She commented me on them. Her mother my aunt was there and didn't say a thing.

Mahaney that was brave! Telling family and have them process it is one thing, but when they actually see us dressed physically in front of them we can still only hope for a positive reaction. Good news is good newsthough, well done Shawnaleigh I'm happy for you :)

I may be alittle late but congratulations! lol I believe the next few generations aren't going to be as judgemental as people were in the past, My younger brother and sister were both happy af to hear me coming out last summer as well, i was super relieved because of how well they took it and understood, the feeling of being accepted by the people you feel like you have a responsibility to is one of the greatest things ❤️

This here. The difference in attitude from this generation vs. my own generation or my parent's generation is amazing. I hope that we continue to move forward as a culture and a species and away from the prejudices of the past. My niece was great, she was basically, "Neat! I have another aunt." My nephew is seventeen and communicates entirely through grunts and farts. I think he's happy, but it's hard to tell.

LOL I might have the same personality as your nephew minus the farting part ? I like to be a loner so I prefer little to no communication at all unless it was virtually done then I could talk away for hours! I know that its most likely a form of anxiety & i should see someone about it but i'm fine, i'm happy, infact i've never felt this way since the day i found out why i was a "boy" in physical form. Sometimes things take time and patience instead of gouging on pills with 3984520938 side effects. IM NOT AGAINST PILLS, I just try to avoid them WHENEVER i can, But i will take pills whenever i really need them, like my HRT pills but anyways i'm going to shut up before this turns into a messy debate on medication/healthcare lol. 

Can I just say i'm jelly about all of your waving flags though? Any way i could fix this or is this a web dev thing?

      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.

      Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

      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.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath. 
    • Ashley0616
      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      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.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      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?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
    • FinnyFinsterHH
      Thank you!

      sound  nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching..   how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan?   hugs
