An update from Audrey!

Hi everyone!

 

I know it has been such a long time since I have been on the forums. I hope you all have been doing well!

 

I wanted to share an update about how things are going for me. I was in a really tough place early this year with my breakup, but I have healed a lot from that time. Since I was last here, my transition has moved forward in an incredibly positive way. I have had so many supportive coming out experiences with more friends, as well as family, colleagues, and even clients. The love  from everyone has been such a blessing in so many ways, and more than ever I know my path is the right one. I am now fully out at work, and the company has updated my email address and records except where my legal name is still necessary. I am starting down the road of those changes now. HRT continues to go very well at the nine month mark too, and I have not had any more major skin reactions from the electrolysis. I am now Audrey all the time, my old clothes are long gone and donated to charity.

 

The other day, I went with a friend to Macy’s Herald Square here in Manhattan on a mission... to find, try on, and buy a little black dress. And here it is! I was so excited that I put it on and wore it out to a restaurant that very night. So many anxieties overcome in that joyful day, and I felt (and still feel!) truly like the beautiful woman I am becoming! ❤️

Also, me! I got my hair shaped and styled today.

 

Thank you all for the birthday wishes today too!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Never underestimate the power of a LBD to make you feel happy, secure, and sexy!!! Your shoes are a good match for it too! ?

@Audrey, I am so happy to hear hear how well things are going for you.  I was really worried when you stopped showing up...it was on kind of a sad note.  It's great to see how wonderful you look, and how well people are treating you.  Good coming out experiences are so uplifting (I had one yesterday).  I've been so busy, that I just found this posting, so thanks for making my day.  You've always been so encouraging to people, so it's nice to hear from you..

Hi @Audrey,

 

I missed this update from you so sorry I’m late on a reply. It’s so nice to see you again. Your latest shopping spree was a success. You look like one classy lady in that black dress. Very nice!?

 

*Hugs*

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Loving this woman I am becoming.

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)
