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.

You are coming along nicely and smoothly LBD is indeed a significant milestone.

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*

      Welcome aboard, Violet. What a pretty name!   You are among friends here. We are all on a journey, with things in common despite our individual uniqueness. I hope that makes sense!

      I was just notified by WPATH about this new resource. It is also World Voice Day!  Please see link: https://vocalcongruence.org

      Oh Yes!   This one is so obvious to anyone who has had a cat and observed any Big Cat.

      Welcome Violet.  It's been awhile since i found this space with so many who understand the struggle to simply be ourselves in a society that often disapproves,  It isn't an easy path but being together we can share all the bumps and the joys. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm sorry it didn't work out for the new job. Nothing to keep you from being on the search. I had a coworker who used to walk out of the locker room saying; "I was looking for a job with I found this one and I'll keep searching for the next one. Never let them think you're comfortable and settled."   The coffee has just finished brewing, and we have a HVAC technician coming in about 30 minutes to do an annual system check.   It's time to get out of my Pj's.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.
