Been a while...

[Beth Susan]

Hi my lovelies,

Been thinking a while about making an update to my story. Time to share life to this point.

 

So, I am legally Elizabeth now. Yesterday the court order came through, YAY!! Also, most of all have been on hormones for three months. Just getting started but it seems to be doing well. And lastly I have come out to everyone. I live, dispite the face hair, as me full time. Out to family, friends and most of all work.

 

Happily, I am accepted by most and respected by all, so far. Wish all could be and should be respected if nothing else. Well off to said work.

 

Hugs,

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth! Wonderful to hear your journey is going well, & you're accepted so well. I've been on HRT just over two months, the changes, they are a'comin. Starting to feel the balance between mind & body, & I love it!

 

Hugs!

Thanks for the update.  Becoming legally myself was a highlight boy my journey!  I almost had an urge to get a traffic ticket.  You will deal with the facial hair over time or simply learn to live with it.  I'm fortunate to only have to shave once a day or at times i've gotten away with two days.  Perhaps in time i'll do something about it?  Accept and respect is all we can expect.  I'm fortunate to have found that as well.

 

Hugs,

Delcina B and Charlize,

 

Thank you for the replies. Yes thank goodness that everything that starts to clearly change helps my mind and body become one. 

 

Sorry I did fail to mention. I am getting my face lasered, for the dark hair. Soon I will get electrolysis for the white. The one thing I should have had more done before coming out. Until a few months ago their was no one in my city to do the work. Luckily the laser operator, who just opened a shop, has an aunt here that is an electrologist. She does not advertise. So as with everything, it is all happening as it should.

 

I am trying to accept myself as I physically am, at this moment. I have tried to fit into the box my heart says I am in. Sadly it does my head in to work that hard. It is never good enough. So all I can do is accept myself, and pray others do too. I am headed to the right box for me, it is just slow. I have lived in the wrong box too long and any box, right or not, hurts way more than not fitting in the right one.

 

I think the most important thing for me to share, Is accept who you are as you are right now. Knowing you are headed in the right direction. Lucky for me I do not live in an area that I feel I NEED to hide myself from. Some people are unkind. I look very different than others. I will never fit in anyways. My personality is way to flamboyant and I can not hide it, most of all, anymore. I won't. Any hiding hurts more to me than just taking the mean. For once in my life I am ME no matter what others do.

 

That was the rest of my first post. I had to scurry off to work before. So  I was unable to finish it.

 

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. Wishing ALL my queer family the happiest of days no matter where in your journey you may be 😘🤗

 

Hugs,

Elizabeth

Hi Beth Susan! I'm so ready for laser, or something to rid me of the shadow. As you said, progress on the journey to feeling balanced. There's more than a few cis women who look in the mirror & think , "If only..."

 

Hugs!
