Authenticity is a powerful state to be in. Congratulations!

I came out to my brother today, and it went 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭!!!! Literally couldn't imagine it going any better than it did. I didn't expect him to be so supportive, but I'm so overwhelmingly happy. I didn't think I'd ever be able to genuinely answer "great!" to someone asking me how I'm doing, but at this moment in time, I 100%, without a doubt, could. My big brother is the best person in the entire world and I love him so much ❤

❤️❤️🥰

Yes Celebrate!

That's the spirit!  Looking good!

Went to an historic house to complete "the look".   Trump can't take away these legs!    

hehehe, channeling Home Alone 2 a wee bit! 

Next on my to visit list was a consultant called James Dalrymple, the only advice he could offer was the more corrective work the more scar tissue build up. Back to Dr Johnson of Leeds Gender Clinic, she kindly wrote to the NHS (my local provider and strongly suggested that my mental health was deteriorating and that surgical correction would alleviate the condition. On wards to Westbourne Villas in Brighton to meet Michael Royle.

Another warm and sunny day. Went for several blood tests yesterday and hope to hear from the hospital by the end of the week. Out again this wednesday evening despite my pains, thought it might take my mind off things . My plants are doing quite well and little Mia is in a playful mood

I suppose its down to timing and the controller

Feeling the cracks forming and expanding.

Welcome Rosie - gosh does that sound familiar. Seems like you might want to chat to a therapist (hopefully versed in gender dysphoria) and maybe read through Gender Identity, an excellent workbook that helps you deside who you truly are based on your life. It is by Dara Hoffman-Fox (a gender therapist) and you can get for about $15 on Amazon.  You've found a loving, affirming community here, who only want you to find and BE who you are. Ask questions and we will answer honestly, truthfully and lovingly based on our experiences of being in a similar place. You are not Alone.

Good morning   @KymmieL With all the keys that I carry including two car fobs and three iTags (the keys are grouped into three sets) I couldn’t do it without a purse.  I have one set that has my house, mailbox, storage unit and XT5.  one that is just the CTS, and one that has all my Murphy keys.  But, what about a Murse?  They are starting to spread, not just NYC any more.     oh and yesterday proved it wasn’t the FOB, The car battery quit all together.  So, a new o’Reilly type 48 AGM later it runs again.  Very interesting battery post clamps, no bolts to loosen, just a lever.  Now I hope this does it.   i
