Thread For Happy Things

Because sometimes things DO go well and we should have somewhere to post random happy occurrences that don't warrant a thread of their own. :)

Today I got Sir'd on the phone for the first time, and changed my name on my bank accounts. :D

This thread is an awesome idea.

I went clothes shopping with my Mum, and she went through the womens section looking for stuff, then went completely unprompted to the mens to help me find some jeans, and ended up buying me two distinctly male shirts. I love my mum sometimes :)

'grats on the phone pass and document changing :D

Sweet topic.

Umm... Found out today - I have PCOS which I think is pretty cool cuz it means I'm already makin too much T and I'm pre-T. So I'm actually happy about that lol.

Also - recently my mom addressed a package from me and she put "RJ" in the return address... my family has been using my birth name so that was a (big?) step for her. Also, she likes my endo. Which is cool because I think then she'll be more on board with what I'm doing if I'm doing it under the care of a doc she likes.

This weekend changed my contact address at Catherines (womens clothing store) and Sephoras - to my new address so I can get the special offers!

Biggest thing, though?

Used the women's room at the big mall. It has a reputation for calling security guards in on people that apparently are CDers or androgynous stage T-Girls. But the attendant looked right at me and didn't notice anything. MY LAST HURDLE in New Orleans for passing full time in public. WHEW

I got bro's at the gym today and the guy gave me some advice to help bulk up my arms. ^.^ Felt sooo good.

Also, I got some weird looks when I moved into the women's only section (to get to the change room). XD Sooo awkward.

Awesome topic!!

On Thursday I was on a road trip for the long weekend and my family stopped at this little park washroom. I was the only one in the girls', and this woman came in while I was fixing my hair, gave me this *look*, backed up to check the sign on the door, and kept walking with a confused expression on her face. :lol: made me pretty happy.

Well, I'm done all my paperwork for my top surgery. Now I'm just waiting to see my endo and book the appointment with my surgeon. It's all paid for so I guess I only have to worry about the traveling bit.

Only a little trans related and not too specific-I did a small good deed today-with the help of an awesome friend-some people can do anything

And my friends laughed me out of my headache and "poor pitiful me" mood

I Truly Love You all

Wrote an e-mail to my mother telling her that I am male.

Always have been, always will.

Still awaiting a response, but it is nice to finally stand up for myself.

Amazing thread idea. Hurray for everyone! \o/

This isn't nearly as monumental as any of yours, but it still made my day.

My adorable boyfriend identifies as straight, except that he's gay for me. We've been together for seven months, so I'm still meeting all his friends. Last night, he called to invite some of those as-yet-unmet friends to join us at a restaurant. He said, "[My name] and I are going out to dinner, and--wait, you haven't met him yet, have you? He's my boyfriend." And then continued with the invite.

Even though it's not a big deal to him--and I should really be used to it by now--it's still a big deal to me. Makes me want to attack him, in a good way.

Yay! Happy things!

I'm super happy right now cause I just made my appointment to get T. Assuming all my blood work comes back fine, I finally have a date! I was so excited on the way home that I didn't realize I'd forgotten to turn until the road I was on hit a dead end :P

and @MemoryAlpha, way to go! That's an awesome step. I hope it goes well for you.

That's awesome, congrats! I would've hit the dead end too, lol.

I have been approved for SSI for my autism, have been on T for about five months, have my own vehicle now, and even a cell phone. Currently, I'm at the coast staying with my grandma to evade the Northwest heatwave that's passing through. All-in-all, I'm doing rather well. :)

:lol: I find that other people's happiness is infectious! It's great. :D

Being trans can be so serious and grinding but we all end up with happy moments and breakthroughs when things go our way (and the occasional funny stories) that we should give an airing once in a while.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
