Good morning everyone 

 

Im taking a small day trip today. I am going to briefly see a friend. She will be getting her surgery in a little over a week.  Unfortunately neither of us can afford to get too close for fear of covid. She has to be extremely careful due to her upcoming surgery and i for a visit with an ENT that specializes in issues of voice and throat.  

 

Im actually going to borrow a special sewing machine to fix a sail.

 

Ah coffee is done. Have a great day.

Hi everyone! Pancakes at Village Inn this morning. A little treat! Anyway today I feel especially girly so I put on one of my sun dresses. I styled my hair to look cute and I’m leaving my gold nail polish on. It’s hard to look authentic but I do my best. 

A GIFT (Amazing Story) 

 

A gift of 100 dollars was given to me from a complete stranger on Sunday! This lady in the mall prayed for me and told me God loved me and I am very special to Him. I was at the mall at this time and my Ex and son came walking in. My Ex looked down and quickly walked by while my teenage son waived at me and smiled. I opened up to this lady about my Ex hating me and then right in front of her she ignores me. The conversation started with how the world is and somehow it got personal. She was asking God who she could bless! This is an amazing thing that of all the people there she chose me! She was thinking of the man that was there with a broken arm in a cast but it was me instead! So with all the crazy things going in the world and all the people in the world I was chosen to receive a gift from God! We all are loved and this could happen to anyone! 
 

Everyone here has been amazingly sweet to me! I am on a journey of healing. I believe this was a sign of that. 
 

Blessings to all of you! 
 

Love

Just had my day made. I was out working in on the bike. when I heard a roar over head. Looking up I see an US Air Force B-1B bomber fly over. Wings back and everything. it was so freaking cool. I texted my oldest, he said FE Warren is having there air show this weekend. Now to really make my week a B-52 needs to fly over. Just got a text from my son. The B-1b is from Ellsworth AFB, Were I was stationed. I was there when we first  got the bones.

Tori. There are more kind people in the world then unkind. These people hide and we need to help them come out. It’s easy to judge someone based on skin, dress, their body, voice, mannerisms, and you can pretty much pick what you want to hurt someone but being kind you have to look over all of that and release your inner rainbow and see that no color in the rainbow wants to be the only color. Who would want a one color rainbow? Judging is a fast escape and a cowardly move. Some people walked by and saw my toes painted and pointed and laughed at me. I said nothing. I just let them walk by.  This world needs to see until we can love one another without judging we will never move forward. There is no one exactly like someone else so why do we want people to be like us? Be yourself and no one can judge you but you.

Going to start my day at Burger King. I have to go grocery shopping today. Last night I went to the 5 and below store. I bought a sun dress and a mini skirt. Only 10.00! 
 

I will start working next week at my retail job. They gave me 16 hours. This will help with bills. I still have off Mon, Tues, and Friday. I hope I can handle wearing a mask all shift. 
 

Next week will hopefully be talking to the CPS Worker on the case against my ex. I hope to hear good news. I feel free right now. I’m sitting in my patio in my Grey mini and a black shirt. I a

I took a long walk to the interstate bridge last night. I go there when I want to be alone. I listened to music and danced in the bridge. It was a freeing time! Some truckers honked at me to! Lots of trucks late at night. 
 

Time to soon go get breakfast and start my work day. I hope I can be an inspiration to my customers and show them the kindness they deserve. We are all struggling and we all could use a helping hand and I am glad to be that for them. Not all are nice to me but so is life. 
 

Most gender me over the phone as female. I am just for fun tracking the calls that don’t. Only 2 people mis gendered me over the phone. Today is going to be a good day! 
 

Love to all!

Good morning, everyone!  (actually bedtime for me here)  I haven't posted on Morning Coffee for a while because I didn't have much new/news to share .. but!

TODAY!  I finally, Finally, FINALLY had my first therapy session.  And it was wonderful! 

I have a great therapist .. she let me upack 50+ years of baggage (well we ran out time .. but she actually let me go long past our :50 session), and she wants to see me weekly.

Still dealing with my wife's anxiety about me making progress, but I am hoping she will come along at some point (my therapist suggested this also).


THANK YOU to everybody on this Forum who have strongly encouraged therapy as an initial step.  It gave me the courage and determination to finally take that step.  HUGS for everyone❣️

Hi all.  I'm still alive and kicking.  Absent but not gone.

Still just adjusting to life on the other side of the country after the big move and setting up a new life here in Oregon.  Unpacking, waiting for furniture to be delivered and now working at my new job just this week.  There is the crappy 2 hour commute one way for a month before the local 15 minute away VA hospital opens their Biomed dept. back up.  But all in all its going very well.

 

THEE Biggest news is I finally received my legal name and gender marker change this past Wednesday.  I am now legally Shawna Leigh and female.

The process was said to take several weeks so I filled out my paperwork and mailed it late Sunday evening.  In hopes to get it going soon. They called me a couple days later on Tuesday with a court date either that afternoon or the next day.  Holy crap that is fast admin.  Well I was at work 2 hours away so I opted for the next day.

 

@Patti Anne wanted to be there for me so we went for the 1pm appointment.  Waiting maybe 10 minutes for them to call me in.  Patti was unable to go in with me which was disappointing at the time.  The court room was empty and I had just walked in carrying all my papers to prove residency, surgery, etc.. and just received instructions from the Bailiff where to sit.

This is when the judge calls out, "Your all set."

I'm I stop walking and said, "That's it?  I'm all set???"

He says, "Yep, all set."

I say thank you and turned back around.  Maybe a total of 15 seconds inside the court room.

Now THATS fast justice IMHO.

 

However we had to wait 30 minutes for the signed copy to come down to get my own official copies for other agencies but all in all it was super fast.

Its did not even hit me until that evening what I actually had happen.

Its amazing to realize a dream come true and it happening so fast I did not have time to let it sink in.

 

Patti Anne went and got me a small cake and we had a small birthday party of sorts as it was my first day as a legal women and one legally called Shawna Leigh.

I'm glad things are working out for the both of you after your move. It's good to hear that the two of you are happy and finding these little victories along the way!

Damn, Sis. Shawnaleigh Why am I always last to know these things. LOL. Congrats on finally becoming a woman. That is one reason I have looked a moving to Oregon. The name change is so easy, there.

However the gender marker change is easy here on your license in WY. Just need to have your Dr. fill out a paper saying they are treating you and you are female. Take it to the DMV and get it changed. piece of pie easy as cake. LOL.

Happy Birthday @ShawnaLeigh and congratulations on the successful name and gender change. It wasn’t a long court appearance but the memory of it will be with you the rest of your life.

Congratulations, Shawna!  I remember floating 3 feet above the ground and looking again and again in disbelief at my papers and license for days after I got mine changed.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Relaxing after work and binge watching “I am Jazz”.
Thinking about painting my toes, but not too hard lol. Just got to decide what color to do.

@ShawnaLeigh, divine bovine, girl! It doesn't seem that long ago you were just starting your journey... This is a major milestone! Congratulations to you! I am so happy for you! You are an inspiration to me.  Things have been going so slowly for me, but I hope Maryland will be a great place for the new me. Hearing about your progress helps keep me going.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.  
    • KathyLauren
      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
