That is super great news. I am excited for you. I am waiting for news therapist to get my referral letter and want to see if my old psych will also help me. Congrats.

Awesome news @ElizabethStar!

 

So my day started a little down but then I get to my clinic to open up for the day and find a note saying "Follow the Balloons Bri". SO there's a trail of balloons throughout the whole clinic leading to the back break room which is completely decorated with streamers, balloons and other party decor and a big banner saying "Welcome Bri" and a tiara sitting under it and a couple of balloons with "It's a girl" on them.   My staff threw a Gender Reveal Party for me! (insert crying mess here). I truly do have the best people around me.  What a way to start my day.

@KymmieL I hope it doesn’t come to leaving your son and wife behind, but If  I recall they teamed up Against you some time back so I understand your concerns.  My wife tries to accept me but can only take so much. She is slowly getting better.  Still hoping the Portland job will come through for you.

 

@Bri2020 so happy for you.

Good Morning everyone. With some work it looks like I will be able to leave on our trip later today. Got some good advice from my therapist yesterday. Hopefully doesn't come to that.

Looks like we are riding into some nice weather. while I won't have my laptop on the trip. Will be able to keep in touch with TP on my phone.

Good morning 

 

Kymmie, be safe on your ride and I hope everything goes ok with your son.

 

So I had my group meeting via zoom last night.  I do find it’s helpful to have others to talk to and get others ideas.  
 

i wore a blouse and pants we had bought for my wife, but it didn’t fit her.  Unfortunately I tend to inherit things that don’t fit her right.  Even on me it was a little tight.  I asked if she thought the top looked ok.  Her suggestion was to take out my breast forms so my breasts wouldn’t be as big.  I took her advice it did look better but she looks at me and asks if my breasts were growing?  My bra was molded cups so it didn’t make a lot of difference so I showed her.  She looks at me and decided she didn’t see breast growth. (I know she is sensitive to that). When ever she questions that, I get out the taylors tape and measure around my breasts.  Low and behold I now have a full inch more!  Good for me, not for her.

 

enjoy your weekend.

 

hugs

Coffee is long gone but emotional upswing is going strong ? Had one of the best Fridays. It all started with a visit to DMV. I finally found time to update my license with my new name. When they saw the name I was changing to, the tone of voice and attitude switched from candlelight to electric bulb ? I was getting "sweetie"and  "honey" constantly, and actually had nice chat about random things. Right after, I stopped at the bank to update account and card and the lady there was also much more chatty when she saw my name. And on top of it, when she called other department she was referring about me using "she" which was completely unexpected but so heartwarming. ?

Now, where else can I go and update my name? Teehehehehe

 

? To the great weekend.

Congratulations on getting your license updated!  Isn't it nice when you can feel the good vibes from total strangers?

 

I think a lot of people go out of their way to be nice to trans people.  It's hard to be stealth when you are updating your name in their records, so it's not like they don't know.  They are just nice people.  It is so heart-warming to experience it, and to hear you describing it.

 

Thank you for posting about it.  You made my day. :D

@RunValRun I can almost see the smile on your face and joy in your heart. Congrats.

Thank you for kind words ? It is absolutely wonderful to use the new name and hear it back.

While I was using it at work to get people accustomed for the last few months, it has more satisfying ring to it when it's supported by official paperwork ?

you bet - I love the sound of my new name but only you ladies and my medical teams use it yet -

Yes, it is nice to be called by your new name instead of a dead name.  I get called Willow at group by everyone which is nice.  by some close friends that know Willow and by my wife occasionally but that usually a little snarky since she doesn't like Willow.  Doctors will call me by that name if I am appropriately dressed and not when I'm not.  

 

Spent most of the day at the beach.  It was a nice day.

 

Hugs

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!
    • Sally Stone
      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @violet r   I think we all were scared with our first post here on TPF. I hope you come to find this site as welcoming as an old friend. Not knowing the type of retail you're in, it is hard to know how they will react to your coming out. I would hope that if it's part of a larger corporation they may have corporate policies supporting/protecting you once you decide to come out publicly. No one here will rush you, or try to slow you down, once you've decided to come out. Some of us are secret sisters, and others of us are as flamboyant as they come. The cool this is you get to choose. You be you.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      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!

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
