Good Morning.  
I am having a cloud 9 feeling right now.  Incredible positive mood!  Everyone may of knew me here as Nivegnal.  
My name is ShawnaLeigh!!!


I was lucky enough to with all the help and love here to encourage me in finding a female name.  
Some knew my struggle.  
I woke today to find my friend Bicky has changed it here for me. To see it as a name that is me.  Displayed near my picture is amazing!
I did not expect the feelings I am experiencing right now.  Like another major step closer to being ME.  
Yes.  I cried.  Lol

Good tears this time.  Not from fear or pain or shame. From finding a small piece of her on the outside.  I’m weird I know.  
I like good tears.  It’s a nice change!

Thank you all for being suck a great group of strangers I now consider to be My true family.  
All the Ladies and Gentlemen I’m an getting to know fills my heart with hope.

I know to some this may sound silly.  I feel like I found a small hidden piece of myself that I had dug out of the attic that I had not known about.  Something that truly speaks to me.

I truly had no intentions of changing a thing a week or so ago.

I have said my new name like 1000 times over and over this weekend in my head and some out loud to just hear it.

I kind of feel silly like I said, but I am amazed how I feel about this.

Thank you for your reply!

Thank you for posting ShawnaLeigh.  I remember the joy of seeing and using my name.  It took time until my head turned around quickly when i heard it but that has come as well.  It is an amazingly liberating experience.

 

Hugs,

Hearing your name is a powerful validation of self.  It may take a while for it to sink in and become natural but it will come.  Very nice Shawna!

Hi ShawnaLeigh,

 

Congrat's! I remember the first time I saw my name refering to me. It's special, and I'm sure you'll never forget it.

 

Lots of love, 

Timber Wolf ?

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      *older, not holder, oops :P
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No problem!

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"
    • Carolyn Marie
      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      I think I lost a friend :(
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I will have arrived when I have a b*tch certificate of my own.  I think someone called me one once.
    • Mmindy
      That’s fantastic Lorelei. I’m so happy for you.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
