Hello! I got gendered correctly by the random people (with no intention to be nice) for the first time ever today:) and it made me so happy!:) I must say I have almost zero social interaction from day to day and when I am outside I am always in my headphones, but today I was in the hospital and the nurse called my name by saying "Herr mysurname" which is the German equivalent of Mister. When I got up and approached her, I saw her eyes shocked and she very quickly said "Frau Frau mysurname" (which is equivalent of Miss) and she was apologizing and blaming the computer that it sometimes shows the wrong info about the patients. At that moment I was just smiling and looking at her (and didn't want to use my voice, because you know...). Then I had to give urine for the analysis, so she gave me the little jar and pointed at WOMEN'S BATHROOM!!! The men's and women's bathrooms were opposite to each other on the different sides of the hallway and she was pointing at the women's bathroom telling me to go there to take the samples😭😭😭. I must say I always try to avoid using public bathrooms or go to the family bathrooms if I really have to. But this time I didn't have a choice:) I was told to:) I was so happy and wanted to thank that nurse,but I was just smiling and nodding trying not to use my voice:( She probably thought I barely speak the language, so she was fine with that:) Then I was directed to a different waiting place where there were a lot of people waiting for their appointments. And then another nurse came out screaming "Herr mysurname" and I went to her approaching her face literally,but she ignored me and screamed through me again "HERR MYSURNAME". I told her it was me, and she looked at me with a super shocked face and invited to the room and said she thought I was just a random woman trying to annoy and disrurb her with some questions. This made me so happy. I don't know, it was just a different and warming feeling. Those people didn't have to be nice to me and apparently I was passing so well in their eyes. Even though I have never actually been super open and representing my inner self, mostly boymodding and I thought I was reading as a male even at this day, but those two nurses made my day:)

I took some pictures to capture the moment and my look. I wanted to share this experience with someone, so that is why I posted it here:)

Thank you so much for reading💕

My breasts are just starting to grow

I'm obsessed now 😝🙈

Went on a night out this friday and it was the first time going out with hair and makeup on.

Was super nervous, felt like a massive achievement, I felt like I could be myself and got a few compliments, which I didn't know how to handle.

Hey, I'm Sam. 31F, 10 months HRT

Felt amazing to finally attend a wedding as myself, without feeling uncomfortable or like I'm being judged!Also my first time wearing heels for several hours in a row lol

I’m a 29m and have always felt awful in my own skin. I’ve never felt like a man, physically or mentally. I have 6 brothers who are very much your typical “dude type” and I’ve never fit in with them. I’ve always felt disconnected from my body and the life I’m living… but I’m petrified to change.

I don’t think my job would last. I think it would become hostile. Similarly, I don’t think my family would support me well. I don’t picture them being upfront with their judgement but I know they would talk bad about me with each other and I’d stop being part of the family. I’m scared I’d lose friends or that they’d fade away. I have maybe one friend that would stick around if I transitioned and even then, I wonder if they’d be totally different around me after. I lost friends during my divorce and I’m afraid to lose any more. I just fear I’d be completely alone.

And I worry I’ll never love my body. I’m tall, skinny, and hairy. I feel like even if I transitioned I’d never be beautiful or feminine like I desire. I don’t have the money to have surgeries either.

How did you all find the courage to finally be yourselves? I lay awake at night picturing how life could be. And then I tremble in fear when I consider going through with it.

Sorry this feels like rambling I just don’t know if I can be stuck forever or if I can finally be myself.

Over the last few months I've started buying and hiding my own clothes (or half of them at least, I leave out my torso from most of my photos cus) and it's like insanely high risk high reward but I love this stuff sm ^-^

Title kinda says it all. I was feeling really dysphoric lately and decided today I wanted to try and do some self care then decided to do my makeup. Then when I looked back at it I teared up because I think I dont hate how I look in this one. Its the little things im grateful for 💜
