CROSS POSTED IN PERSONAL JOURNAL

[perttu-kitty.livejournal.com]

Well i figure it's about time i did an acutal update on everything since i pretty much never do. Well to start i've noticed that it is getting harder and harder for me to pass as just a guy when i wear my normal jeans and a sweater. And when i put on something cute it's even harder. Although if someone stops and looks they can still see obvious things, such as facial hair shaddow (which i'm going to be taking care of this month because i'm going to schedual a couple of laser hair removal sessions), a male voice (another thing i will be working on this month and hopefully have a passable voice buy january *crosses fingers*) and my chin which i can tell will be my hardest feture to hide. >.< Well enough of the negatives i have notices several wonderful changes from the HRT. the firt and most obvious (to me anyways) is that my breasts are at a small A now which is very cool because it's only been 2 months which means i still should have a good amount of growing to do (Around a 34B would perfect), also it's offical my six pack abs are completely gone now, my skin is also clearing up dramatically with almost everyone noticing, My face is now a little rounder and more feminine, and i also no longer look quite as anerexic as i used to (granted this might now be from the hormones, this might be from Jen making me eat more :-p). So all and all the HRT is doing wonders for my although at the rate of change i'm not quite sure i'm going to do to try and hide al the changes during the Christmas parties because i already had to do the sports bra thing for Thanksgiving and with my breasts being sore from growing it wasn't ver comfortable.

Enough about the HRT... oh, i forgot, It's amazing what a new top can do to one's self asteam. Seriously i put the top on and looking in the wirror and for the first time ever in my life i thought i was cute!! =^_^=

Any ways back on track. if there is one. I've noticed my mom is becoming a lot more open to the fact tat i am Transgender which is great. She's not even bringing up the fact that i'm not going through a doctor a lot less. I think she is seeing how happy this is making me and she's definatally noticed how much kinder i have become. My dad on the other hand, i ca not read very well at all. I'm starting to think he's not to thrilled with it but efore i jumpt to any conclusions i think i'm going to talk to my mom about him. It just seems like whenever i come down starts in my Camisole he leaves the room and or doesn't talk a lot to me, now i don't know if it's a coinsidence ore what. Anyways i still need to sit down and talk with my mom anyways because i have a lot to talk about, there's thewhole fact about getting an endocronologist, changing my name to Lilly which i don't know how well will go over), starting laser hair removal, practicing my voice, going full time eventually and my dad's reaction to all of it.

Lets see what else has been going on... Oh yah i have been laying some pretty heavey seeds to some of my relitives about being transgender. which will make it a lot easier and a lot less of a surprise when i come out to them.

And the biggest news of all. Sakura-chan took me on my very first trip to Victoria Secret's yesterday and helped me pick out a bra and some cute underwear. It was great she led me around like i was her younger sister who just started pubrty explaining where everything was. I ended up getting a black Ipex bra, some cute but cut blue undies and a pair of grey shorts. And after putting on the bra i know why they are so expencive, they are soooo comfortable which is great but it sucks at the same time because now all i'll want to buy is Victoria Secrets. Yay for expencive habits!

( WARNING TO MUCH INFORMATION BEYOND THIS CUT!!! )

Well that's about it i think, nothing else of any huge significance to report. well oter than i am currently downloading all the eisodes og Star Trek Voyager and The Pretender off bittorent because i can. I just remembered i finally started cleaning my room and i'm acutally getting close to making it a lot less cluttered, all i have left to remove is a mini fridge and huge collection of popular Science and Machanics magizines.

Love,

Hello

[lachesismoirae.livejournal.com]

I'm new to this community, so I thought I'd post and introduce myself. You can call me Alison. I guess I've known that I'm transsexual for a long time, really I've wanted to be a woman as far back as I can remember. Now I'm 27 and I'm finding it more and more difficult to ignore the issue. Over the past few months, I've begun counseling with a therapist who specializes in this sort of thing. Frankly though, I find the entire concept of transitioning very daunting. Yet I find myself taking one step after another in that direction. Still, I have a lot of doubts about the whole thing.

Anyway, I'm writing here seeking some advice and fellowship. From what I've read, it looks like a very friendly community. Right now, I'm trying to develop some sort of coherent plan for transitioning so I'm not stumbling around blindly. I am a lawyer, so I'm worried about irrepairably damaging my career. I'd love to chat more if anyone is interested.
