Something to wear
October 31st, 2009 12:23 am MDT
I just had to do it. Feeling like i wanted to just go freestyle for the day, I went out shopping (in guy mode) wearing a 14 inch denim kilt, a pair of semi-opaque black pantyhose over my fishnets, while wearing my Miz Mooz 2 inch heel boots. It was cold and rainy out, so I had a plain jacket as well. I did some shopping, but bought nothing, then got my hair trimmed. My stylist loved the look. I might have to do it again this weekend.

Slowly making things happen. Making changes in my life, my appearance. I have been letting my hair grow out for the last few years. Even after having about 5 inches cut of earlier this year, it is still at my shoulders. I am continuing with my laser hair removal on my face. I can see major improvements, but still a few places where it needs a few more sessions. I have been dressing more androgynously over time. The only jeans I own came from the women's dept. Depending on where I am going, I wear heels often. I have been asked about them once, and just responded 'Because I can', and that was the end of it.<p>
I have been seeing the gender councillor at the local clinic. Slowly opening up to him about my past and my issues. If all goes well, I should be getting some hormones soon.

I am working on my makeup techniques. Still have along way to go, to make it look natural. Might have to take some lessons in person as opposed to the tutorials on YouTube.<p>
I took a quick trip to Vegas a few weeks ago, and wore my stilettos from home, to the flight, then all the way to Vegas. I had to change out of them once I landed, the friend I was staying with is a bit conservative. I wore them on the flight home, but took them off before leaving the airport.

Still searching for the answers. I guess it is a never ending quest. I feel that I want to change. I chatted with a friend in WA who is a Doctor in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has figured a herbal cocktail to help transitioning into the woman I feel that I am. We keep trying to get together so I can acquire some meds, but there always seems to be something in our way. One of these trips south, I will make it happen. In the mean time, I have started laser treatments to remove my facial hair. I don't grow alot, so it is not a major task, but do have enough so it has to be done. I shaved my legs for the first time this summer. I used to shave them as the temps warm up, but hadn't in the past few years. It is nice to feel the smooth skin. Note to self, get leg hairs lasered off soon.
Christmas 2007

Being out of work for a month has really sucked, especially leading into the Xmas season. On one hand being broke has kept me at home more, so in reality, out of trouble. But being at home has given me more time to think about my feelings, figure out how I fit into this gender spectrum. I chatted with a councilor last week. It was a good chat. It reaffirmed to me that I am not alone in my thoughts. There is a drop in support group that meets weekly, so I will try to make a few of those meetings in Jan. I think it will help clear things up as well. So where does this all lead? I am not sure. Some day I will find the answer I am looking for, but in the mean time, hopefully keep a smile on my face.
