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. <p>

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.
