That feeling when the USAA rep calls you “sir” every other word while still struggling to fix your messed up insurance card. Even if I wasn’t trans, it would not be necessary to call anyone sir that frequently. 😞
I’m finally out at work completely, my name change paperwork is ready to submit, and I’ve got all my letters for my surgeries. All we need to do now is win this November and this year might actually be redeemable.
So, basically, what happened was I am going to have to go to Pennsylvania for three days in mid March for training with my company. They just informed me that I’m going to have to share my hotel room with a guy. Needless to say, I am 2 1/2 years into transition and the anatomical changes are Not easily hidden anymore. In other words, there was no way I was going to room with a strange guy when I am a trans woman.
So I just got forced to come out to the rest of my company today. I was out to my supervisor, but now my manager, and the regional supervisor all know I’m trans. I’m shocked that they are all so supportive! So rare to have a company claim to be inclusive/supportive, and actually find they mean it!
My wife snagged some pictures of me in my Christmas Outfit. For once I don’t 100% hate it.
I wanted to share a timeline. I don’t do this often. The left is 2013 and the right is Jan 2023. They are both low quality cameras but you get the idea.
I may not always pass as well as I would like at my 2 year HRT mark, but at least no one believes me when I tell them I just turned 40 years old lol!
I am at a small town celebration in a village where I grew up, and everyone knew me but no one knows I’m transitioning, it’s a very conservative place, and I am quite terrified. Wish me luck for an uneventful parade.
I’m feeling like working on myself for the first time in years. I’m exercising, I’m eating right, I’m paying attention to how I look before I walk out of the house. (I don’t think I look almost 40 lol) I’ve grown so much and I finally feel like myself. Transition really does save lives. Now I just need to stop telling myself that I’m not worthy of good things in life. Little steps!
So I got misgendered again today! 😭 I didn’t think I looked that bad, how do I look like a “Sir”?
