It's official...

[StacyTG]

Thank you for the well wishes everyone. I'm patiently awaiting my therapy to begin. I'm on a waiting list, so it could still be a few weeks.

In the interim, I have begun writing everything in a personal journal. I've filled up over 50 pages in a little under two weeks. I never realized how much I had to say.

Love to all of you,

Stacy

Tomorrow's the big day! Scared, but excited to get started. I gave my therapist my journal/diary. I figured that if she reads some of it, she can get a better understanding of exactly who I am.

You're the greatest inspiration to me, sticky.

I went plain. Wore my brown shorts (womens cut, so they're above the knee!) and my gray sweatshirt (hey it was cold this morning).

I also wore these:

They're really cute and I picked them up on sale.

The meeting went really well. My therapist is very nice, and totally understanding. She assured me that this is a safe place, where I am free to be myself completely in mind, body, and spirit. She even encouraged me to dress in a manner that expresses my feminine side. Which was really nice because I'd love to present a bit more than I do. Just wish I was passable. She asked what I wanted out of therapy, and any questions I had.

It was just really, really nice to open up to someone and express so much of what I've been feeling (and bottling up) for most of my life.

Thank you, everyone for the support. It means so much more than I can say.

Hi Stacy.

Glad to hear everything went well. I'm very happy for you. I'm also very happy that you were able to.open up and express your feelings. *hugs* I love the shoes, too!

Thanks! I couldn't pass them up! I love how they're what I like to call "deliciously androgynous"! Meaning that either a woman or man can rock them out!

They look really cute with my blue jean shorts, too!

We're overdue an update please

 

[Stacy_TG]

We're overdue an update please

I'm sorry I've been away. I needed a break from Lit for my own sanity. As much as I do love it here, and I've made many wonderful friends, I felt like I wasn't taking care of myself in real life, and I decided that the only way to really do that (and discover more about myself and my journey), was by completely breaking away from Lit for a while.

That being said, I want to personally thank everyone for their well wishes. I know we've never met in real life, but I feel a very close kinship with many of you, and for that I am so eternally grateful that I cannot even begin to express my gratitude. Each of you has in your own ways made me feel like a lover, a friend, and most importantly, a woman.

So, now onto the update.

First of all, yes, it's really me. I don't have access to my old account because I actually can't remember the password for it, and the e-mail originally associated with that account was deleted a long, long time ago. I tried to request it, but to no avail. Rather than jumping through a bunch of hoops, I figured I'd just create a new account.

I'm not going to therapy anymore. Sadly, not enough time. I can still meet with her if I want to, but she feels at this point I need to really get out in the real world and find myself. Really find myself. I'm waiting to hear when these weekly meetings are scheduled, and I'm looking forward to going. Maybe I'll even meet someone! Who knows?

I'm not really "transitioning" any more physically, and I'm not sure that I want to. I haven't figured that out yet. These things take time, I suppose. In a perfect world, I'd wake up tomorrow with two X chromosomes, but that's not how the world works, is it? And we all can't be Caitlyn Jenner, can we? I don't have the money or resources to transition to that level. Believe me, I wish I did. So, I do the best I can. Really starting to present to society in a way that reflects my true gender. I'm getting a bit bold, too. Check this out.

So, I wanted to treat myself the other day, and I haven't bought myself a new pair of heels in a long time, so I went to the store and I got these:

http://demandware.edgesuite.net/sits_pod15/dw/image/v2/AAPR_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-payless-catalog/default/dwc7b4614d/images/hi-res/155522_6_1400x1400.jpg?sw=556

So, normally, what's so big about buying shoes. You have to understand. I went to the store to get them. I found my size, and I tried them on right there in the store! In front of people! You want to talk about liberating and empowering?!? Try being transgender and having enough confidence to go to a shoe store and try on heels and walk around the store in them!

The fit wonderfully, too, and they look so cute on my feet!

Then I thought "You know what, every woman needs a purse, and damnit, it's time I got myself one, so I picked this up, too!

http://demandware.edgesuite.net/sits_pod15/dw/image/v2/AAPR_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-payless-catalog/default/dw79947051/images/hi-res/154829_4_1400x1400.jpg?sw=556

Yes, I know it doesn't go with the shoes, but I'm not trying to match them together. The shoes are for "special occasions" if you know what I mean.

The purse though, that was classic. I'm at the register, and the woman at the counter is ringing me up, and she goes to put the purse in a plastic bag, and I said "Actually, I don't need a bag. Do you have scissors?" I then proceeded to take all the tags off the purse, throw my keys, wallet, and cell in there, flung it over my shoulder and strutted out of that store with my new heels! I've never felt more alive!

I've been carrying the purse around every day now for almost a week, and not one person has said anything to me about it, which is great, because it's what I call "deliciously androgynous" meaning that I can exude a bit of femininity while not appearing just flat out Elton John flamboyant!

So, that's my update. Sorry for it being so long-winded. Guess I had more to say than I thought I did. I also bought myself something else very special, but I'll save that story for another update.

I love all of you so much more than you know.

Stacy
