I had a fantastic weekend that set me up for some of the best experiences of my transition!
My spouse and I went to the shore for a day to do our annual "salt water reset". They like to dip toes into the ocean once a year to feel right again. This year, I felt the same feeling. We walked along the beach hand in hand and just enjoyed the day and gorgeous weather!
That evening, we meet good friends that we only see once a year. I had come out via messages earlier. My friend told me he practiced my new name before meeting us at dinner! We discussed how a colleague of our friend had asked for her help coming out as trans at work, and how genuinely supportive she was for this person. When I explained my reasoning for transitioning (involves bad ideation, not discussing here), my spouse said they saw one of my friends wiping away tears. I am so lucky and so happy to have wonderful people to call friends! I even managed to use the women's restroom on my own without freaking out or trying to hold it until hiring like I usually do.
Today, we went shopping and I spent almost two hours trying on outfits. My spouse took me into the ladies' fitting rooms and got one right next to me so we could chat about the clothes. I came out of that store with an entire winter-appropriate collection, which means I am good for all seasons and have finally emptied my closet of all the male clothing. It feels good to just be me, fully.
Trans joy is possible! I didn't think so 6 months ago, but I have a completely different outlook now 🏳️⚧️ 💖🌹
