5 years since I came out. This day was the start of freedom that I found unlike anything I knew. I had no clue what was to come, but I am so glad I took the leap. I hope everyone finds that freedom for themselves! Remember believe you can, so you will. Love yourself and you can do this. #iamtransgender #proudofmyself #loveyourself #thisiswhattranslookslike #comingoutday (at Veterans Memorial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTIL0q8LY_Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

2 years ago today, I came out to the world. I finally was not hiding anymore! When I sat and took the pictures in 2016 I was excited and so nervous. I posted the pictures and came out on FB and shut my phone off for a while. I could not have dreamed that 2 years later I would be where I am. I am beyond blessed with people in my life. I have been blessed to get the surgeries to correct the birth defects. But truly the biggest part is my happiness. I still have more I want to do and accomplish. New dreams are being formed. Here’s to looking forward. Grime the deepest parts of my heart 💜 THANK YOU 💚 to all that are in my life!!🦋 #iamtransgender #proudofmyself #happy #liveauthentic #thankful #liveeachday (at West Jordan Veterans Memorial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCiP9Gnvng/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1axf2gnxhla5e

We all desire and need love in our lives. The question is are you allowing others to love you? Are you loving yourself? Have a beautiful day #transweek #thisiswhattranslookslike #iamtransgender (at Utah)

Bailey/HRT update: 8/11/2015

The good news: I'm super healthy and my doctor is writing my letter of recommendation as I type this. She says that since I am not cigarette free a start goal date for estrogen is December😄 Happy Birthday🎂 and Merry Christmas🎄to me❤ The upsetting news: I present as Bailey at my Dr. Appointment. My Dr. Says her #1 goal is to support my transition and make it possible. She uses she/her pronouns even though I didn't request it, and even writes Bailey on my appointment cards. It's all good. Despite that, the guy at the check-in desk misgendered me twice, called me by my family name twice, and then wrote the formal version of my family name (Which no one except my dead grandmother was ever allowed to call me) on my appointment card, even tHough my Dr. had written Bailey in big letters at the top of my discharge sheet and my chart clearly shows my preferred name. ( I'm even listed as Transgender in the intake notes on my chart) So now despite all the good news, I get to stare at the wrong name on a card for the next 6 weeks. Does this person know the kind of mind fuck the wrong name can cause someone with gender dysphoria?
