This would likely end any travel to Texas that wasn't a dire emergency. And even then, if I could work it remotely, I would.
I wasn't able to go out Thursday to celebrate my Twenty Fifth Tranniversary, so I did it tonight.
Happy 25th Jenn. Here's to 25 more in whatever country I end up by 2050.
Memorable Lines From The 25 Years Since I Transitioning:
"You dress like mom." "Of course I do. Have you SEEN how she dresses?!"
"But you were born a guy!" "Not on purpose."
"This is a three month supply of the testoserone blocking Spiranolactone. If my demands are not met, I will release it into the local water supply...."
Twenty Five Years Ago, about six months into living as a woman in Austin. I love that outfit.
Twenty Five years ago, on March 6th, 2000, I walked into my job at Kinko's and began living my life as a woman.
I wouldn't start hormones for about six more months. I had been living more as a woman than a man since 1997, been living occasionally as a woman since 1993, and cross dressing since the 80s.
I wish I could say things have gotten better since March 6th 2000, but it's not. But today, I will celebrate 9131 days of survival, and worry about surviving another day tomorrow.
