Hi Erica Ann,

I can imagine, at least a bit, what an exciting time you had right in the middle of the parade with so many people around you. What a fantastic reception you received. I'm glad for you. You've had quite a journey since your first post on this thread and it keeps getting better just as it should. Your surgery is practically just around the corner, now, and I can imagine your excitement building over that big event, too.

I really enjoyed reading about your experience in the Gay Pride Parade. I know if I had even one guy whistling at me and saying sexing things I would be in heaven. What an affirmation to have that repeated many times. Good for you! I wish I had been there to watch.

Hugs,

Danya

All I can say is WOW! Can it get any better?

Best to you for the big day.

I have wished for that for years but it will never be possible for me. My wife would never agree. I can't even hope to be able to loose my cock and balls unless it becomes medically necessary. Doesn't make sense that she would care whether I have a cock or not since she rarely wants sex.

Erica Ann

You're looking great and doing great. Congrats on all the attention in the parade. Can you post a link to the picture you mentioned? You look great in the avitar but it is soo SMALL.

Hi Erica Ann. I just finished reading your hole thread. I am new here. I want to tell you how much I admire you and your strength to transition into womanhood. God you've got it all going for you except your famliy. Well I would love to tell them that they have now idea what they are missing in you. I am so glad that most things are going so well for you. Also I am so glad that you can wright so well and put it all in words for us little folk to follow along with you on your journey. Thank you so much, and I wish you nothing but happiness going forward. Paula

P.S. I am also so jealous cuz I would love to have your tit's C cup perfect!!

Hi Everyone,

Well, I'm now down to 7 weeks and 4 days to my GRS procedure, but whose counting.

I've had my HIV test, which came back negative (no surprise) and have my EKG test scheduled for tomorrow morning. Both of these tests are required by Dr. Bowers prior to surgery.

I did receive my information package from her offices late last week and my pre-surgery conference is scheduled with her for 9 AM on Thursday, September 18th. She included a list of things to bring along, which includes maxi pads (never had the need for them and have never worn one, but there's a first time for everything) She also suggests a small hand mirror for dilating purposes until you get accustomed to where everything is at between your legs. Kinda exciting, if you know what I mean?

The airline tickets have been purchased and the rental car is reserved. Motels reservations have been made and I have notified my employer of my medical leave of absence.

Some of my friends have asked if I'm nervous. No, I'm not nervous, just getting real excited. The conclusion of a half a century dream is coming close to becoming reality!

Great news I know how nervous and excited you are I am so happy for you

I hope everything continues to go smoothly for you good luck

That is so wonderful Erica. I am very happy and excited for you, and I know Christina would be also. That is 11 days before Christina's birthday. I know she is somewhere smiling and cheering you on. Sorry I haven't been around much, but i'm still reading as I can. Look forward to seeing you one day again.

love and hugs, Lilac

Who is counting? You are and we are all waiting with you. --FLO--

Hi Everyone,

This past Wednesday was the one year anniversary of me going full time in living my life, 24/7, as me. It was an uneventful passing but gave me pause on how good my life has been over the past 12 months.

First, it doesn't seem like a full year, maybe 6 months at the most. I guess it goes along with the old saying "time flies when you're having fun" and it has been a lot of fun, that's for sure.

I've made some many new friends through my transition as well as losing a few along the line, but the gain more than compensates for the loss.

There has been some good things happening on the family front. Two weeks ago we had a small party at our home for my spouse's family. Several of her sisters as well as her mother and one of her brothers and his spouse were in attendance. There was some really good conversations and a lot of intelligent questions asked. It was so nice to finally meet them as my real self. I received a good reception from everyone and I felt it went real well. Finally, some acceptance by family.

On another good note, I'm only five weeks away from my date with the surgeon for GRS. As the date gets closer, it's getting harder to contain my excitement. My spouse is having a "going away party", if you know what I mean on Tuesday night, September 16th. If anyone's in the area, let me know, you're more than welcome to attend.

Ok, my hairs stuck up a bit when I read "going away party" Ouch!

Anyway soon the incorrect bits will be in the medical waste and you will be happily zoned out on the really good drugs! Wooo Wooo!

Then you will have to turn in your TS card for a F card and life will be ubber good!
