I was looking at old thread thinking I might use it for something I want to talk about now. One I created back in July. I expected to see my old Woori Mei name, well to my surprise it was Sandi Mae instead. I thought I'd been around here for longer before I did that.
To make the timeline clearer I've made a summary of all the headline events. I think I've covered all the major milestones
16 Jun - Joined. Essentially saying "I am a cis man that likes the idea of wearing women's clothes" and believing it too. Yes really.
22 Jun - Wore dresses for the first time. Head exploded in a state of euphoria. Those stockings and my thighs ...
12 Jul - Announced my new name. One I chose knowing it would likely end up being my real name, not just another disposable username
30 Jul - Confidently announce that I am a trans woman. That's just 44 days after joinng, less than 1.5 months
19 Aug - Discover I have deep maternal desires. "Help! I thought I was a man just 2 months ago"
28 Sep - Announce that I want to transition. Just under two months after saying I am a woman. "I'm 52! There's no time to waste!"
4 Nov - Come out to my friend. What seemed to take forever was just over 3 months after realising and accepting who I really was. Also I would've done it sooner, if not for some complications
In those first few months I was travelling so fast. This wasn't a journey full of trepidation, but one of the joy and thrill of discovery. I was having the trip of a lifetime, loving all that I found. I crashed a bit with the motherhood part, but even then embraced the joy in that as well.
I look back and think I probably went too fast, but there was simply no reason to slow down at the time. My brain just couldn't stop processing everything. These "Eureka!" moments just kept happening, sometimes popping in my head seemingly from nowhere. The pace I went just occurred naturally.
I loved having you all here to share it with. The journey would have been a lot slower and more difficult without all the feedback I received. I'm on another journey now of course, happy that you're still here travelling with me.
xox,
Sandi
