"We are One"
A look back and how I've bocome more and more Julia
It was in the beginning of July 2009, when I've decided to epilicing my legs and arms to feel more comfortable as first step and today ... its just a normal thing I do all 2 months, especially with the growing happiness to see that after every epilicing less hairs are coming back ... :-)
2 years ago I've also begun to wear my own clothes/dresses, in the beginning just in the evening at home ... today - as I stll and unfortunately haven't dared my outing - I wear my skirts, dresses, tops, leggings, bras, underwear, shirts and all usual female clothes at each time I'm at home, at night some cute nighties, and especially also all over the day at days I'm at home or in my holidays in our family-cabin. Seeing me in the mirror with my new female figure (thanks to hormones I take from time to time) is always the greatest success yet for me on my way ... In June 2011 i've even made my first "alltime-Julia-holidays" there in the cabin and one of my wonderful new experiences was that I've used a sunny and warm afternoon for a tour to a river in the bavarian mountains with lots of nice little places with a "beach" for a sunbath and a swim, where I wore the first time in the public my neckholder-swimsuit. I'd have liked to call loud "Yes, I did it", but think it was better not to do so ... lol!!
About 1 year ago I've started to pierce my ears, but always lost some blood on the wrong "places" on my ears and the holes closed again after some time ... today I'm wearing every day in parts all over the day at home or from the evening to the morning earrings in different styles and can do this since May 2011 as I found the "right place" for the holes. To feel my earrings hanging on my ears - if moving or not - is another wonderful new experience for me. And I like to combine my earrings with necklaces and other rings for my hand. Altogether I've found my own style for my life as Julia.
So far my good news ... Most "headaches" seeing how wonderful and happy I'm becoming with being and becoming more and more myself is for me, how to tell it to my family that they anytime will have 2 daughters and no longer one daugther and two sons ... Also with the background of my free job as journalist for a local newspaper, as active member in some local societies (volunteer fire brigade, historical society, sports club) and with my activities in the local politics the "outing" will be a public topic connecting also my family as we live in the country in a little town ... I don't how to handle this, but otherwise with every day I can be myself even for an evening with night till next morning I get more selfconfident also for the day when I'll have to start my public life as Julia after my outing and before I can do any surgeries here Germany.
I wish all of my PE-sisters here a wonderful summer 2011 and hope you can all enjoy this time as yourself! Love & many hugs from Bavaria to you in the wide world!
Yours
Julia

Julia is making progress - yay! Keep up what you are doing, your progress may seem slow, but progress is the key. Little steps add up - like the tortoise and the hare. - Hugs

Dear Nicole,
thanks so much for your kind comment! Be sure I'll keep up with my little steps as I also often with my usual work can't hope for a quick progress or success, but often see after a certain time that my work though had progress as a result. My love & many hugs also to you!

One of the great things about living in Germany is the direct flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok, where the best Surgeons in the world can be found.
You've done marvelously well over the last year Julia and as you feel your confidence grow, let's hope you can find some people to share this new you with.
This is one of the keys to successful transition, your support network.
We, none of us, can do this alone.
Perhaps finding a group from a nearby City, where you are not known and where you can develop into your new persona is the answer.
I wish you luck and happiness in your journey

Dear Rachel, thanks so much for your kind and supporting words! Its so great to know you and the others here on PE and to have you yet as my worldwide family understanding me ... As soon as I'll have a plan to start my life in the public I'll also look for a TG-group as I know that there's in Nürnberg/Nuremberg an organisation for TG, homosexual and lesbian people. Its not far to Nuremberg and I've once found a monthly program with a tg-meeting once a month. I wish you just the best with love & many hugs!

Dear Teagan,
thanks so much for your kind comment! And you're right, with the time I've anyway figured out how to handle my changes and growing selfconfidence although I've usually noticed it yet after a certain time. But thats always a great reason for me to think positive and to think about my next steps ... Love & many hugs to you!
