....everything is going smoothly with my life....thank god.....cuz for people who know me......i get highly aggravated when things dont go my way or as i planned!...lol.....name changes are almost complete....changing your name is a HUGE chore!....bill companies are so different.....some will change your name over the phone, some want a fax of your legal documents and some want you to come into the office to show proof.....crazy!.......and most assume you got your name change because you got married!!......why.....lol...cuz people dont know any better....people are not familiar with changing your name due to gender.....and thats what i have been telling them....work is a little different...i have to change my work email address and my user accounts on applications that i use daily....again, today it was assumed i got married......i told them no i didnt get married...its just a name change.....i have only told my direct co-workers why i changed my name.....the 2 people that i work with on a day-to-day basis...the 2 people that know my gf's name.......the 2 people that matter......while i would love to tell the entire company that i have come out as a transman, would that hurt me in the long run?...this is one of the downfalls of working for corporations--eventually i will have my own business---...i dont want to get fired from my job for coming out....but i dont want to hide who i am either.....im proud....and i will never deny...and i will always tell the truth when asked....i believe thats very important to our self worth and individuality.......so...what is the job etiquette for a transman?.....maybe its still new to the general population of the world.....i see more and more individuals coming out as trans...---they are a lot younger than me...lol.....but damnit!!...im a late bloomer....always have and always will be---.....but how to handle it in the work place or how to handle it on a day to day normal living.....still needs more awareness.....its coming.....its like when the word "gay" first came out.........thats crazy to think i lived through that generation!.....now here i am!.......and i have never been happier in my whole life!!!!!!!!....

unfortunately.....the business will need to be put on hold for about a month......not happy about it...but....its for a good thing....we are moving out of this beautiful townhome we have been living in for about a yr and a half......living in a very nice place in a very hoytie area is not all its cracked up to be.....the rent is way too high here.....im tired of not having any money to spend on toys!........i have planned out expenses for the next couple of years and i want to make it reality.....for my transition and for the business.....for once in my life i see my path.....i have been able to see it since march of this yr.....since i realized i was an ftm.....i have been focused.....and i want to stay that way......i see the path so clearly....and its such a good feeling to have.....to know where im going.......and i refuse to lose it...i refuse to steer off the road....at any cost.....and i wont.....period!.......so...we are moving to a central location....cheaper rent.....way cheaper!......i feel its a very smart move.....by then i will be on t and seriously getting reelvisionstudios off the ground!.....god!.....this journey is so wonderful and i look forward to whats about to happen!!!.....

Private Dicks - Men Exposed

we watched this the other night......and i absolutely loved it!.....of course, right?!........but it was very interesting......and they had an ftm and mtf on there, which was so awesome!...but it gives you a whole different perspective on the "male" species in general....testosterone is a very powerful hormone that guys have, of course......its not their fault.....men in general are not disgusting pigs and a sex machine that society has led us to believe while we were growing up.....they are human beings in the same class as women.......the only difference between men and women is the hormones.....we all have a heart and we all desire love...period.....and....who the fuck cares what gender we are anyway right?!....i just wish i didnt have to alter my body to match my brain.....but its all good!.........im priviledged and ecstatic that i even have the opportunity to do so!!.......

1 month to go for T!!!....wow...wow.......well....i finally did it yesterday......and told the guys at work.....i was so fucking nervous.......my voice was shaky....it was crazy...but, of course.....they accepted with no problems.....they appreciated me telling them.....whatever makes me happy makes them happy....pretty fucking cool guys......and they wont call me "chrissie" anymore!!!.......its a running joke in the office........i didnt mention the bathroom or calling me "he".....hopefully that part will just transition smoothly...not sure yet.....lol.....but im glad the "telling them" part is over.....i was starting to think about it alot......now i can move on......lol....went to the social administration office on monday to get a new social security card with my new name on it.......once i get that then i can send off to change my name on all the bills and stuff.....and register my business...reelvisionstudios.....yeah....... now i can definitely move forward because i changed my name!........i need to find a video camera.....i want to start filming myself.....and create documentaries.....and enter them into film festivals..........congrats to michael moore!!!.............he has come a long way...now he is here!!!!......he has been my inspiration......i should put up the pic i have of meeting him here in raleigh at the full frame festival!......that was so fabulous!!.....but, its nothing compared to what he is doing now...lol.........
