    A Milestone Reached.

    Today at work, I had something happened that amazed me. When I'm working I'm constantly interacting with the public. Do to the nature of my work I'm not always dealing with the best people that you can run into, in fact most of the time I have to deal with the exact opposite. Today was no exception and one of the individuals that I had to deal with decide to have an attitude and started mouthing off. He was not happy and some of the things that came out of his mouth were "You make an ugly woman" and "You should do yourself a favor and just change back into a man". After he decide to see things my way and left on his own before he would have been escorted away, I had time to think. In the past comments like he made would upset me and cause me to feel bad, but today something different happened. I realized that his comments didn't bother me, and I really didn't care what he thought. If he wanted to live his life hating and trying to put others down that was his problem, not mine. I didn't decide to transition to be beautiful, or to get other peoples approval, I did it for me and
    I am happy being me and living how I wanted. I feel closer to my goal now than ever before.

    Congratulations. It takes a real professional to handle something like that without taking it personally. Well done.

    Awesome! You now have the power. I recall the first time someone said something nasty to me and I just shook my head and moved on. I actually kind of pitied him. And later I realized if that had happened even a month before I'd have been devastated. Then I knew the power had shifted from them to me and they weren't going to get it back ever again. I spent the rest of the day humming, "Nobody gonna break-a my stride..." Congratulations!

    I am a transgender person. And I'm still figuring out what that means.

    Sorry this happened to you, jerks are everywhere. Unfortunately trans folks are easy targets, you sound like you handled it
    well. I fear that kind of situation as I continue on my path and not sure I would handle as well as you
    Keep going Paula your beautiful

    I used to believe this, now I'm in the company of many tiggers. A tigger does not wonder why she is a tigger, she just is a tigger.

    thanks to krististeph: tigger = TG'er .. T-I-GG-er
