Time for a celebration. I went to court this month and got an order changing my name and gender marker! I am finally ME in the eyes of the law!

Hi everybody! Well, you saw the big news, I've changed my name here at Chix and I am in the process of changing my name legally as I transition. My new name is Claire Marie but I'm still the same sweet Texas T-girl you have come to know and love. :)
So much has been going on in my life I hardly know where to begin. I'm approaching one year on HRT and can now proudly go out in my own hair (and breasts, modestly covered of course). I've come out to my family and many of my friends. I'll be starting the process of transitioning at work in the next couple of months I hope.
I was in London in January and had a great time as always, then from there by train to Manchester to visit friends. As always I can hardly wait to get back. If you ever make it to Austin be sure to let me know and we will show you the sights!
xoxo
Claire

My goodness, how time flies! I just renewed my rose with Stella and realized I hadn't updated my profile since May and so much has happened. Aside from the weather (which is beastly hot here in Texas) all's well with me and I'm the happiest I've ever been!
I'll keep this short but I love to hear from all my friends and hopefully I'll be back in London in January!

5/5/13 ~ Here in Texas, and in much of the United States and Mexico, we are celebrating Cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May in Spanish). Cinco de Mayo was originally observed to celebrate the victory of Mexican troops over the French army at the battle of Pueblo on May 5, 1862, but in recent times it has become a celebration of Mexican Heritage and Pride here in the US.
On a personal note, Cinco de Mayo will henceforth have a new and very personal significance for me as it will mark the anniversary of the day I began HRT as a part of my transition. For those of you who know me, you know this is a big step for me and I'm not quite sure what to expect but if I seem a bit edgy or not like myself over the next couple of months it will hopefully pass.
xoxo

20/1/13 - Just got back home from London. What an amazing city to be a girl in. I managed to get out two nights during the week I was there and really enjoyed my visit. On Sunday I went to Lacy Ladies and received a great welcome from the staff who immediately put me at ease and showed me around. I loved that I could dress at the event and drop everything at the cloakroom. I've not seen anything like that in the states and it was brilliant. Thanks to all of the ladies who made the event so much fun. I had a great long conversation with HippyJessica, a really delightful young lady I met at the bar, and was so lucky to meet the fabulous PriyaLatex who took me under her wing and helped me find my way around the London scene.
On Wednesday, I made my way to Sweet Wednesday. The bar and the dressing room were really nice and the basement was .... well lets just say the basement was a real educational experience for this Texas girl...
After Sweet Wednesday I was headed across town to Trannyshack and was offered a lift by the delightful Brazina. So off we went teetering down the uneven side walk in my high heel boots. Saw Priya again at Trannyshack and had a great time dancing and meeting people. I can hardly wait to get back to the UK!
28/11/12 - Happy holidays! I'm so looking forward to celebrating my first Christmas as a woman! On Sunday I discovered two new things! First I still can't reach to put the angel on the top of the tree even in heels; and second, standing on a stool in high heels is very scary! :-)
But we got the tree decorated without any injuries and I'm making a very different kind of wish list this year for Santa starting with the sexy red pumps I've been wanting all year! There have been so many first's this year. First time out on my own, first time I can actually keep my clothes in my closet, first breasts, first permanent body modification (pierced ears and laser hair removal), first time to admit to other people that I am transgendered. This year has been a process of adaptation and growth for me as I spend more and more time as a woman and I don't think I've ever been happier.
Best wishes to all of you for a very Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year!
Peace, Love, Happiness,
Claire

8/7/12 - Hello all! I'm at a loss to know where to begin to tell you about all the wonderful changes in my world since my last update. I hadn't realized how melodramatic my last post was or I would have definitely updated sooner. I'm sorry for being such a drama queen but this was all very scary at the beginning.
So, at the top of the news things are going well here. My lovely wife and I are still together and we have actually grown closer in some ways since I came out to her. I now dress almost full time when I am home (with the exception of when we have house guests or when I work in the garden). I had no idea how fulfilling and addictive it would be to have the freedom to express my inner self more openly, and I am finding that I resent having my weekends interrupted by events that require me to wear male clothing. This has been the happiest time I can remember in years.
I've started lots of self improvement projects. I began going to a counselor through my health plan to talk about my gender issues shortly after my last update. The counselor is a very nice elderly woman who tells me she knows nothing about transgendered people, (I appreciate her honesty) so she hasn't been able help me much but it has at least gotten me to verbalize the feelings and ideas I've been carrying around in my head all these years. I think I have two more free sessions with her on my plan so I need to start looking for a counselor who knows significantly more about GID than I do. If anyone knows a good counselor in central Texas please let me know.
I guess it may be premature given the limited counseling I've had, but I have made some physical changes as well, starting with getting my ears pierced, dropping about 2 stone of excess weight I'd been carrying and starting permanent laser hair removal. The laser hair removal was the really big decision and the one I agonized over most since it is permanent. I've now had at least one treatment on every part of my body and have had really good results and will start the second round of treatments next week. I absolutely LOVE the way my skin feels now, smooth and silky with no stubble or little red bumps! Yea!
Right after I came out I went on a shopping binge, new dresses, skirts, shoes, breast forms, jewelry the whole works. I'm really happy with some of my new dresses and have some wonderful sweaters, boots and things to carry me into the fall. It occurred to me belatedly that I probably should have waited to do the shopping since losing all the weight some of my new things are already too large for me to wear. But I did need to round out my wardrobe and I've worn a number the outfits in pubic...
The latest news is that I have finally worked up the courage to start going out in public. I even spent 3 days as Audrey in Houston! It was brilliant to be able to just do normal things, shopping, getting my nails done, dining, all without having to explain myself or defend my choices. I can hardly wait to go back again, and I can't say enough about the wonderful people I met there.
Well that's my news for now, so until later, may you have
Peace, Love & Happiness
Claire Marie

1/3/12 - It seems I have become yet another cautionary tale in the ranks of "outed" t-girls. Yesterday morning I decided I had to have a little "me" time and that I would dress for just a little while between my wife leaving for work and when I had to leave for my job. I dutifully waited until I was alone before I took my things out of their hiding place to pick something out for the morning. Disaster struck when my wife discovered she had left her cell phone at the house and came back to get it. She walked in on me with a pile of women's clothes, makeup, shoes and accessories spread out all around me.
There was nothing I could do and so I finally came face to face with the worst fear of my life. I of course feared the worst but I can't begin to tell you how wonderful and supportive she was when we had "the Talk" She immediately got it that my need to dress is not something I chose but something that is hardwired into who I am. No tears, no recriminations, instead she was sympathetic and recognized how hard it would be to live with this kind of secret for a lifetime.
I think it will take some time to work out what this means for us but I can't get over how lucky I feel that she would accept me for what I am and forgive me for the lie I have lived.

23/6/11 - BIG NEWS! Claire made her very first public appearance last night in San Antonio, Texas! I have been terrified of going public for so long, and when the time finally came to step out of the door to go to the club the fear evaporated and I suddenly felt almost drunk with the sheer joy of it all. I owe so much to the wonderful SallyG who not only helped me find my way around to local TG friendly clubs, but also gave me incredibly great tips on makeup, fashion and even deportment in public, not to mention being a great best friend who reassured me, built my confidence and kept me out of trouble.
There were so many little things that I'd never considered when I imagined what it would be like to be in public. Things like what to do with my purse when I drive, or learning to get into a car and drive in a tight skirt and 3" wedge heels. If I'd been on my own I'd have no doubt panicked the first time I needed the necessary room, as I'd never thought to find out what bathroom to use in public. The night was full of new discoveries and I was so thrilled at each one of them that I couldn't stop smiling.
By the end of the evening I was tired, happy and felt like a new person. I was so emboldened by the success of the evening that instead of changing into drab for the trip back to my hotel, I walked into the lobby head held high, and smiling for the world to see.
My thanks to all the ladies who have shared their experiences on Chix for the benefit of those who come behind them. I finally understand the feelings you described and having tasted the exhilaration of just being myself. I will do it again.

Wow! Over 3000 hits on my profile! It's hard to believe that just over a year ago I'd never been seen by another human being dressed femme. Thanks to all of you for the kind words and generous ratings. Kisses!
Claire
