My voice

I'm working on my voice since October last year most every day. I used some of the techniques that were given by Andrea James on her voice course. I tried to removed the resonance and raised the pitch. Like so many people said to me, don't expect any significant changes soon, you'll have to work on your voice. When I listen back to some recordings I made in October and compare them to my voice today. I hear a great improvement. So what did I do? Well, I had continued to used the techniques and worked/trained every false note that was in my voice.
As a result of the hard training, someone called my 'miss' on the phone last week. Finally I don't have to feel awkward any more when I have to speak while I'm in female mode.

Trapped in a man's body?

My therapist asked me if I feel 'trapped in a man's body'. The answer is no. I never felt it that way. I feel like I am socially raped. I am being forced to perform acts I don't want to.

Be yourself

It is commonly said: "Be yourself". And everyone agrees with that. But why do your loved ones don't want you to show your true being?

Gender clinic (follow up)

Finally after months and months waiting, I finally got a call from the Gender clinic. I have an appointment next week for an intake. After the call I was smiling from ear to ear and I couldn't get my face back to a relax state. The exact opposite of a poker face. Geez, I'm so happy.

Lunch

My wife quitte her job. She will be at home 24x7. This is the last time I can have my lunch at home while looking like this. :-(

Work

I am happy I quitted my job 5 months ago and started my own company. The best decision in ages. I finally found my dignity back. Freedom at last. I was sick of the bullying, the humiliation, the endless criticism and the gossips. I gave 4 hard years for innovation, but they rather stick to their old way of working. In the last months of being there, I was dead and completely lived out.
But now am I back working on my career. I work with talented people, I get paid much more and I have more days off.
