Taught Google Assistant how to pronounce my new name correctly! (It defaulted to "care-uh" but I'm a "car-uh" gal).

Remember that Norwegian pattern book I was so excited about ordering a few weeks ago? I was excited because I realized now I can knit myself SKIRTS

Ran into a former student who had just dropped by the school:
Her: BEN!! How are you?
Me: I'm great! Except, itâs actually Kara now! *points to name/pronoun pin*
Her: That's fantastic! I'm so excited for you.
Then she asked her kid to say "hi to Kara."
And THAT'S how it's done.
Her: BEN!! How are you?

My first-ever dress arrived today!! I bought it from @eShakti. I tried it on and I am OBSESSED. 
Size/style customization made it exactly what I expected. All I need are shoes and I can wear it to work. So excited.

I decided I need to try carrying a medium handbag, and as luck would have it, this Doctor Whoâthemed one was available from local crafter @madeby_meag! It doesn't get any better than this.

Happy International Day of Pink!!
A colleague texted me this tonight. Made my night. My coworkers have been A+ supportive and affirming in my transition.
I could not ask for better people around me as I explore my new self.

ICYMI (and so I can add it to this thread), last weekâs blog post about how the current situation is affecting my transition and thoughts on my gender: https://tachyondecay.net/blog/2020/04/collapsing-the-gender-wave-function/
New blog post: I decided the best way to address @Petsmartâs thoughtless government-ID requirement was to blog about how they, you, and everyone else can do better at being trans-inclusive! https://tachyondecay.net/blog/2020/04/being-trans-inclusive-takes-work/ https://twitter.com/tachyondecay/status/1252346466443485185?s=20
