"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She's doing well, though maybe a little frustrated that she has a difficult time passing as female because of her voice and appearance.

Is she going to pursue HRT? That'll have a big effect.

ION, today would be the first day of high school for Matilda. But she still doesn't have a school assignment. So we are in limbo waiting for a spot to open in one of the four high schools we'd be willing to go into. She's in a Wait Pool for one school, and we're talking to a counselor on Thursday. But it's very stressful and giving me many sleepless nights.

On the other hand, it's all online and probably will be online at least until after xmas break. So everybody else is kind of missing out on the classic Starting High School experience.

Our wings are not tired.

It's very helpful that she has supportive parents. eta: really to both Gud and Hec!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hooray for supportive parents of all stripes.

Already started it.

She's probably already discovered these, but have her check out the kind of HRT timelines people post on Pinterest where they show where they were at various stages. It's dramatic to see how much can change over a year or two.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What she said!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Buffista kids are so lucky to have Buffista parents.

Aww yay good parenting Gud! I'm glad your kid felt she could share this with you—that speaks to past good parenting as well as present good parenting in the good reaction!

Gah, poor Matilda. I was just wondering what her situation was re: school after seeing a bunch of First Day of School Online posts in my FB feed...
