All going quite smoothly. It's beginning to feel the norm now. W very comfortable with the voice and stubble.
Saw Julia last week the school psychologist, not spoken to her for a few months in confidence, not had the opportunity too to be honest, it's just been a quick 'how are things'. Had a lovely chat and updated her on the progress, explained how I felt regards the facial hair, she suggested I buy a razor and shaving gel and leave them in the bathroom, good idea but not done it yet! Julia also impressed with my attitude and said I spoke about W with enthusiasm and pride.
W came into school a few days ago to cover some lessons for me. I felt this was a good opportunity for the staff to meet W as W now, as I have told a few more of my colleagues about him, I have worked with most of these colleagues for the biggest part of W's lifetime so they have seen him grow up.
I was a little nervous as my older pupils know I have a boy and girl. I decided with W that I would introduce him as a student as I would not be around so him calling me mum in ear shot was not a problem. All of my students accepted him as W, there were no comments made about him and a couple of the girls fancied him, they asked when he was coming in again!!
Matt spoke to me on the phone a couple of days ago and referred to him as W, that's a first so all going good in W's favour, I have dropped the female pronouns now and am trying my hardest with that, called him W a few times too.
W had a lovely email regarding my blog, the trans man was full of praise for me and told W he was very lucky having me as his mum, he told W he should show his appreciation all the time and tell me loves me every day, also he wants me to adopt him...Waiting for W to forward it to me so I can post it here.
Matt had more blood tests waiting for the results of those.
Had a brilliant evening, Matt introduced me to his lovely girlfriend in the afternoon and she came for tea, well a take away, was great to have them all around the table, we had some laughs and Matt suffered embarrassing tales off W, happy times.
One happy, proud mummy, got two, very happy gorgeous sons.
