Erin. . I just Love this Video.. You Look and Sound So Confident and Happy.. I just Love Your Earnings And You're Purses is So CUTE and Feminine..I Love It 💕 Your a Lucky Girl.. and.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO...🎂
Irin, please do not beat yourself up. Do not take back. Happy birthday 🎈🎉 being 50 is nothing, you are very pretty and smart and strong willed. It will take time and for dating just do things for yourself that makes you happy 😁. I do not know you and you don't know me. I have had to start over many times in things and I lived. You can do this!!!
Erin, those hoops look Fabulous and the purse your wife got you is lovely. It's nice that your wife is being so supportive. Mine is quite transphobic, my son has a friend that is MTF and my wife can't bring herself to use his proper pronouns. I could imagine if I told her I was a she (I'm not out to anyone). Don't pay any attention to the jerks at work they are just ignorant. It's wonderful to see you so Happy, for now I am living vicariously through you 💖
Thank you so so much Chelsea 🥰 you are so sweet as always! I'm sorry though, it's like that with so many people and it's even more discouraging when it's our own family, hang in there okay.
Wow you have over 1K subscribers. You look amazing, so it looks like girlhood agrees with you. Let things happen on their own time. I like the comments you're getting; it just proves you have lots of friends. Glad to hear your wife is coming around.
Thanks 🥰 I am so appreciative for all of the support ❤️ I am definitely taking it one day at a time, letting things happen naturally now! And yes, I hope it gets better and better for her. Fingers crossed 🤞 🌈
Erin, you're looking radiant more ever than before. May your time and what you have working on now. Flourish getting where you are not only now and to achieve the illustrious joyfullness and fulfillment. Sweetheart take care of yourself and always truly appreciate and love yourself as we all do.
Keep up the hard work Erin. I agree that you can’t let the misgendering go on for a long time and have to start correcting people. I’m having to do it myself and remember my own words to you. I’m very excited your wife is coming around. Continue to rock that cute purse. Just don’t forget to fill your open free time with happiness and new memories with your family. Your videos are so refreshing since we’re at different stages but going thru the work coming out close together. I can’t wait for the next update.
I will! Thanks for this! I won't let it go on too long. It's been great for the most part! I'm glad you have been there to watch my journey so far! So many big things to come 💜
Oh you are in for a great ride. I spent six months when the hormones really started working. Crying every time I saw something sad on tv. But the final result beautiful
id go even bigger with the hoops. i am wearing very big hoops and i feel like they make me look a little more petite/feminine so i feel like thats a good trick. also love the simple thumbnail. i really like checkin in on you every now and then and listening to your day
I love the big hoops too and thanks so much!! I will be rocking big hoops as soon as my ears are completely healed. Still slightly hurt having small hoops in for the entire day. And thanks so much for coming back to watch my videos, I enjoy your videos as well (you are due for a new upload btw 😉)
@@aNewDayWithErin oh youre already wearing hoops although your ears arent healed yet. Girl i did the same i just couldnt physically wait. I should really upload again but its exam season for me rn and i couldnt find the time 😭 its kinda nice to have a break from youtube tho as its a lot sometimes. Im sure you know exactly what i mean 💜
@@ClaireFionaBarbucci yeah a little early haha. I only wear them to work and then take them off immediately when I get home and replace with studs. You are right, I couldn't wait anymore than 5 weeks!!! And I totally get it about the taking a break. I probably should sometime to reset!
@@aNewDayWithErin honestly i was very eager too and from experience i can definitely say the healing time is long no matter what you do so might as well slay. you should definitely find time to rest i see you pushing these videos out fast. with my long editing process and studying im lucky to post once a month.
Out of the nightmare and into the dream! Thats great. Very happy for you. I have good news as well. I started estrogen last week at a higher then normal dose for beginners, have bought a few cloths but still haven’t told wife yet. It’s in discussion. Bought couple new wigs. So happy birthday Erin! Chat soon Briann
@@aNewDayWithErin I’ve brought it up couple times and she knows I’ve scheduled an appointment with my old therapist to see what she remembers how I felt when on estrogen. Then I’m going to tell her that that the therapist said I was doing better so as long as she doesn’t mind I’m going to restart my estrogen. If she is against it I will continue to take my estrogen. He started me at 4 mg daily which is higher then my previous dose. Since I had no problems he said he could increase it if I wanted and I said yes. So 7 doses have been taken so far. I need to take measurements and pics now so I can compare every couple months. I did start getting breast buds before. So I’m excited to be on higher dose to get that process restarted hopefully sooner. I am happy for you Erin. At current age I’m not sure if full transition with surgeries is worth it. The stories are still in fore front on my mind. Time will tell all. Chat again soon.
@@aNewDayWithErin I will be making a new video in about 2 hours probably. You will be able to see it later. Hope I do better then first one. Have a great day
I like the opening fairy dragon thing. 😁 I have said it before but I still mean it that its so good to hear how well things have gone at work for you. Its inspiring for sure. If the worst you have got it so far was the jerks laughing as you passed it sounds overall so positive. Not to take away from how much that must have sucked though. At least you don't work with them often. Hopefully things keep going good for you!
You like it? I thought it was pretty cool 😎 thanks so much Alesha. And yes! If that's the worst of it I'd say I got so freaking lucky 🍀🍀🍀🍀 thanks always for the nice comments. Talk to you on discord 😊
I enjoy watching your videos.I am a Transgender woman.I started Transitioning late in life.I am 67 years old.Little by little I am going to express my femininity in public.I love being a woman.Love your new purse.Your so beautiful Erin inside and out.Take care and enjoy the moment.❤️❤️❤️😊🌈
Erin you are just looking so freaking amazing! I am so glad to hear how happy you have been and how that is opening up so many things for you. I'm sorry you're still dealing with some misgendering (how does that even happen, you're GORGEOUS!) but I can promise it will get better with time. That laughter from the other co-workers is just awful though, and hopefully the more they see you just being you the less that will happen. I'm still super nervous about asking my doctor for progesterone. I really like my sex drive the way it is now, I don't know if I want that to change again... The purse is sooooo cute! I'm super jealous. 💜 Have so much fun with the earring game that's opening up to you now. I've built a pretty huge collection and picked up a heap more at World Pride which is happening down here in Sydney right now.
Thanks so so much, I feel absolutely amazing!! I can't wait to see what's next in my life. And I'll be able to handle the random negative stuff. It is nothing compared to life before being out. I just try and be nice to everyone around me. Trying to give trans girls a good name! And if you are nervous about it I wouldn't worry about taking it. Just trust your own instincts. The sex drive increase is not like erections randomly or anything. Just a little more turned on than I had been lately!! And thanks about the purse, I am just happy I get to use one without judgement now😋
Erin - love you. You have come so far. When I went up to 6mg and progesterone was added later it made a great difference to my feminisation. Breast shape improved and sex drive recovered, but for the first time I became interested in men. Those hot guys with 6 packs and muscles suddenly became very attractive to me. However, back then I was married and trying to make it work.
Aww thanks!! I haven't seen you comment before so welcome 😊 that's really encouraging about the extra feminization you experienced. The more the better. I absolutely love my life now! Funny about the men, so far mine has gone even more for the girls 😆 but we are all different 💜 hope to see more comments from you!
This video was great as always, but unlike your other update videos you did address some of your dypshoric moments (mostly at work) that I found interesting. That is my biggest fear about coming out at work is not the initial response, but afterwards when people's true emotions/beliefs come out. As a naturally sensative person im not sure how to deal with those situations. That was a cute purse your wife bought you for your Birthday though!
Really glad for you! You really look beautiful, I love the way you do makeup. I know the style these days is heavy eye makeup, contouring and the like but what you are doing suits you so well, it looks naturally feminine,you look like a girl in her early 20s. When HRT kicks in you will really be rocking it. Of course, if going out or something then the full war paint is fun, but for ordinary life what you are doing is perfect:) The hoops look great on you, perfect size for your face. Maybe I should start up a pool on when you get more piercings *lol*. With other people, you do need to give them time,I am glad you are going to do that With the jerks, what happens in time is that when the newness wears off, it doesn't work as a joke ( meaning laughing at you). When the other guys don't laugh, the jerk no longer is center of attention . Likewise the other ppl who treat you well, when they see the jerks, will help shut them down. There will always be jerks, but know what, there are anyway. Jerks who don't think a woman should be a supervisor, or someone different from them. You likely can't change them, but others will shut them up:). One thing I have seen over the years, try to avoid HR if at all possible,try to let time work things out. HR should be used only when there is a real situation, like someone directly harasses you or down the road continues to mis gender you or use your dead name. HR hates to get involved if they don't have to, and if you only go to them when it really is needed they will be a strong ally. I have seen up close girls who went to HR constantly when ppl misgenderer them or they thought were making fun of them ,etc, and it can work against you IME. And if you wre having trouble,once you have been full time for awhile you can find a new job ,as a woman, where no one knows you are trans or at least didn't know you as anything but Erin:) Another thing to be careful with is the feeling of euphoria, everything is great. The thing is there will be down moments, issues, problems, and you have to keep that in the back of your head. My therapist used to say ppl when things are going well, forget that bad times can happen,and when they do are devastated. Likewise when things are dark we tend to think they will never end, when they do and get even more down. With HRT, progesterone kicks off the formation of breast tissue, working with the estrogen it should with a month or two show development. My body is not normal in that for whatever reason I developed fast, and my body was very sensitive to estrogen. I was on a starter dose, like 2.5 mg, and my estrogen levels were high. And yep, progesterone does boost the sex drive I recall ( in interesting ways). My Endo only used it at the beginning of HRT, would have been interesting to see what I would have done with a higher sex drive as I developed *smile* I didn't realize you were married. I wish I had a magic secret with that one. What I can tell you is never let yourself undersell what she is going through, it is a mistake I made that ended up imploding on me. It can seem like she is supportive,I loved the bag😃, but there is a lot likely below the surface there that it is only later on that I realized how mistaken I was ( and understand, I don't know you or your wife, so I am talking only my experience). As trans girls we have therapists and doctors and other ppl to support us. Yet the spouse is going through a transition too, one caught up in so many things, much more than friends or family. Suddenly instead of being a typical married couple,that is changing ( one note,my experience was a long time ago, it is different now). To many ppl being different is scary.plus even in modern times, with so many years of change in women's lives, there is still an identity of being ',Mrs John Doe' to more than a few women, that is changing w transition. Plus they are dealing with the changes in us as people. We see ourselves as being ourself, we are the same person only better, but they are seeing a new person emerge. It takes time and patience on the trans person,especially when the floodgates open, to allow the so the space to figure out who they are in this new world:). It usually takes a while for us to accept ourselves, can take a so a while too. One thing I highly encourage is trying to find support for her,whether it be a therapist or the real unicorn,a support group for the spouses on trans ppl. Couples therapy with the right person can help, too. It is a process like your transition,don't do what I did and take too much for granted. In my case it was not understanding how bad my wife's background was&,how much her sense of safety was being with me ( we met young,in college),and me being trans set off alarm bells not surprisingly. Among other things if she has help it builds her own sense of self and will allow her to talk through things with you,something we didn't do. Again, I don't know you or your wife, just sharing from my story if it can help:). Congrats on everything, look forward to seeing more from you!
This comment 💜💜💜💜💜! Thank you for really taking the time to give some great and valuable advice. I truly appreciate it 😊 I have really been working hard on the natural look while still having fun. I really need to practice with eye makeup because it changes a look so easily! And I usually avoid HR until absolutely necessary. Once you cross that line there is no going back so it better be a good reason. I've been there enough the past few months anyway haha (they helped me so much with the transition). Regarding my wife, I've tried so hard to be patient with her and I believe it's helped a lot. I am all of a sudden seeing her change along with me in a good way. Just hope it remains!!!
@@aNewDayWithErin Erin- Glad to hear it is looking up with your wife. It is only looking back on almost 20 years now that I see the mistakes I made, the assumptions I made, that helped trash things. It is so easy when we find ourselves to forget the struggles of the people around us. In some ways they are transitioning too, trying to figure out who they are as your relationship changes. It sounds like your wife is making the effort, that is worth trying to save,believe me. Keep taking, listen, and as hard as it can be try to understand how hard this is..the payoff is huge:) With makeup I highly recommend working with the ppl at Ulta or Sephora, they can help a lot with the look. I found getting makeup lessons worked better than doing you tube, pros know all kinds of tricks:).
@@aNewDayWithErin I'll look forward to seeing and hearing from you. I've offered up some sincere thoughts re: your gender-journey and I wish you a sincere 'bon voyage'. May God smile upon his daughter.
if the mis-gendering (he vs she) goes on frequently for more than a few months I would say something, to the offender directly if you have an ok relationship, if not go to HR. Taper down on AD's slowly so they don't drop you like a rock
yes I will, I am giving people some time at the moment. I have worked there for 10 years so it's hard to break habits! What do you mean by taper down on the AD's slowly...I feel dumb now😋
@A NEW DAY with Erin do you think maybe they meant work around people they had to worry about judging them or all that comes with it? That's how I read it lol but I see that it could also be meant in a negative manner also.
Erin...I think..It's Just The Up's and Down's...of 11 months of HORMONES... By the way..I just Love Your Makeup.. You just...Got Off Work... and You Look..So Cute and Beautiful.. I just LOVE YOUR NATURAL CLEAN LOOK .. YOU GOT THIS GIRL 💕
Hey Erin, how are you? Great I hope since it’s the weekend now. How long did it take for you to have people viewing your videos and leaving comments? Seems very slow on my side. Have couple ideas for new videos that I may try and get done next week.
Hi Brianna, it took a few videos to get people watching. In the beginning I was interacting with a lot of other TH-camrs telling them I was starting my journey and documenting through TH-cam as well So some of them started watching me. It also helps to have a simple very popular title. A lot of my video titles say MTF transgender because it helps people find it easier. And use all tags you can(up to 500 characters) tags like MTF, transgender, trans, trans MTF, HRT, etc
Well, I'm going back to work tomorrow due to these COVID19 like symptoms. Employee health cleared me. So many things delayed like getting my estrogen level checked and getting my second script of Estradiol. Its at the pharmacy. Good news, I got the job in Albuquerque. I am happy although I have been off hormones a few days, I still feel changes happening.
Can we be friends on Facebook and chat?? I found your channel a couple days ago and love your videos! My favorite new girl I found and you are giving me hope and courage along with my older sister I've only told her..I'm 36 wish I would of transitioned at 20 and I wish society was like this back when I was that age ...you are very beautiful and have a feminine face already and I'm sad because I hate my face and think it's too late for me but I like am breaking I wanna be myself I'm so anxious
Aww thanks so much. I glad the videos are helping you 🥰 💕 I totally get that it wasn't this easy to come out 10 years ago, that was part of my reason for pushing back so much. I do not use Facebook messenger but you can message me privately on discord. My name is Erin747 #5948

As trans girls we have therapists and doctors and other ppl to support us. Yet the spouse is going through a transition too, one caught up in so many things, much more than friends or family. Suddenly instead of being a typical married couple,that is changing ( one note,my experience was a long time ago, it is different now). To many ppl being different is scary.plus even in modern times, with so many years of change in women's lives, there is still an identity of being ',Mrs John Doe' to more than a few women, that is changing w transition. Plus they are dealing with the changes in us as people. We see ourselves as being ourself, we are the same person only better, but they are seeing a new person emerge. It takes time and patience on the trans person,especially when the floodgates open, to allow the so the space to figure out who they are in this new world:). It usually takes a while for us to accept ourselves, can take a so a while too. One thing I highly encourage is trying to find support for her,whether it be a therapist or the real unicorn,a support group for the spouses on trans ppl. Couples therapy with the right person can help, too. It is a process like your transition,don't do what I did and take too much for granted. In my case it was not understanding how bad my wife's background was&,how much her sense of safety was being with me ( we met young,in college),and me being trans set off alarm bells not surprisingly. Among other things if she has help it builds her own sense of self and will allow her to talk through things with you,something we didn't do. Again, I don't know you or your wife, just sharing from my story if it can help:).
Congrats on everything, look forward to seeing more from you!
This comment 💜💜💜💜💜! Thank you for really taking the time to give some great and valuable advice. I truly appreciate it 😊
I have really been working hard on the natural look while still having fun. I really need to practice with eye makeup because it changes a look so easily!
And I usually avoid HR until absolutely necessary. Once you cross that line there is no going back so it better be a good reason. I've been there enough the past few months anyway haha (they helped me so much with the transition).
Regarding my wife, I've tried so hard to be patient with her and I believe it's helped a lot. I am all of a sudden seeing her change along with me in a good way. Just hope it remains!!!

Erin-
Glad to hear it is looking up with your wife. It is only looking back on almost 20 years now that I see the mistakes I made, the assumptions I made, that helped trash things. It is so easy when we find ourselves to forget the struggles of the people around us. In some ways they are transitioning too, trying to figure out who they are as your relationship changes. It sounds like your wife is making the effort, that is worth trying to save,believe me. Keep taking, listen, and as hard as it can be try to understand how hard this is..the payoff is huge:)
With makeup I highly recommend working with the ppl at Ulta or Sephora, they can help a lot with the look. I found getting makeup lessons worked better than doing you tube, pros know all kinds of tricks:).
I'm anxious to follow your journey. You're lovely.
Thanks! New video out today actually 💕
@@aNewDayWithErin I'll look forward to seeing and hearing from you. I've offered up some sincere thoughts re: your gender-journey and I wish you a sincere 'bon voyage'. May God smile upon his daughter.
Earrings are so much fun.
Multiple ear piercings are fun.
Navel piercing is super when summertime comes.
You need to invest some money in a lot of different ear rings.
if the mis-gendering (he vs she) goes on frequently for more than a few months I would say something, to the offender directly if you have an ok relationship, if not go to HR. Taper down on AD's slowly so they don't drop you like a rock
yes I will, I am giving people some time at the moment. I have worked there for 10 years so it's hard to break habits! What do you mean by taper down on the AD's slowly...I feel dumb now😋
I am so lucky to not have to work with these things.
@@dianewilkins4418 they are lucky to not have to work with you either. Thank God.
@A NEW DAY with Erin do you think maybe they meant work around people they had to worry about judging them or all that comes with it? That's how I read it lol but I see that it could also be meant in a negative manner also.
I think Christine meant to taper down off the antidepressants so your mood doesn't fall off a cliff. Probably good advice.
Lovely I did my own ear piercings you can buy a little kit that you just push together and in goes the stud cap etc but love it xxx
I'll have to look into that!
You should do a video trying on different earrings
That would be so much fun!! I might need to accumulate some different kinda for that ! I'll keep that in mind
Erin...I think..It's Just The Up's and Down's...of 11 months of HORMONES...
By the way..I just Love Your Makeup..
You just...Got Off Work... and You Look..So Cute and Beautiful..
I just LOVE YOUR NATURAL CLEAN LOOK .. YOU GOT THIS GIRL 💕
Hey Erin, how are you? Great I hope since it’s the weekend now. How long did it take for you to have people viewing your videos and leaving comments? Seems very slow on my side. Have couple ideas for new videos that I may try and get done next week.
Hi Brianna, it took a few videos to get people watching. In the beginning I was interacting with a lot of other TH-camrs telling them I was starting my journey and documenting through TH-cam as well So some of them started watching me. It also helps to have a simple very popular title. A lot of my video titles say MTF transgender because it helps people find it easier. And use all tags you can(up to 500 characters) tags like MTF, transgender, trans, trans MTF, HRT, etc
Well, I'm going back to work tomorrow due to these COVID19 like symptoms. Employee health cleared me. So many things delayed like getting my estrogen level checked and getting my second script of Estradiol. Its at the pharmacy. Good news, I got the job in Albuquerque. I am happy although I have been off hormones a few days, I still feel changes happening.
Hope you are feeling much better!! I'm happy you got that job 😊☺️☺️😊
Thanks just like this job it is federal, so even being a transfer takes at leastv6 months of paperwork.
@@julestreasureArea5t1 that's a lot!
Tell me about it. So much paperwork.
💘💘

Aww thanks so much. I glad the videos are helping you 🥰 💕 I totally get that it wasn't this easy to come out 10 years ago, that was part of my reason for pushing back so much. I do not use Facebook messenger but you can message me privately on discord. My name is Erin747 #5948
