Well I have been talking to this woman for two days and have a good bit in common. She deals with early education and is only 70 miles away from me. Finally not someone to where I would have to get a plane ticket to. We are planning on meeting up this Saturday for coffee. I even have her coffee order memorized. Her brother is just a year older than me. She said that he is not going to be hard to get him to like me. Her mom I don't know yet. I'll have to do more digging around. She can't have kids of her own but she does love them. She has given me a voice memo and I have already played it like a dozen times. I met her on Facebook dating. She is just a little younger than me. Her birthday is in December. I thinking about getting her perfume for Christmas. She says that she doesn't even spend more than 30 dollars on perfume. I'm going to spoil her. The others have ghosted me which I was getting slight hints. -

Thank you for your kind comments. I don’t know yet, I might do? She wants to talk on the phone next session, she might suggest video for the one after? There is group video sessions I can join in with, the times are a bit wrong for me as I will be at work. You look beautiful too. Hugs and kisses 🥰 -

I doubt if there is anything you could tell them that would be "the wrong thing." Explain to them how you have felt, what your goals are, and what your immediate needs are, and I'm sure they will ask all the right questions. Be honest, be persistent, and don't take "No" for an answer. Good luck! Carolyn Marie -

Congratulations on starting the journey to womanhood, Silas. It can be a wonderful experience, but it comes with twists and turns and obstacles, at times. You've started off on the right foot by finding a therapist. If they don't contact you in a day or two I would reach out to them again. They should at least tell you if they are too busy or whatever. There are a great number of useful threads in the MtF Forum and other forums to find great advice from people who have gone through the process. My advice includes being patient, being persistent and being willing to make adjustments to whatever comes your way. If you have health insurance, it's a good idea to see if your coverage has exclusions for transition-related medical expenses, what approvals are required, and the appeals process. We'll help out with any other specific questions you have. Wishing you luck and success! Carolyn Marie -

I have renters insurance with a $500 deductible, so worse case scenario it costs me $500. -

Wow, that sux. Hopefully the damage isn't bad, and you can get compensation for it. Crazy that your apartment owner doesn't think they owe you anything. Getting something out of another tenant might be like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip... -

Yeah, the annual October exercises are always 2 sides. Sometimes they'll even add a "third actor" to simulate interference and add chaos. The scenario can be either Federal or foreign invasion, sometimes they simulate organized/disorganized civil unrest. This year was bigger than in the past. I'm not really sure how it all works, since I'm not part of it. But oh, it is so noisy! Afterwards, there's a lot of discussion and analysis, just trying to improve everybody's skills and thinking in case we have trouble here. Its sad this is part of our world now - 2020 changed everything for us. 5 years later, our area looks and feels really different. In many ways, its been good. We have lots more local business and local industry, and more diverse local agriculture. We're much more resilient. People are more connected to each other, and response to disasters like fires and tornadoes is much more comprehensive. My county has a mutual-aid agreement with a couple of other counties, which has been helpful. I'm not sure what the future holds, but hopefully we're in better shape than we were before. -

Yeah! I'm glad that it went ok. I think you'll find that you will be more open and will get more as you become more comfortable talking about your feelings with her. Will you be doing video conferences at all? I found that being seen on my therapy calls, as well as participating in the transgender Zoom sessions, was extremely validating and helped build my confidence and self-acceptance. And, of course, you look beautiful! -

Had my first session with my therapist today, it was only done through messaging but the next time she wants to talk to me on the phone. We just talked about how I feel and what makes me happy. Never really got much out of it today but it is only the first session. Over the next week she wants me to think about what it means to be transgender and what I want from it? See how my next one goes, by all, hugs and kisses 🥰 -

When I was younger I won an award at an art show for a painting. I've also taken first place in multiple auto racing events. -

Good morning it’s Monday and I actually got to sleep in. I go in to work at 11:00! And we have all four management working together. Not something normal. It is a “truck” day meaning we get deliveries but we have plenty of stock so the delivery should be small. @awkward-yet-sweet that sounds like quite a war game. Do you split the group up so that there are two sides or are the drills just one group working together? have a good Monday, be safe. South Carolina has been having a series of earthquakes again, this time in the foothills. Before they were all centered in the central area. Clearly the Atlantic plate is moving again. Willow -

As I was leaving much of the drywall on the ceiling collapsed. I won't know the extent of damage to my things until I get back there this afternoon. -

Yikes. I hope there wasn't much actual damage to your apartment. Getting stuck with the bill sucks as well. -

Ah, this is complicated. I have no desire to be "Mom" myself. I'm quite satisfied that "Mom" is my ex. But since we are "Exes" and our kids are adults, it doesn't come up. I was once was talking to a lady at the laundromat who remembered my family (we were a bit infamous) and thought I was the mom. I just laughed and corrected her, I was the "dad." It actually flattered me just a bit at the time, since I have serious doubts about my "passing." But, I can understand your wife's position. Hopefully she will come to not perceive you as a threat to her place in the family. A woman who has carried and birthed a child (and more) has certainly earned "Mom." But we have little control over how others perceive us. In public I prefer to be called by my name by my kids.
