A Tiny Pill That Can Change Your World

A Tiny Pill That Can Change Your World

By Sally Michelle Jackson

There is a tiny oval pill that some call it blue or green it doesn’t matter it seems

I like to think of it as teal but whatever color it has magical powers like in dreams

You hold it and look at it knowing its power

So now you realize that this is your hour

So take it and carefully place it just under your tongue

It tastes so sweet as it uses its power but take only one

Something so wonderful and sweet under your tongue

Just to remind you that your journey has really begun

So this ends the life that you have already lead

And builds a bridge to that one in your head

So enjoy the sweetness as you close your eyes

For the dreams of a lifetime you will soon realize

The transition is slow and it gives us time

To get ourselves ready till we finally shine

The truth is the pill has no magic to do

For all of its power was always in you

The changes are subtle and slow at the first

You want them to hurry you feel you will burst

But along with the body the best thing I find

The changes within and the new peace of mind

I have waited so long and I almost gave in

But as I take each pill I feel the journey begin

So it is good-bye to one life as I stand on the bridge

Looking forward to the next one just over the ridge

Some call it strong and think it so daring

But it is of necessity that fact I am sharing

I was born to be me but not the one that others see

At the end of this journey is the start of the new me

I will leave some of my friends behind in sadness

But I will have more who greet me with gladness

After a time they will see a woman instead of a boy

And that is the time to celebrate with incredible joy

Life for most is one long journey on one path

But mine is broken into three just do the math

Each one connected and always moving you see

Toward the last stage where I travel my path as me

I can feel that, Sally......

Although I've been on for 6 months...I feel your excitement and joy and I love sharing it with you....

Every morning when I take mine, it is exciting all over again...

And, my dearest Again.....

It is hard to believe, but many people , still to this day, suffer their entire life in silence and never realize the dream of becoming themselves...

I came dangerously close myself!

Love

the earth changing

earth shattering

little wonder

how did I live

how did I survive

with out that lil wonder

that now keeps me alive

one in the moring

one in the evening

just with spiro this time

drink water till i think ill float

which way to the head

time to unload

ooops did I say that

now some of the changes

the moods,

and many others

that itching

that aching

the longing

the waiting

there you have

what all your life you wanted

a magic pill

a kind of a bullet

knocks down that old world

but builds a new one

much better it is

for now its the right one

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.

      I admit to wearing make-up. Actually, I'll admit to enjoying wearing make-up. For me, it's been part of learning about myself as a woman and finding a style and look that reflects my personality.    Sometimes, it will just be a bit of mascara and a touch of lipstick. But, most often I wear foundation with setting powder, gel eyeliner, mascara, a little blush on my cheek line and lipstick. I also use an eyebrow pencil to darken my brows a bit.  Infrequently, I will add some eye shadow.   Most of my make-up is from Mary Kay although my lipsticks or from various manufacturers and eyeliners are mostly Maybelline. My wife purchases most of her make-up from Mary Kay and so we order together from our local representative. Of course, I don't have much brand experience but I'm happy with the Mary Kay products and find myself transitioning almost entirely to their line of make-up.
