Thank You!!!!

READ FABULOSITY BY KIMORA LEE SIMMONS!!!!!!!!!!!

I mostly blame my father- he was schitsofrantic and pychopathic.

I'm not related (adopted) but I know EXACTLY why I and where I get my quirks and panic attacks from (not just him) so I take control by visualizing who I want to be and actually start becoming that fully realized person NOW.

That's the real secret in trasitioning. It's only half physcial it's mostly being the kind of person you want to be INSIDE AND OUT!

Still nice to know I'm not the only one thinking I was seeing ghosts from my past yesterday, though.

I think love, support and tough love work best for me.

When no one's going to do it for me sometimes a good old fashioned kick in pants and do it myself attitude helps.

Makes you feel invinciable like I CAN DO THIS! Be warned you need good people to keep you grounded, though.

I kinda became this way out of life or death nescetity though.

My mom or dad couldn't help me after everything else they've inevitably done NOT help. (he controlled and brain washed her and she still tells herself things are better in a different way than they really are to help, and than believes herself.)

It's survival basically. Take control for yourself. Think old soviet athelete mentality.

haha way to completely masculinize the situation :D

like my friend said today who's mtf, when we were talking about wanting better techonolgy etc. "I can almost guarantee 99.9% that it won't happen" (meaning having internal organs etc.) - because of immune system rejection and all that. but then I brought up these studies that were done in the 80s that this may i fact not be an obstacle for us, we may actually have a genetic predisposition that has compatibility with the chromosomal makeup of the opposite sex. and then i started talking about how one of the reasons i decided to become a biology major was to advance the technique on my own because i feel like i just cant sit around and keep my fingers crossed that it will happen.. and how i dont even know anymore whether a career in biology is what i actually want or if it's something im doing because i want the technology to improve badly enough to go through 8 years of school to do it myself. but really i do always see myself in some kind of biomedical career - though there is also fantasy vs reality to take into account...

so yeah i guess suddenly i feel like my life is very up in the air and i dont have a clear direction to move in - kinda scary to think about. because it's almost like im not even a real person at this point in my life, ive been going through the motions of living but havent actually lived. it's all very weird the more i think about it.

I think you are crusading for a noble cause. To be more nerdy then anyone else in this world, it has been said Lord Revan(who once was a great jedi...) did not fall to the dark side but sacrificed himself to it in order to strengthen the republic if it wanted to be strengthened or not, that or replace it with somthing that was stronger. In some ways you remind me of him.

Anyway....sorry.

I felt the same until I transitioned - I felt like I was a fake person who wasn't real. Some nights I sat there thinking how I could be living even. Sounds strange but its how I felt. So I get you there and I understand your fear. Just wanted to put that out there.

Well I'll take that as a compliment :D

      Two unusual conbinations: Jackson Brown was accompanist for Nico of The Velvet Undarground & Nico fame. David Gates of Bread fame played with Captain Beefheart.

      I started estrogen (oral) a little before age 50 and not the maximum dose either and also no blockers. It almost immediately accentuated the feminine features I already had, and expanded my already soft areas of skin, widened my hips and distributed more fat to my thighs and increased my breast size. There seem to be some subtle changes to my face too though I doubt I am any more passable than I was a decade ago, it’s just nice to not use breast forms anymore. I haven’t switched to injections as planned and there really hasn’t been much change after the first 6 months and my body fights back; my E levels dropped and T increased even on the same dose so it has not really done much for me. It sounds like injections are the far better way to go, plus progesterone after a while if the doctor will prescribe that.    As is often said, everyone is unique and one’s mileage may vary, and what works for one person may not for another.

      This is so sad. The violence in general in Washington State seems to have ramped up a lot, and gender-based violence and hate crimes seem to be worse as well. My parents once lived in Renton but I don’t care for that city and never go there. I don’t think it really matters though as crimes like this can happen anywhere and often are perpetrated by a male who was in a prior relationship with the victim.

      I’ve never been in therapy specifically labeled as such, butI think IFS therapy evolved from treatment of dissociative identity disorder in which one’s various alters or parts are treated as an internal family, and each part is like a separate individual who can be spoken to individually or have dialogue with other parts. In a person with full DID, doing that supposedly helps to break down the dissociative barriers that cause that person to not be able to remember what they did for parts of a day or longer. This was the case with me.   Anyone’s mind, though, can be thought of as being compartmentalized to some extent and we all can have an inner child and various aspects of our selves, yet the dissociation is never to a degree that it causes problems like with DID. But the same aspects of working with an internal family or different aspects of self, like the inner child, the rebellious teen, the persecutor parental type, etc, can help heal trauma nonetheless. I think many of us do have sides of us that we don’t like, or others don’t like, and it can be useful to examine how they came about and what purpose they serve as they are often a means of self-protection or coping with anxiety.

      We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight.  Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food.  With strawberries for dessert!  We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking.  And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette.  Time for a late night snack!     Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things.

      Well, it is officially summer.  85 degrees outside the last two days, and GF is sick and irritable.  I have to curl up under heavy blankets in my nest, because she's got the AC turned down to the point I expect to see icicles growing on the ceiling.  This is what life is like when your partner is an arctic creature. I should be used to it by now, but just when I think its nice and warm, she has to freeze me.

      I just can't resist.  Does all that mean that.............the bird is the word? 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, that might be interesting.  At least since she's 24, its not like you're on the hook for expenses.

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!
