Frustration Anyone ??

No thinks - I have plenty already! GRIN

VIV

I don't know if this helps (WONDEFUL REPLIES SO FAR!)

I am transitioning - starting age 61. I have three supportive adult children and a grudgingly supportive wife. Like Sally said about Dee Jays comment, no DD's yet!

BUT - Here comes the fun part - I just realized my anniversary date of start of transition was 6 October - that my HRT one year date is 10 December... and I now pass pretty easily!

Oh my - so slow in the making, so fast in the result!!! So hang in there Viv - it works out. We transsexual are such impatient creatures...

Lizzy,

Your face reminds me of the Mom of my best friend when I was growing up. She was like a second Mom to me. Sorry for being off topic, it just finally dawned on me of who you reminded me of.

"We transsexual are such impatient creatures..."

I noticed that myself about myself. I'm quite literally charging ahead as fast as I can. I think of it though as my vain attempt to get it done before my looks start to fade. I guess what I really want is some way to stop the clock before I turn 30. I dread that day so much.

I'm not lookin' at transition the way I once did.

You look at a young girls puberty and there is so much priceless experience involved there.

Something as simple as watchin' and feeling your body change has to be something quite wonderful.

Why would I want to put something like that on fast-foward? Frustration and unreasonable anger rilly served to cloud my judgement.

As far as we all know anyway, you only get one shot at this.

I love the thought of living the last years of my life content with what I've achieved and overcoming my adversity through a peaceful and patient effort.

That is a very good way to look at it, Amie...

I wish that I had the luxury of taking my time...

So, savor every moment, Sweetheart...smell every smell....touch every flower along the way...

But, People like me, Lizzy, Sally are at full steam ahead...I'll be 60 at Christmas time and I need to get a lot done so that I can enjoy what I have left of my real life...

Do I wish I had started it all at 25 years old?

Well, sure I do....

But wishing don't make it real....

Today and the future are what is real!

Time is on no one's side. Someone needs to find the fountain of youth already.

Well Natalie,

Wait until you are on your way and you will find the fountain of youth you will see.

Angie, who looks forty instead of her fifty three.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
