Yeah, Yeah i know another odd title from Joanna. Since you gals have begun hrt how many of you have noticed that your sesitivity to aromas has increased. I am noticing subtlties of mens and womens cologns that I had not noticed before, and the results are not always pleasant. For example we had a conference in the hotel I work at and one of the leaders wore an aftershave that reminded me of sandlewood insence, I nearly gagged everytime he walked by the desk. We have had female customers whose perfume does ablsolutely nothing for them in my books and yes men do smell different from women.

anyone else noticed this

Joanna, this is a good title!

Women do smell differently from men and they can tell very minute difference from men. I really don't like those colonges, smell like something wierd to me. I always wear women's perfume before I transition and I am not on HRT yet. It goes well with my body scent, I remembered one time one of my GG clients sniffed my neck and compliment me :) Another time I was shopping in a mall, a 6 ft guy stopped and ask me what I was wearingand he loved the scent..... I think perfume really enhance our feminity.

What perfume you wear Joanna?

Actually I dont wear perfumes or cologns. I work in an environment where we are not supposed to wear much in the line of scents so I stick with the subtle one my deoderant has. Its degree for women, Classic Romance scent. I love it and it works well with me, they make a body spray with the same scent and I might get some of that.

OK.... Let me throw a CURVE ball.... When I like a Scent/perfume I stick to it. Perfumes that I wore very early onin transition are now repugnant and nasty smelling.... I think as out own pheramones change it mixrs with the scent and the combination of the two Changes as your body chemistry changes..... Does that make any Sense to you 'Girls" ?

I'm not on HRT yet, start this November though. Anywhooooo...I have a very sensitive or I should say a heightened sense of smell due to my vision loss. Any kind of perfume/cologne or scent is highly sensitive to me. I dont' know if that is good or bad. Hmmm.

Hugs,

Suzie

      This hand written stuff is just a few years old, but those math animation graphics are decades old.  Those Flash Math Creativity days.  Lots of good memories from that.  I never read that book, but you know, I was fully in that thing.   I called the collision detection I was coding 4 dimensional math.  My roommate a few weeks ago was describing the fourth dimension as a cube within a cube, connected at the corners and folding in on itself.  I always considered the fourth dimension to be time.  I'm not sure I ever coded a 3 dimensional collision detection, but I realized that you would just do it with the perpendicular plane and then take the closest hit.  My mind certainly isn't in all the details of it right now.  I'm simply enjoying showing some of my work and perhaps it will spark someone else's interest.  I guess my art work doesn't fall into a clean boundary of illustration.  There is a thing about adopting a theme though.  You've got to work with something in an OOP world.

      That’s so wonderful! I’m glad to hear that mono-therapy worked for you! But Thank you, I’m def trusting the process and seeing where it leads. 😊     That’s really kind of you to say all of that. It makes me feel better that the plan I’m sticking with is unique to me as every plan each and every one of us is on is unique. And yes, I absolutely echo your sentiments about communicating clearly and openly with my provider if something doesn’t feel right or not working. Very good advice! 😊   I told my provider at the appointment that my plan was to do mono-therapy once my levels were good. She said when that time comes it will definitely be considered, but for now it’s getting my levels where they need to be is her main concern.

      I have done enough acting to know that you can play stupid characters and brilliant characters on stage or screen and still be your authentic Putz of a self on the city streets

      We have been asked to make our membership aware of the following Research Study.   Hi, my name is Aidan Graves, and I am a part of the Yamashiro Collective Memory at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Our lab is currently running a research project on how different generations of gay and trans individuals generally think about their memories as well as gay and trans life experiences in general. We are looking for volunteers to interview and we would love your participation. We have a form we can send you for people who are interested to read about and sign up for an interview with one of our researchers. Thank you for your time, and have a great summer!

      @Adrianna Danielle, I’m happy things are going well for you and your boyfriend!   A late second coffee may be in order, but over my first I had a call with my boss. I guess he wants to keep me limping along for a couple more weeks so maybe I can find a job—and not have to tell people he’s laying me (and others) off. I guess my responsibilities will be solely as lead generation. Alone that is a thankless and exhausting job, but add that to a move and trying to find new employment…   I guess it’s one more paycheck; I can’t resign without giving up unemployment benefits (I assume), so it’s dialing for dollars for the next couple weeks between getting shot down by AI application filters and trying to sell my house! 🤪

      Everyone’s path is unique to them. What works amazing for one person may not work well for another (one reason why this forum has rules against sharing dosage information). So, each of us are experimenting in a way. Just create a plan, including options for changing things up if that plan is causing harm or not working, communicate openly and clearly with your provider, and stick with it. Body changes won’t happen overnight, so it’s good to remember you have time.   💜
