I Wondered If

Well it's finally happened, I had to go get some bobby pins today. The sides of my hair are finally long enough that their favorite place to end up was in my eyes. This was annoying enough at the best of times but when I was driving no way so its time to pin it back so that cannot happen. Its a small thing but one more step on the road.

Eight months from off the ears and off the collar to nearly shoulder length in the back and the sides at my jaw bone, I want it shoulder length all the way round before I'm done.

Hey, Joanna...your hair sounds as if it's getting to be a good length! COOL!

I use bobby pins, too...keeps the stragglers out of my eyes (and food)...

Shoulder length will look good on you!

HUGGS!

Congrats on another small step for you. Next step is shoulder length hair and then beyond that depending on the hair style you are going for. I started letting my hair grow out and it is in the not long enough stage in the back to control it stage. It is curling up like always. That is why in guy mode I always kept it short. Know I have something to grow it out for. :D

Love,

Sarah F

Ya know I wanted it long back in the 70's but it wouldnt grow... guess it was too much T in my system

Joanna.....

Back in the early 70's I let my hair grow...it got to be about 18" in the first two years....

It hasn't grown an inch more in the last 40 years.....

What's with that?

I have no idea how hair grows and why it does so much better for some than others but I do know that your hair and nails parallel each other because it is the same material.

My hair went from off the collar in June to well beyond shoulder length all of the way around and my nails are very long and strong.

Those pictures in Memphis in my gallery showed my hair just three months after the short cut.

Love ya,

Sally

Sister, Nails???? Lets not even go there, I think even with sally hansen on them the only way im going to get good nails is to pay a salon for them.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      Glad to hear it. Abby

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!

      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer
    • April Marie
      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer
