This month I want to go to the LGBT Assembly on campus. I think I'll introduce myself as my male nickname, but I'm unsure what to say I am, because even though I know I'm an androgyne, I don't know how exactly I want to be perceived for the rest of my life... like what marker I want on my driver's license... but I'm tempted to just say I'm male, because I think I would prefer that than to be perceived female (though the campus's lack of gender neutral bathrooms, including where the assembly will be held, isn't cool). Or at the very least, I could see how that goes, since I'm used to hanging around all my friends that perceive me female, and it'd be nice to be perceived... not female.

Maybe if I'm lucky they just won't ask. At least, not directly. I don't know. It's just, I have a chance to introduce myself to people without the influence of any previous friends or family, so it's like a fresh start, but I don't know how to start. Kind of nervous about it all.

I'd really like to actually talk to some people, maybe get involved with LGBTQIAP events... instead of just... wandering around in the background like I tend to do in new and unfamiliar situations... =(

^_^ Sounds like the perfect opportunity to find out a little more about yourself. If you identify to them as androgyne, the door's still open to identify as male, if that would make you more comfortable. Either way, I hope you find where and how you're comfortable with other people.

JJ, you were overdue for a day like that. Hope they continue!

Am anxious about meeting a new doctor today and asking about HRT. Would at least like to get started on Spiro as my BP is still up, even with the med I have been taking.

Huggs all!

Thank you Micha! No Spiro yet, my BP decided to be fairly close to normal today. Did find a pretty sympathetic doctor today, but that is as about as far as it went.

Next week I may know more. Breathe in, breathe out, relax....

Just wanted to say Hi to everybody. It feels funny when I'm away even for a morning!

Dee Jay-I just bought probably 7 or 8 dozen huge mature moss rose plants for around my pond for $1.00 total and a couple of mature coxcombs for 1/2 that-I love bargains. They will be perfect for around the koi ponds!

I also got my first pairs of boxers!:D I'm inching down that road.

OMG! I'd LOVE to come and help you plant all of those moss roses...

But, you're on your own with the boxers.... :P

LOVE YOU!

Please do come help me plant!!

I looked at the size on the boxers wrong but they're the plaid kind and are apparently in style for girls as shorts-so my daughter is thrilled and wearing them w/ a long t-shirt as I type.

But I also found some bargain men's t-shirts and polos -and a pair of unisex Dr martins so I'm still a happy camper:D

not to mention we hit the farmer's market and will have fried green tomatoes and some baked okra for supper. A man there was so charmed by my granddaughter he insisted on giving her a watermelon! Wouldn't let us pay for it. That kind of thing used to happen all the time-in stores, restaurants, etc. but hasn't as much the past year or so. She has this charisma-kind of scary in a way.

And I had a half a big old honeydew melon for lunch.

Life is good today!!

Love you too!

Watch out for those thorns on those rose bushes!

Huggs and Hugs,

Opal

The thing about moss roses is there aren't any thorns and they like heat and don't have to be watered!

They're usually $5-$7 a plant here and I got probably 80 or more for $1. A once in a lifetime plant bargain I just stumbled onto where someone had just brought them in to the hospital auxiliary.

Not where I got the boxers-but they did have the new Dr Martins and tons of clothes just in for the whole family.

Some days just work and make up for the others when you want to turn off the phone and hide under the bed

I'm tired of being the good guy.

The guy people think is respectable and a good person.

Because I'm tired.

And I'm feeling short tempered and angry.

Nobody is ever really "the good guy" that way.

It's too big a burden to carry. You have the right to be angry, to make mistakes -to be human.

I believe from what I have seen here you have a wealth of wonderful qualities and are a very decent-and yes intrinsically good person-but I know because you are human you also have flaws and faults and are entitled to them.

You have the right to express that anger-short of harming someone else or yourself. In fact it's more than a right-it's an imperative because unexpressed anger will get you eventually and harm you.

So snap at a few people who will understand when you're sorry later and get some rest if you can The world is certainly a much darker place when you are tired.

Uh, ok, so i went out a limb and asked my long time best friend to be my girl just now.

Long story short, we kinda had somethin a couple years ago, i had to move. been kinda ehhh... since.

She wont come straight out and tell me if she wants it to go any father than what it is, although i feel like we both know there is more to it.

I made the mistake of hurting her one time too many (which was the 1st time), and i think she is just scared to put down those walls and give it a shot.

Idk what came over me just now. but i told her give me a straight answer tonight and i wont ask no more.

so wish me luck.

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha

      That's awesome!

      Claire shares the same first letter as my male name.  I tend to prefer shorter names to long ones, and this one seemed feminine to me without going overboard. I was inspired by Claire Danes, Claire Underwood, and Claire Dunphy (upon whom I always had an enormous crush ).  Plus, it just felt right. I don't know if Claire will be my final legal name, but it's stuck longer than the others I've tried on.

      I always loved Ashley. I named my 2006 Roush Mustang that too. I also had a crush to Ashley Force who races in NHRA.

      I'm the same (estradiol, no blockers) and for me, after 4 years, T levels naturally *decreased*. I'm at E&T levels of a postmenopausal woman.   Astrid

      Revealed: the super-rich fascist Maga lobbying group who is brain-washing the far-right policies of Trump and other Republicans.   Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members. A powerful, right-wing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides. The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). In 2021, the former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows joined CPI. Both Meadows and Mitchell were at the center of Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meadows was indicted in Georgia in August.    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/23/conservative-partnership-institute-republican-laws
