Tractor Supply!

One of my favorite places to shop in my town...so, you have one, too....

Ah...go in and enjoy the smell of the feed, the salt licks....

Look through the cowboy hats, jeans, flannel tops....

I go there to buy squeeky tennis orbs for my dog, get my drive belts and fencing!

Oh and the cool stuff at the check out counter...Saturday I saw them selling a product that was in a tube like "Chap Stick" called "Chicken Poop"....says that it keeps you from licking your lips!

Always a good day to shop there!

So I called my mom yesterday in a panic because the stupid counseling center didn't seem to know when the LGBT group was and I had skipped a class to go. So my mom knew I was going to a group for counselling. (BTW, I was given misinformation, the group hasn't even started yet even though I called them and asked and they said it had.) So she looked up what groups my school offered. So when I couldn't tell her, I told her to guess, and she guessed Lesbian. I told her, "exploring my gender identity."

Well, she took it well. I'm glad she understands the reason I'm still confused is because I can't simply say, "I'm a guy trapped in a female body." I... feel different... but maybe not like that. And she said she does have her coworker that has transitioned from MtF, and the friend of the family that is a masculine lesbian, so she can always get me in touch with them.

One of the most important things is now I can get some individual counseling, because since I'm on her insurance, I was going to have to tell her something eventually.

My stomach has been in knots and I've been feeling sick since yesterday, since she told me to call back, but we kept missing each other's calls until today finally.

I finally feel better. At least... a little better.

You should feel better - that level of support would have had me walking on my ceiling.

Your mother is more concerned about your well being than she is about appearances - good for her.

And that is even better for you, she is willing to help you find yourself and that is priceless.

Love ya,

Sally

That is really good news. It is so hard to tell your family ANYTHING, and to explain gender dysphoria - oh my! HOW is that possible. But you have it done - or at least started. So take a deep breath and resume your life until the next crisis.

That is great news.

Having the support of your family will make so much difference for you.

And the relief of having it done and oveer with will really help your stress level too.

I'm happy for you.

I just wanna say thanks to everyone who made my day today. Yall are great.

I'd name names, but there's too many to list. But anyway, thanks. Yall managed to get a smile out of me even though i'm in all this pain.

Oh, and at the store today, some girl and (i assume) her mom were shoppin together. and i was standin there lookin at motor oil, but the me and the girl just happened to share a glance and i overheard the girl's mom say "wow you cant keep lookin over there huh?" then i guess she saw me and said "oh yeahhh, he's kinda cute ain't he?" (i was standin back turned to their side of the isle, and they were standin with their backs turnt to my side of the isle.)

So that put me in a good mood too. lol.

i recently found out i have an older half brother that was put up for adoption

That had to be quite a shock.

How are you feeling about it?

I cant sleep. sad.gif

I went for a drive down the dirt road and saw 3 deer, one huge buck. musta been a 12 point, and of course, didnt have the gun with me. (DOH!)

But i have a lot on my mind. ...too much. and its causin me to have a dang headache. (Dee Jay add that dang to the fee im buildin up. I have some spare change somewhere to pay ya with. lol.)

Half of it is school related. The more i think about it, the more id like to go into law enforcement. Not a cop, but a game warden. But i like the web design idea as well. So im kinda stuck. Im thinkin i really wanna go into law enforcement though. Im gonna call my enrollment advisor tomorrow to see what programs i maybe can switch to that are policing/crim. justice related.

Rest of it is life stuff. Everything from finding a job to lack of love.

*sigh*

Ok, i guess will attempt another shot at sleepin.

Night y'all.

got ahold of my school. i can still change majors thankfully. And i can choose what sciences i take, so that i get the proper courses required for conservation rangers (game warden).

Just fill out a form and pick my schedule and TA DA! i get a change of major.

As far as feelin better, i do a little. Still takin it easy, and dang am i bored. ... and depressed. (long story)

...Im goin to do school work. Be back tomorrow.

Aw Colton-I hate to hear you're depressed! But it happens to all of us.

If you feel like telling that long story you know we'd be glad to listen-and I think the girls will probably give you lots of hugs and pampering whether you chose to talk about it or not. and from last night's post I'd guess you're tired which makes everything seem worse.

I'm glad you're feeling better-and still taking it easy. Being inactive when you're not used to it can lead you to feel down too. It'll be better soon.

And being able to change your major so easily is great. Sounds like the outdoor game warden life would realy suit you.

Take care*gives a manly pat on the back*

Ah well i have worrying news.

Most of yall know that im located down here in southeast ga. more on the coastal side of things.

Well, its hurricane season here, and we have a hurricane.

A BIG hurricane. Category 4. and well developed. the forecast track has it headin for the carolinas, but they say its wobblin some kinda bad, and it could "tilt" off track, and head straight for us. nonetheless, wherever this thing goes we are gonna feel it in some way because of its size.

Ive seen the damage the tail end of a tropical storm can do to this area. but a cat. 4 storm? thats a whole nother ball game.

Heres a local news article about "Earl" and the other storms brewin in the atlantic. the article has a picture of the forecast track and size/location of the storm.

for reference, im bout 50 miles north of jacksonville. give or take a few.

Anyway y'all please keep the east coast in your thoughts and prayers. there is still gonna be damage done no matter where and how hard it hits.

Are you going to stay put, Colton, or head to higher ground? If you riding it out, you got your water, food and batteries?

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
