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?

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      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. 
    • Vidanjali
      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 ).
