well its now been over a year of full time living as Joanna and in 15 days it will be a year on HRT. Things are still changing and I recently found out that it is totally possible for me to have a female type O and boy did that feel something special. No more male clothes in the closet and that feels good too, just to go through life and be the woman I am supposed to be. I have been job hunting as Joanna and my have actually found a job... wooo hoo.. it does help that up here we are a protected bunch federaly and provincially

Today in the laundry room here in the buiding three of us, all women, were standing having a chit chat and yep even at 4 feet im taken at face value and boy does that feel good.

Back in april or may of last year who would have thought that I would make it this far, or have been this successful....

yay me

I am so happy for you Joanna, (((((((HUGS))))))

It is so wonderful to hear that everything is falling in to place for you up in our home country.

Congratulations on the new job and that is fantastic news that you don't have to worry about passing anymore.

Hope someday I may be able to stop by and say Hi!

Dearest Jo,

I remember your first days full-time and you were truly an angry young woman with something to prove to the world.

I had just joined myself and was horrified that your Gender Team would NOT approve HRT until you'd completed some RLE with no hormones. This is the equivalent of not getting swimming lessons until you could make it across the pool first... :blink:

I watched in amazement and admiration as you did it. I remember your first day and how surprised you were that you made it as easily as you did. I watched each day get easier for you. You were a natural woman, clearly born in the wrong body, for you took to the role like a fish to water.

You were a primary inspiration to me to finally seek treatment for myself, which I finally did last Fall.

Your courage and determination make me look like a wishy-washy little girl. :)

Thank you for staying around some to help those of us who come behind you.

I wish you all the best, Big Sister. I'm right on your heels now.

Yay Jo B)

Warm, soft hugs,

Lil Sis,

Becky

It's definitely not unheard of. I'm going to have to start full time before HRT. There's just no way I'm going to wait that long to start living my life.

      Our Maltese daughter-in-law makes a very mean Bolognese sauce, which we combine with spiral pasta. We pulled some leftovers out of the freezer for tonight's meal.   Tomorrow night will be chicken Kiev, with potato segments baked in the same dish, accompanied with boiled peas and broccolini.

      I suspect some of these people are not primarily LGBTQ+ but primarily get their kicks by publicly shocking other people.  They take advantage of the parade and think they can get away with it year after year, and sometimes do.  Not just the parade, but sometimes other events that provide cover for them to act this way. They do a great deal of damage to perceptions by the public and by the legislators against us.

      I used to smoke many years ago.  Now it makes me sick on my stomach which I consider a plus.

      I use a electric kettle and a French press.   I am not a fan of Starbucks.  I sometimes go to a local coffeeshop, but am satisfied with your basic coffee and a scone.

      Many "red" or "blue" states are not monolithic.  NC splits something like 49-51.  Actually, about 1/3 Rep, 1/3 Dem, and 1/3 nonaffiliated.     Since the legislature makes the districts, they favor the Rep to a 1 vote super majority.  Our Governor is Dem, and Dems can win statewide elections.   Of course you'd never know that with what is coming out of the statehouse lately. My point is that the "shifting" is not really shifting, it only reflects the actual population of the state.   When I was growing up I used to hear it said that "changing her mind was a woman's prerogative."  I embrace that.  I am fine with changing my mind when I want to.  Things change, sometimes we need to change as well.  I don't consider that as "unstable" - just not dead yet.

      Good morning everyone,   I’ve been working on a few projects and my internet screen time has been very low. Today is Primary Election Day for Indian voters. I will be voting later, but the most important thing I’m looking forward to is the reduction of political advertising. Let’s get back to regular daytime advertising which reminds me of the need for hearing aids, Medicare choices, and comfortable catheters. Heaven forbid I would need an accident injury lawyer to get me the big check. Only daytime TV can take a 30 minute show from the 1980s and make it into an hour long series. I really don’t watch that much TV because I prefer to listen to music while I’m in the shop or doing yard work.    The coffee is good, the morning songbirds are loud as they forage for their hatches.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I pretty much started out what some would consider as the androgynous phase of childhood puberty. Being the youngest sibling in my family, I was mostly seen wearing boy clothes at the time. As I explained earlier about my parents not showing me my birth certificate until later on in life, in the meantime before that happened, my daddy always wanted a boy/son in the family. It's been a long time, when I first started menstruating, it was a turning point in my life, followed by a series of car ride returns to the emergency room, patient profiling, and misdiagnosis.      From that moment my parents had stopped saying I was going through a phase. One night at my parents' home during midnight hours, they thought I was asleep, but I saw their bedroom light was still turned on. Out of curiosity,  I tip toed to their bedroom's door as I listened in on their conversations, it was the first time I heard my parents questioned about the gender marker on my birth certificate wither a hidden variation involved in my development.
