A Few Updates

hey, everyone! i decided to just do a little, quick post on whats been going on with me and how things are changing...quickly yet excitedly :]

ive come out to a few more family members and a friend. the responses were accepting and supportive...so really amazing! just about a few more to tell and then im pretty set. i honestly feel sooo blessed and im so so soo thankful!

the last time i saw my therapist was two years ago but i had to stop because i, alone, couldnt afford to go as much as i needed to. but ive recently got in contact with her again and im seeing her this wednesday. and only for ten dollars. amazing! not only that, but i plan to do community work and look for job opportunities within the area (its the lgbt community of chicago basically)

im also getting my hair done! my sister's friend said she would do it for me so ill now have new hair. its going to be hair pieces sewn into my natural hair (it sounds painful but i know itll be worth it) and im getting this done because my hair grows all funny and weird so ill just do this for the time being. im thinking wavy and up to my chest area? but we'll seee!

im also going to do my transition in reverse - meaning live my life as a girl before getting the hormones. i think its usually done hormones and then real life but im doing the opposite. i thought about it and im good with the idea. i mean, i already pass as it is without hormones and mostly everyone i surround myself with knows and supports me in what i do. so why continue living my life as a boy and continue waiting to be me? but im still very impatient about getting hormones!

i think thats really all thats new with meee. so any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. thank youuu :]

Wow, lots of great stuff happening for you, Audrey. Congrats, girl!

You're right, its unusual to do RLE before getting hormones, but certainly not without precedent. Joanna Phipps did the same thing, although she didn't have a choice. It sounds like you have great confidence, and that counts for an awful lot.

I wish you all the best. Keep us posted, OK?

Ok....they aren't going to be sewn into your scalp, are they? OMG!

But, Audry...you have a lot going on and it's all good stuff...

So happy to hear it!

I think that's wonderful Audrey. I've gone out quite a bit as a female in RLE. You learn a lot this way. Although I can't go out full time per se, mainly because I have to present as male at work. Although in some ways I am close to full time. 95% of my clothes now are woman's clothes. I have a section for androgynous female clothes I need for work.

And congratulations on the support you find with family and friends. That means a lot. All I can say is enjoy your life sister and be yourself.

Love Jenny

Hi Audrey,

Sounds like you have a plan that should work for you.

DeeJay, maybe she means a hair weave. Extensions are sewn to hair that has been tightly braided at the scalp. I've known a number of young women that have had that done. It lasts with care for several months (possibly longer). The other choice is extensions which are glued or bonded to base of the hair.

Keep us updated with your progress!

Sweet Audrey Michelle,

What wonderful news! If you can live as the girl you truly are, why wait? You are very lucky to be able to do so.

Keep us posted on your progress. You're a ray of sunshine around here and we all need some of that.

Hugs of support,

Becky

Spill girlfriend! I've been waiting for hours. What did you think? Did you go femme? How was your session?

Kim

all was good! i presented myself as female and the only looks i got were from gay guys and then another transsexual (she eyed me up and down with such attitude, haha. she was just very rude in the building by yelling at everyone so i just rolled my eyes mentally and continued doing me, regardless of her stand offish presence) but anyways! i met with my therapist who i havent seen in like two years, caught her up, and now i have to get insurance to get my bloodwork and stuff done and then hormones!

everything went really well. i mean, i wanted to just be like "kk, give me the hormones now, please" but i guess im okay seeing as how im able to go out as female just finee

Well, that was a great report, Honey!

Now you can get your process going to get your HRT! Good on you....

And don't pay any attention to the rude ones....They come in every type, color, size and species!

HUGGS!

Was it a worker? I've always been treated nice but I could see the one woman there getting loud. Either way she was just jealous.

Kim

It was a client. She was just very defensive and outcasted herself while being rude, loud, and a diva

But I looooove the workers. The one girl with the music note tattooed on her hand is my favorite! I was considering some of those groups/meetings

Audrey, you have a wonderful attitude, and as long as you are able to go out as female that should work towards getting hormones sooner, rather than later.

Huggs,

Opal

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks.

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
    • DonkeySocks
      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.
