Kia Ora,

:rolleyes: For the M2Fs in transition...

:unsure: If somebody calls you a 'B.I.T.C.H' or 'silly cow' or the likes, would you be offended :angry: or take it as a form of complement [an 'affirmation' of their acceptance of your true gender identity :groupwavereversed::ThanxSmiley: ]?

There's always at lease two ways of looking at things...

:rolleyes: "Life at times can be a real 'beach' and I love it! :groupwavereversed:

Kia Ora, Zenda

Context is everything, hon. I love to kid around, and I can be playfully sarcastic, as those who know me around this site can well attest.

So I don't have a thin skin. How I would react would depend on the words, but even more on the context in which they were said.

HUGS

I don't take it as a compliment, but I'm pleased nonetheless. I call myself the b-word all the time lol.

Isn't the connotation less about size with the phrase "silly cow" in British countries?

I always understood it to imply obstinate stupidity rather than volume or girth.

Thanks Penelope! I read a lot of books by Brits and that was more the impression I got.

Funny how connotations can be different even though the language is predominately the same.

My wife and her BF have called each other B's since I've known them. Now in the past few months she and I have taken to calling each other that. Guess if I'm offended in the slightest.

Kia Ora,

:rolleyes: In the UK[especially in London where I'm originally from] and also both here in NZ and also Australia, "Silly Cow' is often used when I woman does something wrong[makes a mistake]or "she's an ol cow!" if a woman is being nasty towards someone or "Poor Cow!" if she's having problems...Cow just means female..

hehe, i had a chuckle reading this one... on the other side of the trans spectrum - if my girl gets moody and calls me a penis or an ****** i feel validated as a guy. perhaps it is silly but i prefer the male insult to being called the b word any day. ;)

To tell the truth I have been called so many names in my life that I just don't really pay much attention to what people call me anymore - getting older and my hearing is becoming less acute - not so bad really.

Love ya,

Sally

      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.

      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.

      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 ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
