I just got off the phone with my therapist. Finally I got the courage to ask him point blank if I'd be able to start T in September. By September my sticky "life circumstances" will be sorted and I'll be free and clear. He said that he didn't see any reason why that couldn't happen. He told me that I seemed to have a good handle on things and that he would write me the letter. We're going to talk more about my T/chest surgery timeline next week.

OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Now 2 months seems like forever.

DID I MENTION THAT I AM SO EXCITED?!!

This is the happiest day of my life!!

Well, the day I actually start T might be happier...but for now, this takes it.

COOL!!!!!

I'm happy for you!!!

I'll be starting at the end of the month as soon as I know what's going on in gyno land. The only reason we're waiting is to see when I can get my dang hysto, which I hope can be ASAP. I see the gyno Weds.

Congrats man, I had to ask my therapist straight out I think mainly for her to get the idea that I was serious and didn't want to just wait around. Haha, just wait till you have the script in your hand, and then the t in your butt :P Best feelings in the world.

Hey guys, so get this. After I posted this, I had to drive home. Let us just say that I was...happy. For me, my happiness is positively correlated with both driving speed and music volume. Yeah, I was driving fast and blaring some System of a Down. Next thing I know I see the old blue lights in my rear view mirror. I pull over. When the cop comes up, I am uber polite and call the guy sir even though he only looks about 22 or 23 and I am waaaay older than that. Well not way older, but ya'll get the point. When getting pulled over, my strategy with the police is not to make excuses and just take your lumps. In this case, I was definitely speeding (just shy of 20 over...ouch) and I also definitely took a right on red when there was a sign saying that you can't do that. My mind just wasn't on what I was doing. Yeah, it was actually kind of embarrassing to get busted for driving like a bonehead at my age. Anyway, so I hand over my license and the cop goes back to his car. When he comes back he says "I'm going to cut you a break tonight". My heart is pounding at this point. Then he tells me that the two tickets I would have gotten would have been for about $500. Narrow escape!! The T gods were smiling on me I guess...

The moral (or morals) of this story is...even when you are really, really happy, be responsible with your driving. Also, when you get pulled over, don't give the cop excuses and be really, really polite. Also, before last night, I hadn't been pulled over for anything since like 1995 so that probably helped too.

Congrats Stranded. :D

I am also going to ask my therapyst if I can start it within the next 2 months as well. I am much more comfortable with myself and my masculinity. Woot!!! You must feel overjoyed. Lets have a party and celebrate. :rolleyes:

Tabe,

I am so totally down with all that stuff, especially the B.O.! It's awesome to get in touch with my "earthier" side. No doubt, you'll be able to join me soon enough!

Don't forget to include "Body hair where you'd never think you'd have it" on that list.

Totally true. I've got longer chest hair and darker right in the middle of my chest...and a small trail leading down. Totally didn't think I'd get that, oorrrr even the darker (and I mean dark) hair on my arms and shoulders. I stink so much more now :P

As for me, back to needing to lose frickin 30 lbs again.

Do you have to be of a certain weight to get T? I worry about this because I am significantly overweight and it's a genetic problem that my family has. It's Gosh darned near impossible to lose weight.

Well, I'm only 15, and I needa be at at the most 180 lbs before my doctor gives me the ok.

It sucks, cuz even me knowing I'll get T and be healthier and get a nice body and whatever isn't enough to get me going on this.

I don't see the reason they are making you do that, but if it gets you the T letter then I guess you should just "play ball", so to speak. I've been trying to lose weight too, mostly in preparation for chest surgery. For the longest, I'd bust butt doing cardio (running, rowing machine, etc...). All that stuff helped, but what really worked for me was weight lifting. This has been true for others I've talked to as well. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest.

For me, it is easier to get motivated to lift weights. It's also fun to see that you are getting stronger! :D

Dude, get Body For Life by Bill Phillips. Drool over the pics, or ignore them. Either way though the book is hugely inspirational and motivational and gets you on the right track starting from WHERE YOU ARE PHYSICALLY. It's not for muscleheads but for the average Joe and doesn't require expensive equipment OR supplements or anything. You can do it at home in 20-45 minutes a day, so no flopping tumors to expose to the neighbors.

PLUS, it really works. I've done it in the past and I"m doing it now (on week 2). Plus there is online support at bodyforlife.com in the guestbook. I can't say enough good things about it.

If your parents have or will buy a gym membership, just use the elliptical machine. It doesn't jar the tumors as much. My tumors are large and unruly, so I know about these things.

Also, my friends are saying good things about Wii Fit. I'm a DDR man myself. At one point I lost about 20 pounds because I was obsessed with DDR before I got obsessed with Guitar Hero. BTW, Guitar Hero will not help with weight loss...quite the opposite.

I wouldn't go running in my neighborhood either. I feel ya bro.

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.

      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
