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:

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.

      No more talk

      By ClaireBloom · Posted

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      Finally Starting HRT

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
