Hello,

So on the night of Nov. 30 I started HrT. I took my antiandrogen, took a shower came out and slapped on my first transdermal estradiol patch. Everything so far is probably psycho-semantic but the last two days at work I've been in the zone. Before my mind would wander and derail itself and decrease my productivity but now I am in a constant state of doing a billion things at once efficiently!

I also seem to have mellowed out some about driving. I still get frustrated/annoyed when in traffic but the magnitude is now at a normal human level instead of RAAAAWWWWRRRR SUPER RAGE! Could be an affect of anti-androgens but I think more so it would be an affect of no longer having to worry about starting hrt 'cause I am on it already.

Now I just want to go to CVS tomorrow and get some tegaderm which is a clear water proof adhesive that can be put over patches so they stay on and it would make shower time less stressful since I wouldn't have to worry if soap would detach my patch.

Figured I'd just pop in and give a little update. I'm gonna go back to playing Skyrim and lighting people on fire and beating them up. Maybe I will even kill a dragon! ^_^

For me it was more a sense of relief. There wasn't much of an emotional change, as much as thank you, I finally made it. Now as to rage while driving....... If you have to drive on 95, 91, or 84 in Connecticut then that is understandable. After all most people on those roads aren't even from here.

I wish you the best of luck,

Grats on getting your hrt started! Hope you have potty breaks planned into your skyrim time.

Lol, isn't the lighting them on fire part the best! It's more fun to do it with fire breath I think ;)

Congrats, Orva! Woot! :score:

Punch that ticket and hop on board the Womanhood Express, girl. The train is leaving the station.

There are good things to come, girl. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks everyone!

Well my driving rage happens on CT-15. Yay for parkways that need to be rebult. I actually had an adventure on 34 into New Haven to I-91 just to not stew on the parkway, don't think I really saved time but at least I was moving the whole time.

I'm being titrated up in anti-androgen dosage. Right now it is low so I haven't really noticed the diuretic affect. I won't really know what is going on until after the first blood work which I need to reschedule since I started later than anticipated. And now, sleeps!

Hello,

So on the night of Nov. 30 I started HrT. I took my antiandrogen, took a shower came out and slapped on my first transdermal estradiol patch. Everything so far is probably psycho-somatic but the last two days at work I've been in the zone.

I thought the same when I started. But that was in early 2004 and I still feel great. I guess it's permanent in my case :)

Congratulations on starting HRT!

I started on patches to, but I changed to a different method because the patches were peeling off all the time (exercise, showering).

      Welcome Cynthia   Glad you found us. For me having a safe place to share my journey towards self acceptance was so helpful. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm new here and I just wanted to introduce myself! I'm Ali, I'm 17 and I am genderfluid. My pronouns at the time of writing this are He/they but mainly pronouns I use are She/ he/ they/ it. Its a pleasure to meet you all!   Thank you for reading! Ali ❤️

      There's many words to describe the same idea -- excellent, good, amazing, incredible, great, and other synonyms, for example. It's a shame that some people can't realize that the reason that so many words exist is that it's the human experience; There's a million ways to feel the same exact thing, or to express it. That includes gender. Not everyone wants to express their gender the same way, trans or no. If we try to say in order to be trans, you have to do a, b, and c, you deny all those "flavors" and "hues" that make up the human experience.   That's just my five cents, though

      I also play guitar, not very well though and dabble in writing poems and songs. It is a very peaceful way to relax.        💗 Cynthia

      I think the first thing may be to realize we have shared interests and shared opposition.  I read an article not long ago by someone who decided to non-op and non-hrt and her transgender friends basically decided she was a traitor and not really trans and had no right to speak on trans issues.  She said many trans people say you aren't really trans unless you do the whole surgical route and legal, etc.  Some insist on the gender binary, others insist on a spectrum.  There must be an agreement to disagree.  Not all of us here have the same viewpoint or the same experience or the same condition.  But we can identify common interests, like walking into a public restroom without fear of arrest, or the right to medical care.    The divisions are severe, heart-felt, and real, but from a practical point of view we need to lay some of those aside when we can for the common interest.  Some of those we cannot lay aside because of personal integrity, but we can work across the aisle, so to speak, something sadly lacking in the public arena today.

      Thanks Vicky!  I made a mistake with my topic heading, I consider myself as a Lady but I know that not everyone here thinks that way so I apologize for that.   I should say Hi everyone!! 💗 Cynthia

      Welcome to the Forums Cynthia.   We do have gentlemen here as well who are some of the nicest guys you can get to know.
    • VickySGV
      @Mirrabooka@Abigail Genevieve Let's not neglect the severe divisions within the Trans and NB sector as well along those lines.  Where we have Non Op & Non HRT and Cross Dressers, Gender Benders, Gender Fluid, Agender et al VS. the full surgical route takers with GCS, FFS, BA and vocal surgery,   Which of those segments gets to speak for the others?  How do we turn them into a cohesive force for good just among those nominally under the Trans shade tree??

      Hi, I am Cynthia, 62 year old lifelong crossdresser.  I have been dressing off and on for as long as I can remember. In the last ten years or so I have noticed that my dressing has become a major part of my life, I went through all of the purging and confusion and I came out feeling more like a woman every day.  Self acceptance is very powerful if you truly accept who you are.    Over the last few years I have built a nice wardrobe and now spend about 80% of the time as my true self. I only wear male clothing when visiting with family and running errands. I don’t know if I am trans or not, all I know is that I absolutely love myself as a woman and that’s how I feel about myself, that I am Cynthia.   I love wearing makeup, dresses and jewelry, it feels so good and natural to me.     I am thankful to have found this special place and look forward to being a part of this beautiful community!!  I hope to learn about myself and also to participate and interact daily and to help others in their journey as well.    If I could I would absolutely live full time as a woman and hopefully with help and encourage I will one day fulfill this dream. I love being a woman and thinking of myself this way. I’ve never thought much about my pronouns but I definitely like she/her for myself!!   Thanks for reading and I look forward to being here and sharing with you all!!     💗 Cynthia

      Good morning Felix,   I don't know how aware you are of the motives behind Military Boot Camp, but the most important thing it's designed to do is break you down, physically and mentally, weeding out those who can't make it. If you really want to be a Marine after you graduate high school? Stop believing you do things better when you're high. Clean your lungs by filling them with the fresh air of cross country running. Start small, run around the block, then around the track, then from your house to the track. Run everywhere! Run, run, run, and then when you can't go any further. Run some more. Do this feeling like you're going into Boot Camp in top physical condition, and your training will still break you down. That's what it's designed to do, and you'll earn the right to be called a Marine. The best thing about your wishes to become a Marine, is that it's something you can surely do with a proper mindset. Yes, it's very physical, but most of all it's mental. My brother-in-law is a retired Marine, and I love his stories ranging from his time in boot camp, to his time as a drill instructor. These conversations are not started by him. They're usually started by my nephew who is also a Marine. I can't say enough how proud I am of my family and friends who have or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. I will be equity proud of you too.   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was always playing the boy in house, and I HATED wearing dresses. I used to dress up super masc and go out to dinner to just make sure I could still pass as a boy. I thought of it as a game but.. uh.. nope.

      I took Maybelline's quiz https://www.maybelline.com/babelline-makeup-personality-quiz and I'm "Perfectly Practical" when it comes to makeup.    I carry three things in my makeup bag in my purse that I use any or all depending on my mood.    1) Maybelline magic eraser/concealer. Pretty much a liquid foundation/concealer in lipstick-sized package with built-in sponge applicator. It rules.    2) Maybelline mascara primer. It's the subtlest of enhancements, yet makes me feel confident in my eye communication.    3) Subtle lipstick in a natural/nude shade. Very slight enhancement that again, is mostly for how I feel.    -Timi
