Good for you Lizzie:

You are the Gold standard for many of us. In a couple of years Lizzie, I promise to post a photo of me as well, with no make up. Just the real me. I should have done this so many years ago. I've raised my two kids and I'm legally separated from my wife. Now their is just me to take care of. I wish my child psychologist were still alive. I would dearly love to show him that despite all his slurs and derogatory names, I stayed true to myself Lizzie You are as beautiful outside as you are inside. Thank you for being so many people's friend. Kathryn

Looking great Lizzy! I think you passed the test a while back. Pencils down! With your surgery coming up you're not taking any tests anymore. Soon you'll be living the dream and the reality.

Thank you Lizzy! I wish you many many more happy months of HRT!

*Hugs*

Hey, Lady!

What's fer supper?

No doubt about it, that HRT can really do miracles. You are 'there', and I say that without hesitation...

Very nice, Lizzy, you must be very pleased, very pleased indeed!

I am sooo happy for you!

Love, love and more love, Svenna

Yes, Lizzy looks that good all of the time (although some days she battles with her hair - tangles).

And in answer to what she was holding, that was two loafs of Amish Friendship bread - fantastic!

She also brought a loaf of an Artisan bread that was almost too pretty to eat -almost because it tastes even better than it looks.

I still think of her as my older sister and that is a pretty good thing.

Love ya,

Sally

I am so happy you made it this far Lizzy. My GP told me that after three years, reading me as a male will be rare. I see that in you. You are a 100% Bona fide woman. No question about it.

Love,

Jenny

Homemade 'friendship bread' - its made from a bread culture I keep alive in a crock. It's an AMISH thing supposedly, you make a yeast culture and pass it on to you neighbors, along with some baked loaves. It's fairly simple to make and it's like keeping house plants except it is harder to kill. My yeast culture I affectionately call Fletchie - named (sorta) after Fleischmann's Yeast.

She is a pretty and dainty yeast - well behaved and appreciative of the sugar, milk and flour booster I give her each month.

The bread? The secret is a large packet of vanilla pudding mix and TONS of cinnamon! PM if you want the rest-a-pea. This particular bread in the photograph has a cup of pecan halves mixed in. I also sometimes add cranberries and cherries. MUCH better than fruit cake! Whoa! But similar taste with it's dessert flavor.

The occasion was a potluck supper for the Equality Riders - a USA-wide group of young people - LGBT oriented - that travel on a real bus to schools and colleges that are identified as not that LGBT friendly. They were visiting New Orleans.

Blurred photo, but is shows us working. Sally took this:

Hi Lizzie,

Wow! :D You look great! Must feel great to you!

Nice, too, that DeeJay and Sally express their deepest appreciation for you!

Both are lucky to have you in their daily lives.

Sally claims you as a sister! You are both lucky on that count!

I want to thank you for all you do, all you share, with all of us!

You truly have a sweet heart, made of gold!

Heartfelt And Infinite Love and Gratitude,

Brad

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha
