9 month checkup and wonderful visit IRL w/KarenLyn

[Cyndee]

Just reflecting on yet another wonderful day here in trans mecca, life is good. I walked the streets as myself totally at ease, nobody seemed to even give me a 2nd glance, so nice to be real.

Saw my GP (Dr Woman) today for 9 month HRT checkup and evaluation. Doc was impressed with developments, it's full steam ahead, have to say feelin' good, and curves rock ! This Dr office is so friendly and laid back, I used to be so leary of anything "medical", not anymore with these folks. Everyone from the receptionist, to the nurse, to the Doc all go out of their way to address me as Cynthia, it's awesome.

Then after the Dr visit I had a very nice visit with Karen (KarenLyn here at LP). We met up for coffee at Starbucks this afternoon and it was fantastic to get to meet you in person Karen, thanks so much for coming over. Girls we had gotten to know each other a bit here on this board and this is someone close to my age, yet far ahead of me on this journey. I enjoyed the conversation immensely Karen, the time passed so quickly ! Let's do it again someday, ok ?

Hi Cindy,

Your day is coming! Or, it's here, any time you want! So good to hear the news, and, yes, can't wait to get together again!

Love, Megan

That Cindy!

Tell you what, homies: You should SEE Cynthia Rae ... live and in person ... She is curving and breasting out like it's nobody's business!!! Megan and I get such a kick out of watching Cindy BE Cindy ... * giggle * ... she's SUCH girl!!! Bliss City with her, baby ... all the way!!!

So, dang, Cindy and Megan, like what am I gonna do???

Like, I love, love, LOVE y'all (hey, man, 31 years in the deep south, ya know?), and, true, your city and state ARE Transmecca, U.S.A. To have such loving friends in such a hip place is just the best! I SOOO wanna be with all of you!

BUT !!!

I hate, hate, hate cold (or even cool) whether! The desert sun CALLS to me, honey!!! Overpowering heat, low humidity and two of the best C.O. resorts in America ... sigh ... what am I gonna do?!? Poolside ... sunscreen, shades, sandals and nothing else on ... 115 degrees in the shade ... most of the year ... DANG!!! Sigh ... !

Everybody:

Megan's gonna melt your minds, y'all! Stay tuned! That girl! I ain't sayin' squat! She's gotta say it, but she will ... she WILL! The Seattle Posse ... God, how I LOVE them!!!

You gals make me so jealous with your 'real life' en femme escapades and such!

Sounds like a simply wonderful day for y'all, very cool...

"Trans Mecca" you say? Hmmm...

Thanks Meg, you know what, your confidence and attitude is infectious. I recall one of my early outings as myself with you going to my first support meeting, and you saw the look on my face as I stepped out on these very same streets a little over a year ago and remarked "I had that deer in headlight look". Well I can say your attitude has given me the confidence to be myself in public, and it shows. Now a year later, I walk these very same streets as myself, and I feel great, people sense this confidence. I was early to my appointment yesterday as traffic was kind, you know I just had to walk around up there on Capitol hill for about a half an hour alone, just to take it in, to pass people and smile if their eyes met mine, to be part of society as myself, ya know I have just about worn out those same ballet flats now.

Dearest Svenna

There are many cities in the US that are accepting of us. This particular area I went to in downtown Seattle (Capitol Hill) is well known in the community, and it's quite lively out there, I feel totally at ease here in this mecca.

Hi Svenna,

We all have experienced the Deer in the Headlights effect. But in time, it fades. Once you're beyond that, let the real you shine, and the world is your oyster! All of the people I know live in suburbia, my neighborhood is heavily Islamic and a good mix of rednecks to boot. I am at home here, and in the backwoods logging towns. Mecca is something you can create where ever you are!

Love, Megan

I agree Dee Jay,

I as well enjoy reading of other's IRL experiences, this is life, this board mirrors and chronicles it.

Cindy,

Feeling totally at ease is a state of mind I also seek...

So glad to know it can be found somewhere for somebody like myself. That is encouraging!

Thanks for sharing!

Love, Svenna

This place! Gotta love it! We do!

So, yeah, I'm actually goin' to Seattle (mororless) ... any between Seattle and Tacoma. However, that does NOT mean I'm not going to talk The Posse into gathering a bunch of people on here together and hitting Caliente, baby!

Peace & Joy Lacey Lynne

[Guest KarenLyn]

I had a great time too. Just remind me not to walk the mile down from work for a visit. It's a good thing there was time before your appointment ended. I was soaked with perspiration! (men sweat, women perspire. Not sure where I heard that)

Next time I'll have to have Andi come too and make him pick up the tab.
