Thanks for the link, the comments that answered the article really illustrate the terrible ignorance we have in the world

She is beautiful. We are all there in our own ways. Carry that beauty if you can.

too bad about all the comments these guys need a life or something.

Amanda

I'm getting to the point where whenever i see a link to an article I instantly associate it with a comments section drenched in hate. Will people ever get a life? :mad:

I hope she does very well. She deserves it and it would be a big "in your face!" to all the haters out there!

I Hope she wins that would be great.

Amanda

Yes it would, and then there would be those that would claim she won on the publicity of her personal story. She is beautiful, I hope beauty wins.

Hi Amanda,

I saw that comment in the National Post and I wondered if it was someone from Laura's! Good for you---there were some really immature comments on there. This is the latest update on the pageant. Jenna made it to # 12--there are some photos with the link as well as a little info on her story: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1181401--transgendered-contestant-jenna-talackova-cracks-top-12-at-miss-universe-canada-pageant?bn=1

Since this one is from the Toronto Star, there are no comments there---that's a good thing because when people can post anonymously they usually behave like idiots.

i think that there is alot of ignnorance towards us ,i am tired of it. Had one woman complain about my gramour. i just passed english in school and it was 26 years ago. i wrote in one guys post that if you call jenna a it thing or what ever you should call your self that first shes a human being. she didn't win but has made us all very visible and that we face so much discrimination.

      Good morning! Just finishing my delayed coffee after fasting for routine bloodwork.   Just had my annual physical and I came out to my Dr. He was so kind and said if/when I want to start HRT they have a couple endocrinologists who specialize in transition and he could give me a referral. So nice! Not quite ready to jump into that yet, but he was so understanding. Another small step in my social transition. I feel so happy! 😊

      They seem to think that if they pretend we don't exist, we won't.

      I am ambidextrous. I learned to write righty in school so I usually write with my right hand but my handwriting is better if I use my left hand. I use a lefty mouse. I am physically stronger in my left side.

      Easy, I have felt the same way, not quite to the point of wanting to quit but sitting there one dosing morning and thinking "what am I doing?". I am in a crazy place right now; family is moving across the country, I am being laid off for the first time in my career and have to find a new job, and I'm in the middle of this gender journey that seems like it makes everything harder than it could be. I'd always been a "man with boobs", even when I was in my 20s and really skinny I had breast tissue, and now I'm accepting of that and want more but in a different way--I don't want to be a man with boobs, I want something different. I am something different, but it's hard because of nearly a half-century of social programing. So I empathize with your struggle, very directly.   I haven't dressed "male" for nearly six months and I just volunteered at a conference with my femme nickname and she/her pronouns on my name lanyard. The whole experience was great, I didn't feel a minute of anxiety or worry. That stuff comes at home, when left to my thoughts. Which is more telling? The comfort being Mae in public or the doubts and worry in private?   When I look in the mirror and see this more feminine me, it calms down the doubts and worry, so I'm starting to allow myself to trust in the former.

      Totally!  I started HRT 21 months ago.  I'm 53yo now.  I mostly did not want the feminine genes of my family to take me over.  I told my doctor I wanted athletic breasts.  She has kept me on fairly low doses and I'm avoiding progesterone so far.   It's mostly mental for me.  Taking the pressure off from not having erections is soothing and changes my thinking.  I just want that stuff gone.  I had fun with it, but I'm over it.   I'm extremely happy with what has happened with my breasts.  Perhaps it took more than a year, but they have a feminine, athletic appearance now.  I don't notice changes in the rest of my body.  I've always enjoyed being thin and straight and have no desire for curves.  I can dig that butch with a feminine touch look.  I was upset at cutting my hair, but I'm liking it now.   It's fun to see all these young transwomen in my environment.  Everyone has their own style and the younger generation has a style of their own compared to us older people.   OK, back to baking a pie and doing some knitting....

      I have one daughter who is left handed.  But she is fairly ambidextrous.  Apparently you have to be.

      The time I spent "on the street" was mostly in the woods.  I dislike cities.  Even now my "bathroom" is out in the back yard, and has been for years.  When you're used to it, it's not so bad.  Helps one keep up with the seasons. I have no desire to live on the street in a city. Most of my adult kids live in cities.  It's nice enough for a visit, but I still prefer the country.

      It's amazing how we can use either hand to write with, not too many people can do that.
