I note and I am saddened, that some of my dear friends, or I guess more appropriately Members, incase some of them take offence to being called a friend, have moved on from LP. I wish you all a prosperous and peaceful journey. :friends:

Huggs, :wub:

Sadly Joann that is the nature of this site, many folks come on here, find what their looking for (or not) and move on. Transition by it's very nature lends it's self to this behavior, some stick around however to help others, we all make this site special...

Finding friends is hard. Finding work even harder. Playing on the internet, so easy. I love the internet sometimes. Yet it feels so lonely to me. Still, internet you my only friend :) <3

Funny thing for me is that since transitioning and being comfortable with myself deep down I have had more people want to be friends than ever before in my life. As an introvert-and it;s not trans but just they way I'm made I believe, Had to take every new personality and psych test that came along when I was a social worker so we understood them and the interpretation better and they all pegged me as an introvert, Funny none ever got the trans thing but I did go around saying I had a man's brain in a woman's body so maybe that was why it never brought up any flags. But though I love people and made helping people my life's work they drain rather than energize me and I need lots of time alone. Have more people want to be friends than I can actually make room for in my life.

Employment I don't know about first hand since I am retired but think it would actually be better once it reached interview stage because I am comfortable with myself now as never before. Sure a little leery about how people will react to trans but that is far, far less than the just never feeling right before.

For a long time the internet was the only place I was real. Now I struggle to keep it a part of a real life that is increasingly crowded. Time works many wonders.

Woke from another dream I had of her. It made me realize just how angry I am at her. Lead me on for months and months then drop me for no freaking reason? I hate you so much. I really am just furious and I know I can do better than her it just hurts because of the emotion and love I put into the relationship.

Everyday i go to the same coffee shop in the morning before work(I'm there now) and i have noticed that the way that i am treated here has changed a bit.I started coming here a long time ago(just after i started Hrt) and was always treated nice of course,but here there are two style mugs you get your coffee in. One is more of a guy style and the other is of the more fem.Just in the last couple days i notice that my mug has changed,no longer called sir(thank god) and the girls behide the counter have been greating me in a different way.Hard to explain but it was always like a more agressive greating,now it's more of a lets have a conversation for a minute wile i make your drink sorta thing. More smiles,and umm..well like we have known each other for years thing.

I started coming here dressed in a more male way,but over the last 6-7 months as i have started transition i have slowly changed my clothing style,hair,ect. This has really effected the way i am treated here and i am happy about it. I am beginning to believe that they have figured out what is going on,but have accepted me as not only a customer,but another women that comes in for her morning coffee.

Today a new girl started and of course she didn't know me. She did greet me nice but gave me a up and down look.Seconds later i noticed that the manager(a guy) call her to the back and exchanged words with her. I went back to get a refill and her attitude totally changed and it was as if i was just accepted into a secret club or something.. I love how i am getting nothing but positive reactions, not only at the coffee shop,but threwout the city i live in. There is no name calling,no picking fights,just friendly people.

There is no secret to how i act,walk,talk,sit. I act like myself and don't make a big deal about my transition. I don't draw attention to myself in any way. In closing,i do think that by me being who i am, everyone has seen that i am just another person living life.My mindset is this.. In the reality of things,YES i am transgender,but i don't see it this way. I'm just another women in the world and you or anyone else can't bring me down,and i won't let it happen.

oprah winfrey has this great quote that i live by every day and has made such a impact to my life it is just hard to fathom..Live by it, and see how your life will change to the point that it will blow your mind.....

" surround yourself with people that are going to take you higher"

oprah winfrey

have a great day and god bless

Well, the disturbance in the force seems to be settling. It seems I will be studying a diploma in counselling with Angel. 18 months full time study plus 200 hours of vocational placement.

Now to tell my boss. Studies begin Monday.

If the introduction today was anything to go by, this is going to be difficult. Both educationally and personally.

Still, I think this is going to be good for me, on many different levels. I think I'm actually happy.

Love

Tamar

It also occured to me that I'm going to have to come out sometime during the course, as things are already nigh on impossible to conceal. I honestly can't think of a better place to do so. :)

Might have to resume my job hunt. I feel like at 26 I should know what I want to do with my life (aside from transitioning), but I still haven't found the one thing I'm good at.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.

      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.
