Hello I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Jillian Marie and I live in Olympia Washington. I am a MTF 40 years old and just now starting transistioning allthough i have known since I was around 5 or 6 years old. I spent the last 20 years in the military and this delayed my transistioning. Now once I am free I can start my life as it no longer will be on hold. I hope to get to know many good friends here and I look forward to talking to everyone.

thank you

Jillian

Hi Jillian,

I'm 57 and about to start transitioning. My life has been on hold fo absolutely no good reason that I can find other than I was really determined to stay in the denial phose!

Olympia? As I recall you are right on the end of sound and not that far from Takoma, which is across the sound from Gig Harbor. That is of importance for two reasons - one is the famous Takoma Narrows Bridge collapse (The footage was unbelievable) and I have a friend who had her SRS in December who just so happens to live there. Waited even longer than I did to transition.

I'll talk to her in the next couple of days, she might be able to put you in touch with a lot of people you should know in the area (Therapists, Endocronologists and support groups to name a few. I'll help you two get together if she is interested in helping out (that will be dependent on her health more than anything else)

Love ya,

Sally

That would be great, I just moved to Washington about a year ago and I have yet to meat anyone really. Yes Olympia is rith at the tip of the sound, I am about 25 miles from Tacoma. I have an apointment with a Therapist Febuary 10th that I found through reading some of the web sites devoted to helping Transgendered. She is suppose to be an expert in helping girls so I am hoping my first meeting with her will go well.

Thank you all for the refreshments you know how to make a girl feel welcome.

Hi Jillian! Big congratulations on your transitioning! Thank you for your service to our country (the same goes for all our vets out there). I"m so happy you will become the person you really are. When I read about people transforming their lives for the better like you are I always start to cry :D That gets embarassing at work. w00t!

Big hug,

Irielle

Thank you for the welcome, sorry I made you cry. I have shed a tear or two myself since I have finely been able to start my walk down the path to living as my true self. But it looks like Uncle Sam has more plans for me I guess I did not get my paperwork in soon enough and so it looks like I will be going on another trip to the great sandbox. I dont look at it like it as a setback as much as its my chance to lose a few pounds. Last time I was over there I lost around 50 pounds this time I hope to lose the same. I will just have to make sure once I get back that my retirement paperwork gets processed and I will finely be free.

Jillian - don't worry about me crying cuz they are tears of joy. I'm sorry you have to go back overseas. I am SO terrible with paperwork myself - always late. Be careful and come home safely!!! I hope you can visit us here even though you will be overseas. :)

Donna Jean

Irielle

My friend used to be in this support group before her surgery, she admits to being a bit opinionated and left the group over a disagreement knowing that she will never change.

http://www.southsoundgender.com

She also said to give you her E-mail address because she has a bookclub that meets at her house - I will send you that in a PM (Laura's Policy to keep E-mails private). you might be able to make one before you leave.

Remember to tell her Sally sent you.

Love ya,

Sally

      Sounds like time for a new Body Technician hopefully one that is actually a Doctor Of Medicine, this one you describe is short of that mark.

      I've been seeing my new treating doctor for quite some time now, whenever I'm advised to make an appointment. When it comes to seeing a new treating doctor, hard part is starting all over again building trust between patient and doctor. On my first day seeing my new treating doctor, before I could say anything else to her, she explained to me I needed to be completely honest with her. I kind of expected that type of patient profiling response from her, since she doesn't specialize in intersex care. Anyway, I sat down in the chair as I explained to my new doctor, I don't have all of my hospital records, certain records from my childhood and teenager years are mysteriously missing regarding a surgery. After my examination was over, she disregarded or showed no interest in searching for my missing medical records, but instead she blamed me for how I take care of my health today.

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ  Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath.
