Outing to my best guy friend tomorrow - he hasn't seen me in three-four months. Should be interesting!

Lizzy

Good luck, Sweetie.....

All my thoughts will be with you for this....

Interesting = understatement

I am in all sorts of limbo right now: gender limbo, relationship limbo, country-of-residence limbo, education limbo, career limbo, possibly more.

So what's my good thing? I just realized that it would be hilarious to rename a certain part of my anatomy the 'limbo stick'.

Also, I'm good at bad jokes again. This skill is very important to me, and I was quite concerned when I seemed to have lost it for most of the last year.

Also, one hundred posts?

Bad jokes are very important. If there were no bad jokes, how would we know the good jokes were good?

I'm just happy because I just finished my final exam for my fourth semester in my grad school program. I have three weeks off, but I have enough work to do for school though. I have five more semesters to go and then graduation in December 2010. So I'm almost half-way through my program.

Hmm, good things in life. Well, despite not feeling too good about a lot of things recently, I do know that I have a supporting family as well as friends, who all just want to help me out. I just need to try and stay positive ^_^

I had a home invasion/raid by my ex and her family with a moving truck coming for her stuff - a phone call with only a five minute warning - they didn't want any witnesses - they didn't take too much that they had no right o and if I can't get any of it back it is a low price to be rid of them.

I have decided to view this as they have settled - when they left I found her wedding band on my night stand - looks like its finally over, I hope!

Why is this a good thing?

Because my wonderful friedns here PMed and called me and cheered me up.

My mother took me to dinner and did not make a mention of my transsexuality either way so there was no tensin, just caring and comfort, just what I needed - there is that silver lining again!

Love ya,

Sally

Wonderful things, indeed, Sally! You're finally getting a resolution to the marriage thing and I do know how much you want to get out from under that! Good for you, Sweetheart!

My good thing is that I got "Ladied" twice this weekend ....and I'm feeling awesome!....lol

Unstopable now!

Sally,Way to turn a potentially depressing and angry situation into a positive forward step.

My good thing is I came out to my best friend and his wife and there were tears of joy from them and a one hour phone conversation from Florida....

And Also D.J. is passing now and ready for the LADIE"S ROOM :D

Well....I got some more extra money today. Also go a bunch of stuff in order. Have to send in one more thing and then my name change papers should come in. Then I can start changing all my bank/school/exc over to it.

Been feeling really laid back this weekend. Going to go work out and make some food now.

I'm going out to town for tea this evening then catching up with a few friends afterwards. :)

BTW a tourist who approached me on Thirsday night adressed me as 'miss' when he asked me a question. It didn't even bother him when he heard my voice either, I thought that was really cool! :)

I started writing a piece for orchestra yesterday. This is going to be something big, I haven't composed in too long.

In addition, I found a place to live next year: it's a house with five-bedrooms and an impressively large kitchen, and all of us living there next year like the same music. It's official, I guess it's back to the USA for a while.

hmm.. well i've been picking up a lot more shifts at work, which is definitely a good thing... because in this society, money is necessary :rolleyes: but it also means that i have almost zero social life and am barely able to be active on the forums... take the good with the bad i guess *shrugs* :)

my first appointment with a gender specialist is today at one!! :D :D :D

OMG, Naomi!

Now THAT is truly wonderful news! Good luck Honey...let it all out....

It scared me at first, but once I started talking, I couldn't shut up!!

Now I look forward to it every week! My therapist probably says "Oh God, there she goes again!"...lol

But now I'm letting out half a century of stuff! (Sounds like a long time when you say it that way!)

This is great news, Sweetheart! I'm really so happy for you! Let us know how it went....OK?

That makes me very happy too! :D

Work has been coming in very slowly for me this year so I took a very small wedding for Saturday, just a few hours - today I got a call to shoot a dance competition with 102 performances - jus speculations, but parents buy that sort of thing - so I am going to start it off, my assistant will shoot while I am away at the wedding and I'll come back to finish it up. Everything for sale on the Internet and I am plitting the profits with my assistant - it could be nothing or it could be a gold mine!

People have found my studio's number! :lol:

Love ya,

Sally

Lots of good thing happened today :D

I had another appointment with the psychologist who I've been talking to about this gender stuff, which was good. On top of that, I got a referral from her to an endocrinologist so I can start taking a testosterone blocker :D

And then after that I went shopping and now have some new clothes to wear. So yay! Good stuff for me today ^_^

I feel like I've been a stranger since I've been so busy with real life lately. I've collected a bunch of good things in the last week:

1. The federal government owes me a refund big enough to cover my total top surgery and then some. That'll be scheduled some time this winter. I can't be taking time off from my reenacting season.

2. I aced my fourth semester in grad school and in about six semesters weeks (eight weeks real life) I'll be half-way done.

3. I survived the appraisal on my house which included fixing and painting the porch and installing a stair banister (looks really good for a first-timer). The appraiser is the same kind of crazy as me and half of the appraisal we were talking about the government.

2. I spent two days (yesterday and the day before) having a mini-vacation: an overnight camping trip into the 1880's in a cabin with no electricity, no running water in the middle of nowhere. I got up yesterday morning from sleeping in front of a fire to hear owls and sand hill cranes. We went riding and kicked up deer, turkey, and coyote.

Whew. A busy eight days if I do say so myself.

A very good thing is that my friend Jackson is back and having a run of good luck! :)

I got through yesterday and no way today could possibly be as bad, could it?

Love ya,

Sally

I got two new kitties from an animal shelter a week ago, they seem to hide all day and come out at night, my friend calls them the vampire kitties from outer space :lol: , the woman from the shelter called the other day and was pleased they were doing so good.

      My experience is very similar to yours, Sally.  When I first started to socially transition I thought 'blending in' was the best approach.  It did not work AT ... ALL.  I was misgendered so often. So now I try to feminize as much as my wardrobe (and time) allows.  For 'girls' my age I believe I am far more fashionable than other women.  So, lately I have been much more successful at 'passing'. But also like you, I am not really trying to fool people.  I expect they assume I am Trans and I just hope they respect my femininity and my humanity.

      congratulations easyE. :) I'm guessing with declared endgame will hover m maybe reconsider end game as they, we go along   congrats dear. I'm happy fir you

      Actually, they did back at the times of the AIDS pandemic in the 80's.  Some of my slightly older than I am Gay friends were beaten up and thrown out of gender correct restrooms back then. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.
    • Davie
      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
    • KathyLauren
      Oops.  Sorry, @AmandaJoy, I see you have already posted an introduction. 
    • KathyLauren
      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!
