Great news, Sarah!

I know how you feel! A year ago my cholesterol was ~230 and my GP was talking about how I may want to consider statin drugs. I found this unacceptable and decided to change my lifestyle instead. A little more than a month ago when I got my HRT prescription my Internalist told me my cholesterol was a normal ~180. I was almost as thrilled about that as I was the prescriptions I walked out the door with.

...ok ok I wasn't nearly as thrilled about it, but it was great news lol

Congratulations on changing your health around for the better. When I was diagnosed with Type One diabetes, people would say how sorry they were that I had to start taking shots for the rest of my life. In actuality it was the best thing to happen to me in that I began to take my health seriously and to live a much healthier lifestyle.

I'm staring legal name change in the eye right now as well. It comes right after my divorce becomes final (this week maybe!!!) and right after I take a few bucks out of my home for a few surgical expenses I plan on having. And it might come in handy for the new passport I'm going to need to travel to Mexico for my surgery. And my doctor is writing a letter so that my gender will be female on my passport, Thank you Dr L. Changing your gender on your driver's license requires SRS first :mad: boo hiss. Missouri is still in the Dark Ages on most things. Why didn't I stay living in Colorado? So you go Sarah. BTW, I love your new Do. Kathryn

That's really awful! :( I really hope more states start to change that soon. In Colorado I just had to go to the DMV in person and request the specific form, and have them fill out, then get my doctor to sign it. So now when my name change is done I can take both into the DMV and have it all changed at once. Really kinda bugs me that some states still make these things such a hurdle for people. :(

Goodluck with your name change stuff! Ive heard that you can have your gender marker on your passport changed with out SRS now, so maybe consider that? Then you would have photo ID with the right gender marker! :)

Thanks I'm loving the new style, its wayyy more manageable than it was before. Though she took a flatiron to it, so much of my natural wavyness is gone! Oh well, I love the layered look way more anyways it's so much more grown up then the giant untamed mass of hair I was going with! :D lol

I love how my hair looks when it's just a bit misty or sprinkling for a minute outside. Perfect scrunch and looks awesome :D Haven't changed it in over a year! (Too bad it's too straight when it's really dry outside...)

      Maybe surface tension?   I was in a political debate yesterday and it got way too focused on social stuff and I just had to steer the conversation back to how natural gas transitions to a liquid under pressure.  One of the people I was debating had a career working in that field and it was a good opportunity to expose stuff like that.  He mentioned that it isn't just pressure, it is temperature too.  So then I mentioned how the lines are running underground and asked how that played a role in it.  He came back saying that natural gas is a liquid under pressure.  I guess I didn't get a straight answer on that, but it did move my thinking one step down the road.  Perhaps I should have been more direct with him and asked him at what temperature and pressure.  Is there a chart?   I feel people would be better off if they paid more attention to the objects in their environment instead of focusing on some of the things that we hear so much of in the news.  People are pretty clueless as to how much trigonometry plays a role in so many things in our society.  Even land surveyors don't really use it anymore because programmers locked it away in a function.  Much like how cascading style sheets (CSS) is a wrapper for math.  I wonder what former president Trump thinks about all of that?  He must have some knowledge of how his buildings are constructed, right?  There certainly is a part of me that thinks he is just putting on a show about all of this.  Perhaps I'm wrong though.  All kinds of people in the world.

      Me as well.  I can use my left hand for many tasks though.

      Hello Jennifer and welcome back.  I find New England to be a great place to live.  I have a number of acquaintances and friends in Maine and I love the state.  It seems you are doing well.     Hugs,  Jani

      Oh, my "maybe this person is an egg" story is the (male presenting) piercing person and I discussed body hair removal methods, he says he doesn't want any hair except on his head, which is what I said during a couple hair removal sessions before and just after the egg cracked.

      I, too, am lucky.  Here in the UK I have a great therapist, a fully supportive GP, and a psychiatrist and endo who look after me and my needs.  I found the therapist on Psychology Today.

      Over the last few years of being on this site and going through medical transition, I've come to own the M->F identification.  Funny, I made a typo of M->T.  It is a curiosity if I'll ever put Gender: Female on this site.  It is my intention to be there someday.   Right now, because of career stuff and a high stress event with an electric hair clipper last fall, I'm feeling much more masculine than I would like.  I think that once I make some decent headway with my third career, I'll settle into a more feminine feeling.   I never really considered gender very much.  I certainly always used a feminine appearance as my presentation goal. I think that when I was young, I briefly had the idea of transitioning, but I convinced myself quickly that medical transition would be a bad outcome, so I put all those feelings and ideas in the closet for decades.  I'm still very apprehensive about medical transition.  I've always taken health to be a high priority for me.  I wrote a book last December about my fears of it all and my conclusion ultimately is that sometimes there is more to life than being a pillar of health.  It's important to take some chances if that is where your heart takes you.

      Good morning and congratulations @MirandaBon getting your ears pierced. This opens up a new line of jewelry to buy and collect.    @KymmieLits ashamed that any employee would ever to post a sign like this.    Well Parker Von Schwinegruber not only got me up early, we enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the patio before the sun was up. Oh it was daylight but just barely. The second cup of coffee was in the recliner, and now I’m pinned here and need someone to pour my third cup.    It’s a dog’s life… Eat, play, go potty and sleep. Repeat to infinity ♾️    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thanks so much @Vidanjali,@Ivy, and @DonkeySocks She's stable now and going home Monday after tests and some observation time. So that's a positive relief.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads

      I adore the Bee Gees. There's no way that I could link all their great songs in the above post. To me though, this song of theirs is head and shoulders above everything else:
