3 Mon HRT and I Want To Cry


Guest Kontessa

Recommended Posts

Guest Kontessa

It is no longer a dream....a fantasy of mine....it is really happening....and I am so happy that I want to cry! After all these years about thinking and wishing that I could physically change my appearance to be the individual that I always dreamt to be is finally happening, and I shout to the world...."Ready or not, here I come!"

I started my trasition rather late in life because of personal and family issues - I'm now a young, vibrant 66 year-old with her whole new life to look forward to. With that behind me, I can only looked forward to new things to come.

Today is my THIRD MONTH ANNIVERSARY of being on prescription HRT and I am very content so far. Not only are some of the physical changes are becoming more apparant as time goes by.... I have also noticed other, less obvious ones also. I am more at ease with myself, not as aggressive or as competitve as I am more understanding and aware of my surroundings. Noticing the little things in life that I always took for granted in the past. My senses seem to be hieghtened, more aware of my surrounding and being rather than just going thru the motions of life.

I do not know if any of this makes sense, or not, to anybody but does to me....and that is what I feel counts! I had tried fighting this (GD) all of my life....but IT NEVER GOES AWAY! Being true to myself, and my inner most feelings, has freed me to be the peson I want and need to be. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are the steps towards making me feel whole,,,,being able to live comfortablely with myself.

As long as you are alive - IT IS NEVER TOO LATE! LIFE IS A GREAT ADVENTURE! BE A PART OF IT! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND MAY ALL OF YOUR DREAMS AND WISHES COME TRUE! I KNOW THEY ARE FOR ME!!!

Many hugs and best wishes to all!

Kontessa honey I am so happy for you, to finally be able to realize your life's dream is truly awesome. I just started my HRT yesterday and am simply ecstatic. I agree with you, it's never too late. I will be 55 next Wednesday and I couldn't be happier that I am on my way to realizing my dream!

Hi Kontessa, I'm in the same age range and started HRT 4 + months ago. The positive perspective change and finally finding peace, calmness was also my experience. I describe it as lifting of the fog. My ex wife loves the new me with the mental changes and so do I. The physical side is happening much faster than I thought, and hiding the breast growth is becoming difficult. I never thought at my age I would exhibit such growth - I still run a major financial group and I am in stealth for at least another year.

I used to fear that it was too late for me to start...and I'm 28. If I've learned anything on these boards it's that it truly never is too late to start :)

Having been on hormones a little longer than some of the rest of you I can say that from day one, and still, it seems like after years of a slow starvation of our souls we are at last getting a full spiritual meal when we start on hormones. I am another one on the high side of 65 and like Konnie, it is a truly new beginning of life even with the so called "age reduced effectiveness" of the Estrogen and "terminal testosterone poisoning" that we have gone through. All of us can have the peace of mind and happiness that Konnie has now, and I'd send her a whole case of Kleenex, but I just used it up myself just thinking about it.

Congratulations and continued happiness there doll!! You and all of us deserve it.

Hi Konnie,

Thank you for sharing!

Your feelings are shared by many of us, that HRT has miraculous properties, and that life begins anew.

I am so happy for you that you have had the opportunity to experience your rebirth. Happy birthday!!!

Love, Megan

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks.

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.

      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.

      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.
