Hi Ladies,

Well it's been a few weeks since you've heard from me. So I thought an update was in order. Lately I have been able to dress as much as possible as Stacy out in public. I bought myself breast forms for Christmas and they fit wonderfully; I've been able to buy style clothing I like and enjoy to wear. I plan on updating my profile pic here once I am able to have my wig. Which should be soon I hope. So just a small but big update from me..

Thanks for the update, Stacy. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you. I can tell you from personal experience how great it is to have a wig that you feel comfortable with and that looks natural. My wig is a part of me, and fits my personality. I hope you are as happy with yours.

HUGS

Just another part to this. I've been trying to be Stacy like all day everyday. Just need to get well 2 things. 1 is a recurring effect every 165 days if i do things right. the Recurring effect being breast form tapes. But again.. it's only recurring once every 165-170 days. Which is good. when in a bind. So I thought I'd update everyone again.

Well here's another update. I have my consultation meeting for HRT on Mach 5th. Though I do have some general questions for those who have fully transitioned.. Are you currently still taking Estrogen? Mom isn't as supportive as I originally thought. She has a hard time seeing me as woman.. She said she had three boys.. Not 2 boys and 1 girl. So going to have to work with her. But as for HRT i have my consult meeting on March 5th at 1:30 I think. Just unsure as to if there is a point in time when you stop taking Hormones all together.

Yes, hon. Everyone that I know who has had an orchie or GRS continues to take estrogen, although not Spiro or other T-blockers.

Here's a question.. One i'm really wondering what the best answer is...

When is it a good time to buy swimwear?

It's getting to be beach season and I haven't started HRT yet.. Hoping to within the next month. So when's a good time to be buying swimwear for the beach, as a close friend of mine wants me to tag along with her when she come to the local beach.

I have yet to start HRT.. Have been waiting for my therapist to fax over the letter of recommendation to my HRT doctor.. My psychiatrist and regular doctor got their paperwork to my HRT doctor in Madison. I find out more on Wednesday.

Just a quick update. I finally told my Bio dad i'm transitioning and he said he couldn't see it in me. but would try. he also mentioned that moving to Madison would be a good idea as the community is more open than the one i currently live in. Which is nothing I haven't considered but after calling around to apartment complexes i can afford, they all had between a 2-5 yr wait list. So I'm pretty much stuck in the town i'm in. Dad was the last person I wanted to tell as his support for me is kind of key. But I could have done without the reminder that my town isn't the best place to be for being transgendered. He also said that after raising two girls he didnt' see in me what he sees in them. Which in all reality he wouldn't, because those are things I have to learn to do so it will take some time.

On a better note, I'm more than likely moving into my own place this Christmas so I can finally be myself and have a place for myself. So I'll keep everyone updated as time goes on.

As a former resident of Wisconsin where I was born and raised, La Crosse is semi liberal, but I agree with your dad Madison Wisconsin is certainly the most liberal in Wisconsin. Minneapolis is equally as liberal as Madison Wis. Go somewhere you aren't known and just be yourself. College towns are easier to live in as young people are more accepting. Good luck on the rest of your life. Kathy

That is exciting! Hopefully you could leave with a prescription. Have you had a baseline blood test yet? Your doctor may want that and calling the office may save you a bit more waiting time.

Hugs,

Charlize

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly. 
    • Ashley0616
      I can understand that. My Keurig is used for hot water mostly and when my mom comes. I mostly use a regular coffee maker. I have had that for 5 years now. I had a Bunn but it didn't last long. I also have a French press and rarely use that. I would love to get a cappuccino maker but that is for later on. Starbucks is getting expensive. My kids favorite thing there is the cake pops. I found out that Walmart Neighborhood Market has them. Typical me getting off topic. lol

      Well, welcome M.A. Several of my now grown kids were involved in theater in school.  And one is now a graphic designer.

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.

      "The Health and Human Services Grants Regulation (HHS Grants Rule) Final Rule protects LGBTQI+ people by clarifying and reaffirming the prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex – including sexual orientation and gender identity – in specific health and human services programs, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v.

      Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "uplifting news" or "news" forum. This bill is pro-LGBTQ+, albeit 30 some odd years too late with 100s of thousands of lives lost throughout the AIDS crisis. The upshot is that ol' Ron has actually done some good for the community. That's really...something...although I doubt he sees it that way. And most importantly, greater access to screening and care will save many lives.   https://ncpa.org/newsroom/qam/2024/05/01/floridas-governor-signs-bill-expand-hiv-care

      Both of my parents were raised in WASP-ish families. What was or wasn't appropriate, with an emphasise on superficial appropriateness (conformity) was verbally beaten into me the second I hit puberty.   Which is really sad as I think back, and was bewildering at the time. I remember being really free to be expressive how I wanted to and then once I started puberty, all of that freedom disappeared and I didn't understand, at all.
