Hi all, a bit more about the story - I just realised the first message didn't tell you much! It's called 'Going Out', set in the UK, and it's by me, Nicola Atherton, if you search Amazon. Have a little read of the first two chapters which are there for free in the 'Look Inside' bit. It's a lovely long read, a gradual, detailed, emotional story which I’m sure some will find at times painfully raw, while at other times unbearably exciting. I wrote it for us lot :) It starts off as a gradual, realistic intro into Amy’s solitary world, before she accepts what she’s always known to be true. She makes friends with girls and meets men, and her story plays out in a way that others have said they enjoyed very much. I think you'll all love it :) PAPERACK copy.pdf -

Wow! Hopefully that encounter is amicable! I can only imagine what might be going through your mind right now! I was a bit of a prude, I don't even need a whole hand of fingers to count my sexual partners on. Good old fear-based Catholic "sex ed" did its number on me. I get nervous walking into men's rooms. I don't look the part for the either restroom these days, I guess. I did use the women's at the convention I volunteered at (the restrooms were temporarily made gender free though), it was nice having a stall to use without waiting. The whole bathroom debate is so stupid. Genital-based restroom assignments aren't going to stop people intending abuse and there are laws for handling them already. It's the fear the laws strike and the conditions they creates is the problem, fomenting distrust and hate. Who cares who is in the stall next to you? Let them pee in peace! -

Good morning! Just finishing my delayed coffee after fasting for routine bloodwork. Just had my annual physical and I came out to my Dr. He was so kind and said if/when I want to start HRT they have a couple endocrinologists who specialize in transition and he could give me a referral. So nice! Not quite ready to jump into that yet, but he was so understanding. Another small step in my social transition. I feel so happy! 😊 -

Not a quote, but a poem; "Invictus," by William Henley. I had it hanging on the wall of my office for many years. "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." -

I am ambidextrous. I learned to write righty in school so I usually write with my right hand but my handwriting is better if I use my left hand. I use a lefty mouse. I am physically stronger in my left side. -

Easy, I have felt the same way, not quite to the point of wanting to quit but sitting there one dosing morning and thinking "what am I doing?". I am in a crazy place right now; family is moving across the country, I am being laid off for the first time in my career and have to find a new job, and I'm in the middle of this gender journey that seems like it makes everything harder than it could be. I'd always been a "man with boobs", even when I was in my 20s and really skinny I had breast tissue, and now I'm accepting of that and want more but in a different way--I don't want to be a man with boobs, I want something different. I am something different, but it's hard because of nearly a half-century of social programing. So I empathize with your struggle, very directly. I haven't dressed "male" for nearly six months and I just volunteered at a conference with my femme nickname and she/her pronouns on my name lanyard. The whole experience was great, I didn't feel a minute of anxiety or worry. That stuff comes at home, when left to my thoughts. Which is more telling? The comfort being Mae in public or the doubts and worry in private? When I look in the mirror and see this more feminine me, it calms down the doubts and worry, so I'm starting to allow myself to trust in the former. -

Totally! I started HRT 21 months ago. I'm 53yo now. I mostly did not want the feminine genes of my family to take me over. I told my doctor I wanted athletic breasts. She has kept me on fairly low doses and I'm avoiding progesterone so far. It's mostly mental for me. Taking the pressure off from not having erections is soothing and changes my thinking. I just want that stuff gone. I had fun with it, but I'm over it. I'm extremely happy with what has happened with my breasts. Perhaps it took more than a year, but they have a feminine, athletic appearance now. I don't notice changes in the rest of my body. I've always enjoyed being thin and straight and have no desire for curves. I can dig that butch with a feminine touch look. I was upset at cutting my hair, but I'm liking it now. It's fun to see all these young transwomen in my environment. Everyone has their own style and the younger generation has a style of their own compared to us older people. OK, back to baking a pie and doing some knitting....
