Hi, Tracey. Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forum. Kathy -

Ivy, that's probably excusable for someone who isn't trans; it could be simple ignorance. But when it comes from within our own community, it is kind of shocking. Hugs, Sally -

Thankfully, Ashley she didn't return after that one time. I have the conference organizers to thank for that, as they push inclusion and acceptance. I like to think this particular person got the message about her views being bigoted. Of course it's possible she took her message somewhere else, where she wasn't challenged. Davie, you are too kind. Hugs to you my friend. -

Mae, I would be happy to share the PowerPoint presentation I used with you or anyone anyone who think they could benefit from it. Even though I presented at Keystone, the content is still mine. Perhaps I could post the material here or make it a blog. Interestingly, the conference organizers always pick a wide variety of topics to ensure there is something for everyone. The workshop committee used my presentation (and others) to ensure the workshop didn't reflect only transition related topics. -

I am curious if anyone else has had an issue wearing panties. After awhile I find that my dangly's tend to get a bit sensitive after a few days of wearing them and I'll stop for a while so they don't get sore. This is so annoying, I want to wear panties more often. I have tried going up a size (which helps, but not alot). I've also seen a doctor, he said everything is well. Any advice would be welcome -

Hello everyone. My name is Tracey. I'm extremely open minded. I'll just say that. -

I have not been in a discussion group in years. Please bare with me. I'm considering FFS Facial Feminization Surgery and breasts enlargement. I'm 58. I am in Canada and planning to go to Montreal for the FFS. I am 58 but didn't transition until I was 46. My idea for me and my body and mental health is to be and look more feminine. I believe that the FFS and breast enlargement is what I need and want. Sure my age is a factor but not for my mental health but for the physical. My health is not the greatest. But not bad either. I have had my bottom surgery February 15th 2017. I lost every one in my life from abandonment to death. Much more in between. I am alone in life. My daily life consists of waking up playing my games then tv then bed. I want to adopt 2 kitties. But if I'm to do this surgery I don't have a single person who can help. So this makes my life more difficult. Please stop by to say hello. Tracey -

I’ll bet you didn’t know that South Carolina has at least one and sometimes more earthquakes every month! And no fracking here. No wind mills either. But for some reason we make a lot of ethanol. We grow more trees than most but it’s all for paper and pole use. Cash crops are still cotton and tobacco. Used to be a big producer of rice now it’s more of a unique crop, Carolina gold. Pecans and peanuts are big too. Lots of fruits and vegetable farms. -

Whew you sure did put up with a lot of negativity! More power to you. Do you still have to deal with her? -

Geez sorry for the repeated text in my 2nd paragraph. I have no idea how that happened. Cheers. -

If your back hurts when you cycle you ought to consider getting your bike professionally adjusted at a bike shop. They will measure your body proportions, stride, knee angle, etc. to determine how best to adjust your saddle and handle bars. Sometimes even minor adjustments can make a huge difference. Unless you have health-based restrictions, I'd say ride as much as you like. But as stated above, first tIf your back hurts when you cycle you ought to consider getting your bike professionally adjusted at a bike shop. They will measure your body proportions, stride, knee angle, etc. to determine how best to adjust your saddle and handle bars. Sometimes even minor adjustments can make a huge difference. I used to be an avid cyclist. Not into group rides or speed, but I used to ride by myself for hours. It's very enjoyable. If you're looking to improve your cardio health, get a fitness tracker like a fitbit which tracks your heart rate. I do have health issues and for that reason no longer ride on the road. But I converted my bike into a stationary bike very easily with a magnet powered stand which was about 50 bucks. My physical therapist gave me a HIIT (high intensity interval training) schedule to follow tailored to one of my health issues. My case is specific and unfortunately it's a challenge for me to balance getting enough cardio exercise without pushing myself into post-exertional malaise. But I can share with you a general guidine to try to amp up your cardio tolerance. Determine your "recovery pace" and "base pace" heart rate. There are guidelines online you can find to figure that out based on your age, weight, and other qualities. Then track your heart rate as you ride and develop muscle memory for how much exertion corresponds to those paces. For example, base pace should feel like effort, but not strain. Recovery pace should feel easy, but like you're still in control of propelling the bike. In this way you'll develop better intuition for your bike's gears, especially at different inclines. Give yourself a 5 minute warm up to get your heart rate to the high end of your resting pace. Then alternate base pace (effort but no strain, keeping your heart rate within a higher range, but backing off if it gets too high) with resting pace (allowing heart rate to lower, but maintaining it just below the low end of base pace) in 4 minute intervals. Finish with 5 minutes cool down allowing your heart rate to lower towards the lower end of resting pace. If you try this type of HIIT routine, your basic workout can be 5 (warmup) +4 (base pace) +4 (resting pace) +4 (base pace) +5 (cool down) =22 minutes. Try it twice a week. Then as you develop endurance, add another 4+4 (resting followed by base) min pair before the cool down. I hope you are able to get your bike adjusted to be pain free & learn to enjoy cycling and enjoying better overall health. -

Well my day at work is done. It was a beautiful day here so far. Yes @Mirrabooka the United States is noted for the tornados and extreme destruction they cause. We have long wide open areas between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains where weather extremes have a chance to buildup. Even East of the Appalachians since those mountains are so old and eroded they aren’t very tall anymore. Geologist say that early in the history of our planet they were as tall as the tallest mountains on earth but now few reach 4000 feet. But they have no mercy for anything when they get going. Our continent has just about everything, earthquakes fire floods hurricanes mud slides rock slides, hurricanes blizzards drought dust storms just about everything thing nature can possibly through at us.
