 It's a beautiful mornin'
I think I'll go outside a while,
An just smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine and you got the time.
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.

 

Cool, a bit windy but sunny and clear.  What a great day to be alive even if my dysphoria is running rampant right now.  Really feeling the need to take another step forward.  Good thing I have an appointment with my therapist this week.

Another great day today was. Not only coming out to my wife but just being able to enjoy. Just waiting for my evening coffee, now.

Good morning all. I was up early this morning, coffee and breakfast over all before 8.  It used to be daily, but I am getting lazy these days :D

Well chilly here so the coffee is good and warming. Still on the high from yesterday of a totally understanding and supportive wife. Although dreading work today. as it is our annual inventory, which will totally suck rotten apples. As management I will be doing discrepancies. Oh joy

 

Have a great day, all.

 

Hugs,

Hi everyone!  Another beautiful day here.  No breeze, perfect blue sky.  Birds are singing.  Coffee was good this morning as it got a little chilly overnight.  I had to toss a a quilt on the bed.  

 

Kymmie i I don’t envy you taking inventory I had over 40 years of inventories.  Some went well, some didn’t .  Mostly clerical errors that I had to find and fix.

Good morning everyone. I'm drinking my extra large coffee as I wait for my wife's doctors appointment to end. I just got back from a week away in Provincetown, Massachusetts at Fantasia Fair. I had a great time and connected with some new friends. Today is day 14 of my new phase of life. I am so grateful I am living full time as my authentic self. It's great to be me! 

Enjoy your day! 

Hugs & Smiles

CONGRATS, Julie.

 

Hoping one day I will make it where you are. First hurdle is done. but the race is far from over. Have my last session with one of my counselors today. She is moving out of town. She has started a referral so I can continue to see a gender specialist. Maybe get on HRT. ?

 

Hugs all

Julie, A little off topic. Being from London, ONT. CA. I wonder if you know of a little town (May not be so little anymore) south of London Called, Lambeth?

Good morning Kymmie. I live five minutes from Lambeth. It is now part of London. It has grown a bit but is still small. It was annexed into London a number of years ago. 

 Now I'm going to have a quick shower then head over to Archie's restaurant on Wellington Rd for breakfast on my own. It's time all the girls met Julie. They have great coffee there.

Well i'm about to get a second cup.  Happy birthday Gizmo.  Best to Julie enjoy Archie's.  Enjoy the Alps RGA.  I used to love Earl Grey.

The plumbing was frustrating.  Fixed one leak.....found another so i never made the woods.  Hopefully today i'll be down there setting up for sugar season.  A year of branches breaking as well as time itself makes for a great many repairs.  

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone had my one cup for the day.  Another fine day here.  Hard to believe a few short weeks ago we were having a hurricane followed by flooding.

I usually go through a couple of pots of coffee in the morning (small carafe's). 

 

Rained a little over night here, Indian summer has faded, we had a nice dry spell and warm afternoons, very nice, still nice fall colors here, the wind expected with the next system will drop and scatter many leaves.

 

Enjoy your day everyone.

Just finished enjoying my breakfast at Archie's in London, Ontario. ?

I'm texting to say that the wonderful waitresses who have known me as male for most of the past 28 years are not only accepting, they are very happy for me. I'm feeling pretty good about coming and introducing them to the new and improved me! Now to finish my 5th coffee and then go shopping!

This is me enjoying another 1st... breakfast at a well know, familiar breakfast haunt for my wife and I. She'll have an interesting breakfast next time she's in.

Well the thermometer outside shows a cold 48. So coffee is a must this AM. Working today, closing . Ugh. Luckily on Nov 4 we start closing at 8.

 

Julie, reason I asked. My grandparents lived in Lambeth. On the street leading to the Ice rink. On the top of the hill.

hi,  I've been awake for hours today.  Much earlier than normal.  You see today is the third anniversary (if you can call it that) of the death of my 7 year old Granddaughter.  She died from Childhood Cancer/Brain tumor.  She managed to fight for 18 months, through 3 brain surgeries, Chemo, Proton radiation, standard radiation and still a tumor that has a high cure success rate became very aggressive in her case.  she was finally accepted into an experimental treatment with the caution that it had been known to be both good and bad 50-50.  She was in the bad group.  we had 8 more weeks with her.

 

For all of you that see the advertisements asking for support for St Judes, I would like to share with you one simple fact.  They had the doctor with the highest success rate for her type of cancer and yet couldn't even be bothered to answer my daughters letters and pleas for help.  The rest of what they say about never paying them is true but honestly that is not typically the parents main concern, they just want their child to live.

 

It's going to be a tough day around here, good thing I already have a therapy appointment.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?
    • KatieSC
      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.
    • KatieSC
      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.
