I'm feeling guilty reading about all the cold temps, rain and snow some of you are having.  I'm enjoying a coffee, the sun is finally up, and it's gonna be in the low to mid-70's in most areas here today.  But don't worry, we'll be "punished" for the beautiful day with temps all the way down in the mid to low 50's overnight.  LOL

Well, so much for Planned Parenthood.  They just called me and canceled my appointment.

Good afternoon!

 

I am very slow today. I think, due to the cold I have and pre Christmas depression, it was after nine before I even woke up. Just catching up, but I had to move when my stepson visiteda short while ago  to exchange presents (rapid wrapping ?).

 

Have a lovely day everyone.

But you're up and moving!  ?  If we were all to pack into planes, trains and automobiles and come visit you, what's your favorite place you'd take us to?

Didn't have any coffee today.  I now have an appointment but not with Planned Parenthood and not until March.  Oh well, I just have to wait a while longer.

 

Have a great day everyone.

A tricky one that, at first thought as there are many things here. There are the historical sites such as the big cathedral (it can be seen from a large area, many miles away,  due to its position), castle and Roman remains in Lincoln itself. There are many more little gems of historical interest out in the beautiful countryside, mostly known of by locals or experts. There are the military bases which are at the forefront of local and NATO defense.  There are many old bases now unused as well.

 

It would be nice to get out on bikes for a ride out into the countryside, to get the flavour of things. Many things are withing cycling distance, and the cross country ride is pleasant and quiet.

 

I think that the thing I have recently realised that I love most though is my garden. I was only pondering your question as I was glancing out of the kitchen window when making my mid-morning coffee, and saw a blackbird tucking into one of the apples still on the tree. The beauty of the natural world. When we moved in the garden was a bare patch of earth. Now it is a living entity with plants, animals and birds living together as they should. It may look a little rough, but it's beautiful!

You should post some pics of your garden. I would love to see it. I'm in California. GB is on another planet.

 

Nearly all my favorite Band are British. I love the progressive rock that y'all produce over there. Yes, Genesis, Muse to name just three. There are dozens going back to mid 60s!

Big hugs and love!

Coffee came from McDonalds this morning then 500 miles driving.  Got to my daughters house safe and sound. No traffic to speak of until the last 5 miles.  We’ll be here for 10 days.  

 

Biking in the English countryside sounds great..  spent a week walking and riding trains in Scotland last summer

OK Coffee is not on, not yet.  But the turkey is in the oven for a slow roast for (much) later today.  Happy holidays all, however you celebrate.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all. Coffee and home made cinnamon rolls.  I made the family stuffing last night so it had time for the flavors to meld.  Turkey is in the oven. Presents have been opened. Everyone was happy.

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.

      It’s a huge difference, the laser has done wonders. I still have some stragglers, but I hope a few more sessions to try to zap those. Mostly what’s left are the white/blonde hairs, they still need a shave but they don’t really cause me much dysphoria.   I do use makeup, I barely go out without liner and mascara these days. Don’t tend to do a full face, but when I go for a little coverage I use tinted moisturizer and a little concealer under setting powder. Here’s me today, with about as much makeup as I go out with (forgive me the wings, I struggled today…), I went and got my hair done, so I had to look good for the ladies.

      This is me as well. I wear dresses and skirts exclusively.  That is pretty obvious.  When I get misgendered, it's not by mistake.

      I'm glad to hear it! Fruits and veggies time! I just had a greek yogurt with flax meal and blueberries and now I'm feeling better about that! I am so glad you're OK!   Just finished my second cup of coffee after an appointment with my normal stylist, I haven't see her since November! First time see her since going femme full time. I'd texted her before the appointment, just in case, but she has been super sweet the whole time. Not much hair ended up on the floor, but I'm going to need the back trimmed before long but for now I just got some shaping done.   Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that. My guess is your neighbor won't be paying the medical bill...

      Doubt it, most people against the T are also against the LGB, I am bi and it all seems to intersect one way or another. Trans people are "new" in the eyes of the public so its just a weird thing for them all.
    • Penrose-Pauling
      I have the same feeling as you. I often wish I had started HRT earlier or was on puberty blockers, maybe I could have been taller than 5'7. But there's nothing you can do about it now, that's life and as much as it sucks and seems pointless at times you have to work with what you are given. "Passing isn't the end all be all" I hear a lot but to me it is everything, as much as that may sound like an insane position It is just how I feel.   Anyway, on the topic of your mother, mine had the same sentiment and mostly still does along with my father. Im not sure how old you are but you seem to be around my age or younger, I am 17. But most families don't know how to deal with it and they will probably see you as your original gender no matter what you do. Their comments mean nothing really because in the end when adulthood rolls around you can just leave or at least have some independence from them.   I would also not compare yourself to other males, it will eat you alive. I just remind myself that I will get there, maybe I won't be the pillar of masculinity but ill pass one day. Envy is the thief of happiness or something like that.

      I can never find coffee that matches good restaurants coffee.  The closest iv come so far was when I accidentally made a pot last week with less water than I had meant to use.  But that still wasn’t right.  Now I’ve heard put a little salt in with the ground coffee or add baking soda but I have no clue how much to use.   home baked pie in the local cafe is the best, but the best Key Lime pie was from a place called The Fish House in Key Largo. One thing they do differently is the topping is meringue not whipped cream. But it’s also made from real key limes.  An advantage of being in the keys.   willow

      They have unleashed the hounds toward every less than perfectly, and idealistically feminine Cis woman in the state to be sued for not looking the way a plaintiff thinks they should look.
