I get it. I'm in February (the 4th). I am so, so excited. The wait is finally almost over. I've been ready since we scheduled it. I'm guessing you're the same.

 

I'm so happy for you! You've got people who love you in your corner! Sounds like everything is coming up Debra!

 

Hugs!

We have a department pot luck tomorrow at the office. I just finished making a raspberry cheesecake with a dark chocolate drizzle. Looking forward to trying a bunch of different foods tomorrow. Gym clothes are in the wash now, as I know I’ll need them tomorrow after the pot luck. I hope everyone had a great weekend and can enjoy the little bit that’s left. *hugs*

Now I'm all hungry for cheesecake. That sounds delightful. Pot lucks are the bane of my diet this time of year. Still, this is why I work out: So I can eat garbage.

 

Hugs!

I have a work Christmas luncheon tomorrow, my wife’s MS Christmas luncheon on Saturday and my department at work is having a bake off on Monday, and I’m still full from the pot luck on Monday.  I’m not sure I can log enough hours in the gym this season. I think I’ll be eating nothing but salads for the rest of my meals for awhile.  
 

Well, the kettle is on, it’s not snowing at the moment and we’re one day closer to the weekend, so things are starting pretty good this morning. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Long commute today with very hot coffee in my travel mug.  Listened to an audio book and it makes the time go by nicely.

At work now and so thrilled TransPulse is back up.  Posting madly like a teenager can text.  LOL

Have a wonderful day all.

glad everything is good with the site. I was worried for a moment.  My Saturday of course the white crap is falling. and I have a VA appointment. probably not going to make it. me and crappy roads don't get along. Hope they clear by tomorrow. Have 2 appointments then. plus the wife and youngest are going to NE to drop off presents to my older 2 sons families. 

 

So, I am planning some girl time. Hope I can dress some for my appointments. Even if I have to take some cloths and my purse out to the car today when my son is at work. I will.  Right now I have to go out dressed when I can.

Saw the VA endocrinologist Nov.29th and told him that our little six month long experiment on T trying to resurrect my libido wasn't working and I wanted off. He said with no gonads I'd have to be on one of the sex hormones or else the bones will age rapidly and I'd be bent over looking at my feet when walking,  so he's put me on self administered estrodiol valerate injections every other week, no big deal. Guess I'm gonna be a girl after all.

I don't see that as being a bad thing.  LOL

 

I was asked about doing the injections. I know they work better being directly put into the blood stream.  However, I am afraid of needles and there is no way I could do it myself.  Not in a million years.  If I could have someone do it for me Id go that route.  But it would get expensive to go in just to get a quick shot.  It would be nice to not have to melt these big estrogen pills under my tongue though.

Finished my coffee, about to go to my drawing when I discovered the site was back up! Yay! I've missed everyone.

I have a VA appointment with my gender therapist tomorrow morning. Some decisions to make about my path towards transition. Wish me luck in finding the correct path forward.

I'm a little envious of those ahead of me heading towards girlhood while I still struggle with dysphoria over these floppy parts. All things in their own time, I suppose.

Big Hugs for all!

Good luck TammyAnne! Smartest thing I ever did was when I first went to VA many years ago, it's saved me a fortune in what I would have paid in counseling, HRT and other medical expenses.

You realize, of course, that that's exactly what I was thinking two years ago, hehehe ?.  

Which is to say, while we're all on our journeys, each with its unique pacing and associated calendar dates, at the same time we're able to be here encouraging and supporting each other no matter the milestone each is working through. 

 

That's why I remain active here!

 

Hugs,

I used to live north of Boston, too! Arlington, then Somerville, then Bedford and Westford!

Yes, we're all moving at our own pacing on similar journeys. While I'd like to be less impatient things proceed at their own speed.

Congratulations on the new business venture @Debra Michelle  I wish you and your husband nothing but success. 
 

Well, snow is falling again, so it’s going to be a messy commute today. A nice cuppa should keep me warm on the way in. The weekend is almost here and I have my work Christmas luncheon today, so things are looking pretty good. 
 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good news to see that things are going well (except for the sloppy commute) for people.

It's time for me to hit the drawing again, but wanted to check in to say that after a year of meeting with my gender therapist (the delay was mine, not the VA or therapist), I am being referred for the start of HRT, presuming my blood workup shows me healthy enough. I am so looking forward to becoming myself.

I've been smiling all the way back from the therapy session.

This is fantastic news!   I am so happy for you two.  Having trans employees is the icing on the cake too.  It must of been such a relief for them to have a boss like you.  
Good luck with your business!

This is also great news.  I know how wonderful I felt being put on HRT.  Like a huge start that finally was “starting”.  Lol

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      sound  nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching..   how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan?   hugs
