Survived my first trans group meeting. Surprise, my gender therapist is the group moderator. I started out feeling very uncomfortable but by the end of the hour I was relaxed and laughing with the group.

Hurray!

OMG I could not even imagine this.  How very sad to of been kept from a child all these years.  I would definitely insist on a paternity test.

I have yet to attend a group.  My therapist was trying to get one started but during a poor weather time of the year and everyone kept calling it to cancel due to the weather. Eventually he decided to bag it as it just was not getting off the ground.  The very frist meeting he had pizza and drinks and was ready but I was the only one who showed.  So I received a free 1.5 hour session with pizza!  LOL

Rain, really dumping down in buckets with lightning and thunder, this morning.

More computer nightmares as it seems in upgrading my little desktop drives, I've inadvertantly snapped off a SATA connector to the DVD drive. Poo. So I'll have to figure out a replacing drive. Not a mountain, but sometimes molehills can be difficult to overcome.

Plus my laptop still needs its drive upgraded to SSD. I'm thinking trying to do any of this in a lightning storm is not the best plan.

Coffee is a good thing on mornings like this.

How is everyone else doing this morning?

Hi,

 

I’ve had a couple of busy days .  Working on my bathroom remodel finished the tile floor yesterday mowed the lawn with my walk behind instead of the tractor.  (Tractor has two flat tires).  Between these I was working on my boat.  That’s back on hold I had to order fasteners to get appropriate size stainless steel .

 

beautiful day here, upper 70s. Rain tonight then good weather again.

 

I don’t get to group meetings every month but when I go, I find it helpful.  Joining in on conversations with like people and getting to hear about their experiences is very helpful.

 

it is a shame that your ex had a child and apparently didn’t tell either the father or the child about the other.  If you turn out to be the father, I hope you can develop a good relationship with her.

Good morning, or afternoon.  I finally was able to get a restful sleep. Feeling better.. Recently I noticed lots of employees are wearing face masks at work. I cut out some big lips to tape to the masks as a way of lightening up the atmosphere. Paranoia is beginning to set in. That's understandable with more cases of corona-virus are showing up in Nebraska. None at my facility yet, that we know of. Second floor does have a few patients experiencing flu like symptoms. Diarrhea mostly. My floor, so far, has been spared.

 on them. I'm doing what I can. Washing my hands. Keeping surfaces cleaned with disinfectant. Making sure soiled laundry is washed.

Keeping an upbeat attitude.

When I got back to work Monday I found out that the lady that was experiencing low O2 stats had passed away over the weekend. I wonder if anyone had bothered to monitor her while I was gone. The CPAP company had sent in one of their techs last Thursday night  to fix her machine. The Director of Nursing reamed out one of my night nurses for not calling them sooner. There was no reason for this. My girl did had called the support number on the CPAP and when she was unsuccessful had left a nurses note for the day shift to make a follow up calling the morning. Turns out the support company had changed hands and we didn't have the new number.  I had her leave a note to continue monitoring the patients O2 levels and recommended leaving her connected to the O2 machine because her stats dropped rapidly when she wasn't on it.  It's frustrating some times.

I'm sorry to hear this Donnie.  Its frustrating when a simple fix (following up) was available.

Communication is often a seldom used tool in nursing. The results of the  lack there of can be deadly.

In the waiting area  for my appointment.  Low and behold another  trans girl sits right across  from me. There is  others of us than those on the forum.  ?? who  knew.  Lol.

 

Kymmie. 

While shopping at my local Winco, I run into other trans individuals all the time.  I had no idea we have so many in our community living so close yet I never see them at our local support groups. I guess many just want to blend in and/or really aren’t interested in or need of support. Who knows?

Seems like that other trans girl wasn't out to much. Just as I was typing that post. She moved to another part of the waiting room. Maybe she was afraid I was going to take her picture.

 

Still really don't know how to really approach another trans person. I am so naive.

Good morning all.

 

Just got my first cup.  Today would be my youngest granddaughter’s twelfth birthday.  She is greatly missed by all who knew her.  There was something special about her even before she got cancer.

 

As for running into other transgender individuals, I have seen some I have wondered if, but don’t actually  know.  I would never approach someone and ask them or presume that they were.  It’s just not what I would want someone to do to me so I wouldn’t do it to them.

 

Its green car season here.  Pine tree pollen.  This year is earlier and heavier than normal.  I am fortunate that I am not allergic to it but it still causes sinus problems.

 

well, time to feed the dog, she just reminded me.

OMG me either now that I think of it.

This would be good to know I guessing. 

Though I have had zero opportunity to meet them as I have not seen them or I am still blind to it.

So my day yesterday was a complete makeup fail.  I posted about it in the Beauty forum so I will not rehash it here.   Cliff notes:  I Looked like Beatle Juice with awesome hair.

 

So far the morning is going very well except I forgot my security badge and office key like an hour away from work.  I was NOT pleased with myself.  I came in super early to access an operating room to do some inspections before they got busy with it.  Its a very hard room to access during normal hours.

Forgetting my badge seriously hurt this plan.  I was looking at sitting in my car for three hours now.  well I had to pee so I at least went into the hospital.

I was lucky to have the Maintenance manager sitting just inside the locked door to there department and he let me in.  Opened my office door as its across his and then went to get me a temp security badge from HR.

I like the whole 'men do things for you' thingy.  LOL

 

I hope you have a wonderful day or at least try!

Hi 

 

Coffee was good this morning.  I needed it as I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. 
 

It’s a beautiful day here in the Low Country.  Sunny and warm.  Cold front for the weekend then warming back up next week.  Definitely time to get spring chores going.
 

speaking of which, times a wasting.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.
    • MaybeRob
      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."  
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      Decided to head for Lowes after work early and bought a new stove.Was in stock and put it back of my truck.Luckily a neighbor of mine whom does appliance repair did come to remove the connection and convert the stove to natural gas in the new one.Was set up for propane.Happy with it and the scrap metal guy came to pick up my old one.He was happy to get it,said he needed one more to make it a load in his trailer full of junk appliances

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance. 
    • KatieSC
      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.
    • Emily Chen
      Thanks a lot for letting me know! Unfortunately, I'm not available during this time period. Have a great meeting!
