Willow, I used an aftermarket harness. but I still kept getting vocals out of the sub. So I threw in a crossover I had. If I wanted to put a full sound system in it, I could. Have amps, speakers, subs, Etc.  When you compete in car audio you acquire some stuff.   But the explorer is my offroader, so just the basic. Even though it is a loaded Limited.power leather seats, moon roof ect.

 

Now our 2000 Crown Vic is getting the sounds. DVD the works.

Kymmie, I bought a 2005 Eddie Bauer for the sole purpose of towing my boat.  It had 160,000 miles v6 2wd.  Then we sold that boat and replaced it with one that never goes on a trailer, 8000lbs, 32 ft long and 10.5 feet wide.  Not exactly trailerable. Oh yeah then there is the clearance requirement,  43 feet above the waterline and another 6 below.  Oh well.  lol

Good Morning.  Glad to be back at work.  So much less drama.  My life has seemingly turned into a sit com/soap opera. Sigh.

Tough day yesterday lets just say.

 

Its a new day and although the weather is crappy here I am in much better sprites.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility.  It's hard being visible while in isolation, but we see each other here.  In whatever way you make your presence known, be yourself!

Hello All.

Another day being the best true self I can be and loving every second.  For now.  LOL

I actually am starting to think I may be manic/depressant as I am riding so high on my new life and then a few minutes later I am crying wondering why it is so hard to just be me.  

So yea.  Therapy topic for Friday.  LOL

 

Until then I am keeping safe and sanitized and still playing the essential role.  I'm not sure if this is better then isolation or not (as I am a gamer) but I am it at my hospitals doing what I do so it is what it is.

Be safe everyone and have a wonderful day!

Hey Shawna, the ups and downs are normal, especially when first starting HRT. I know what you are going through but after time it will smooth out.

Good luck at therapy.

 

Hugs,

Greetings all.  Its nice to read your comments. 

 

That was nice @KymmieL.  Drive home safely. 

 

@ShawnaLeigh yeah this can be a rather wild ride even in the best of times.  Have faith that you're doing what you can by going to work and trying to be the best you can.  

 

Its good to see you back to posting @BrandiBri again.  Thanks.

I just had some good news from the U.K. Gender Recognition Panel.  My application goes before them on April 22nd.  I should hear the results by May 1st. 

 

So, before too long (I know the wheels of British bureaucracy turn slowly!), I should have a birth certificate that says that a baby girl named Kathleen Lauren ______ was born 65 years ago.  ?

Congratulations Kathleen.  Hope it goes well for you.  I will need Srs to get my  birth certificate  changed in Michigan.  But first things first. Name right now  after the world gets back some sense of order.

Hi everyone one.  
 

our Governor has not told everyone to stay at home, YET!  But last weekend the weather was nice and people ignored the distance orders on the beach an on the water. So now the beaches are closed to everyone, all boat ramps are closed, all short-term rentals are banned!  For a place that lives on tourists it’s pretty tough on the businesses.

 

So, this morning I was looking in the mirror and I saw my wife looking at me.  I asked her “What?”  She replied nothing but I knew there was something.  I asked her again later.  She fessed up, I was looking more feminine.  She thinks my breasts are changing although I don’t see it.  But I have to admit I could see my general shape is changing. Narrower waist softer features less or lighter body hair.

 

guess my HRT is working.  That makes it a good day.

Congratulations KathyLauren!

Congratulations Willow!

I could do with a narrower waist, I'm built like a barrel! Someday things will get back to normal and I can commence HRT. Soon, please, soon!?!

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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 wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      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.
