It may have changed now because now I have to find a way to pay for it my insurance company denied it.

Well pooh.

Sorry to hear that.

There's always Planned Parenthood - I gather they're not very expensive.

I thought about that but there are no planned parenthood clinics around me that do hrt. I left a message with my doctor to see how expensive it is to go with out insurance

I recall reading the story of one of the first trans women who after being denied an orchi just did it herself. Almost bled out before getting to the ER. I hope you won't consider that. I kinda look to you for leadership and smarts at this point. In other words, I need you (along with several kind others).

And thank you for the encouraging words. I'm probably going to chew my gender therapist's ears off next week in my appointment.

TA

I would never dreamt something like that.  I said it only in jest.  
My constitution is not that high.  I passed out changing my dressing after my Bariactric surgery one day.  

it wasn’t bleeding but I could see fairly far inside me.  Lights out. Lol

I'm happy to have coffee and my usual oatmeal and blueberry breakfast.  We have been staying on the farm except to send taxes out,  drop deposits at the bank, or drop off cases of maple syrup at distributers.  I'm grateful for the spring but miss spending time chatting with friends and neighbors.

Stay safe my friends.

 

Hugs,

I am glad to see another oatmeal eater.  I have oatmeal with raisins and maple syrup every morning.  Lately, since my surgery, I have added prunes.  Yes, they work!

 

And toast with marmalade, and tea.  I only have coffee (espresso) on Sundays.

I'm another oatmeal person. Usually with blueberries (frozen from jaunts to Maine) or lacking those, dried cranberries or even apples or pears thrown in. It's been a staple of my breakfast for more than twenty five years.

And of course, coffee.

I'm fond of them too.

Scottish oatcakes are pretty good too.

Relatively few things when dipped in chocolate taste bad!

Oats are a good thing regardless. All that healthy stuff!

This "stay at home except for absolutely necessary travel" order is really putting a damper on my feminine self-expression.  Oh sure, I can express my feminine side here at home, but it just isn't the same as being out and about.

 

Still, I am committed to doing my part to stave off the spread of this virus, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm just dying to go shopping for a new dress or a new pair of shoes.

 

I guess I'll just have to be patient and hope the all-clear comes sooner versus later (please).

 

Stay well and healthy everyone.

 

Hugs,

Patience is definitely called for.  I share your frustration. 

 

However, if the stay-at-home orders do what they are supposed to ("flatten the curve"), it will last a longer time, not shorter.  The point is to reduce the peak of people who are sick all at the same time, by slowing transmission so that many people get sick later rather than soon.  That way, the hospitals can cope, at the cost of dragging the whole thing out for longer.

 

Not what you wanted to hear, I know.  And I am not looking forward to it.  But getting it over quickly means that more people will die.

I had to check out a recipe for those and it seems they are just like the soft cookies I buy, made in small batches and wonderful!

They're addictive.

But about as sweet as a graham cracker rather than sugary like a cookie.

If you really want a cookie, Walker's Shortbread is the way to fly.

I know that I’ve been absent for quite a while and things are not easy, not easy for any of us, but there’s a little bit of a silver lining. I’m finally on vacation, sure it’s not in a tropical island with little umbrella drinks and pool furniture but it’s a much needed break. I’m working from home so that’s a step in the right direction, and I can finally say that I have set up my T-shirt store online (or at least one of them). But those are all minor things compared to the blessing in disguise that this world crisis is: that on Tuesday, because of the social distancing, I was finally able to get an over the phone appointment on next Tuesday with a gender therapist. Believe me I’m not happy about this all going on but if it’s going to get me back on track with my transition then I’m glad that something good came out of it.

I know just what you mean!  It is not helping that I only just found out how comfortable I feel in a dress.  I had been wearing jeggings almost exclusively until my wife bought me a "starter package" of clothes through Amazon.  Now I feel like my wardrobe is woefully lacking in variety, and I really prefer shopping in the real world, especially for clothes.

 

Hang in there, Sally - our time will come!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good Saturday. I know 4am came way to early to get up and go to work, of course they are talking rain for most of the day so I’d imagine it be a fun day at work for me lol.

Rainy dreary day here again.

@Josie Beth Welcome back!  I hope your new business takes off.  I know it will be slow at first.  Hang in there.  

 

Its sunny here this morning and that alone makes me feel good.  The overcast clouds and rain over the last number of days has been a real bummer.

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone is staying safe and well. I’m relaxing at home with the family, taking the opportunity to get some practice with painting my nails. 
I’ve been considering opening the door some more to other friends and family because I’m getting sick and tired of feeling like I need to hide.  I just don’t want to add more stress on my wife with everything else that is going on.

I know what you mean I had planned on coming out to more people by this point but since the world is shut down it hasn’t happened yet.

I am already out to those who are close to me (a whopping total of four people), but I have a large number of family members and a few friends who I am not out to.  My wife has been encouraging me to make a Facebook account so people will stop asking her how I am.  I don't want to make a Facebook account that doesn't reflect who I really am.  If I do this, I am going to be coming out to everyone at once.  On the one hand, the idea makes me anxious, but on the other hand, I'm not really involved with these people, and it seems like an easy way to sort out who will stand with me...

Metalicious I think your wife is right especially if you are not that close to them. I’m out to just 2 people. I decided to wait to tell my parents till after I’m on hrt so I won’t have to listen to them say how I should not do it. I don’t have Facebook so I won’t have to worry about coming out there.

Well back to the daily grind yesterday. Looks like a lot of people haven't gotten the message yet. We still get quite a few people not social distancing at the store.

 

Had a good video appointment with my speech therapist on Fri. My speech is there just needs a few tweaks. Weather forecast in the upper 50s today. by the clouds doesn't look like it will happen.

 

Guys and gals stay health and safe.

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      One month here. Huh.
    • Vidanjali
      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.
