Just got to work. Noticed on the drive in that there is a full moon. I love full moons! Although they seem to change my emotions. I feel more inner focused and less energy.

Good Morning all.

I decided I am dumb and can not stay away from this forum no matter how busy my life gets.

I love this place and it truly has saved my life and changed my life so much for the better.  

I feel like I owe it to others to stick around and help or at least share.  BUt more then tah I want to be apart of this family still.  

So Yeah.

I am back for good.

 

Ok today?

Coffee is hot and good.  The morning commute was beautiful as the sun was rising and the colors were amazing and I sang my heart out the whole time!

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Woke up around 3 AM from a dream but went back to sleep until 5:11 AM and woke up from another dream. My dreams always have lots of people in them. In my dreams I am always the star! They play out like movies. I recently dreamt of my ex. I use to dream of her as a character that was out to hurt me. If I dream of her she is not so scary and some dreams are actually nice. I would rather not dream of her though. Yesterday was a hard stressful day on the phone. Customers were getting mad at me and I almost lost it! It’s weird how your emotions can change by a simple move. I was wearing pink pants and a black shirt but I notice Tessa likes dresses and skirts. I also noticed I was being lazy with my voice and just not caring about myself. Thinking I can’t do this job! I paused and put on a dress, puts some lotion on my skin, and took a deep breath and let Tessa out. My mood and my job performance improved right away. When I go back to the office I won’t wear a dress or skirts so I am going to have to get Tessa use to jeans. It’s so weird beginning to know this other person. I gave my guy friend some videos because his birthday is coming up. He respects me as Tessa and complimented on my hair. I told him I miss him. His mom is high risk for Covid so we can’t hang out. However, we may try for a little while if we wear each a mask but not at his house. Will see. I dreamt last night I bought some skin makeup. If I really did that and covered my 5 o clock shadow I may even bring the beauty of Tessa out more! Maybe some lipstick and eye shadow? Will see. I’ve been listening to music while I work and it’s nice to have background music on. Thinking of a little shopping after work. Will see. Finished my hot bath and now I need to get ready for the day. I hope today will not be as stressful as yesterday.

 

Love

Awe! I miss my drive to work! I would sing all the way there! Singing and enjoying nature is like creating art. Your car is the stage, nature is the background, and you are the Star! Plus you moving forward getting somewhere. Yes. It’s just a drive but if you use your imagination it can be named something like, “Mobility In Motion” You can see yourself as beautiful because you are! Singing also I think opens doors to allow new memories to flow into your brain. I don’t know what you listen to but if I were you it would be something encouraging. I would even do hand motions while I hold the steering wheel of course. Enjoy the drive Babe! 
 

Love to all are drivers out there still driving to work! 
 

Love Tessa❤️?

ShawnaLeigh, 

 

I left the site for a long time to. However, when Tessa stared coming out I came back. There are beautiful people here. We enjoy having you with us. We are all on our own journeys. 
 

Peace

I use singing to enhance my female voice.  I sing songs that are encouraging and some tragic love stories or break ups. But they have the ranges I am trying to achieve and the lows still as well.  I am sounding like a duet now.  LOL

But no matter I am singing totally in a feminine voice and as loud as I can to strengthen it.

Its wonderful to hear myself sounding like this.

Good morning everyone!  Another cold, but sunny day, to make me appreciate a warm cup of tea even more.

 

@ShawnaLeigh Welcome back girl!  I love singing in the car, or pretty much anywhere. I’ve developed a pretty decent falsetto from doing this for years, now if I can just get my chest voice and speaking voice to sound as good and as much like how I want, I’ll be over the moon. 
 

Have a wonderful day everyone! Hugs!

Another day in paradise actually had time to drink coffee this morning lol. Sunny and warm today till the rain gets here. I was able to increase my hormone dosage so I’m happy today. I love singing in my truck I was singing girls just wanna have fun the other day it was great.

Yes it is girl! I do the same! Just keep on singing and singing. Have a wonderful day! Feeling really girly today! I put on a Grey mini skirt and did my nails. Put lotion on my body. I love how my legs feel after the lotion. Can any of you girls relate? I use to look at my skinny ness as a curse when I was presenting male but now it is a blessing! Working at home you can dress like you want. Today is love your skin day! I made it up. I can clearly say I am the most beautiful Babe here! Trying to start my day off in a positive light because once the phone calls start I have to hear all the heart wrenching stories. But Tessa’s sweet voice and personality will make ever customer leave the call with a smile and a kiss on their heart!

Good morning everybody! (actually its almost bedtime here, but I love this forum each time I check in)

 

I can relate Tessa!  I spent most of my life loathing and embarrassed by my non-masculine body.  Wide hips, narrow shoulders, very little muscle mass ... Now?  I so much appreciate my body being the way it is ... I guess there was always a reason.  Love shaving my legs too!

Yes! I hate when you accidentally cut them though. Do you shave them while you take a bath or shower? Just curious what the best way is. Right after I shave mine I spread cream on them and get them nice and smooth. I sometimes call this trans phone number. The people are volunteers that are trans. They are so wonderful to talk to. I’ll share the number. (866-513-7217) I really love mini skirts but I got rid of all mine. So I cut up some jeans and made homemade quarantine minis! They are way short! Only could wear them at my apartment. I’m not ready for hormones yet. I’m trying to love my body the way it is with only slight modifications. Kind of like an old car. You can’t afford a new one so maybe you get some cool seat covers (My beautiful nails-some lady complimented me on them in the Sonic drive through) a new paint job (shaving my legs and body and putting lotion on) and a labra for the front of the car (more feminine hair due) sup up the engine (new personality) Then you take her for a spin! (Lol) See how she drives and so far the voice I use can melt people’s hearts and apparently turn a guy on. My feminine side takes over and it’s like I can’t help it. A little flirty but not dirty. Tessa has her own way and she is amazing how she carries herself. Just yesterday someone in a drive through did a special order for me. I love when my brain matches and it doesn’t matter what kind of body your in you will present the right gender. Maybe I will try hormones someday but I’m not ready yet. I don’t blame anyone who is taking them because that is your decision. I respect you for it. Right now I’m just enjoying being in my right mind. It’s liberating not to be depressed and feeling like your life is worthless. It’s just better being Tess. So for now that’s who I’ll be!

Morning gang! No coffee for me this morning. Labs at 8am no food or coffee. It’s been 3 months since I’ve had to enter a medical facility. How time flies and how much has changed. Everything except labs I’ve been able to do virtually or thru telehealth ever since. Hopefully, it’ll be a quick ‘in and out’ but who knows?

@Tessa I’m glad you’re pampering yourself. Everyone needs to do that on occasion...no matter what your gender.

 

Stay safe all,

Susan R?

That's awesome.  I feel like myself inside, but outside .... I feel so buttoned up.  I wish I could just flip a switch and dance like nobody is watching.   Or do everything you said in your post.

 

Maybe you've heard this one?  There are many variations, or more verses, but here's the variation I learned:

 

Dance like nobody's watching.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you'll never get hurt.

 

I'm really good at the last two, but the first one?   A big challenge.

 

-Grace.

Hi Tess

I shave in the shower (at the end).  Use a plastic stool to sit on most times, it helps.  I hate cuts, but since I changed to a 5-blade cartridge recently I hardly ever get cuts.  Seems to shave smoother too.
Afterwards I will actually use a nice face cream around the most sensitive areas (you know where those are ?) and a good body lotion on the rest of my legs.
Happy you are feeling GREAT today .. have a good rest of the week everybody.  Im off to bed ?

I felt the same way. My youngest said this site is an enabler. I deleted it from my bookmarks for 3 days. then said the heck with it. I have good friends here, i am not leaving them. My only true friends really.

 

Well finally a day off. I don't know if it is the stress of what is happening in my life or work itself or a combination. I just can't seem to wrap my head around work like I once did. I want to do things but it seems that work is getting in the way.

 

Coffee is warming. up so should have my first cuppa joe shortly.

 

Everyone keep safe, healthy and as sane as you can.

Good morning

 

its a beautiful day here.  We’ve actually had a spring this year.  The weather often skips from “winter” if you can call it that, to summer.

 

Coffee was relaxing today.  I’m sitting outside knowing I have yard work to do but not getting motivated to do it. It’s not going anywhere.

 

i never leave, I check the site frequently but I may not post if I don’t have anything to add to the conversation.

 

Enjoy your day.

Good morning all,

Wife and I had a huge argument last night about if I should use the women's restroom because I used it earlier at Walmart without specifically telling her which restroom I was going into before I used it.  She was worried I could get kicked out of the store for "harassing" but I didn't at all, or I could get arrested....both unfounded and unwarranted things.  Maybe 2 + years ago this was true, but the times have changed and she hasn't kept up.  

 

Then she said something very hurtful.  She told me that I WAS A MAN using a women's restroom and women are uncomfortable with that.  I corrected her and said, NO I'M A WOMAN, she said, NO YOU ARE A MAN USING A WOMEN's RESTROOM! This was extremely hurtful....I had very bad thoughts of harming myself last night but I got over them.

I'm sorry that happened. That shows a lack of respect for what you're dealing with from your partner. Also, if you're presenting as a woman and you look like a woman, wouldn't the men be just as uncomfortable? It can be dangerous for a trans woman to use a men's restroom. Sometimes we don't come out again. Scary stuff.

 

Legally, it depends on your state. Where I live, it's illegal to use a woman's restroom while you still have a penis. I'm unfamiliar with the rules in Hawaii, but you might want to check, just in case. On top of that, different establishments might have different rules about who can use what facility. For example, the gym I go to has a standing order to use whatever restroom you feel most comfortable in. I used the unisex bathroom until I was in compliance with state law. I'm funny that way. The point being that I didn't have to.

 

Finally, we're in there to pee like everybody else. What are people getting so hung up about? Honestly.

 

Hugs!

So sorry you're wife reacted that way, awful and hurtful thing to say.  You are right, you are a woman who was using the women's restroom.  How were you dressed?  If you are not presenting feminine, it can be very risky.  It shouldn't matter, but unfortunately, it does. There are still a lot of people out there who are stuck on gender and segregation due to some false sense of threat to their security.

So, I did not have a wig or my breast forms on.  However, I had a woman's shirt, shorts pulled up like a woman would, no bulge showing.

It is protected in Hawaii.  Jackie, which state do you live in where it's illegal?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?

      I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin.

      For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them.  I have noticed this on both sides.  Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country.  So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person.  For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity.  The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order.  Strange.   I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left.  I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out.  And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been.  Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something.   There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along.  Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way.

      I was using an off the shelf product but happened to get an ad for Hims. Checked it out and found their prescription version was a little stronger so thought I'd try. It has worked very well for me.

      I put out an ad on Indeed for a campaign manager in January.  I got 435 responses and had meetings with 2 of them every day for a month.  No one was willing to donate enough time to my campaign to jump start donations so that I could pay them a salary.  Reposting is an excellent idea.  I don't have the time for it.  I'd love it if people would just make creative clones of my website like in the old css zen garden days 20 years ago.  I have $26.50 in my bank account today and need to sell my fancy, almost mint condition, Specialized M2 bicycle for less than $200 to buy food.   Stepping into this executive level role like I have is very intense work and I've been sleeping 4 hours a night for the last two months to stay in character.  In other words, I could use some help.  I've had 3 Gen Z transwoman musicians living with me this year and all 5 of us that have lived in my house this year have significant time living in cars and the streets.  My first wife is a symphony conductor, arranger, bass trombonist and carpenter who used to do concrete work on the freeway.  I have a picture of her on a private plane with Yo-Yo Ma from almost a quarter century ago.  I'm not just some crazy street person with $26.50 in my bank account.  I've played music for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and I played a gig with Ray Charles in 1995.  And that is just the beginning of my story.  It's not easy to change the reproductive habits of 8 billion people.

      (I'm no poet, so this is more just melodramatic word vomit lol)   Where did the hurt go? Where are the tears on my face? Hole in me, I need it so The sound, followed by a sting Feels empty now, staring into space Feels like I'm in a pile for discard Where are the things that made it home? Isn't home that place you're loved so hard that you want to die?   Why aren't you louder? Why don't you tell me those things anymore? You're supposed to make me cower The iron hand turns to a feather Without your anger, I don't know what's in store I want it and don't, it's kind of hard Where are the things that made you home? Isn't home the place you're loved so hard that you want to die?   Why doesn't he speak the same? Where are the comments that made me feel like a fool? Useless, B for bad, a weirdo, I'll take the blame Sharp words are too soft now I'll try to stay on these strings, play to his rule I need those words to go between my mind's shards Where are the things that made him home? Isn't home the place you're loved so hard that you want to die?   Why aren't they loved the same? Why did you love me so different until now? A gentle hand guides them instead of the gauntlet's claim Was I special, maybe? You're supposed to be hard as steel, now you bow Or perhaps it was because something was wrong with me, on my guard Where are the things to make them at home? Isn't home the place you're loved so hard that you want to die?   Where are the familiar things? Where are the echoes of a scream, the sting after I did something wrong? Should I fear what you're now doing? Too gentle, maybe you'll leave me alone like you used to Like the other one does, this was fate all along Hurt me, belittle me, please just make it home? I don't want you to leave, just love me so hard that I want it to end and keep going all at once

      China, India and Africa have the biggest population problems.  I'm a jazz musician who does Zen meditation and cooks curries every day.  Kamala Harris has Indian and African heritage and is strong on Planned Parenthood and abortion rights.  I've reached out several times to Kamala in the last few months to try to get her endorsement.   Susheela Jayapal is running against me and she was born in India and is endorsed by Bernie Sanders.  I'd like to see Kamala Harris as president, me as vice-president and Susheela Jayapal and Maxine Dexter in our Oregon Federal positions.  We can be highly visible and move the needle on population world-wide with this combination in my opinion.  If we can't pave our roads in 75 years, how are we going to get food to all those people.  I don't think there is a space age solution to our oil problem and our society must reverse course.   As dire as all this sounds, what I'm suggesting is that we give up the rat race and literally have a world sports and music party for the next 40 years while we decrease population.  A decreasing population will have no need for new housing, so that won't be a problem.  I think we can give up this rat race finally.   At least China recognizes there is a problem with population and has actually done something to address it.  Yes, our birthrate is falling, but we certainly are not at the 1:2 ratio that I think we need to be at.  Without making a big deal about this, we'll just be following the path of least resistance picking up our mochas on the way to work 40 hours/week in our SUV.

      Very nice articles about you and your policy views. I do think that we've missed out when it come to nuclear power generation to reduce our reliance on crude oil and coal. We should have transitioned away from crude oil and coal a long time ago. I'm with Dr. Patrick Moore, former Green Peace founder, on bringing more nuclear power plants online. As for reducing the petrochemical industries use of petroleum based products to manufacture the many consumer products? Many people who don't even think about the everyday used items, coming from refining oil or natural gasses.   On a different topic, have you though about hiring someone to handle your social media platforms ie X aka Twitter, Facebook, Instagram? I think it would help you reach more people quicker on the hot topics. I would follow you and re-post as much as I could.   Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I've noticed the same thing, but its often those on the "Left" who want to shut down freedom of speech.  Tell us what words to use, or what we can't say.  Personally, I favor free speech for everybody.  Unlimited and absolute.  Including if/when its destructive or violent.  Better to have some chaos than to give anybody the power to restrict speech.
