That sounds amazing!  I love to sing, not that I'm any good at it.   Can you tell us/me more?

Wel my voice therapy was cancelled due to CV and the two sessions I was given a lot of info and things to work on and sounds and phrases to practice. Yea I did none of that.  LOL

I just sang.  LOL

BUT I will say to used the info and understanding of how to achieve sounds she had taught me and just expanded on those techniquies.  The biggest of which is project your voice from within the nasal area and the front/roof of your mouth or your "mask" and not your throat and chest.  It takes time to learn this but once you do you are almost there really.

Wild stormy night here. Restless sleep as well.

Coffee in hand, careful we don't spill it as everyone gets a nice long warm hug.

《《《 hug 》》》

(The kind of hug where no one seems to want to let go)

TA

I could really use that! Just got screamed at by a customer. Collections can be a hard job especially during the pandemic. People have less patience and they really aren’t very nice to me. I’ll be ok. It’s only 9:38 AM. I have till 5pm. Will be a hard day but I’ll be ok. I’m not letting go of that hug! Love Tess❤️

Good morning.

I'm breathing well lately and think it's due to running with my face covered.

Slowly working chips off my shoulders.

I like being a girl.

I love being Tessa! This morning took a hot bath. Shaved my skinny legs. Put lotion on my body. Did my hair cute. Put on another one of my Quarantine Mini’s. These are mini skirts I made out of old pants. Super short and sexy! My own erotic design! Lol I’m happy being a girl just wish others could see that. Maddie just be the beautiful person you are and if no one else sees it doesn’t matter because YOU are the most important one! Love ya girl!

Good Friday morning 

 

Hang in there baby, the weekends almost here!  Yes I know not all of you have a Saturday Sunday weekend..

 

warmer than I expected today. Overcast.  Talked to my wife last night about needing to spend more time as Willow.  No she doesn’t really like it but suggested I spend all day as Willow.  Planned on doing that today then a friend that doesn’t know about Willow asked for some help.  Well, there is always tomorrow.

@Ms Maddie while it may be harder to "smell the roses" with a mask over your nose having clear lungs is definitely a good thing.  Turning the corner to a new life and shedding the old coat we once wore is refreshing.  Admitting to yourself that you are happy is a good sign.  Keep running and smiling!

Good Morning!

 

Cloudy for now, sunny for later. Lately, it has felt like summer, even tho the "May gray" has begun. Inland it will be in the 80's, and on the coast it will be in the 70's. Not bad at all.

Good morning all!  I'm doing decent.  I'm trying to maintain calm within but when I hate that i walk around with something that can spontaneously get erect and I cannot wear my breast forms at work, or my wig, i get sad and depressed.  Not in the full depression mode, but something stronger than just sadness. I hate my male characteristics.

You're very welcome Tessa.

I love to hug and hold on for a bit, at least for a handful of heartbeats. It makes the hug more healing that way.

So after spending the night at our cabin in the remote woods of the Ozarks, this morning as I was looking over the porch rail I saw an enormous pile of poop right below me. Fairly sure that some of the thumping and bumping noises I heard last night belonged to the bear that was kind enough to leave a little present.

Reminder to self to not leave any food or scraps out.

Are you still holding me because I need someone’s shoulder to cry on right now. I’m just feeling it tonight hard. Who will want me? I’m a broken mirror that has shattered to the ground. If you pick up a piece you might bleed so leave me on the floor. I just don’t want to hurt anymore. Who will dare pick these pieces of me up and love me again? I’m hurting but each piece is from a shattered life and the pieces are not dust yet so there is still hope. Hope that maybe I can heal from all the pain. That mirror someone will want. Don’t let me go!

@Tessa if I could share something that has helped me. A blacksmith will take ugly pieces of steel and through heat and pressure mold it into a beautiful work of art. So when we feel like we are being broken down, the heat and pressure of life are just molding us into the beautiful person we are supposed to be. Hang in there girl.

Hopping this day at work goes by fast. My middle son and family are coming for the weekend. We get to watch the grandkids tonight. Both him and his girlfriend support me 1000%.

He was the first voice of reason after the blow up last week. saying "Just ask that you do it cuz it's what you want to do, not something you'll regret cuz some rather close minded people we love won't accept you." If that isn't support I don't know what is.

 

Today upper 50s being just shy of 5am it is still black outside. Coffee waiting till the drive to work this morning. I usually only have one cup in the morning. Sorry I'm not the coffeeholic some here are. LOL.

 

Have a fantastic day everyone. I know work may be boring for me today but I have so much to look foreword to after work.

Weekend espresso with breakfast today.  Yum!

 

It's rainy and 5 degrees C this morning, going for a high of 11, but they are forecasting a blizzard tonight!  I knew I shouldn't have put on the summer tires so soon.

Thank you Justine! I have to start picking my own pieces off the floor. No one can do that for me. When I pick them up with my naked hands I cut myself so I leave them on the floor and focus on the cut and blood (pain) I need gloves to pick up sharp glass. This site, a trans line/help line, trans daughter (not that I can go to him but he accepts me) my work, and possible therapy will be my gloves. Just as we’re using gloves to protect us from the virus I need gloves to protect myself. Not that I would sink as low to harm myself. (Been down that road) you only hurt the ones you love. Even with no partner, little money, and little friends I will take what I have and be happy. Tessa is inside me and she is guiding me. Last night I told myself you could stick her away again but she would still be there in the darkness. She’s the living side of me and without her I become depressed, feeling sorry for myself, lonely, and confused. With her I feel loved, accepted, and wanted. I’m able to take compliments like someone who told me I had great nails and another person commented on my leather jacket and my one friend who knows I’m Tessa said I had nice hair. He also called me girl! Last night I dreamed my Grandma was alive again and told me my mom was in the hospital. I grew afraid in my dream but Grandma said she’s going to be ok. Is my Grandma trying to communicate to me? I don’t often dream of her. She came out of her picture in my dream! So weird but refreshing! My Grandma on earth probably wouldn’t approve of Tessa but I’m Heaven if she’s trying to talk to me it must be different. I felt like Tessa in my dream. Grandma always took care of me when I was sick. I miss her. Maybe in a way I’m sick mentally and she came to say it’s going to be ok. Maybe my mom in the dream represents my female side and she is telling me it so not going to die. Do dreams have meaning? Do passed love ones communicate to us through them? This is a mystery. Today I have kids and Grandma has baked a cake. Carter turned 16 yesterday! I’m so proud of him! I’m going to laundry at Uncles. They know about my female side but I’ve never told them about Tessa. I fold my clothes in front of them and they don’t judge. My clothes are mixed with male and female. Most under is female but I do have my dresses and what I like to call Quarantine Mini Skirts. If you take some old pants and cut the legs off cutting through the connecting portion inside that holds the pants legs together. Try to cut evenly. You can make yourself some cute mini mini skirts! They feel sexy and amazing! If you dare wear these out in public. I wouldn’t bend over. Lol... or do if you want some attention (giggle) please don’t. 
I cut up some old green kinda plaid shorts, grey dress pants, and some sweat pants. I want to buy some actual mini skirts soon. (Something to do during quarantine...have your own fashion show! Walk that cat walk girl and feel pretty and famous! 
 

Today I will look in the mirror and say I’m beautiful regardless of what I see or am wearing. I can’t wear really what I want when I’m around family. I will pick up that piece ever so gently and glue it back on the mirror. I’m going to pick out some cute panties but no bra because since I don’t have breasts and wearing a breast form which I don’t have either I don’t want to give my family the wrong impression. I have to tell myself Tessa is inside. No piece of cloth or even physical altercation can produce her. She’s already there! All I have to do is let her out of the shadow and be the girl/maybe little male I can be! 
 

I do write a lot because it helps. 
 

Love and hugs and kisses on the cheek to everyone on this app! 
 

Love Tess?

My passed on relative is my mom’s mom. When I say grandma is baking a cake today that’s my mom and my kids grandma. Just thought I should clarify.

My kids are teens and they know about Tessa but due to the ex will use anything to hurt me I can’t fully dress like Tessa in front of them. But I am dressed inside. I dress very stylish like a woman when I can’t wear dresses and such. Today I’m wearing black rock star frayed skinny jeans with zippers all over them. Gap white sweatshirt. Tan leather boots that zip up. Grey panties. My garnet and diamond ring. A black leather zipper jacket. Hair with some bangs. I could be looked at either way. Nails always looking good! Going out for Burger King for breakfast. Then laundry. Kids later. Birthday party for Carter at 4. Tomorrow won’t see kids. No work. Probably wear a nice dress and be Tessa all day! 
 

I’m glad your kids accept you. My kids also call me Dad and that’s ok. One thing I’ve learned in being trans is we have to also be gentle with others feelings. Not to let them hurt you because that’s not good. But be respectful and see where they are. Your true gender is in who you are inside not what you wear outside. But it is nice to match both sides. 
 

Love Tess

      I noticed something like this too once I socially transitioned. I am so accustomed to people referring to me as a guy and using the right name, that socially I feel fine most of the time. This just makes me more aware of how physically uncomfortable I get sometimes.

      I have wondered how basic training is for transgender recruits?   Kymmie 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      Welcome to the Forums Felix, enjoy yourself, but please get the homework done!!

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.

      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.

      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
