Omg what an evening that @Patti Anne and I had prior to her daughters arrival. I was In constant pep talk mode!  For my part I admit I was terribly nervous but had to put on my best super confidence hat for her and I was so anxious when she and I signed off just before her daughter arrived.  I couldn’t sleep a wink until I knew the outcome!
Not until Patti started to send me the play by play that is. She sent pictures of her daughter to me and shared pics of me with her too. I mention that because this young women not only had a huge amount of love and acceptance for her parent but Patti also told her daughter all about me and us and our future plans. Which she had total acceptance for as well. (Naturally making me very relieved!!!)

im so proud of my BFF and love her dearly and experiencing her total release of stress and anxiety and having complete joy was a beautiful moment for me to share with her.  I’m so happy for her to experience a total win with coming out. 
Yes there is a long road ahead for her coming out to everyone else but I will be with her every step of the way and together we can get her through it.

Thanks for all the answers to my question. It’s exciting to see how each one of you got your names. Ok day so far at work. Thinking of grocery shopping. Maybe. Not really that nice outside. Customers have been nicer today than previous days. Thought maybe overtime for Sat but haven’t heard anything. See my kids this weekend. That will be my highlight of the week!

Dreams are waking me up at night. Weird dreams? I’m always saving people in my dreams. I think that’s because in real life I’m always trying to help my kids, customers, and strangers if they need it. 
 

talk to ya later 

 

Love

Sorry @Tessa I intended to share mine as well.

My male name is Shawn Andrew Lxxxxxxxxx  

The Andrew is a generational middle name passed down from father to son for, well, generations.  I'm like 7th.  I hated to get rid of it completely so I slid the "A" to the end of my first name to feminize it more.  Shawn is bi gender and I had thought Id just keep it so it was easier on legal documents and such.  I like Shawna better.

I chose Leigh as my new middle name as a play on the generational thing again as it was my first born's middle name.

I love the way Shawn Leigh flows and sounds though not many call me both.

That's ok.

Shawna Works!!!

Patti Ann I am so happy for you. You didn't tell "THE" secret did you? Remember that is my job

Hi Kymmie

 

I did not let loose with any classified information. I'll leave that to you when the timing is right. Yes, the discussion with my daughter went really really well. I'm not sure that I intended to tell her everything. Shawna thought I should but I was unsure. When, after telling her the basics, she came over and hugged me and told me how much she loved me, so I let loose with the information. It went easily and seemed to flow naturally, so I went with it. 

 

It's a big load off my mind.

@Tessa unlike others, I went through a list of girls names when it came time to choose.  I eliminated all names I didn’t like or if I knew someone else with that name. Then I narrowed the remainder to 5 that I really liked.  Out of those, I chose Willow never connecting that my birth Name is William and I decided on Willow.  It was several months later when that was pointed out to me that the light bulb lit.

It's been an emotional roller coaster for me the past couple of weeks.

Talking with my therapist today about how low I'd felt and got complimented on my coping skills.

But things are brighter now, sitting here in my studio, relaxing in the recliner, trying to decide if I'm going to do more work this evening.

I know everyone must be chomping at the bit for quarantine to end, and I know there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there so let me preach a bit. Regardless of whether or not anyone in power has ill intent in using this lockdown, this virus is a real nightmare, don't take it lightly and do protect yourself. Aside from the obvious lung problems leading to death in many older individuals this thing attacks heart, liver, kidneys, nervous system and the blood stream.

I expect we'll all look back on the pre-virus world as the "good ol' days" at some time in the future.

Please stay healthy, all of you!

Much love and 《《《 hugs 》》》

Names.

My first name has the initial A, which my father always used - I'm a junior and the third generation to use my given name - so I slid that into the middle slot and did the good ol' southern thing using the name Anne. My middle name is Thomas or Tommy which is what I always went by. So I slid that into first place, went with the alternate spelling of "tommie" which sounds more feminine, the went with the feminine (I think its Gaelic but i could be wrong) version of that name as Tammie. Although in real life I will likely just stay with Tommie, since I answer to it already.

@Tessa for my name I simply added an E to the end, at least for the moment. That way I don’t get to confused lol.

 

Wasn’t a very good day for me today. No coffee (woke up to late and had to beeline for work) almost got in a huge fight with a couple coworkers. Just seemed like one of those teenage “I hate the world” kinda days. Feeling a little better now that I’m home. Just got to make it through tomorrow and I’m off the weekend. 
Have a pleasant night everyone

Justine, it's good to hear you have your sites on the weekend to destress from the work week. I hope your Friday goes well.

Good morning everyone! It’s Friday but I still get to work Saturday. Thunderstorms most of the night here. I told my wife I wanted to put makeup on and go out to eat tonight it’s been too long. I haven’t worn makeup since March and it makes me sad, so hopefully I get off at a decent hour and we can go eat.

Good Morning! Coffee is hot and good. Slept a little better and a bit longer. 

 

TammyAnne is right. This virus is dangerous and what will be our new normal is going to be different than the good old days.

 

Stay healthy and have a great day!

Thanks again for sharing. Today I thought I would like to share how if I was in a relationship I would like it to go. This scenario is during quarantine. The person works at home as well. In my story I’m doing my same job. Will start with a regular work day. 
 

Morning: 

 

I wake up to my love holding me tight in their arms. My love gives me a back massage and a tushy rub. Then because they love me and know me so much they go prepare a bubble bath for me. I ask them if they want to join? Sometimes they do other times they don’t. I don’t force the issue. 
 

After the bubble bath I meet my love for more cuddling and to talk to them about what I’m going to do today and I ask them what there going to do. We might have morning sex! (I never got This with my ex) After we’ve had our fun my love would hold me again. This time I would kinda hold them. Playing with their hair and giving them a massage. I have to be on the computer at 8 am sharp. I go freshen up. Makeup, brush teeth, do hair, lotion skin. Let’s say my love knows how to cook. I then get dressed and my love is in the kitchen making us breakfast. French Toast is my favorite. We eat and talk. My love tells me they love me and I’m special VIP. I tell them also what they mean to me! I give them a big kiss and hug and then start my day. My love also works but a few times they check on me. Maybe a shoulder rub and a few kisses throughout the day. 
 

Afternoon: 
 

I take lunch around noon. My love and I if it’s a nice day will eat outside. I will put my legs on their lap as we eat and talk. Our conversation will be encouraging and uplifting because I don’t like to talk about depressing things. 
 

Evening: I get off at 5 and let’s say they were off at 4. My love decided to go to a drive through and get some food and surprise me. They also know how I love to shop! So they stopped at Target and bought me a new mini skirt. I love those! They surprise me with it! I put it on and we eat while watching a romantic movie! After the movie a late evening walk. The parks are closed but we just walk around. They hold my hand. 
 

Night Time: The day comes to a close. I take my shower and put on a nightgown. Depending how we both feel we might have sex. Then my Love holds me al night. If I have a bad dream they will stay up with me. I know they love me and I always feel that I’m the VIP. 
 

It’s fantasy I know. How many of you got this kind of treatment from past or your present lover? I gave my ex a back rub every morning. I told her I loved her. I guess that wasn’t enough for her. Now she has a boyfriend. My day will come and if not I’ll love myself as if I’ve already found that special person! Living single is hard but loving yourself can be easy if you just let go of the past and let the present wash over you like a long hot bubbly bath! Feel the water and let go of all your insecurities and make yourself the VIP. Because you are! Love yourself and condition your mind to receive the kind of love you deserve. Don’t settle for second best because even if you never find someone at least you never gave up on yourself! 
 

Feeling very romantic this morning!

 

Love and hugs 

 

Tessa ❤️??

Happy Friday!  

Its going to be a summery day here in Maryland.  They say it will make it into the upper 80s.   A nice change from the cold weather we've had until now.

 

Also, a reminder that its National Nylon Stockings day!  It might be too hot to wear them, though...

How to Celebrate Nylon Stockings Day

Celebrate Nylon Stockings Day by purchasing your very own pair of stockings! Nylon stockings are classy and sleek. Whatever you wear them with, know that your legs will look fabulous in them anywhere you go! Buy a few pairs of stockings on this day and give them out to your friends.

Good afternoon.  Kind of hanging on today.

I want to get in on this too.

I wrote down name ideas and combinations for a couple of years.  Dozens, maybe hundreds of them. Most of them had meanings and connections.  Some just sounded cool.

At one point I realized I would never decide. I made an appt at the courthouse to start the process.  My new legal name is simply the last one on my list the day I filled out the initial paperwork.  Madelyn is my middle name now. I'd been using Maddie as 1st name for a couple years, but too many people thought it was Matt when I told them.

      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

    • 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.
