Tess, me and my wife have been together for 35 years. I've known her for 50. We still love one another. Only problem is she will let me transition however we won't be married anymore. That is the hard part. That is why I cut off 12" + of hair. And slowed down with my transition.

 

Well The town car is gone, the junk yard came and got her today.  $85.50 is all I got for her. metal prices are way down.

 

82 degrees today beautiful. warmer tomorrow. It is sun dress weather yet I can't wear one. plus I don't have any either. LOL.

I’m sorry your wife said that is the only way you can transition. That’s what scared me the most about telling my wife she even asked me twice if I was transgender of course at that time I denied it and she said good because she would have left. When I actually broke down o guess she had a change of heart and is supportive. Hopefully she may come around and see the light.

scrap is really down of course it never really rebounded from several years ago.

I wish it was 82 here it was cloudy and misting rain all day here. At least I know I will be underground tomorrow so it will be 65 and dry just dark lol.

I sadly can't go back to folgers coffee. Have to order a particular kind. Started young drinking coffee, think I would have died without it. I need it at least once in my day.

I'm sorry Kymmie. A divorce is difficult and sad regardless of the circumstances. Especially if it's someone who you've known so long.

Good Morning! Today will be another work at home day. Not seeing as many extensions lately. More people are paying their loans. Good sign of recovery. Places are opening but I haven’t gone anywhere but Walmart, Target, Gas Station, and fast food places. Not inside yet. 
 

Starting my day with a warm bubble bath. I will see kids tonight. We usually watch Waverly Place. I’ll probably stop at Sonic for them. It’s their favorite. 
 

Feeling ok right now. This week is dress week at my work. I’ll be posting what I wear. Tell me what you think? 
 

Have a good day everyone! 
 

Love 

 

Tessa?‍?❤️

I grind my own beans bright and early in the morning, even before my face is awake yet. Makes passable coffee taste better than passable. Good coffee really takes off!

I'm into my second cup this morning.

Have been very busy with deadlines and appointments. Laser Hair Removal begins again this week. Yay!

But I have several exhibition deadlines to meet over the next 2 weeks. Plus a proposal to submit. Going to be touch and go making deadlines.

Good morning everyone,

 

I'm in my live waiting room at Doxy.me, all dressed up with my teeth brushed and flossed so my pot deep coffee breath doesn't fog the screen or microphone. When the room opens up I'm ready to say Good Morning My Name is Mindy Moore with a smile.

 

Best wishes and Hugs for everyone,

 

Mindy???

YES!!!!!!!

I was called yesterday afternoon by my surgeon office.  I am finally scheduled for my surgery!

Next Wednesday the 27th I will have this %@$^$^@$@&$@&*%## lump removed along with a Bi-lateral Orchiectomy!

You can not imagine to sense of pain relief this will be for me.

Plus the gender surgery to boot.

I'm so very happy.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Congratulations @ShawnaLeigh! That's fantastic news! Also about friggin' time.

 

@Tessa, that's a lovely dress. How's it fit?

 

I'm going to go find something for breakfast. All I've done today is exercise, shower and dilate. Whee.

 

Hugs!

@ShawnaLeigh I am happy for you.  I hope all goes well.

 

@Patti Anne Shawna told you and you have recognized something most all of us older women have come to realize.  Even as a child, I wasn't exactly all boy, but I sure didn't know or thing I was a girl.  I've done every thing a boy or man was expected to do all while denying myself to my self.  I had refused to seek help for years for anger issues.  Finally I got so bad I found a therapist and couldn't wait to get my first appointment.

 

@KymmieL As for your wife and the prospect of divorce, I've been married for 48 years.  3 years ago when I started seeing my therapist and figured out what was going on, I told her.  Bad move, even my therapist told me after I had done it it was too soon.  Damage done.  Her initial reaction was after Christmas I'm moving out.  Well, we've worked really hard together and while she would not accept me having GCS, she is doing better with all things Willow.  Then again, I'm not yet out although I'm trying to come up with a plan to make that happen.

Good morning everyone! It’s a day off so I just got out of bed lol. Coffee is beginning to work it’s magic so I can try and be productive today. Have to work on my stove today see if I can figure out what’s wrong with the oven temp controls. 
 

@Tessa I haven’t managed to successfully complete a story yet so I’m a long way from even considering publishing.

I was the same way. I do realize now that I showed some female tendencies.

My wife won't even let me even dress. beyond what I have been doing for years. my therapist and I have been working on coming out. All three of my son now know. Along with my 2 daughters in law. my middle son and wife accepts me totally. my youngest is hard to read. but He seems to be against. My oldest is still mad at me for being truthful with him. his wife is the same way. but I don't really know. All I know is she doesn't even talk to me. SO that is a negative. 

 

My wife wouldn't accept anything more at all. I would be single is I even hinted on going out dressed. Even keeping going with my meds would probably lead to the single life for me. which I am, I have been on blockers for about a year. Now almost  6 months on luprilide (sp) last check my T level was under 20 IIrc.

 

There area few reasons to get the D but one thing still trumps those,I still love her with all my heart.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Thank you girls! (and guys)

Its been a long road with this pain. I first noticed it back in February and it was determined it had to come out soon afterwards.  My first surgery scheduled for April 13th was a long enough wait believe me and I was a week away from it when CV cancelled everything. 

I cried  A lot.  

Its a mass about twice the size of a regular testicle on/in my left testicle.  It is unbelievably painful and the pain radiates up the spermatid cord and nerve bundle that's is attached to the testicle into my abdomen causing massive nausea.  Its can drop me to the floor if I step wrong.

So yes this new date is a blessing for sure.

Luckily I can get my complete Orchi done at the same time as they are already taking the left with this lump issue.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.
    • MaybeRob
      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."  
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      Decided to head for Lowes after work early and bought a new stove.Was in stock and put it back of my truck.Luckily a neighbor of mine whom does appliance repair did come to remove the connection and convert the stove to natural gas in the new one.Was set up for propane.Happy with it and the scrap metal guy came to pick up my old one.He was happy to get it,said he needed one more to make it a load in his trailer full of junk appliances

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance. 
    • KatieSC
      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.
    • Emily Chen
      Thanks a lot for letting me know! Unfortunately, I'm not available during this time period. Have a great meeting!
