Well last night kinda sucked, some of the looting in Milwaukee happened less than a mile away from my house. Did manage a little sleep, currently drinking my lifebl.... er coffee. Watching the CSPAN coverage of the Crew Dragon docking at the ISS. 
 

Kind of debating, my bio-mother is coming for a few days to visit. I kinda want to do my makeup today, but on the other hand still have a lot of cleaning to do.

@JustineM, I’m glad you’re safe! That CrewDragon is a pretty cool machine huh?

 Thanks, worn out but safe here. And yeah, that is a sleek looking machine. Been trying to follow the testing and development of the program as closely as I can.

Went for a ride today. Over the Snowy range, stopped in a no stop light town. Had lunch then up to I-80 back to Laramie. Still quite a bit of snow up there. Turns out I only have a 4 day weekend. Have to open tomorrow. But off at 1pm Thursday and off Friday.

 

Hugs

@KymmieL,

 

That bike is GORGEOUS!!! I love taking my bike out in the good weather but family needs have kinda prevented my first ride of the season. I’ve been riding Buells for a few years now and love my S2 Thunderbolt. HD power in a tube chassis! 
 

Stay safe out there. Lots of cagers distracted by their phones. Remember, keep her rubber side down.

Morning comes, but not a wink of sleep to be had.?

But had me cup of joe. Sadly, I might need to buy a new bialetti coffee pot. Sounds like it's dieing. Such a high pitch screeching noise when it's barely started percolating. ?Cleaned as best I could, even cleaned the valve, still screeches like a beast. The metal filter for holding the grounds in, is such a pain to clean, feel it must be somewhat to blame.

Good morning everyone it’s Monday haha! Yesterday was a good day went for a little bike ride in the morning, did some housework, and did a little shopping even though we didn’t buy anything. Then my wife’s parents came over for dinner. They asked us if we wanted to go to Florida with them we said we would go, but I told my wife later I would go but I want to be out to them before we go. So coming out to them along with everyone else is gonna have to happen soon. Here I thought I could hide longer boy was I wrong lol.

Good morning,

 

I fully understand the not ready to come out to the world.  I too am there.  I have no advice to offer.

 

But, I have finally reached the critical point when you can’t stay private anymore.  No, it’s not because of anything in my physical appearance although my body hair has changed and I’ve seen a little breast growth.  It’s a mental thing.  You eventually get to the place that you don’t want to hide, but you are still scared.  I passed that point this weekend.  I told a friend who I knew wouldn’t judge, then I told my brother in law and his wife.  That was a hurdle I was concerned about because they are ultra conservative.  It actually was no problem.  They accepted it hugged me afterwards, and thanked me for confiding in them.  
 

I guess you never know but I broke through the barrier.  Yes it is also a weight off your mind.  Do it on your own timeline don’t force it, but you will feel relief when the time is right and you start telling people.

Good morning @Emily michelle!

 

My advice is to just do it. I know it's scary as all get out, but if you keep making excuses you'll never actually manage to come out on your own terms. Your first attempts will be bumbly and awkward. Don't panic. Like any skill, it needs to be practiced before you reach proficiency. Delaying only results in, for example, some random guy in the locker room commenting on how brave you are for changing in there despite your obvious female breasts.

 

The people that honestly care about you will still accept you. The ones that were on the fence could go either way. In any case, this is one of those situations where you really find out who your friends are and which family members you want to keep close.

 

I've got a pretty boring day planned. I've had waffles and gone through my morning maintenance routine. I expect to spend the rest of the day writing, going to doctor's appointments and figuring out what I'm going to do about dinner. I'm thinking Chinese barbecue chicken.

 

Hugs!

Fingers crossed, babe. But if you don't get this one, there are always others out there.

 

And with that resume, if they don't hire you, they're fools. And no one wants to work for a fool. So either way you come out ahead. 

 

Good luck, Babe! xoxo

  Sun is shining and The smell of coffee is in the air. A few quick errands, kiosk coffee with DD1, a small chore for the ex and then home. This afternoon will involve making the last three panels for my painting series.

  Some others here have been chatting about loss of male privilege and how the change from male to female effects things not previously considered. Example, I have been going to the same lumber yard for over a year to get the materials to make the panels I paint on. I have been charged three different prices. The owner who I have known since before I transitioned charged me $45, a male clerk I did not know charged me $53 ( his excuse was a milling fee for each cut of the plywood, four cuts @ $1.00 per cut) and the woman clerk who charged me $35. All for the same material, same previous dimensions and number of cuts. I wonder if something low cut would help or maybe just butch it up and see if there is a difference. As my ex said “You wanted to transition now you pay the price...welcome to being a woman”.

She looks great! Can’t wait to see a pic of ShawnaLeigh and Patti Anne together. What a cute couple!

 

Having my morning cup of java...vanilla Americana today. Not bad but it’s a flavor that I’d grow tired of very quickly. Will be doing gardening all day today.

Tomorrow, if plans work out, I’ll be spending the day at the park having a picnic with my 13 year old grandson and my wife. This will be very interesting because he has only been allowed to meet us once in a very controlled setting for an hour of so when I first ‘came out’ to them last April. My new son-in-law (his new step-dad) is NOT keen on anything trans and has kept both grandsons away from my wife and I. My grandson seems indifferent and shy about my changes but sometimes this attitude and hate for a group can be passed down. I hope this isn’t the case. I’ll find out tomorrow.

Dunno, I always get, "Well, YOU wanted this." Then we both laugh.

Ok. Good morning/afternoon all! I just had the absolute most amazing experience EVER!!!!

 

As I was walking back into work from lunch, I saw one of the front office people and called them by the name I knew them by. Ashley. They proceeded to let me know it was just Ash from now on and they are getting legal name change an all. To which brought on my conversation about me being trans the other way around. And it felt AMAZING to know I work with such an amazing variety of people!

 

Our HR manager is gay, one of my very good friends is lesbian, and now us trans on either side of the coin... All under the same roof!!! I love it!!!

 

Hugs ❤️

Hi everyone 

 

Love the new pic Patti.  Good luck with the Job interview Shawna.

 

I had a great day today.  My wife and I went shopping.  Michael’s for some sewing items them our mall to window shop.  No one appeared to see anything but two women shopping together.  Never got misgendered.  Even got a complement on the dress I was wearing.  This just topped off a great weekend.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at. 
    • Mmindy
      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
