@Bri2020 ha! I love me some good leftovers! Super excited to hear about your telling your father and it going so well! I will say, the last 2 years of my life have been very hectic with my transition. It’s always appointments, blood work, therapy, now recovery and planning what is next in my journey! It gets better though!

Well up early. Opening the store today. It is supposed to be warmer with a high forecast for 70.

 

Have a good day,  and for my brothers and sisters in the west say safe.

It is a beautiful day here in NJ.  Sunny with a light breeze.  74 degrees.......lovely especially after the storm two nights ago that dropped 3+ inches of rain in 1/2 hr.   Pity i you;dn't have sent that one to somewhere with fires ranging.

 

Hugs,

It's been cold and rainy here all day. I'm just staying in my pj's and drinking coffee. I feel like we skipped Autumn, I'm not ready for winter.

I am just glad the dew point has got out of the 70's here. We had some rain long with a temperature drop, but the humidity is the worst part where I live.

 

Those on the West coast, stay safe. I'm praying the fires get contained soon.

 

Hugs,

Mike

Just had a lovely brewed coffee and looking out into the green hills on this beautiful spring morning.

It's hard to see any remnants of the fires last Christmas. Maybe a burnt tree stump among the green grass.

I hope everyone over there is as blessed as we were and they stay safe and well. Property can be replaced lives cannot.

 

Hugs

Watched a couple more episodes of Hanna on prime. last night. Haven't binge watched anything yet.

 

Happy last day of the weekend. Of course it isn't mine.

 

Hugs to all my friends

Just waking up for the second time this morning. Starting my vacation, stopping the night at my Grandma’s house. It is hard to see her in the mental state she is in, as she is starting to get pretty far along with dementia.

 

I have also been given crap though for my longer hair which is now shoulder length. I guess it is something I am going to have to simply get used to for the week.

Family is good at that. I made it a point to let my family know that my employer doesn't have a problem with it.

 

On a side note. I got a call from HR at the end of the day on Friday regarding changing everything to my preferred name. Aside from drafting a letter to go out to company they are writing company policies for including  members of the LGBTQIA community.

@ElizabethStar,

    It is really great that you have been treated fair and with respect by your work. You've helped each person that joins the company in future too. This is the kind of progress the community desperately needs. That's something to be proud of for sure.

Thanks @Abi.

 

I'm happy they're doing it. I know there were complaints a few years ago when I was just getting my feet wet by growing out my hair and a little cross-dressing. Maybe a lot of complaints. I had a meeting with 2 managers. I consider them both friends so it was casual but they were told to tell me to stop CD-ing. It was very awkward for all of us and I'm pretty sure they could see the tears I was trying to hold back. Nothing was ever enforced and it never came up again. Later I found out it came from another member (self proclaimed homophobic) of management who was trying to make his own policies without consulting HR.

Morning girls. Hope everyone has a great day. I heard from my ex-girlfriend last night. She said she misses me.   Think there's any hope?

Don't be silly. There's always hope.

 

Unless, of course, that was a pun because her name is hope. In which case, shame on you. ?

 

Hugs!

Thanks, her name is Mary. We had a discussion the other night. She says I'm a totally different person in female personna. I told her I was the same person. If she couldn't accept it, then we don't stand a chance.

I don't think that's really true. You're the same person, just different parts of you are at the fore when you're being yourself than when you're wearing your male persona. I know my core personality is the same, just different bits get accented.

 

Hugs!

We are the same person before and after, but we do change.  My wife noticed that I am less uptight, and thinks I am more fun to be with than I was before.  Still me, but a happier me.

My girlfriend doesn't like my female side.She says she fell in love with a guy. I envy you girls who's partners are accepting and loving.

@KathyLauren although my wife hasn't said so - I can tell she likes the real me better and we talk more and I finally have shown interest in cooking and she was amazed. I don't have a great sense of smell so food was mainly to stay alive (even during my anorexic days) - but HRT has actually improved my sense of smell (not a lot but noticeable) and I am interested in giving my wife a break from cooking AND I actually am enjoying shopping more - who'd a thought.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
