(sorry admins if bandwidth is an issue here,

 

Bandwidth is not an issue thankfully. The fee we pay each month allows us unlimited bandwidth and we usually top 100Gb each month. The only limit is set to actual size (height x width) and overall image (erm) size (how many Kb it is). Really massive multi megabit images are discouraged due to the length of time they take to display and for those still using dialup (are there many these days?) or have poor broadband speeds.

@Heather Nicole I am happy you talked with your GP and heard from therapist. Big step. I use Equitas for HRT and am registered with Cleveland Clinic for possible surgeries. Christina is the office but for LGBTQ care at ccl. She is wonderful. CC works with Equitas and I am happy with both. Best wishes.

Things I don’t have to worry about explaining anymore. Why I have 2 pairs of shoes on the floor, 3 changes of clothes in the trunk and glitter all over the back seat of my work/service car.

I really love the design of the first one, but I think the other two might suit me better. Oh! And the dress has pockets! I didn't even know that when I ordered!

 

I love how much softer the materials are in women's wear.

 

It's funny, I've never, ever gotten excited about new clothes before in my life, and it was easy to just chalk that up to "Well duh, guys don't usually get excited about clothes." I guess for me it was a different reason after all! :D

 

I think they fit you well and look great on you. Nice choices.  I LOVE CLOTHES SHOPPING now.  Hated it before.

I have discovered what all the fuss was about in regards to finding that "perfect fitting pair of jeans". I had two pairs but with my weight loss journey now they are baggy. #ConflictingEmotions.   Good luck on your weight loss plan, I'm confident you can reach your goals. You have lots of motivation now.  Once you are comfortable shopping at stores, go to thrift shops since you are going to drop sizes frequently you don't want to spend a lot on clothes that might only fit a month.  Women's clothes have a very narrow "fit range" per size I've discovered. The nice thing about that is when you go from a 20-18-14 etc  in reasonable amounts of time it is very rewarding and keeps you motivated.  

Hugs

Today I’ve managed to make 6 months on hrt. I’m so happy. Its hard to believe how far I’ve come. I would have never thought I’d make it this far. I have my moments but I’m in a much better state than I was before. The changes are great I actually have boobs now and I have to wear a bra when I go out. It’s funny I used to be so happy to wear a bra now sometimes I can’t wait to take it off. My skin is much softer now even though it is much easier irritate. I actually just noticed my face is beginning to look rounder. I smiled the other day when I looked in the mirror and actually saw Emily. I’m excited to see what the next 6 months bring.

Congrats!

You make me laugh on a regular basis! 

Add to that the hernias and back problems with the weight of large purses filled with extra layers of clothes, the "comfy shoes' when you can't make it a full day at work in the heels, make up, wallet, various hair control accessories...........  I think my purse weighs in at 15-20lbs. lol.  

I refuse to allow glitter into my life ;). that stuff gets everywhere.

Good morning, the coffee is HOT, BLACK, and STRONG.

 

OldfolkAdvice: The empty nest is worth the wait.

"Let them fly, and be free." Has many meanings.

Does it only free the one who leaves, or are you both now free?

 

Don't get me wrong, I love when my family comes home to visit. I'm also relieved when they leave.

 

Hugs for you all.

They do say that grandchildren are the best revenge.  LOL

I have no regrets over having a family, but it can be nice to have you life back - even if it is a bit confusing at times.

My therapist told me about a trans friend who it turns out was actually intersex. They discovered a uterus and ovaries when they went in for the vaginoplasty and just hooked everything up more-or-less correctly. She had her first period at forty.

 

Been meaning to reply to this. I can't even begin to express how utterly beyond amazing I find this!

 

One of the little "clues" I've had in the past, pointing towards me not being entirely cis, was that the first time I learned about intersex, I found myself fantasizing that during some doctor visit in the future, they'd discover that I had...umm...internal lady parts, but the entrance was just covered up by the guy parts. Maybe covered up by biology, maybe by at-birth "corrective" surgery I was never told about, but somehow. And that that would give me a legitimate excuse to get it "recorrected" and get to be a girl. (Not sure I ever really did understand the specific draws towards being a girl, it was just kind of there whenever the topic happened to present itself.)

 

But I never would've imagined something like that could actually be plausible!

Well I am back to work,  my Monday.  It looks as if I will be coming out at work sooner than later.  I checked the directory for our store.  Under my nickname it is Kymbrill.  Then when I finished some paperwork.  It printed by Kymbrill  Hunter.  

 

While I am happy to see my preferred name used. I am also scared at the same time.  Not knowing if it is the right time to come out at work.  Or even if I really want to. 

Right time or not,  I guess the kitty is out of the burlap.  LOL. 

Well not sure when it came into affect.  I guess I will see.

Good morning,

I have much needed coffee again. It's messed up. It's Saturday, I don't have to work and woke up at 4:30. Now it's 6:45 and I've already taken a nap.

 

*Doing my nails while writing.*

 

Yesterday one of girls from our other building called me out of the blue. She invited me to go on an Autumn  walk in the woods and look at leaves with her and a bunch of other ladies from work. It know it's all good but part of me is thinking this is how horror movies start "Hey, let's go for walk...in the woods".

 

*Nail chips filled*

 

During my nap I had a dream I met a cute trans-guy who was really into me. I tend to have reoccurring dreams so we'll see where it goes. Maybe I'm as gay as I think.

 

*Filing*

 

I recently got a pair on knee high boots. I just love them. Cute and comfortable, didn't know it could happen. Paired with an over-sized sweatshirt. One of my favorite looks.

 

*More filing. Glitter polish is hard to file smooth*

 

My job has a room full of company logo'd clothing we can go "shop" in if we need something. I got a 2-sizes too big company sweatshirt. Wore it with my new boots. Almost wore leggins but opted for jeggings. I'd be very upset if I ruined my leggings climbing around an attic.

 

*top coat..lots of top coat*

 

I have found my casual fall fashion. Now i need something dressier.

 

*Hands in the dryer. And we're done.*

It appears it already happened. That makes this the right time. Otherwise...If not now, when?

@ElizabethStarl@elizabethslove the nails. I think it should make you feel good being accepted as one of the girls and going into woods. Just don't pick the poison ivy or poison oak leaves.

Liz, you are right. For over 50yrs I have been  hiding Kymbrill.  Now is the time for her to see this huge rock we live on. 

We upon more checking on the system.  My name has changed in other  places as well. So if the "update" happen yesterday.  I guess probably most everyone knows.

Don't be nervous, it will probably go way better than you think. Our fears tend to take us to worst case scenarios.  Keep us posted. Sometimes the band-aid just needs to ripped off right?

Congrats on the girls adventures inclusions!  

OMG your post just cracks me up with the whole nail progress and DAMM- can you do mine?  

What brand /style of knee highs did you get? a girl needs to know.  I've been shopping for three weeks now for those and haven't found any that fit my size 12 wide feet but skinny calves.

Coffee consumed, dog walked, wIshed my incredible wife Happy Birthday, now it's off to stand in line and vote with her.

I want to make sure that I do everything in my power to protect the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community that so many before me had worked hard to get and has made my transitioning so much easier and accessible.

@Bri2020I got them at the mall from a store called Off Broadway Shoe warehouse. I wear size 11 and they had options form. I don't know if they have bigger. I did over pay for the but I had cash I won in a sports game pool. Can't buy on-line with cash.

I always look at this as, "Well, if not now, when?" If we wait for the perfect time, we'll wait forever. Better to rip the band-aid off and peek at whatever's underneath.

Good Morning everybody. It is a brisk 44 degrees this morning, and I am okay with it because it is Fall weather at its finest. @KymmieL I had a recurring fear that they were starting to do a slideshow/PowerPoint introduction on a team I was on and I was scared to be nominated, because I could just imagine that being my coming out on PowerPoint. If you already took step 1, might as well take step 2. I know it is scary, but it is going to happen eventually, at least that is what I tell myself.

 

I don't have much planned for the day off, I am about to go get my mermaid coffee and get some donuts because those sound good to me. Not much really happened this week except coming out to two of my aunts, and one I know read the email the other I don't know if she did read the email or not yet as she hasn't replied or anything. The aunt who did reply, says she is going to need some time to think it over and process it. Which I am giving her time and I talked with her this morning like nothing has happened. So I am not sure what that means or anything like that.

Just got back from social distancing voting. Too cold for me, 39 degrees. A lot of people were staring at me, I just stare back. I'm pretty sure it was my outfit. Witches wear black, get over it. I wasn't even wearing a cute hat, just a beanie.

 

I'm too happy and smiley to care what anyone thinks of me anyways.

.....I can't hear you over my happiness.

 

I'm going to stay inside  today, drink coffee, do some much needed housework and a little deaf dog training.

That would be a lot of band-aids to rip-off at one time.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Been a good day.Cleaned my closet of clothes that I do not wear anymore and do not fit me.It looks better now.Came down to my newest property beside mine,owner passed and I inherited it.There was a double wide there that was removed,it was in bad shape.It is the shop part I am keeping which I got the tools,shop equipment,benches,hoists and shelving too.

      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.
