Yeah sure @Jani.  
 

Did you know that when snow gets drunk it takes on the attributes of fallen pine needles?  So if you come to sober up your weather you’ll be expected to take 20 or so bushel of pine needle like things home.

Mom found a remaining box of my old male clothing and did get rid of it.Was a box of jeans and I was glad she did get rid of them right away

Supposed to be in the mid 20's tonight.  My firewood source has not been very reliable these days.  So I got a propane heater that can be mounted on the wall - or freestanding.  Spent the last couple of days getting set up, and running a line under the house etc.  

I went over to the feedstore to get a tank filled.  The young guy who did it called me ma'am.  That made my day.  I wasn't even wearing a face mask at the time.

Made my day.

With the holiday coming up I got asked what I wanted. The only thing I really need is clothing. My wife responds that she doesn't, not wouldn't) want to go out with me if I'm wearing a skirt. I simply replied I will go it alone then. Hmmm, she was now OK with the idea of me in a dress or skirt, just not with her. This is how it started with tank top and bras which now she see's me in almost daily and is OK with it. Later she presented me the question about swimming. Since our new house has a pool and a lake nearby. I an not wearing a one-piece suit 

with shorts as previously suggested .  I pushed for a bikini top with a cropped T over and cute shorts. I don't know how or why, but she agreed. We'll see how all this goes.

I used to enjoy snow but that was when I didn’t mind staying up all night plowing and then go to work when it was done. Several years of that I’m officially over it. But I still can’t say no to plowing snow even though I don’t enjoy it.

 

I used to enjoy snow, but then I turned 16 and got a driver's license. :(

 

Plus, I hate being bundled up with too many clothes.

I grew up in northern Ohio, lots of snow there.

 

Another native northern Ohioan! High-five! :) And yes, we definitely get a lot of snow up here. According to an old friend now living around Columbus, even just that little 2-3 hour drive geographic distance spares them from most of the snow we get here around Cleveland. It's the "lake effect" here, that's what does it.

 

Coincidentally, we just had our first real snowfall of the season today, (right on time - juuuussttt after thanksgiving) and we really got dumped on. Just happened to have a busy errand schedule today, too, figures. But it did give me a snow-day off from work (?), so I guess I can't be too unhappy with it today:

You all should've seen the buck I spotted standing around the sidewalks as I was heading back from the gas station! (Gentrification isn't just a human problem...)

I agree! Especially because my cat has quickly decided that the most comfiest, coziest, happiest place to snooze while I'm asleep is...right between my legs. Cuddled up right there in the natural corner. *Sigh* She's a sweetheart, but she just doesn't understand human sensibilities...

:) That's great

 

Two days ago I was in line for the post office, dressed male head to toe, standing, without saying a word and with the mask on. Three different guys asked who was last in line and all of them read me and adressed me as female without any doubt whatsoever (you can't say a word in Catalan without gendering someone or something). Sigh...

Wow...it's all very pretty, but I think I'll stay in California for now.  75 and gorgeous today.  Put my headphones on and walked to the mall.  Almost bought some earrings at JC Penny, but the line to give them money was a deal breaker.  I also went to Macy's and confirmed that I have expensive taste in handbags.

 

@Gabriel...I feel for you.  I've been trying pretty hard to get read female, but even with the mask I've had limited success.  I am getting a few more stares though...maybe that's a step in the right direction.

Good morning.

I'm alive and things are as positive and moving ahead as they can be right now

Ann W, didn't JC Penney go bankrupt this year?  Maybe that line was people trying to get paid ;)

Good morning 

 

Ive already had my Doctor appointment for today.  Did so sitting here in my sunroom next to my wife with the dog nearby.  Drinking my coffee.  Now if that isn’t easygoing, I don’t know what is.

 

Coldest morning since last February.  Brrr.  But no snow.

I really admire your bravery. I can barely even imagine having the courage to even try in public if I felt there was any chance of being read "male". (Which, for me there certainly would be!) I guess that may be a bit of a roadblock... (Then again, my area does have a lot of less-accepting types.)

Oh, I love Fremont! It's been quite some time now, but back in college I used to pass through it all the time on my way to and from BGSU campus.

For myself, I just realized that if I let that stop me, I would be trapped at home forever.   

This is a pretty conservative area, and while I am mostly misgendered as male, I have never had any real trouble.  I am admittedly selective about where, and when I am in public.  But it gets easier and easier the more I do it.

Morning all. I am sorry for you @Gabriel presenting as male then being clocked. I know it is hard.

 

Had a weird dream me and the wife were having it out.  it was quite disturbing.

 

Sorry my emotions are running rampant I will be back in a few.

Good Morning @Maddee!  I hope the sun is shining for you today.

 

As to JCP, I think I read they found a buyer to stave off closing all the stores.  I'm sure there will be some closings.

Good morning everyone.  Its a very chilly start to the day here. Had a late night call that kept me up trying to help a friend deal with plumbing issues. Being the "go to guy" is one of my biggest dysphorias, so trying to think of ways to reduce that.  But don't want to tell people I won't be the one to help when needed.  ?

 

On the topic of the morning,  I have just started pushing my public femme side.  I've had mixed results. Most of those who are close to me did not recognize me.  Although I am not out to any of them yet. on the down side I have been told I look older.  And thats what I fear more than being clocked.   No woman wants years added.

@Willowand @Heather Nicole  too grew up in Northern Ohio moved from Toledo to Cleveland then out west to LA then back to Central Ohio - we hardly had snow last year Sunday and Monday we had more snow than all of last year. Actually felt good.

 

@Gabriel I am sorry what happened at PO. You certainly look male to me and I know I unfortunately still look too male to be even be considered being seen as the female gender I wish I was able to show others and have them believe me. Hang in there - you have made wonderful progress.

 

@Maddee - I'm glad to hear you are feeling more positive. Thumbs up girl.

@2beBreanna - I am proud of how brave you are and making progress. I am 68 and 5 months on HRT and still am not anywhere near being able to present female and be accepted. Age doesn't bother me so much as the time I lost being too afraid to move forward anyway.

Thanks,

 

A little better now. A couple of times my wife has told me in a hug.  I love you even though I don't understand. Yet, she admits she doesn't want to understand. Talk about a hypocrite.

 

I hate being trapped as I am. I just need to find a position.  I put myself in this position by getting my new truck. Maybe I was actually looking at the big picture having something dead reliable when I do.

 

Cold here today, Hi of only mid 20s got a little white crap on the ground.

Girl I hear ya loud and clear. I wish I would have realized long ago that I was actually female. May have save me a lot of grief. I guess hind sight is 20-20.

 

Hugs,

I feel ya, I'm hooked on Tory Burch and now Brahmin handbags.  

Getting stared at is a good sign. lol. Just try not to read into it. I try and keep the attitude of  "of course they are going to stare: i'm a 5'10" gorgeous redhead in heels, who wouldn't want to take a second look" haha.  Personally, from what I can see you've got it going on and people are bound to stare;)

It does take some bravery at first and you have to just not give a #$($ what people think. WHat the casual passerby thinks of you or me means nothing in our lives so.....

Once you get out there it just becomes normal after a few weeks.

Exactly. I am blessed with being in about as accepting of an area as possible so it was easier for me I think.

I have been afraid to move forward for way to long and its gotten to the point of I just need to take the steps forward.  I tried for 25 years to put this behind me due to fear. I am still scared to death with other steps.  We all make progress in different ways and different speeds. 

Reading everything on this site has helped me realize I can start even at an experienced age.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
