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.

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...

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.

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.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys.   I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team.  When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together.

      People love bureaucracy.  It makes everything cut and dried, black and white, and often unjust, unmerciful, wasteful and downright stupid.

      This is why a blanket policy can never be fair.  Everything is not black and white.

      Men's t shirt, women's jeans, hipster panties, flip-flops that could go either way.

      Common sense seems to be missing from a lot of these discussions.  In my Taylor story he is jumped brutally in a boys' bathroom his freshman year, something he is still trying to straighten out 8 years later and has a radical effect on his life.  Bullying can go either way. Transwomen in the prison system are happy to go to women's prisons, but I have heard that transmen stay in the womens' prison, because they would be killed in the mens' prison.   I am leery of blanket "every kid should...." statements and laws everywhere.  To echo a writer you may never heard of, Preston Sprinkle, you should work these things out with the child, and if necessary, with the parents, and communicate.  I don't think a child capable of penetration should sleep with girls on an overnight, or be in a girls' locker room.  Trans kids have limitations as a result of their condition, sort of like people in wheelchairs cannot go mountain climbing, but here is the social realm. Accommodate as you can, but there are limits.  The cisgender kids have rights.  I am not sure where to draw the line as to whose rights should win out.  Nor am I sure regulation imposed by a Legislature or a school board is the way to go.  We saw Louden.    I see no reason for an mtf who transitioned before puberty to not play girl sports, but a child who goes through male puberty has enormous physical advantages over the girls, and we are seeing girls injured.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Years passed.  The kids grew up and they were empty-nesters.  Lois went full-time at her company.   "We have a Halloween party every year."  He had heard of that.    "You've upheld your end of our bargain for so very long.  How about - do you have something appropriate to wear in the female line?"   Did he.  She was dressed like a penguin, but he wore a women's skirted suit, dark hose, one-inch heels, gold jewelry, well-done makeup and a wig.   "I would not recognize you.  What's this?"   "Padding."    "If I didn't know better I would think you were just a rather tall businesswoman.  No one at the party knows you, no one is expecting a man in drag.  How about your voice and walk?"   He had obviously been practicing them.   The party was a blast.  Odie was happier than she had ever seen him, freer somehow, reveling in being feminine. Lois liked "her" as a charming friend.   "That was fun," he said, driving home.   "It is hard now to think you are a man," she said, and looked at him.   "To tell you the truth I had such a wonderful time I never want to wear men's clothing again. I will, because I must."   "I mean, you are convincing as a woman.  More than you are as a man."   "I think we need to get some professional help."   And they did.  Lois was determined to walk through this, as was Odie, and when he learned she was not walking out but working through, he was overjoyed.    
    • Ivy
      I am aware of this.  It seems a little unnecessary considering that most of us do this at home every day of our lives.  But okay.  It does seem a bit harsh to require the trans kids to go outside and find a bush to poop under.  Stalls with a little more actual privacy might help.  But the real problem is trans people's existence.  Not to worry, the GOP is working o that one. I don't think this would be as much a problem if the transphobes didn't harp on it so much.  There are already laws about stalking and assault. Perhaps, if as a society we were more open about our bodies we could get past this.  Not that this is likely to happen tho.   Yeah.  That's the problem with these laws.  Kids - especially teens, need some privacy of their own to grow up into who they are.  I can see where a kid might experiment with pronouns for a couple of months, and then decide it's not for them.  Pity for them to get beat up in the meantime.   I (thankfully) didn't know everything my kids got into.  And I know my parents didn't know everything about me.   We can give our guidance, but ultimately they need to figure it out on their own.
