when I came out to my wife, her first reaction was anger, saying I was dead to her and killed our 44 years of marriage. Today she's helping me change my clothing and slide down the androgynous scale. I'm still in video counseling and doing better. After my last session my Suzie asked me how I was doing?

That must have been some hard months in between. It's an inspiring story. Thanks for sharing Mindy, and I'm so glad you can have that freedom with your wife.

That's great Alex-John. Keep us posted about your changes and how you're feeling about them

Hey everyone. The coffee's definitely on early today for me, have been battling insomnia on some nights lately. I should know better than to make it worse with caffeine but here I am. I think it's coming from a combination of a mind full of thoughts, my body adjusting to the changes it's going through, and the stresses of working a job very impacted by the pandemic. Hoping to spend some of the weekend taking care of myself!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

That's the key! I totally get what you mean. I'm piling stress on top of stress lately too. Chill out weekend will work wonders

Good morning. My coffee is sweet with a splash of milk.

My wife and I both got our hair done last night. It's really nice our stylist makes house-calls. By the time my wife finished (2-1/2hrs later) her back was killing her and she went to lay down. Now it was my turn. A few minutes later I could hear my wife on the phone. I didn't know or care who she was talking to. All I knew is I was getting something super cute with red and brown colors in my hair. It was the fist time she had used foil in my hair. A little while later I hear my wife from the bedroom start saying my name, my true name. Which she had only done once or twice in arguments over the last year. I just sat there, getting my hair done, thinking I'm going to have to defend myself...again. a few more minutes got by and she exits the bedroom and hands me her phone. So-and-so wants to talk to you. He doesn't believe me. She had been talking a child hood friend. Reluctantly, I take the phone from her. Immediately he starts in......  Do you prefer Elizabeth or Liz? I was stunned. During my silence he starts explaining that he supports me and how his boss's son is now her daughter. I gave him what's becoming my standard reply. I prefer Elizabeth but will accept Liz unless you piss me off then I'll make you pronounce all 4 syllables. I handed her the phone back and finished my hair. They were on the phone for a good 2 hours and apparently (go figure) most of the conversation was about me. They've know each other since they were 5yrs old. I'm hoping since she talked to her cis, hetero guy friend, that she's known for pretty much all of her life, she'll be more understanding and accepting of me. He's very supportive and understanding so I don't see any chance of things getting worse. Time will tell.

 

Now my coffee's cold.

Good afternoon.  Getting ready to pick up our son at the Charleston airport.  
 

Elizabeth, sounds like quite a conversation between your wife and her friend.  Also acceptance from him may help.

 

I had my group meeting last evening.  I had a lot of good news to share.  Not many people attended but all the regulars were there.

 

Have a good weekend .  With my son here I may not get back here.

Happy Birthday @JustineM

 

Well I tested POSITIVE for COVID.

 

Persistent low grade headache is the only thing I’m dealing with so far. The fever 99.5 woke me up at 03:15 has been gone since I started taking Advil.

 

I’m still able to taste and smell my hot black coffee.

Welcome to the club...? At least there's no dues. Sorry, bad joke. It was pretty rough when I had it in August. My advice is lots of water and sleep. I hope you have someone there that can get you help if needed.

@Mmindy I'm sorry to hear you are positive for the virus.  I do hope it passes soon.  At least you don't have to quarantine here.  We all socially distanced!

I hope you get well quickly Mindy.

happy birthday Justine!

We had a small birthday party for a friend last night while we were all talking and laughing a friend of mine her sister comes up in tears and was like I just wanted to tell you how great I looked and how happy I looked. Then she was like I’m so sorry for using your deadname before. At the end of our conversation she gave me her number and was like if you ever want to talk about anything I’m always here for you and support you. I’m blown away by how nice and supportive some people have been. It feels so validating

Thank you everyone for the well wishes, and encouragement. ?

 

Day one testing Positive for COVID-19. Woke up at 03:15AM with a 99.5 fever and a low grade headache. Took two Aleve tabs with a big glass of water went back to bed, and slept to 10:00AM. No fever but the headache is still low grade with pressure behind my eyes. I kept busy in the shop tinkering, and watching College Football. When I start to feel the headache coming back it more Aleve. This evening sitting in my chair I started to shiver, no fever, so I covered up and fixed a hot green tea. My wife and I already sleep in separate bedrooms and use separate bathrooms. So now we're wiping down all common touch surfaces and wearing mask when we're in the same room. It's going to be an interesting ride. I'm as healthy as I've ever been and don't have any worries about my situation. My wife on the other hand is more of a risk. I'll post a daily update.

 

Digital Hugs are still from the heart.

Thank you @KymmieLI'm being told that days 8 and 9 are the toughest days, and I'm only on day one of confirmed symptoms. I will be looking for time for us to ride together.

Hi

 

been watching or checking scores of college football games.  Ohio State beat Michigan State, Coastal Carolina beat BYU and Clemson is ahead by 28 points with 6 minutes to go over Virginia Tech.  Football has always been my favorite sport to watch on tv, but I no longer pay attention to the NFL.

 

Have (oops Clemson just scored again) a great night and day tomorrow.

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
