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.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.
