Good morning All. Coffees on.

Good morning everyone. On third day of HRT. Nipples are tender today, don't notice anything else different. Hydrating, and peeing is no different than normal.

 

I went to Cannon beach, Oregon once and saw hundreds of star fish and a couple crabs. I agree, they're cute.

 

Kymmie, I'm so sorry to hear you're hurting. I hope you're doing better. There is no greater pain than the ones we love hurting us. Hang in there, it'll get better.

Having some green tea instead is coffee this morning. I still wanted caffeine but I didn't want to drink coffee too often, so this seemed a reasonable compromise. ?

 

I realized the other day at work that I was subconsciously slumping forward at the shoulders. When I pulled my clavicles in and and straighted out my developing breasts were noticeable, if not glaringly so, through my three layers of shirts. Last night I was trying on the bras I had bought prior to medically transitioning and I'm mostly filling one B cup bra and comfortably filling the other (why can't manufacturers be consistent across brands?). So I'll be running over to the local Walmart and getting some bra strap extensions, and maybe checking out the A and B cup sports bras as well.

It sounds like the estrogen is going to town making changes already. I had to wait until I was in my fourth week before my nipples started the ouchies.

It may not be the bra. I don't think anyone has both breasts the same size. My right is bigger than my left. 

 

I think you're right. The Estrogen may be kicking in. I got my blood tests back from my first doctor app. before he put me on HRT. My testosterone was 378, in 193-950 range. My Estrogen was 11.1, in 11.3-43.2 range. My BMI was 1 point from being obese. Everything else was either normal or borderline. I'm trying to eat better now and exercising pretty much every other day. Didn't like the sounds of OBESE. I thought I was doing ok at 5'-10" 200# at 68 yrs old.

Well finally got my E refill. yesterday. So this is my 5th week. No tenderness, but I maybe seeing some growth. My nipples are calloused anyway from being pierced a few times. They are always perky.

 

Well today at work my son dropped off some paperwork I need to get copied. I didn't have time to put on my vest so he may have seen the name on my work shirt. Neither him or my wife are home right now. They came up together. so don't know where they are don't really care either.

 

So, to present more female at work.I am thinking of painting my fingernails again. I have just a clear-esh polish on them now. but looking at color. Thoughts?

 I was wondering what that status of son and wife are in regard to transition.... I hope you have told them and they are coming along if that is what you want. Depending on how work has accepted you I'd still kind of keep to lighter colors on nails to get them used to it unless you want to go gungho. I like a light pink.

I usually go clear, but I'm looking for a cool peach to match my skin tone. My suggestion is to find something fun and have at it. You need a little fun. Don't buy anything big at first, maybe find a sampler then go ahead and see what looks good on you. Find something that's really YOU and makes you happy. So long as it makes Kymmie happy, it's all good.

 

Hugs!

Hrm, so to spice it up... maybe one of those air/sea rescue colors that can be seen from space? Probably not very professional though. ?

I'm not really to keen on how hard data on how many people actually detransition, and how only the smallest percentage of them did so out of regret, was presented and yet the claim that "so many people are detransitioning" gets parroted afterwards in article. And the concern that kids are transitioning just for the attention or popularity, when there are so many easier ways to get those sort of rewards, just feeds into the whole "transtrender" false narrative.   If this article were truly balanced, rather than "balanced" in appearance, it would have focussed on the actual data and what scientists, doctors and actual trans folk were saying and less so on the dissenting voices that lack the data.

 

But that's just my read of it. I do like the message of loving your kids no matter what though.

My endocrinologist has seen trans people for over two decades. He has only had a few of them detransition, said it is very rare.

Hi y’all 

 

for all my diesel mechanic friends, just an update. I got the transmission separated and the cover plate off before my foot surgery.   I remove the bolts that held the flywheel to the crank as well, but that’s where I stopped.

 

today, I got back on the task. I finally got the flywheel off.  Then I managed to get the bell housing off. In Marine engines, the plate and the bell housing are made backwards compare to a car.  There is also a rear seal that is part of the bell housing but it doesn’t appear to be an oil seal though has the same construction.  Next I need to remove bolts from the front of the engine.  I’m hoping I won’t have to tear down the entire front end. Cam chain Timing, injection timing fuel pump, two water pumps lots of things I’d prefer to avoid touching.  But I also don’t know if it’s possible considering the gaskets.  What a pain just to pull the oil pan, to determine if the engine can even be repaired.  
 

on the nail polish debate, strictly clear for me. I tried a very neutral color once but that didn’t last long.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
