Good morning All. Coffees on.

Morning everyone,

 

I'm out of coffee and drinking hot tea again.

 

My shoulder is killing me from the vaccination this morning. I'm also having some trouble believing what I was told yesterday really happened. As of right now I don't believe she'd share a dressing room with me but who know at this point. I can only hope.

 

So what happens when a chicken can't lay anymore eggs? Is it now less of a chicken? Oh wait, that's usually when it's put down and used for food. I see where they're going with this. It's starting to sound like Logan's Run to me.

@WillowCongrats!  How liberated you must feel.  Keep us posted on the journey.

@ElizabethStarThat's wonderful.  Once you get your wife using proper pronouns/name etc, she's gonna be on a tear when she hears others misgender you!  I can see her shifting from her resentful state in the past to full on vocal ally soon.

 

Kimmy, enjoy your time alone. I would opine that your shouldn't put the burden of explaining your actions/feelings to your family on your wife. Take control of the narrative if you want your side to be told.

Elizabeth it is amazing that so many do not realize this!  From my time attending support groups I believe there are more trans-men than trans-women.  Because of our male centric society, the focus is on us.  I'm glad things are going better at home.

My wife and I finally had our talk. It started this morning, finally and it was calm and rational. It went really good. 

We now have a lot more understanding of each other so for now at least we're good and I really do have her support and she does understand that I am doing this for me.

OMG! she is all for it. She is really pushing to show my family how accepting and supportive she is. Kinda sucks it's not until the end of July.

 

This is wonderful news Liz. I'm really happy for you!

Nah, they just terminated them in Logan's Run. You're thinking Soylent Green.

I think it has more to do with how hard they are to spot. MtF's make much easier targets. Honestly, trans-men are just short, and not always that. I know plenty of short men who aren't trans too.

 

@ElizabethStar, if you're looking for a trans-man for your wife to watch, I subscribe to Jammidodger. He's very wholesome, non-threatening and occasionally records with his partner. He could be a good place for your wife to start if she wants to learn about trans-men.

 

Hugs!

Hey Elizabeth, that's great news about your wife.  I'm so happy for you.

 

On a different subject: Okay, so the rain is just pounding against the side of the house.  I'm thinking I picked an ugly day to go shopping.  On the other hand, any day when I can express my inner woman is a great day.  So, with umbrella in hand, I'm going out in spite of the rain.

Rainy here, but no tornado yet.

Got home this morning from a babysitting gig with my granddaughter.  My daughter is a teacher there and their schedules are crazy massed up with the "in person/remote learning" switch ups.  So I spent a couple of nights in the big city.

I should be getting my 2nd shot next week.  After that I hope I can get out a bit more.  I've been holed up at the house for over a year now.  It's getting old, really old.

@ElizabethStar Great news hearing that your wife is coming around.

@Willow So glad to hear that your wife is supporting you.

 

I am so happy for the good news from you both. I have been feeling down and confused the past two weeks and this news has helped lift my spirits more then I thought it would.

@ElizabethStarI love this passage from your wife, I'm so happy you're working things out with her.

??????????

"She out-right told me that I am going to wear cute dress and high heels. So she wants me to be hyper-feminine for a couple days? Try to stop me. She also told me a few things she wants to tell my mother but was using "son" when refering to me, I had to stop her and suggested she uses daughter instead. OMG! she is all for it. She is really pushing to show my family how accepting and supportive she is. Kinda sucks it's not until the end of July.

 

Good morning everyone,

 

My coffee was Hot, black, and strong. Breakfast was scrambled eggs with sausage crumbles.

Today I went to the Dentist

Yeah Jandi,

 

My wife and I bought a small camper so we could take the Grandchildren around to experience National Parks and simple camping life. None of it has taken place because of the COVID Pandemic, our older grandkids are in their middle to late teens and will be to busy with college and new jobs to spend a couple of weeks with us. Our younger grandsons are not able to leave their house until my daughter is comfortable with the national vaccine levels. I really do miss getting out of town and teaching my grandchildren about the wonders of our National Parks.

 

Stay positive, and safe,

 

Mindy???

Hi,  basically waiting for the severe storms to get here. The longer it takes the worse it may be.  Warm, windy and humid now.  All things that contribute to bad storms around here.

 

@ElizabethStar that’s really good news about your talk with your wife and how it went.  Have fun this summer at the family get together.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes.  I am looking forward to all the freedom.  I’ve been packing clothes into vacuum bags in between working on bathroom tiles.

Great to hear, Liz. Cute dress and heels.

 

Why can't my wife ask that. Oh, that is right she doesn't understand my need to be female.

 

Finally let my therapist know about the issue I had with the family lately. She called and we talked a little about it. Had my video appointment with my GYN. Everything is going good. Will be doing labs when I go over to my speech appointment tomorrow. She wants to check my E and T levels. Hopefully E is up and T is way down.

Well actually feeling good right now. Even though I haven't heard anything from my wife or son in 24 hours.

Tracker in my new truck has them at our oldest sons.

 

Jackie, just remember, "Soylent  Green is people"

 

LOL.

Well, need to present as female. You're already a woman. Always have been. There was just a mix-up at the factory while you were being assembled.

My wife and I finally had our talk. It started this morning, finally and it was calm and rational. It went really good. Apparently the root cause of our conflict is that I didn't trust her enough to tell her what I was going through. She paralleled my inner struggle to her life-long fight with her weight. We now have a lot more understanding of each other so for now at least we're good and I really do have her support and she does understand that I am doing this for me.

 

We also got our first round of covid shots today. While we we were there the staff used she/her with me without any prompting and my wife didn't argue with them although she used he/him. On the way home she asked me if I had used the ladies or men's room while getting our shots. I replied honestly that I had. I think maybe she didn't understand why until I asked how she thought things would have gone for me if I used the men's room. This lead into me trying to explain all the different genders and what they mean. She had no idea that there are trans-guys too. I'm going to direct her to Jackie's YouTube videos so she can learn more.

 

A couple days ago I told my wife about a conversation I had with my mother. I had asked my mother if I was going to have any problems with her family when I go up there this summer. She said if I tone down my clothing I "should be" OK. Just jeans and a t-shirt like the other girls. I had to explain that I wasn't going to show up in a pair of booty shorts and bikini top. Today my wife decided to give me her opinion on it. She out-right told me that I am going to wear cute dress and high heels. So she wants me to be hyper-feminine for a couple days? Try to stop me. She also told me a few things she wants to tell my mother but was using "son" when refering to me, I had to stop her and suggested she uses daughter instead. OMG! she is all for it. She is really pushing to show my family how accepting and supportive she is. Kinda sucks it's not until the end of July.

 

 

I think that was the biggest problem with my wife. I didn't let her know what I was going through. I'm glad that it's going well for you now.

Hi,

 

just wanted to let you know we didn’t get any severe weather.  A little bit of rain and higher winds but the storms went out over the ocean about 10 miles south of us.  Jandi, I hope all is well there.  Out weather showed it went over you then drifted east.

 

lots to do today.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
