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.

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.
