Then how do you measure bra fit? Admittedly finding my bra size is like finding unicorn eggs in my cat's litter box, but I keep an eye on it.

Ewwwww why watch your cats litter box.  I always thought people from Livonia were weird. You were closer to Northville. LOL.

 

The goal for me is to actually go out with my wife while I am dressed as Kymmie. Maybe in a few OK a couple thousand years.

I actually grew up in Northville. ?

 

I'm allergic to kitty litter dust though, so that's the one household chore I DON'T do.

I have Gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). So I have a head start on transition. My left breast is larger than the right one. I thing I am getting close to a B cup on the left side and the right side smaller. I used a 36 B (shoulders are about 40)yesterday and had to adjust (stuff) both sides with a small amount if tissue on the left and more on the right. It looked quite normal. Hopefully some day they will both be the same side.

Hi

 

long day.  So, bra size I don’t carry much fat so I don’t measure my band size as many times as my over the breast measurements.  Now i’ve heard some say bend over at the waist to measure your breasts.  That does add some. My band size is big enough that I can’t get a cup size small enough, so I add enhancers.  To fill out.

 

well I got shot in my throat 4 times this afternoon, two lidocaine first and two Botox  in spite of the lidocaine it was very uncomfortable as the doctor pushed through my cartilage.  Supposed to kick in tomorrow.  Voice limited to a breathy whisper and swallowing could be difficult for a couple weeks.

As far as I have read in these latest post I have only 2 comments.

1. I wear dresses and skirts while out because I like to wear dresses and skirts. I care less what others are wearing. I'm not out there for them.

2. This one is for Jandi, My wife loves the way you look, you are a person she would love to have over. 

0. Hey, just my personal comment here, we are who we are, we come from different walks of life, to each their own, walk tall

and be who you want to be. 

-0. Nothing going on here at home, just my new job, delivering meals to the disabled.

I hope I don't offend anyone here on my comments, it is after all just a walk through life.

Times are passing by. I feel it best to say good by and move on.

We, the older generation lived in a different world, we opened many doors, sadly time has come to leave

and search for new doors to open and stairways to climb. I wish all here the best.

<laugh> I had to think about that for a second but no. We were at six and Northville more or less. Right across from the middle school. We were close enough to get the occasional walk-away back when it was still minimum security.

 

I DID work across the street from the place you're thinking of for quite a few years though. The office building next to Northville Charlie's. Which isn't Northville Charlies anymore but... Still a fancy place to eat though.

The place you're thinking of doesn't exist anymore either. They closed it down back in the 90s and finally got around to tearing it down about ten years ago. Now there's a UofM satellite medical office (where I get my blood work done) and my dentist.

Good (yawn) morning 

 

lol! I woke up earlier than intended.  Throat injection sites are sore.

 

Today is a house work day.  Mow, power wash the last bit of the driveway, install new garbage disposal repaint a cabinet door, wash windows outdoors.  Nothing much.

 

I got compliments yesterday.  A nurse liked my necklace, nurse, and doctor both said for a first timer I did very well with my shots.  Another nurse apologized to me about the last time I was there.  Turns out her ex was trans, lied to her, stole, and drank a lot.  Apparently I brought back bad memories.  I don’t recall anything maybe she was a bit all business but so what.  Anyway, no issues, they remembered me from the last time and called be by my name, with correct pronouns.  
 

got ladies and mame’d at a restaurant.  It was a good day.  
 

well there was a casualty, I gave up on my long wig, split ends, tangles it lasted longer than they are supposed to last.  And it was an inexpensive one from Paula Young.  I got my money’s worth.

 

dreamt about getting complements too.

Morning everyone.  Linda beautiful music as always.  I always look forward to your next video.  Willow, I hope the soreness clears up soon.  I loved getting ma'am and even sweetie sometimes.  Both my phone interviews seemed to go really well.  One was first initial, the other was 3rd with local district manager.  I'll find out their decision next week.

Sorry to hear this happened. It doesn't appear it was  a big deal but it seems all it took was one person to temporarily paint our community in a negative way.

I see more yard work in my future today. the PO owns a landscaping business but didn't have the capacity to take care of his own place. I'm going to be at this for years before it looks acceptable. There's all sorts of debris (broken bottles, furniture remains, concrete and asphalt pieces) buried in piles I have clean up. Not to mention all the dead trees. There's even an old trailer frame rusting out at the far end. And, there's still some house repairs that need to be done.

 

On the plus side, I don't need to goto a gym to get my exercise. I used to work on stuff in whatever I was wearing for the day. Ruined a lot of clothes. I got really tired of sweating through my bras and getting nice-er jeans dirty so I have put together an outfit for this stuff. I know I'm probably a bit of a sight to see. Out in the yard in a sports top and 3/4 leggings but it's serving multiple purposes.

 

Obviously, the clothing is a lot more comfortable. If my neighbors catch a glimpse of me it should help answer any questions they have about my gender. It's also body-positive for me. In a previous life I was ashamed of myself, the way I looked. I see it now. I was always covered up. Now I'm getting over myself and will proudly show a little skin.

 

Looking at it from the outside, it seems a little weird. When I was still pretending to be a cis guy I was always covered up. Head to toe. Boots, jeans, jacket, do-rag on my head and sometimes gloves. Even most times  wore a t-shirt when I went swimming. Now that I'm in the midst of transition I don't fell the urge to be covered up. I would think I would still have the urge, maybe more-so at the moment, until my "transformation" is complete. It's an odd sensation to not carrying around all that extra weight, being exposed and vulnerable but it feels right.

There's always one if you look hard enough.

This. I ALWAYS used to dress like that. Everything except the do-rag. Long sleeves, etc...

 

Now I'm wearing a sleeveless top and I WOULD be wearing my peasant skirt, but it needs some alterations 'cause it's WAY too big and I didn't feel like pinning the waist today. Totally in my sandals though. Today is a sandal day.

Unfortunately, it's about the same, though it's more muscle than fat now.

A bit off subject. Can anyone tell me what the average Estrogen and Testosterone levels should be while on HRT ?

It's a range but they're shooting for female normal so 30-100 ng/dl testosterone and <200 pg/ml estradiol. Your endo should be adjusting levels for best fit while keeping your overall health in mind.

 

And yeah, I have a couple of bras that fit right (or right enough), they're just really hard to find. I usually have to order online because unless you're talking sports bras, there aren't any in the shops. I've reached the point in my transition where tearing off my bra is the best part of the day, but it would still be nice to have a couple more pair that fit.

 

Hugs!

Thanks. Still waiting for Testosterone results, but Estradiol is only 13.2 pg/ml up from 11.1.

 

The link I posted has links for bras that fit us. (I haven't tried any of these since I just got this tip in todays email).

Oh yeah, I shop some of those brands plus Carmen Liu. I've got some extra complications though. I'm tragically afflicted with pectus carinatum which my parents chose not to treat when I was small. Makes things just a little harder.

Bummer. I wonder if Craniosacral work would help. My wife studied this through Johns Hopkins. It does wonders for some things.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at. 
    • Mmindy
      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
