Good morning All. Coffees on.

Good morning peeps!  No coffee for me this AM but at least it's for a good reason. IT'S BOOBY DAY!!!  4 hours and counting......I can't believe the day has finally arrived.  47 years ago I started having recurring dreams of being transformed overnight into a woman. At the time, given my lack of anatomy knowledge, that meant my penis would disappear and I grew breasts and my hair would grow long like Farah Faucet's.  I would always wake so disappointed. Well, today's the day I wake up (from anesthesia ) and 2/3rds of my dream comes true. (Having already grown out my hair. lol)

Good luck! It's not until tomorrow for me, but It's "Nothing but clear liquids for YOU day." May your surgery go well and give you results beyond your wildest dreams!

 

Hugs!

Thanks! I hope your revision so smoothly as well.  My biggest complaint about surgery days are not starting the day with coffee. lol. I know- priorities right?  Luckily, I have a pot already brewed and in a good thermos ready and waiting for when I get home.  My surgical center is only 5 minutes from home so that's real convenient.   

As for my results- honestly, I don't have a "dream size" so I'm going to be happy no matter what.  I figure, most women don't get to choose how their breasts look and learn to be happy with themselves so it's no different for me. I at least know roughly what size they will end up based on implant size, but how will that look, I have no expectations and will be happy to just have an obvious female form. I look forward to not having to do inserts, padding, push up bras etc to "mimic" the body I should have had.

Love you all, and I will see you on the other side of this!

@April-Showers I recently elevated to Palladium Member and had the same question. It appears that long ago and an earlier version of the forum under previous management there was a ranking system integrated to probably see who contributes and who doesn't - so as time went by they left the ranking in place - it wasn't broke so no one saw reason to fix it.

Best of wishes for both of you having surgery ❤ and speedy recovery. 

 

On another note, I should have all 3 of my letters turned in to my surgeon within a week. And I sent in another application to Puerto Rico for my new birth certificate with name and gender change. I got the receipt back saying that they got my letter. Now it's a waiting game. Apx a month. My last application got rejected because I sent a $31 money order instead of $32. They also said I need a lawyer which I incorrect. Hopefully it will go through this time. Their return letter was in Spanish. I had to translate it.

Makes sense, I had the same question ?

@Jamie68 keep at it. I am waiting on state to issue new birth cert (6-8 weeks) and have my 3 letters and have first consult in October. Still working on acceptance from wife and kids but that will come if it is to come.

Surgery went well I’m sitting in bed. Thank you all for your support over this last year. It’s about you all and as for him I’m not sure what did I would’ve had the courage to continue when I hit all the challenges that life through my way.

Not sure what happened to your link, but I'm glad you're out of surgery and feeling saucy! I'm leaving for the airport in a few. See you on the other side!

 

Hugs!

That was me many, many moons ago. The ranks are all precious metals, and let’s face it, if you are here you are valued, so why not use valuable elements to denote this.

I've found that everything seems to take forever. I just had my first consult, went great. He's 110 miles from my house at Weiss Memorial hospital downtown Chicago. Drive took 2-3/4 hours one way, but well worth it.

I hope yours goes as well as mine.

Things got ugly last night. It had been two days since I met my new friend and I hadn't said anything to my partner about it. I knew it wasn't right for many reasons. I feel I made a mistake telling her. Before I could even get past the point of saying I met her, things went really bad. I was accused of everything from wanting to sleep with her to not caring about my partner's health to being a pathological liar. I don't think I can deal with this anymore. I hold myself to a pretty high standard of honesty. It may take me a little while to spill the beans about something but I won't lie about the details. I have never stayed while in a relationship regardless of how bad things got. Even now it's been over 5 years since we were intimate and I'm still here heart and soul. My family were the one's who accused me of lying about everything. Truth is I never did, I only leaked their deep, dark secrets and it was easier to accuse me of fabricating the truth than admit to the things they did.

Oh dang I’ll have to pick up a “Happy Belated Booby Day” card for @Bri2020 , congrats!

 

@Elizabeth Star that’s awful.  Sorry to read that. 
 

I went to a concert last night and for the first time noticed some possible cases of people being confused by my unclear gender presentation-challenge for everyone who needs to slot people into choice M or choice F.

Yeah, me too. @Bri2020 Hope you have a speedy recovery.

 

@Elizabeth Star I have been accused of being a lair by both my wife and oldest son, too.  I am the same way, it may take a while to get the whole story out. But I never lie. I just don't volunteer the information. Being Ex military you learn that. It is engraved in your soul. Especially when you have a security clearance.

 

Yesterday was a rough day. I am a suspect in a case of missing money from the store. along with others. I had to fill out a statement. I was calm but the anxiety was definitely there. That is normal for me, I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder. I'm not worried. 

There was a silver lining though, one of your regular commercial customers came in. She accepts me totally as female. I get her parts, when she leaves. she says, Thank you so much, babe. I had a smile the rest of the shift.

@Elizabeth Star I'm so sorry to hear about the blowup. You've had a hell of a relationship rollercoaster since I came on the boards. I think your wife lives in fear you will abandon her and lashes out when her insecurities surface. That's tough to manage and sometimes becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Sending a hug and well wishes.

@KymmieL It's so nice to have those people in your life that just get it! They know how much their kindness and acceptance can fuel our days and make a point of doing the little thing selflessly to make others happier.

 

Post-op 24 hours. Had my checkup and got to see the girls and I love them! Not to big, not too small, just perfect. Probably a "c" cup which was my goal. They are obviously a little bruised and swollen and the doc wants we to wear this band across the tops to help push/keep the implants in place and not ride up high but other than that things look fab. Pain is completely under control and I'm getting my energy back. It's going to be hard not to overdo it over the next few days/weeks.

This pic is just after getting the bandages/ace wraps off and no bra so pretty good representation of my new self!  I can't wait to go bra shopping and seeing these in a beautiful bra.

Sorry to hear your situation. I've learned through many heated arguments to inform my wife before hand of any meetings. Since it took me a while to come out to her, the trust just isn't there anymore. It's difficult to do since I know i'm not doing anything wrong. I hope all goes well for you.

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.

      It’s a huge difference, the laser has done wonders. I still have some stragglers, but I hope a few more sessions to try to zap those. Mostly what’s left are the white/blonde hairs, they still need a shave but they don’t really cause me much dysphoria.   I do use makeup, I barely go out without liner and mascara these days. Don’t tend to do a full face, but when I go for a little coverage I use tinted moisturizer and a little concealer under setting powder. Here’s me today, with about as much makeup as I go out with (forgive me the wings, I struggled today…), I went and got my hair done, so I had to look good for the ladies.
