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.

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.

Britannica   Happiness | Definition, Nature, Psychology, & Facts | Britannica Mar 13, 2024 — happiness, in psychology, a state of emotional well-being that a person experiences either in a narrow sense, when good things happen in a specific moment, or more broadly, as a positive evaluation of one's life and accomplishments overall—that is, subjective well-being. Happiness can be distinguished both from negative emotions (such as sadness, fear, and anger) and also from other positive emotions (such as affection, excitement, and interest).

      Welcome to the forums, M.A. Duh . . . more questions came up for me,too--but I'm finding they don't have to be solved all at once. One thing at a time as I ask for help works for me. Keep coming back.  —Davie

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.
