75 here in Maryland. It's kinda strange how the topography works here. You can have very cool areas (Bethesda) and several degrees hotter in others (Takoma Park). Bethesda will get a ton of snow, Takoma Park won't, they experience more of the lake effect, more even temperatures all year round, than we will.

I used to drive 65 miles to get to work. I went through 3 different weather pattern areas. I love variety though. I really miss the drive at times now that i'm retired. I still tend to get up early even after 3 years. Between 4 and 5.

Speaking of coffee... My afternoon, help-me-make-it-to-the-weekend mug. I got this staying at the Stanley Hotel in room 217 (the same one from the Shining). Did something strange happen? Yes!

 

Does anyone else have a favorite mug, or several favorite mugs?

her latest is the philosophy of food. i love the quirky little detours she takes. it's very entertaining and at the same time, highly educational. she makes the study of philosophy as easy as eating cake, well maybe a little easier, perhaps!

I am riding high right now!

 

The Gender Pathways clinic at Kaiser is phenomenal. Just talked to one of their nurses. I have voice therapy scheduled starting in October, they are writing a referral letter for Electrolysis with the person I have been seeing for a couple of months, and they are giving me a referral for a tracheal shave which will get me into the pipeline whenever the moratorium on elective surgeries is lifted. I feel as giddy as a schoolgirl! HeeHee!

Lots happening today. Went down to the local coffee house that also has a weekly craft market out front and found some amazing earrings!  They’re going to be perfect for my outing later with a lesbian meetup group to a winery.  Do a wine tasting and picnic in the foothills of the Blue Ridge on a perfect 78 degree and sunny day. The back home to the same coffeehouse where there is a jazz and blues festival happening all day/evening. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. E429B5EC-E72E-4B71-98ED-0151D5EBEB76.thumb.jpeg.930295f33b91898b75dc75aebbc0867a.jpeg

<laugh> Yeah @Bri2020, you look exhausted. Absolutely dreading the upcoming day in that pic. Sarcasm obviously. You look like you're gonna have a blast. Go have a blast!

 

Hugs!

On my day uptown I stopped at the coffee house for awhile.

Before I left I wanted to use the "facilities", and found this.

This was new.  Since some repairs they had left the M or F off the doors - one was out of order anyway.  But now they have 2 of these.

The coffeehouse had been a "safe place" since years ago when it opened. But this was kinda nice.

Got my second hair cut as me yesterday...didn't weep in builtup emotions this time, just smiles. "My" stylist blew it out so it looked under control for one day. Back to curly/wavy mess today I suppose, but we're hoping in another couple months it'll be less of a mullet...I know she could shape it into something more feminine but I am holding onto the length as hard as I can since I am a work in progress all over and mostly working at home still.

I know how that is. In my efforts to take better care of myself I've been getting mine trimmed every 6 weeks or so. Now 6 months later I realized that it is pretty much the same length. I have my hair goal in mind so I'll be skipping the trims for the next several months to get the length I want.

My electrologist/hair stylist takes care of the split ends and shaping every 8 weeks to help getting to the length I would really like and I added biotin vitamins to help as well and it seems to be working.

I went to visit a friend today and spent most of the time being used as a pillow by their good boy.

My partner of 45 years died today.  She was my biggest supporter in my transition.  I will miss her so much.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      You look wonderful!!! A rose among the roses.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.

      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys.   I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team.  When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together.
