Everything seems too easy. All my life I’ve run into headwinds and had to slog through it. Someone is sure to remind  me soon that I’m not in Kansas anymore! When will the honeymoon be over? Is it ok to be happy?


 

Ride the wave!?‍♀️

Good morning everyone,

 

It's really closer to afternoon here in the eastern timezone, and I'm about to leave for the weekend.

 

The coffee was, HOT, black, and strong, without being bitter. (Folgers Black Silk)

 

My Suzie, had a bit of an anger fit once my books arrived. She thinks I have another companion who is meeting my emotional needs, and she's not talking about my therapist. She went back to blaming me for dragging her into my closet.

 

We're hosting a birthday party for our youngest grandson this weekend, so hopefully things smooth over.

 

Hugs,

 

Mindy??️‍⚧️?

I'm a little torn here. On the one hand, I'm glad you're moving forward. On the other hand, it sucks that you have to leave your house. On the gripping hand, the Christmas thing is... not great. May the future bring your nothing but happiness, fulfillment and fluffy marshmallow unicorns!

 

Hugs!

One of my favorite shops does this. Their models are.. improbable. There are a lot of pieces I look at and think, "That looks amazing!" then remind myself, "That looks amazing ON HER."

 

Hugs!

I like what you said about riding the wave. The good thing is there’s an endless supply of them. Get back on that surfboard girl!

Probably my first ever. Unless you count Army days but you have your buddies at least.  I will figure things out.  I was the person in the neighborhood that decorated all the common areas and went all Clark Griswold in the front yard.  Heart definitely not into that this year.

Tomorrow is our annual golf tournament at work. I haven't been to one in almost 20 years and with my other "developments" I'm a little nervous about it. To start with the club is very exclusive and then there will almost all of my co-workers and their SOs, plus some of our vendors. I already know a few people have feelings about me. Granted I do have the complete support of the owner, VP and a few other high ups so I'm not overly worried but will be, as always, on alert for any haters.

 

Regardless, I have a cute outfit that meets the clubs dress code and I intend to have fun.

That sounds like so much fun! Big question. Will you play from the ladies tees!?

I forgot about the ladies tee. I guess it's only appropriate that I do. Not that it'll make much difference since it's been a good 15 years since the last time I played. Who knows, maybe I'll be better now that have my head on straight.

I measured 40B as well but have yet to get my first bra.

Need to know how that dress fits with your new profile though. I'm betting you're rocking it even harder.

I seriously think I'm going to have a wardrobe function any minute but women apparently have been wearing things like this for years and somehow they stay up. lol

According to the standard method of measuring, I am a 42b. Boy was that wrong.?

If I use the method from ittybittybra.com i'm a 42aa. So i'm trying a 42a. If it doesn't fit, i'll stuff it.

My breasts still tender, so supposedly still growing. If the girls don't achieve at least a full 42b, i'll be looking at getting a BA.

@Bri2020, you look great!

 

I hit a new milestone today: I got classically, verifiably mansplained.  There was a discussion on the astronomy club mail list about going to the club observatory.  One fellow mentioned that there was a limit of 10 people, due to covid restrictions.  Not wanting people to be denied access on a beautiful night, I pointed out that the current limit was 25.  Him: "Yes, but club policy limits it to 10 people."  Me: "As the author of that policy, I can assure you it is currently 25."  ? ?

Congratulations? Usually when I get mansplained it's something involving cars. As I'm clueless anyway, I don't mind so much. Anyway, I have a shirt that says...

 

Teach a man to fish and he’ll turn around and try to teach you to fish like he shirt

 

Never realized how true that was pre-transition. At least it means we're passing as women, right?

 

Hugs!

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.

      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.

      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie
