I never tried pole dancing but I did make my first quiche tonight. Used fresh eggs from my backyard chickens.

Looks yummy. I haven't had this for over 35 years when I lived out in Tacoma. It was at a health food resturaunt. I still remember how good it was. I may have to try making some myself since you showed this. ?

Liz that looks delicious!  I don’t think I’ve ever made a quiche. Now I will have to look into that. I just harvested a huge amount of Mitaké mushrooms so I think maybe throwing that into a quiche sounds great. This one was 10lbs and I have another 4 just waiting to be harvested!

Okay, moving along. While I was away from here something really wonderful happened, My grand daughter.

I have not seen her in almost 6 years. (Son and girlfriend broke up)

So a surprise visit and my wife is telling her grand daughter this is your your grandfather, she wants to be a girl, My grand daughter is only 7.

 

My dear new friends this was her reply, political correctness at its best from a 7 year old, Then why does she sound like a man?

 

Yep. I got schooled by a 7 year old....Grand daughter at that!!?

 

Loving life,

LM❤️

Those would’ve been perfect.  Mine was based off a mushroom quiche recipe. I didn’t have enough so I added other random things.

So……

We have a former employee that is working with us as a consultant for the next week. He was very interested in my changes and ask if he could ask me a few questions. I was like sure, I’m pretty open ask away. Behind closed, he asks me about my voice and I got it so fem.  I explained it was always that way and that I had spent years practicing to sound more masculine so I would fit in and just reverted to my default voice. It was followed with him telling me his voice was one of the reasons he stopped his transition after 2 years of HRT. ??, for real??  He doesn’t regret his decision and was happy to if had the experience.

Things that make you go, "Huh." So long as he's happy, it was probably the right decision. I can't imagine, but my journey isn't his.

Sorry to un load here but I must confess.

What they say about me just might be true.

I, sniffles...have an addiction problem. Well that is what they tell me.

I refuse to stop, I just can't see past the red or white.

I feel nothing is wrong, yet others frown,

I was born and came from Los Angeles, what else do you expect?

We were addicted at a very young age.

I think I was around 10 or 11, we lived fast back then....and we got hooked....

I'm still hooked, cant shake it, I must know the answer.

Which one is better, the red, or the white?

LM❤️

Voice is a big issue for me. I have an appointment through Kaiser with a voice therapist on Wednesday. Not sure what to expect. One thing I  am sure of is I don’t want to go backwards. I’m not even sure if my engine has a reverse gear in it any more? I don’t want to stop applying the E patches… have I developed an addiction after 7 months, or is this my brain craving the right fuel, like it would if I needed to eat or exercise. If I stopped HRT I’m convinced that my brain would crave it so this helps allay some of my doubts. 
 

I was in a bit of a funk today as you can probably tell. I decided not to take the CDL training for bus driver that I was offered by the local school district. I also signed up for social security now rather than wait till 70. Could be subconsciously that I want to avoid any possible confrontations that come up as I progress? I don’t want to believe that but it might be true. Maybe my feelings are becoming more sensitive? I don’t know. There’s a sense of sadness attached to these decisions.
 

I’ll tell you what though. It helps to be able to bounce these crazy thoughts off more than just my own skull.

Had a different route at work today, so I got to see some of my old customers that I hadn’t seen for a couple months. It was actually really nice, I got several positive comments on how much my hair has grown and how it looks. Apparently I’m naturally quite curly. 
 

One of them was rather funny, I mentioned to her last time I saw her that I was transitioning, today after the hair comments she asked how my transgendering was going. Well never heard it quite called that before, but going good ?

It's nice to get positive responses from friends. You're lucky to have a full head of hair. I'm just getting ready to buy my first wig. It will be interesting to see how my friends and family respond to this.

Welcome, @christinakristy2021 to our coffee clutch.

 

I had voice therapy. it is hard trying to remember to use my feminine voice. doubly hard since I am living two lives.

 

I stopped E for about 2 weeks. Then went back to hiding it.

Good morning ☀️
I haven’t yet heard back for scheduling  from a new therapy place I signed up with so I’m in a bit of a downward spiral today.

I need to do this myself.

 I keep thinking it would be weird to just suddenly show up with a bunch of hair.

Considering myself as gender fluid I'm not that worried about my voice.  When I present as male my voice is louder and with more resonance.  When I present as female I speak in a softer town of voice without any change in pitch.  Since I'm not picky about pronouns that much it works for me.  I usually tell people that if I look male use my male name and pronouns and if I look female to them then use the female name and pronouns.  About the only confusion that's caused is with people in the medical industry who want to use my female name and pronouns all the time and apologize whenever they think they got it wrong.  I always tell them there is no problem and tell them how I would like it handled.

My advice? Own it. Show up with a bunch of hair and make sure it's a complimentary color not normally found in nature. If anybody asks, tell them that you just could NOT go without glamming it up one more day. There's this GORGEOUS peacock wig at the place I frequent. The only reason I'm not wearing it is that it's too long for school and would be too hot for workouts. It's still a struggle not to go rescue it and bring it home.

 

Hugs!

Haha, this took me entirely too long to get. I was thinking "Mushrooms with Hawian Punch? Seems like an odd pairing, but I suppose if you happen to really like super sugary things maybe..." Then it hit me, "Oooh! That kind of shroom."

I had to wear a short hair boys wig in high school. They had a dress code, and I had long hair back then.

My mom actually picked the wig out for me.

3 years of that only to enlist and have it shaved off. 

It was funny, I wasn't the only long haired one there.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      What about it?

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      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.

      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.
