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?

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.

      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.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.
