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.

 

 

Kymmie

Thanks, @KymmieL

Internal crisis averted. I got a call and am on the schedule to meet with a new therapist next Tuesday. I’ll happily take it as my coming out day gift. ?

I had to look this one up. Looks like a nice place. Way south of my house.

Good morning again from Rend Lake, today is pack up and leave day. Family and friends were here last weekend, Monday and Tuesday, so my manor of dress was, black leggings or joggers,  camo pattern teeback undershirt, and plaid over shirt. One friend warned, I was very close to looking like a lesbian. I countered, well you’re safe because we both like girls. They left Wednesday morning, and since they, I have been full on lesbian, and my Suzie is starting to be more comfortable with my choices.

 

As usual the coffee was HOT, black, and strong.

 

Hugs,

Coffee was hot with cream, then the construction people over again. We are having the master bath remodeled.

So far so good.

Nothing else going on, just a normal Thursday.

Hi all 

 

spending the night in Charleston.  Already checked in to our hotel.  I have an appointment with my throat Doc tomorrow for another Botox injection to control spasms in my larynx.  Yes, sticking a needle through the side of my throat multiple times is rather unpleasant.  But the weeks I get without spasms or choking are worth it.

Oh no. Not that. How awful. (Sarcasm obviously, I'm gay as heck.)

 

I mean seriously though, what does a lesbian look like? I know cis/het women who work in all walks of life from automotive mechanics to blacksmiths. I mean there aren't enough gym teacher positions available for ALL of us.

 

Hugs!

IDK, but today when I kinda had to wear boy clothes because I went unshaved for my electro consult, I looked in the mirror with my plaid pants hanging off my hips and an oversized sleeveless tshirt tucked in and literally said, "holy crap, I look like a lesbo."

OK, fair. I wore flannel, sleeveless shirt and jeans with my canvas shoes to work today. I mean it's a stereotype but...

Hey hey hey everyone! Had a great day today. Early this morning at work, I was working on an ATM, just as I was finishing up a lady walks up. “Miss can we use that machine now?” Guess my posture and the hormones are making some great changes! Between that and the fact that I broke down and got a BIG soda today (I’ve been trying to cut out and haven’t had more than a 20oz in months) I have been running high on life and crazy hyper!

That sounds so unpleasant! I'm glad it's at least able to give you a few weeks of relief though. HUGS

Did (one of the two) the monthly support zooms last night. The guest was an endocronologist who was a great advocate for trans folk. I asked him about the take that it's dangerous to go on HRT. 

 

The paraphrased answer:  "NO. NO. It's not significantly dangerous when done correctly by a appropriate clinician, it's not dangerous. It's just making a person have the hormones they should have always had. No more dangerous than any other medicine. Oxygen has side effects. Water has side effects. Everything has side effects. We weigh the benefits and the risks and HRT is not significantly more dangerous than any other medication."

 

Someone asked him why he wanted to be a doctor, again the paraphrase:

 

"I'm helping people have the lives they always wanted. Selfishly, it feels so wonderful to help them go through those changes. Being able to help those people is why I went into medicine."

ThT is such a great question! Thanks for sharing. I thought about joining one of those calls a while back but never put it in my schedule. I need to do that!

That is a FANTASTIC reason to go into medicine. We need more people like that.

@stveee the same thoughts here.

 

@Jackie C., I love and encourage the cis/het women in my family and friends circle to get into the trades and pursue their careers. I’m also proud that the trade unions have always been for equal opportunity and pay. 
 

@Willow, I hope you have a great weekend.
 

Good morning everyone,

I’m at AndyMohrFord Plainfield,IN having the truck serviced 230,650 miles and still pulling strong. The coffee here is good, the WiFi is able to keep me logged into my work files, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram all at the same time. 
 

Hugs,

It's just broke in. They make them better than they used to. I have an 07 vibe with 450,000 + miles that still runs good. Didn't change plugs till 232,000 miles and they still looked good. Turned out I just had to clean the mass air flow sensor.

There's been a lot of new developments on my home-front. We've been able to talk a lot more openly about pretty much everything. Seeing me in a dress or skirt doesn't bother her anymore. Out in the wild we can act like we're together. She even suggested I consider getting hair extensions since mine grows so slow. Last night I was able to finally ask the big question that had been weighing on mind for the last couple of years. Would she have stayed with me if she had not gotten sick? Yes, she said she would have. She loves me for who I am not what's in my pants. It's just taken a long time for her to get over the bomb I dropped on her when I came out. I think we are actually, finally in a good place. Just in time for me to start the next leg of journey.

Liz, I’m so happy for you two, and hope my Suzie comes around to this same feeling. Time is on my side. Going slow.

Keeping the engine clean inside and out will always add life.

      The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe tribe of Native Americans; the word means "Father of Waters."

      Fighting a fever since yesterday. Been shivering cold. even though I keep the house at 71. Went to bed at about 8 last night slept until my wifes alarm was going off.    Ashley I think you are correct. However, they won't be graced with my presence today.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      That's horrible that they are blaming you for her presumption. I hate to say it but maybe they are looking for reasons.

      I have no skin in the game here, apart from the signal that a re-elected Trump sends to likeminded politicians around the world, which would result in an indirect yet detrimental effect on many people here and elsewhere. So, hopefully what I write here can be used as a reference for how he, and American politics in general, is viewed from a country that is not directly involved.   It seems to me that politics is not taken seriously by enough people in America. Actually, specifically the USA (America can be anywhere from Prudhoe Bay to Panama to Patagonia). Electing a celebrity to high office just wouldn't happen here, let alone one who has overseen the bankruptcy of several of his business ventures and is embroiled in hush-money scandals. I remember during my teenage years when Reagen was elected; the main point of conjecture here was that he was just a B-grade actor. Equally laughable was Arnie as governor of California, although he turned out to be somewhat more socially progressive than most Republican politicians.    I simply cannot understand why the Dems cannot find a decent candidate. Biden has cognitive issues. Everyone expected Harris to step up by now, but no. Where's Jed Bartlet when you need him, lol! In my mind, if Martin Sheen threw his hat in the ring, he'd be elected in a heartbeat because many of you would actually believe that he was the real deal! Even though he's older than Biden!!!   Sorry if that sounds like I am trying to insult the intelligence of y'all. But y'all asked for it, by valuing celebrity over substance over the last five decades or so.    I have no doubt that Trump will win in November, even if he is in jail. His rusted-on supporters will just say, "Yep! That's our boy!!!"

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.
