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.

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.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.
    • Susan R
      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.
    • KayC
      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
