Oh Willow, I am so sorry this is happening to you.

This.

It sounds like insanity.  I mean, how complicated can it be?  People buy houses all the time.

Today it isn’t, now wha?  Seems they keep trying to cover up their problems by making them mine.

Willow, that’s heartbreaking news. 
l’m sorry “Big Brother Banking” is being so difficult and not taking a customer service approach to helping you get into your home. 
 

Hugs,

Welcome home, Hannah.

Listening to the distant thunderstorm, and nature’s way of vocalizing it’s refreshment is relaxing. Welcome home Hannah.

Davie-  Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your legs.

 

And it looks like you had a great day Rachel.  And a good trip for you Justine.

 

Just got home from spending the weekend at my daughter's house.  Had a nice laid-back time.

Their neighborhood is very welcoming, with the occasional Pride Flag.  The next-door neighbors have 2 transgender college kids, who I unfortunately didn't get to meet.

So sorry to Willow for her housing problems. I've had those--it's awful not to be safely at home. I'll say a prayer.

Good health news from me today. I took my body's advice and rested for several days before heading out to the doctor and doing errands on foot. Back is still weak but willing and I was able to do just enough exercise to get sore but not hurt--defiantly good progress. Also progress are my health tests with diabetes numbers returning to normal again after a lot of hard work on that. And blood pressure normal, too. Good to be improving as it also improves my mood and ability to make progress with my writing and marketing and daily life. I wish you all progress and happiness today. 

hugs,

Davie

Hugs all,

Davie

@Hannah Renee I am happy for you! Even though there are so many problems and ups and downs finally finding happiness in being ourselves is why we transition. Right now I do not think that I could ever go back to who I was.

Almost seems like the military. Sorry that you are having to put up with this. I know how much you and the Mrs. want to get into your new place.

 

Well up again can't get to sleep. Who knows why, I sure don't.

 

So after I finally get some sleep. I am looking to work on the wagon to see if I can find out why the cruise control isn't working.  Then work on the air compressor system on the truck.

 

Have a good rest of the night and be back when I get some sleep.

 

Hugs,

Good morning!

 

Yelp was touting their 'open to all' option in their Pride month hoopla, so seeing the threading place I can walk to appear on the list and the bushiness of my brows I popped in for a first ever threading session. 

 

So now I've tried all the hair removal processes except the removal cream deal. Was surprised how fast it was, some of it was as 'painless' as hair removal gets, the rest wasn't SO bad.

Sad, but true. The only difference is that in the military, these sort of red tape snafus are usually due to incompetence. Banks do it on purpose...

I'm a little melancholy this morning.  My wife and are about to make our big move out west, and while that aspect is exciting, I'll be leaving a great group of friends.  I have been a long-standing member of a monthly dinner group and it's the group's members I'll miss the most.  As a trans woman, I cherish my trans friendships.  There's something wonderful about being able to confide in another when they have experiences common to your own.  So, goodbye ladies, it's been an absolute pleasure and an honor knowing you all.  I'll do my very best to return for the occasional visit. 

 

And now, it is on to new horizons, where I hope to make new friends.

Good morning Hannah,

I'm sure this isn't the beginning of the final chapter. I'm betting it's the first chapter of your new book.

"The fit woman she was born to be." -Hannah Renee

This book has so many possibilities, and directions, with mostly happy events. Yes there will be those moments of sadness, but they won't last.

I can be myself for a little while, until the rest of the house wakes up! Next up another cup of coffee!

Good morning 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ Jaycie 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜

 

Like you I'm enjoying my morning coffee:coffee: as Mindy, before the house becomes busy and I have to head out to the shop, and start working on my next training prop.

 

The cats and I are loving the cool morning air coming in through the screen windows, the bird feeders are full of birds having their morning snacks. The cats are wishing they could enjoy a snack too, as they display and posture in their stalk/attack positions.

 

I hope everyone has a good day, and faces their challenges with positive motivation.

 

Your future is not cast in stone.

Sally, this really must be exciting times as you and your wife take on this adventure of relocation.

I'm sure the two of you will grow closer, and build new friends as you settle into your new home.

 

Hugs,

Well, Sally going by the moniker in your signature. I do think Reno has internet service. So one you get settled hop back on a let us know how the move was.  Safe journey, my friend.

I would say Banks can have incompetence also. Remember they are run by the same Bwitch that runs most companies, Miss Management.

 

Sally, If your relocation journey heads across I80. Give me a shout when you get to Wyoming. 

 

Hugs, to all.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, @JustineM. I HATE it when I get misgendered. Especially when it's on purpose. At least the guy apologized. It doesn't take the hurt and pain away, but it's a small "something."

 

Being followed into the restroom is becoming a "thing," I think. Something similar happened to me a couple weeks ago. I was shopping in a local big box store, wearing a dress and heels believe it or not, and had to take care of business. So, I went into the ladies' room, and was followed by an employee (hall monitor, maybe?). I marched straight to a stall, took care of business, and when I came out, there the employee was, scowling at me; if looks could maim, I'd have been been a quadriplegic. So I smiled at her, said "have a nice day" and left. It was upsetting, but I refuse to let them get to me.

 

The point to all this, is you are not alone. Jerks are everywhere and seem to be becoming more and more plentiful. Wish I had an answer...

I haven't had anyone follow me into the ladies room yet, but if they do I will show them my driver's license with my new name and "F" for Gender. If that isn't good enough I wouldn't think twice of reporting them to higher ups and telling them I might sue for sexual harassment.

That's awful. I'm all for staying home in these troubling times. People are extremely unpredictable and not often good.

A transgender woman goes to the restroom, uses it, and leaves, just like anyone else. Somebody else hovers around watching. If there's ever a pervert in this scenario, it's obviously not the trans woman!

 

Things like this make me think we need to borrow/adapt a hashtag from the gay community: #AreTheCisAlright 😉  (Not to criticize cisgender people categorically, of course. I have dear friends and family who just happen to be cis. I'm an ally!)

A couple weeks ago I went to a local annual rib cookoff. I was in my usual guy disguise, but since I knew it would be crowded I did mask up (I have relatives who are still waiting for the "under 5 years old" vaccine, and other relatives who are immuno-compromised. Plus I just like not being sick. I know, call me cRaZy, right - who doesn't enjoy a good illness?) Well, on my walk from the car, some...enlightened gentleman...who was driving by decided to lean out his window and loudly "inform" me about my incorrect above-the-neck wardrobe choice because he felt "the pandemic is over". (I'm honestly surprised he implicitly admitted it ever even existed at all.)

 

I find it interesting just how incredibly offended he was by me. I touched him that deeply!!! Of course, I know all the reasons it shouldn't bother me, but that just doesn't do much to stop things like that from really sticking with you, even if you know it "shouldn't". I joke about it, but I'm still shaking it off this long after.

 

I don't mean to compare, and certainly not equate, my experience with yours at all. Just to say, for what it's worth, the thing I try to keep in mind (with limited success), is that in cases like these, "they" (whoever the haters may be) really are genuinely afraid of "us" (whoever "us" might be). Certainly even more afraid than we might be of them, if you'll pardon the cliche'. That's something I think is worth taking pride in. Or at least trying to remember.

I have amazing news. My long distance friend that I mentioned here a month or two ago is now my fiancee. We're a transgender couple. 

 

We always had good chemistry, from the very moment we met. Always take advantage of that because it's not a coincidence and honestly it's very rare to have good chemistry, which is something I've had to face facts about. We actually met on a transgender dating site in early 2021. Recently she pushed me to say something very definite for her, and I did by proposing. A weight is off my shoulders knowing that we won't be away from each other.

Try telling the relatives of the people in hos[ital who are dying of Covid that the epidemic is over. And anyhow, the flu this year is worse than before, people are dying of that too, and it can largely be prevented by wearing a mask. And what if you were immune suppressed, eg on treatment for a malignancy - you would have to avoid any chance of viral contamination, epidemic or no epidemic.

 

The terms I use for people like that would not be allowed on this forum, but I think it demonstrates the severe failings of the school system!

 

There, I've had my say. Highly irritable today. Have already blasted 2 people. I'll try to keep my head down and be nice for the rest of the day. 😡

On a different note: there's nothing that looks so much like an old man as hair growing out of the ears. I have been plucking, but it's hard to see around the corners to get at the things.

 

How do y'all cope?

Congrats, this sounds very exciting, and you are fortunate. It seems to be difficult to find a person we are willing to commit to!

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
