As long as I'm surrounded by love I'm OK with it. Just make sure nobody wrecks my car.

I think my mother is actually trying to understand and be supportive of me. In my effort to be a better daughter I call her periodically. This time around she asked me how my weekend was. So without shame or intimate detail, i filled her in (same stuff I've already posted) on everything I've done. Near the end , she just asked me if I was happy. I just replied, "Yes, happier then I've ever been." I think she's finally getting it. I know she'll need more details later on but its a good start.

Liz, that is great to hear that your mom is finally understanding you.

 

Well everything is going okay here at Kymmie's new abode. The wife seems to chilling out with getting stuff done. That just maybe a facade she is putting up.

I think I may have a friend at work. our new transfer. She seems to be more open to me than the others. The boss is still avoiding me. It seems like he has an excuse to not be around me, unless he has too. I am still thinking of putting in a complaint about his attitude towards me. well just about the whole store, doesn't respect me. 

 

I've been trying to use my feminine voice more and more at work. I am getting it. one thing I am lacking in is using my hands when I talk. Something deep in my mind is telling me that I used to be more animated when I talked but was told to stop. I don't know.  My mind is just a jumble right now. just about everything. 

 

Next is coffee. Surprised I am able to function with out it.

 

Hugs,

@Bri2020 Good morning, friend. Thank you for the lovely response, it really made my day. I think you're right, there will have to be a point in my life where I just need to be open about who I am. I also have to come to terms that not everyone in my family will be ok with what I am doing, but that's their problem not mine. I am "me" and I need to be honest with my loved ones. One person who I came out to took a couple months to fully understand what I am trying to explain to them, but now they understand and are not as rejected to the idea of me being FtM. 
As for the medical stuff, I'm looking at resources from my insurance to get some form of bottom surgery. It may be something in the distant future but it's better late than never.

Good morning, everyone! No ice coffee today as I do not have my creamer in at the moment. Should go to the store soon though. Today is ice chai, it's good and I like the spices that are added in it. Second week of school is upon me, wish me luck! ❤️🍵

Good morning everyone. I don't know why but my eyes popped open around 3am so I'm already on my second cup of coffee.

It finally happened, a guy put a ring on my finger......

My BFF's boyfriend makes rings out of silver coins. He had made her a toe ring but it was too big so he gave to me. He did literally put it on my finger though.

 

Six days remaining. The lack of HRT is driving me insane. It's not like I'm having full out mood swings per-se. Just all my emotions are in constant state of overdrive, looking for a trigger.

 

My chainmail purse has been pretty popular. I get compliments on it all the time and I already have two orders to fill. I opened an Etsy shop last night, hoping to sell more and I already plan to add a hobo bag, a backpack and a couple other niche items but otherwise just gonna keep it simple and maybe do some custom work.

 

Aside from taking a week off of work for recovery, I really need some down-time. I haven't taken break since I had Covid and that was nothing near a vacation. I know recovery isn't a vacation either but for now I'll take what I can get.

Good hump day everyone 

 

@Clofree welcome to the coffee club.  Pick a chair and join us, everyone is welcome here.  Listen contribute all up to you.  But do bring your favorite coffee, tea or other.

 

I was sick a good deal of last night and apparently it isn’t over yet.  Headache and toilet issues. (No sense grossing anyone out with sensitive information)

 

Well, starting tomorrow it’s single serve coffee.  We are out of ground for making a pot.  
 

cleaned up the Jeep yesterday.  If the dealer is reasonable with the value we are considering trading in on something smaller.  My wife can’t drive the Jeep.

 

I don’t know if that will happen until they price it out.  I know what KBB says, but what will they say.  
 

The Jeep was fun, for me, although I’m not the one who wanted it.  And after we’d had it my wife decided it was too big for her.  Oh well.

 

otherwise just getting ready for our granddaughter to come this weekend

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Today was a fasting day for my annual check up and physical. I love that Black Coffee is an approved drink while fasting. Everything checked out good, and blood work results will follow later in the week.

 

Lizzy, what's your Etsy shop link?

 

Welcome @Clofree, and just as @Willow said make yourself at home here.

 

Hugs,

So, I have been trying to use my female voice at work. along with a pair of 1 inch hoops in my ears. I was hoping to be more feminine appearing. I have had a couple of Ma'am's in the past couple days. One today just sounded honest and direct. It warmed my heart. Just a later 20 lady. I wanted to thank her a 1000 times.

 

Well my Friday. Tomorrow I have see what is wrong with the wifes car. Then maybe I can get to working on the saddle bags for the bike.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

This year is just a roller-coaster. Got off work an hour early yesterday, yay!  Ten minutes later I get a call from my brother..our father passed away. 😐 None of us had any love for him (really, I won't miss him) but still, he was the sperm donor and it's going to take a bit to process.

Lizzy,

 

Even if you didn't love him, and he didn't love you. There is still a life history belonging to the two of you. His health and medical history contributes to the things you'll need to be aware of as you grow older. I'm sorry for your family loss, you will need time to process his passing. Comfort your mom as she also deals with his passing.

 

Hugs,

Good morning everyone,

 

I opened a new canister of Folgers Black Silk Coffee this morning, and the aroma was comforting.

The brew is good, HOT, black, and strong.:coffee:

 

@KayCyou always make me smile when we're posting on the forums at the same time. I think about our distant locations around the globe or "Third Rock form the Sun", we call Earth. Separated by a vast distance, and yet we're in a nearly identical situation, and mindset. 

 

@KymmieLI'm really happy for you and your new home ownership. Keep moving forward with your work relationships, and home responsibilities. Some may think that working on a motorcycle is a hobby, however if you're using it as transportation to and from work. It's an economic saving plan. 

 

Ride safe, dress for the slide, not the ride,

Good morning everyone!

 

Long time, no see! I've been working on my manuscript again. Got A LOT of progress done on it. I have six chapters to go until it's done, currently sitting at 49k words. I'm so invested in this story that writing is coming along very easily. I just hope I don't get in trouble for brainstorming during my lunch breaks...lol.

 

In other news, my brother is coming over in mid-September. So excited! I always feel like myself when my brother or dad is around. Not sure if I'll come out to him, though...not sure I'm ready for that. But we'll see!

Good morning, everyone. I'm planning to make some ice coffee with some pumpkin spice creamer later on this morning. School is going ok, I have some stuff I have to plan out for next week in terms of assignments. It feels weird being back into a regular semester. Hope everyone is ok!❤️💀

Good morning everyone 

 

Well, we are no longer Jeep owners.  Sold it yesterday.  It was rather impractical for us.  I wasn’t able to take the roof off which is what my wife wanted to be able to do when we bought it.  It wasn’t going to be off-roaded  even though it was fully equipped for that.  Price of fuel compared to gas.  Wife couldn’t drive it.  Bad idea all around.

 

we now own a “small suv”. VW TAOS.  Nicely equipped but not over the top.  Estimated 36 highway.  I’ll have to see what I can really get with it. 
 

@Elizabeth Star sorry for your loss.  
 

two more days until our granddaughter!  Nearly ready.  The kitchen is finally put back together, repairs are done.  It only took just over two months!  
 

hugs

About time you decided to get rid of the Jeep thing. I had it once it was hard to pee. LOL.  My DIL has a VW Toureg she loves just about all of it. one thing she utterly despises is the auto stop/start. Drives both my son and her crazy. Can disable it either. I was able to on my Ranger It drove me nuts too.

 

@Mmindy Our bike is purely for enjoyment. Eve though I have rode it to work more than a few times. In addition to the bags I may even work on the rear air ride that I have been working on for let me see, 3-4 yrs.

 

I want to welcome all our new posters to the Coffee clutch.

 

Hugs to all.

There have been a couple of times when my bike was my primary (sometimes only) transportation.  It did save on gas, but winter - even in NC - could get rough.

 

I gave it up a few years ago for reasons.  But I did enjoy the years I rode it.

Good morning!

 

I think I have some sort of difficulties to find words about how I feel or what I plan to do. Or maybe I'm just no-lifer and I have nothing to say 😆

 

Oh well... some more coffee and then off to work.

Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee. I'm going to need and will drinks lots of it today.

 

Met my Pride group for Happy Hour last night. I couldn't stay long but still had a good time. I spoke to one of the other members who asked what I do for a living. I have no problem sharing that with people face to face but it did make me realize I still want to do more with myself. It appears I am also some sort of influence on other transwomen. More than one (a lot more) have told me how much better they feel about themselves and their future after hanging out with me for a bit. I don't know, maybe I can do something with it.

 

I came around a corner yesterday and caught the owner telling someone some joke about being able to tell if someone’s gay by the length or their eyelashes. Honestly, idgaf but he stopped like he got caught in the middle of a cardinal sin. So to diffuse the situation I just stood there and told them "I don't care, I’m queer af and have a sense of humor".  I do care to an extent. Mostly about his behavior. He said it, he needs to own it. I also didn't like outing my sexuality (or did I) like that but it was the only way I could see to diffuse the tension.  It's like this is how everyone around there really feels and everyone playing nicey, nice is just an act.I'm starting to feel like the fool for believing them at face value.

Good morning everyone,

 

This working from home/semi-retirement is something I can get use to.

The coffee is the usual HOT, black, and strong.

 

@Elizabeth StarI'm sure "The deer in the headlights look", was accompanied with a sick feeling in his stomach that lasted a lot longer. Your defusing the situation by claiming the truth as being queer and having a since of humor, was the real truth that needed to be said. The best thing that can happen is for them to learn that your work is not affected by your status in the LGBTQ community. Here's something you might share with them.

"If you have to look around before you say something. It's not worth saying."-Horace Moore aka my father.

      We have been asked to post this study.   I'm an undergraduate university student in my third year completing a BSc in Anthropology. I'm working on my dissertation, looking at languages with grammatical gender (e.g. languages like Italian and Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine). I'm curious if this affects/bothers people with gender identities outside the typical binary of male and female, like non-binary or transgender identities. Using this forum, I would be very grateful if anyone could answer the 5 questions I have put together in a Google form, they are open-ended questions, and you can be as brief or detailed as you want/comfortable with! All responses will also be kept anonymous. As you can probably guess, I came to online forums because finding participants in person is difficult. Talking about gender identities, I understand, can be very personal, so this online anonymised format can be safer. :) If anyone is also particularly interested in this topic, it would be awesome to message one-on-one and do the Google form survey. Having one and one interviews would also be good research! But NONE of this is compulsory, and only if anyone is interested and doesn't mind helping me out and can do so.

      @Mia MarieI found this    Here are critical resources to help transgender seniors face the challenges of growing older - LGBTQ Nation   As far as financial aid I came up empty. :( I'm sorry. I can only imagine what you are going through.

      @Adrianna Daniellecongratulations to you and your boyfriend! Hopefully a future wedding in the future!   @WillowI'm sorry about that he passed away. He sounded like a role model that others should follow.   @MmindyI'm sorry about your head cold! Hopefully it won't last too long and hope for good rest and recovery.

      I see more and more postings with what the LGBTQ support organizations are doing and I see less and less about helping the older generation of us. All I really see is them wanting to help transgender youths and no matter how many times I ask for help, they tell me they can't help or they tell me the office I contacted only works with the youth only. Is there an organization that helps older transgender people? All I find when I do a search turns out with nothing more than talking about trans youths. I feel as though us older trasn folks are being left out. I applied for financial help in a form of a grant, twice, and was turned down with no explanations of why. They did ask me to help go over applications which told me I was automatically denied. Really doesn't seem fair, does it?

      Require students to use bathrooms that align with the gender they were assigned at birth Prohibit transgender girls in seventh grade or older from participating in girls sports or other girls-only activities  Ban gender-affirming health care — including surgery or hormone treatment — for transgender students under age 18, even if parents consent or the treatment is recommended by a doctor Require schools to notify parents if students change their pronouns or otherwise signal they identify as a gender other than what’s on their official student records Doesn't look like it "protects" anybody.  It actually is about restricting trans kids rights.   The ways politicians name their bills etc. is a farce.  Most of the time they do the opposite of what they're called.

      There's a lot of bad information out there.  People like the sensational stuff, whether it's true or not.   Too many people live in a news/opinion bubble.  My ex's late husband kept Fox News on 24/7.  It was always there in the background of their life.  There is something about "trans" stuff every day, and always negative.

      Good morning everyone,   Head Cold and body aches are reduced today. @April Marie I'm glad you're feeling better too. Good luck timing the lawn care with the weather. @Willow It's good to hear that your wife is on the mend, and you may make it to Salt Lake City. I'm sadden to here about Tattoo Tom.   This is very good news @Adrianna Danielle   @Ashley0616 I hope you find the right hair removal service in a convenient location.   I'm on my second cup of coffee, and we're expecting rain this afternoon and evening.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well, I can not say good morning today.  The world has lost a loving, caring man that gave his all for others that are suffering.  I do not have details, however Tattoo Tom of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Organization has gone on to be with his daughter Shala and my Granddaughter Daphne and all the other kids with cancer and their families he tried to help.  You can Google the organization and it will tell you his story and what they do.  He used to run in Ultra marathons to raise money.  He was scheduled to run in the Moab 240 later this year.  Each mile is dedicated to a child.  You can see Daphne’s story on mile 233 and Shala is always the last mile.     if you have a few dollars to spare please make a donation.  The work of 5he organization will continue but it will not be the same without Tom.   Well on a better note, I learned last night that I can attend the Salt Lake City gathering of the Presbyterian Church USA in Salt Lake City. As a guest of our minister.  If I can get there I am going to try to go.  I am just waiting to hear from my son to learn if there are blackout days around the date I need to be there.  And I realize the bigger issue could be getting home so I do have th weigh the risk against the opportunity.   Thank you all for your concerns and prayers regarding my wife’s recent back surgery and my concerns about my voice.  My wife is definitely on the mend.   well I guess I need to get a move on it is later that I realized.   Willow
