There were many... many gay men there most scantily clad and some not wearing anything.

 

Yeah, what's up with that? I mean as soon as the music starts, the gay dudes get as naked as they can get away with.

 

Though this also answered any questions I might have had towards being attracted to men: No thank you and please put your clothes back on sweetie.

 

Hugs!

Obviously. Once the swelling goes down of course.

It's really not that big a deal. You're going to be laid up for a minute, but it's not all that painful. The catheter and drains are a pain in the butt, but you only have to deal with those for a week. I think I could sit down again without a million pillows after about a month. You're going to be fine sweetie.

Thx for sharing @CD Rachel happy you had fun weekend!

 My fan club seem to be straight guys after a couple drinks (careful!!!)

 

To your other post, it’s been 3 years HRT for me and I still can’t find all my crayons!!  I like the visualization of emotions you and @stveeeuse 

 

howeva……….,

Today I go for my last post op treatment in LA.    Forum sister Ann is my generous ride.   It’s been 12 days postop and pain remains a factor.  Of my transitioning surgeries (4 and hope no more), this one has affected my mobility the most (more than my full depth GCS).
 

 Tommorrow I will be making a non stop flight from LA to CHI.  Sitting ranges from uncomfirtable to unbearable.  I will likely rest overnight before my drive home to WI.  With breaks that will take several hours also.

 

Wish luck please as I am a sister and this flight may be a test for me

 

And I wish the best for every sister, brother, and other,  here

 

21 days is long but it’s coming up . @Bri2020 make yourself at peace and ready.  You are soaring forward on stronger wings … you will make it if you fly forward iwithin the heart ❤️ goddess

 

🌈🌈

I have perfect outfit! Assuming, it'll still get a PG rating.

 

21 days? Wow. Your whole reality is going to shift. I'm wishing you the best of luck.

 

Congrats @Hannah Renee. You've gotta be on top of the world.

 

Work was pretty uneventful. I forgot we're always super busy right after a holiday with 3 day worth of messages to sort out so no one had time to gossip.  I did notice when my supervisor talked to me he made an extra effort to look me in the eyes. It was painful and hysterical. Our VP made it a point to stop by my desk to see how I'm doing. I suspect she also wanted to get an idea of what size I went with too.

 

This bra is killing me. Between chaffing from the band and crushing my nipples, I don't know how I'm going to make it another two weeks. And, I'm starting to notice the weight so I really need to work on my posture.

Hey, everyone. Can't sleep maybe the brain is in overdrive again. I put in another complaint about not being respected at work. Namely by some of my co-workers, including the store manager. We'll see what happens. Probably like last time nothing. If that happens, I am going to email HR directly with my complaint.

 

One more day then Thur morning I have my brow wax and hair appointment. I am looking at picking up a plain t shirt tomorrow at wallys. With only having mostly Harley and car shirts I think I need  just a plain one to go with a white, light pink and light grey camo skirt. maybe even look for some cute sandals too. my beat up Assics are not cutting it with a skirt/dress.

 

Geez, I must be getting more feminine as I am looking at how I dress.

 

Hugs, everyone.

 

sandman take me away!!!

This does seem to happen.

It used to be the "sniff-test" and a teeshirt.   These days it's… This one?  How about?  Or maybe…. I mean, I'm just staying home anyway!

Morning friends. Have been doing some school work, writing, and drinking coffee. The climate here is insane and I just want to slow down and relax while doing assignments. But life has other plans. 🍁💀🎃

Got my CDL a short while ago. Took a little bit for them to reconcile a regular DL plus state ID into a CDL and new ID with my new legal name. Apparently ya can't do the ID first because then it doesn't match the name on the old DL, which has to be changed. I told the lady she won't forget this day for a while. Kept her busy for about 90 minutes. But I walked out of there with my new license with my new name and the new letter F in place of the old letter M.

That's awesome!  Congrats 💜

Hi all. Sorry for my...little melodrama meltdown a couple weeks ago... (If it helps put anything in perspective, my feelings on "humanity in general" have already been thoroughly trashed for all of the last thirty years anyway, so it's not as if there's anything new going on there 😉 ) As you could probably tell, I was having a rather stressful day...

 

I appreciate all the responses (back in page 681). They do mean a lot. 💖💖

 

I still have some catching-up here, but I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone's been up to. And, if I'm not mistaken, at a brief glance, it sounds like there are some gender-affirming surger(ies?) coming up here in the imminent future...? Congrats! And, without knowing the details yet, best of wishes to anyone experiencing pre-operation jitters!

That how it starts. Soon you could end up like me. Trying numerous outfit while getting dressed in the morning. Not feeling it, not feeling it, Didn't I just wear this like 2 weeks ago? Is it too cold for a mini skirt? After 20-30 minutes I find the right outfit. Then when I'm about 10 minutes from home, I'm regretting my decision and change again when I get home in the evening. I can't wear this to the store, I wore it to work. My record is five completely different outfits in the same day. One for the drive there, change for breakfast once I get there, change again for lunch. Going out for dinner? I need to change. Going out with friends after dinner? I can't wear this, I just wore it to dinner and on and on.... Oh, wait, you're wearing that? Let me go change into something that compliments your outfit.

 

I made yet another "friend" the other day (6 altogether) and I think I finally hit my limit. Although I have a lot more love to give, it's getting hard to keep track of everyone. The last thing I want to do is have anyone feel neglected.

Liz, I thought it would be 7 one for everyday of the week. but, then I remembered that a girl needs a day of rest. LOL. I envy you, I really do. I'd be OK with just one good friend.

 

Up earlier than I wanted to be on a Sat. I had to get ready for my brow and hair appointment. Being a woman is hard work. @Willow & @Jackie C. why didn't you tell me. It was this hard? LOL would I give it up, MMMMM nope. Even though I am still living two lives.

 

Hugs to all.

Good morning 

 

Coffee is my usual dark roast black full caffeine. Granddaughter left yesterday morning and is safely home.  Our daughter is heading to a beach about an hour from hear and wants to have lunch with us.  Wow, she asked us.  It’s been about a year since she invited us to leave her home and not return.  We have seen her at our granddaughter’s graduation but she walked out of our anniversary dinner.

 

@KymmieL the further you go to womanhood the harder it gets.  If you recall I had a complete meltdown a year ago August.  And of course there is all the learning about how to walk, dress, apply makeup do your hair or wig.  Becoming and remaining feminine is difficult.  Another reason supporting the fact that we don’t choose to do this, it is us.  And it can be a real struggle.  I envy all who have taken more steps forward on their transition.  There are some things I will never do and others that I am ready to undergo but need to find the right surgeon.  It would have been a lot easier to have been able to start back when the first signs were there but that ship sailed a long long time ago.  I’m just glad I don’t have to live the rest of my life not understanding and depressed.

 

I am trying to grow my own hair but I figure I have a snowballs chance of that ever amounting to anything.

 

lots of things here deserving specific congratulations.  Know that I’ve read everyone’s accomplishments and wish you all well.  Sounds like a very uncomfortable plane ride what about a blow up seat cushion like is used after hemorrhoid surgery?  
 

 I am closely following the breast augmentation because that is the one thing I do want and have wanted for 60 years.  But it is unlikely I would go to 400s. Just enough to be noticeable to me and others but I’m not interested in knocking out anyones eyeballs.

 

congratulations to everyone.  I envy your accomplishments.

 

hugs

 

Willow

Strange I missed this. I'll be honest, I wish I could have this done by 70 (only a couple weeks left), but I'm hoping by 72. I'm planning the same surgery, and hope to have a consult in the spring (UW, It's actually closer to me). I'll be thinking of you then, and @Bri2020very soon, admittedly with jealousy mixed in. And thanks for the congrats.

I was married over 40 years.  When we split, it freed me to reexamine who I was.  It's been a few years now, but I'm still dealing with my emotions.

Congratulations, @Hannah Renee On your new freedom. My wife is that way. "I married a man"

 

Hey everyone, Party at Hannah's house. we need to cheer her up. OH, wait I think she is. Anyway I'll bring the Mtn Dew. Drinking my own MD Pitch Black. Reg MD and grape koolaid.

 

I would love top surgery but alas. I'm like you Willow. I don't want anything to big. maybe a C cup. Haven't even looked into sizing for implants. I guess I will find out when the time comes.  When and if it ever does.

 

Hair and brows look great, was able to get out and back home without anyone knowing. Wife was at work , son had gone to wallys.  I post up pictures in a bit. (about time I broke every ones monitor.) LOL.

 

Hugs,

My wife (sorry, ex- now) assumed she married a man. I guess the joke was on both of us. I did truly love her, but I guess love doesn't always conquer all.

 

Mine had felt the same way although it didn't make any sense to my. A lot of people, including her BFF and family thought I was possibly gay. Guess from a certain POV they were right.

My ex and I had this conversation a few times.  I was not particularly attracted to guys tho.

 

I think that at this point it would mostly matter if a person (of any gender) was interested in me as a person.  

But considering my age and location, I don't expect much.  Unfortunate, but reality.

      Thank you. It seemed to me when I was driving home that I had a bit more bounce in the rear end over bumps so I'm wondering if the frame was bent. I will have them check it tomorrow morning when the do the appraisal.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      There is just a feeling that this is normal when I wear f clothes.  As a biological male I am supposed to, I suppose, experience dysphoria in f clothes. Instead it is reversed.  Sometimes there is euphoria about being a girl, but it is because my self-perception is lining up with my self-expression. Clothing is actually secondary.  Or third.  Secondary is what my body looks like.  I am a girl regardless of what I look like. I just am one.  As I get used to this I will probably stop talking about it.  Most women do not go around announcing they are women all the time.  They talk about themselves but the presupposition is that they are women.  Never a matter of debate.
    • LittleSam
      Do you feel euphoria when wearing feminine clothes? I'm curious about why you think you are supposed to feel dysphoria in fem clothes. I totally get why you would feel dysphoria with masc clothes. For me what urged my transition forwards was the amount of gender euphoria I got from dressing like a guy , and my dysphoria from wearing anything remotely fem got worse and worse until i get rid of evey fem article in my wardrobe and all my makeup, so I could concentrate on just being me and chasing the euphoria. Dysphoria didn't go away though, because I've been misgendered constantly and it hurts more when dressed in my man clothes . However now I'm on T, my doubts and dysphoria have massively lifted and I'm excited to see the masc changes to my body happening. I do have to learn patience though lol.

      Well that's no way to start off a birthday. Be sure to look at your frame just behind your rear axle to make sure it wasn't bent. When I was rear ended... At first look it appeared that my bumper was folded down, however the frame was bent which also bent the floor of the bed. I'm glad everyone is okay    Happy Birthday,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well, I am a veteran.  I did manage to get an honorable discharge - just barely.  I was drafted to start with, and I wasn't wild about it.  But I figured it was my duty as a citizen, so there's that.  TBH I find it hard to stomach people who dodged the draft, going on and on about being such "patriots" and all, and literally hugging the flag. My egg hadn't cracked yet when I was serving, so I don't think being trans directly affected my time in uniform.  But there was most likely some subconscious stuff. Sorry, I don't think this is much use to you.
    • Ivy
      That was just one reference that came up.  I originally saw it somewhere else.  Technically, he did call for the eradication of "transgenderism".  But it would be hard to get rid of that (whatever it is) with us still here.     Yeah, later, when he got called out on it.   I don't really see how you can say this.  Sure he doesn't know what he's talking about, but the damage is real.   I will bend over backwards to give someone the benefit of the doubt.  But at some point…. I'm just not as limber any more.   They can say what they want, but actions speak louder than words, and when I see what is happening in red states it is obvious.  They do want to get rid of us.  I'm tired of pretending they don't.

      For a time I would get an anxiety attack when I had to dress in male mode.  Haven't tried it in a while.

      Thank for the birthday wishes, everyone!!!   It started great...and then I was rear-ended at a highway construction site this morning. I'm OK. The woman who hit me was shaken - was going fast enough to deploy her air bags. I was at dead stop. Her car had to be towed away. My truck too a hit to the tailgate and the bumper. It seems OK otherwise but I'll know tomorrow when they do the appraisal.   UGH!   Happy Birthday to Me!! :-)

      "How did it go yesterday? Any trouble in Millville?" He shook his head. "Your biscuits and gravy are great." "Mama's recipe. She taught this girl to COOK." "Uh-huh.  Well, it rained the whole time.  We did the ground breaking in pouring rain.  Your friend, the former head of manufacturing, is now on the Board.  It looks like sunshine down there, he told me, with the missile plant starting up and they re-hired all the people they fired.  Millville Products is as it was.  And the Chinese money is still coming.  That was just an ugly rumor.  Gibson quit, but you knew that." "Missile plant, huh.  Yeah.  Gibson and I may go into business.  But I have been thinking-" "Yeah.  It's been declassified.  I can tell you they made missiles for Navy ships and planes during World War 2. It was shut down after Vietnam.  Several other supporting companies are moving in - paint, electronics assembly, a few others - that support missile production." "Okay."

      https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/col/cj82k733h   I am now dissatisfied with the thread title because it seems to exclude Catholics and maybe others .  I am not sure what to change it to, so I will fuss over THAT now.

      I'm on the ballot being mailed tomorrow for an open US Rep seat.  I have both an honorable discharge and an other than honorable discharge.  I told the Navy that I was smoking pot every day right after Y2K.  I told them that while I was in the Navy, I substituted alcohol for marijuana and that the alcohol was making me violently sick.  After 5+ years of that, I said enough is enough and I went back to smoking pot.  I got better and I felt like the quality of my work was improving.   I certainly wasn't the perfect military member, but I excelled at my job and earned a promotion in boot camp.  They drug tested our unit several times after I told them I was smoking pot and I may have never tested positive.  I was opening smoking pot in the Navy for 3 or 4 months before they decided to kick me out.  At my captain's mast, the captain tried to shame me by saying I looked bad in uniform and that I was a disgrace, but all my evaluations said that I looked great in uniform.  I took great pride in looking good in my dress blues and whites.  Sure, I had grown my hair out a little bit (you know, it's not like I became trans in my 50's all the sudden) and I was enjoying some green anodized eye glasses :)   I think that people get very emotional about these kinds of issues when they should be concentrating more on engineering things and work performance.  I think we should take the lead and talk about our professional lives more instead of focusing on this type of politics.  That's a great document and I saved the PDF to my hard drive.  I think we should have more respect for the production that China is doing instead of concentrating on raising a military defense against them.  I personally disliked the hazing rituals in the Navy and think our military would be better off with being more accepting and intelligent.
