So sorry that you had that experience @heatherd - but glad that the mothers stepped in. Too many parents don't take the time to be......parents. 

 

Good morning, everyone!! Already on my 3rd cup of coffee, dogs are walked and I've read the local newspaper. No projects planned for today. I have a few small outdoor projects to do, but the temperatures need to warm up a bit before I venture out for any long periods of time.

 

After having so much fun sitting and talking together on my "reveal" night, my wife and I are having our first Dinner and Drinks Night here, tonight. We've got a special dinner planned and then will enjoy drinks at our bar. It's a chance for both of us to dress up and wear high heels. Yes!!!

 

Enjoy this wonderful day!!!

I'm so happy for you, April! It's just wonderful how accepting your wife . Enjoy your evening!!!

 

And, you're right about parents. Many are too concerned with being "friends" with their children to teach them right from wrong. It's sad. 

 

@heatherd, just like April, I'm glad the mothers stepped in. As the mostly single parent of two teenage girls who survived into adulthood (sometimes barely) I would NEVER have tolerate my girls giving anyone the stink eye. I'm sorry this happened to you.

Well Kymmie, I remember at least 6 days last year in Wyoming when it actually made it to greater than 80 degrees! We do not have to worry, more snow is forecast for the entire week up near Spearfish. I can imagine a new tune, "I'm dreaming of a white Easter..."

I will take a nice 75-degree day in the sunshine any day over a daily dose of snow. I go back and forth to SC from WY and SD. There is a point when the snow just is not pretty to look at anymore!

 

Katie23 I would too. I am so done with snow. Yet, I bought a home in WY. Some can say I need my head examined. It's been done, it's still there.

And you can get there pretty quickly.

Here in NC I'm satisfied to see it maybe once in a winter.  Haven't had any in my area this winter.

 

In fact, it's been a mild winter in my part of the state.  I have seen on the news that plenty of the rest of the country has taken a beating though.

@heatherd  I think it’s great they gave you a hug.  Funny, to me teens are thought to be more accepting than the parents, you got the opposite.

 

Hey I move here from the mountains of Virginia to get away from ALL snow.  That winter we got the once every ten years snowfall. So much for no snow.  
 

I could go for year round seventies, low 80s. Much higher and the humidity starts running up the feels like.  64 right now.  Sitting outside.  Generally, the last perfect day for a week. Then right back again.  The weatherman said we go from winter to false spring back to winter then real spring.  That becomes summer in no time at all.  Summer lasts until late September then false fall, summer, real fall.

 

 The palms are looking good, grass is green, the crepe myrtles are putting out leaves and the tea olives and azaleas are blooming.

 

AND EVERYTHING IS YELLOW WITH POLLEN 🤬

Good morning, everyone!!! Our winter has been very mild. Not much snow and nowhere near as cold as usual - which is fine for me. I've had to shovel and plow a few times so far but we're already seeing Spring birds at our feeders and some of the early blossoming trees have already began to bud out.

 

What an amazing evening - really the entire day - we had dressing for dinner and both wearing high heels. Since today is National Dress Day, we're going to do it all again tonight.

 

Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day!

April glad your spouse is accepting. That is fantastic.

 

Well looks like we are possibly going to Cheyenne this afternoon to get our new furry addition to the family. Not really that furry as she is a smooth Mini dachshund.  

 

I am not really sure my wife wants her.  Just a feeling, however she will not tell me what she is feeling. If I ask her what is wrong, she always says nothing.

 

Hugs,

Hey everyone.

 

It's been a while.

I have had so much happen over the last few months but I won't bore you all with the details, just the cliff notes.

 

My housing is finally stabilizing now that I have a roommate. As an added bonus their 3yo started to call me "Star Mommy". I find it intriguing how children just see people for who they are without knowing the opinions of others.

 

There's been changes in my relationships. One GF left me to go back to her wife. I am hurt by it but I can't blame her. I celebrated a one year anniversary with another last month but due to my own issues and after living together for 3 weeks, I asked her to move out. We're still together but obviously things are not the same. One of my trans friends, actually my first trans friend, professed her feelings for me. It only took her 3 years but we're now officially dating. Nothing has really changed with the other two.

 

I have a consult for bottom surgery in June. I don't know if it's luck or fate but my roommate got their consult for top surgery the same day, same doctor, time slot just before mine. It's going to be the weirdest field trip ever.

 

I'm still doing the 3d printed chainmail thing. I showed off some glow-in-the-dark stuff I made on TikTok and it seems to have been well received so I bought a second printer in an effort to ramp up production. I am definitely making a lot more of it these days but am also cautiously optimistic about it going anywhere.

 

Have a great day everyone,

Good afternoon

 

lots of good news going on here.  Happy for all of you.  
 

We went to the Y this morning.  I took Aqua Fitness and Senior Strength and Stretch.  Believe it or not, combining those back to back is a pretty full workout.  When we got home, we were preparing lunch when my wife remembered it was Free Bundt Cake day.  So, I walked over to the shop and waited in line. When it was time, they started serving the line that had built up. Everyone in line got one free Bundtlette.  Oreo Cookies and Cream.  I’m not certain how often the do this but starting at 1:11 pm they give out 110 cakes to the first 110 in line.  
 

I am not certain how long it will take but the only thing remaining to get cleared for the job I prefer is a background check.  That shouldn’t take too long.

 

Have a great day

 

Willow

Hey there Lizzy,

 

Thanks for the update, I guess we lost you to TikTok for updates on the chainmail, and what you're wearing thread. We all know you're busy, and life happens.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated.

Good morning, everyone. So much good news here - and it's nice to meet you @Elizabeth Star.

 

Willow - a new job close to home and free Bundt Cake. Score on both accounts!

 

And, it's so refreshing to read about your experience @heatherd - we truly need more people like that in the world.

 

My wife and I had another fun evening celebrating National Dress Day - dresses, heels, cocktails followed by a light soup and salad dinner and ended with an after dinner drink at our bar. We talked about me venturing out in public - both with her and on my own - and I think I'm ready. That nagging "will I pass" voice is still there in the background but my wife says "yes" and when I look in the mirror, I think I can, too. 2 months into this journey and I feel as if I'm making some good progress.

 

Enjoy your day, everyone, and thank you all for helping me grow through your life's experiences.

Good morning April. For what it's worth, even after more than three years of living full time as my true self, that "nagging voice," as you so aptly put it comes calling every now and then. I guess it happens to all of us. The important thing is that you live your best life and not worry about passing or not--YOU are a unique and beautiful soul; "fearfully and wonderfully made," as Scripture teaches us. It doesn't matter how others judge us as long as we know who we are. Be happy and proud of yourself.  It takes great courage to "come out," as they say, and you have taken that first step. 

 

Each day on your journey is an adventure, often with surprising results, and some adventures are better than others. It's an exciting journey filled with wonder and surprises. You will always be accepted and loved by everyone here, and you will make new friends and find support and affirmation among many of those you already know. 

 

Hugs,

Marcie

You are so affirming @Marcie Jensen - thank you for these wonderful words of encouragement and love. I know that, in the end, I can only control my own happiness...and I am so very happy to be where I am in this journey. Thank you also for that acknowledgement that "the voice" is there for everyone. I CAN overcome it....WILL overcome it. 

 

You put a smile on my face...even bigger that it already was.  Much love to you!!

Good morning 

 

it’s supposed to be the lane last nice day today.  I’ve said that before but the weatherman keeps pushing it back. It did cool down some yesterday afternoon but right back again today.  
 

Nothing on the agenda today although we do have to make a run to Walmart or Lowe’s Foods. For a couple things.  Either one we have to pass Lowes Home Improvements.  lol you have to be specific around here.

Good morning everyone,

 

We had a wonderful May Day yesterday. I worked with the shop doors open, and short sleeve tee shirt on under my welding leathers. Today we're back to real March Winter Temperatures. I have a fire in the wood-stove and a long sleeve sweatshirt on. 

 

Here's a picture of how we kept track of the coffee brew time at my old fire department.:coffee:

 

Hugs,

@Hannah Renee if only, sigh. 😥 No chance for me of growing my own hair to be styled by a salon.    It’s wigs or bowling ball for me.

@Hannah ReneeI wish I was sitting in a hair salon right now! I've been having trouble finding a good one. I had an appointment last week but had to cancel because I wasn't feeling well. Maybe next week. I found one in an area of Queens that is around the corner from a senior lgbt center I go to, so I'm hoping to combine trips. I'm overdue for a perm. I've given up on trying to have a masc hair style--my hair is fine and grey with no wave and doesn't really hold the style.

That's the moment you know you have a good salon. I had a similar thing happen to me about over a year ago when I moved out west. I called a salon, made an appointment, and thought I will just be upfront about being trans. The stylist looks at me and says, "No problem, my son is transgender."

 

Out of the blue! Sometimes there are odd coincidences that make you smile!

The owner said she does not discriminate at all.

Your hair looks beautiful @Hannah Renee! I'm almost totally gray - have been for years - and started growing mine out hoping to get somewhere close to the look and length of my wig. I think yours is really the perfect length now.

      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.

      Our government is huge and could, and probably should, be streamlined. But we are living in 2024, and not the late 18th century.  The founders did provide for updating the Sacred Constitution.  And it has been done on occasion.   There is a lot going on, and I don't want to be a single issue voter.  But I feel that it is being forced on me as a matter of my survival.

      Many women my age wear their hair super-short, and I don't really have a need to have it long.  Longer in places where I can't grow it, if it is long  No aspirations to be a supermodel here.  The mustache would have to go before the wig comes if I ever did that.  I am threading a narrow path.

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow
