I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.
Hello & welcome, Blake! It is indeed cool to be here. I've found support and a lots of genuine, good folks here. I hope you enjoy. Look forward to hearing more from you.
I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.
Hugs,

Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.
Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.
I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions. One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others. One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro. A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages. Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children. A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else. I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.
What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office. Why? Just because his views are different, or even offensive? Who makes that determination? Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?" Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.
@Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do. I don't take it well if I get scolded. Either I sulk or I get nippish.
We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday. Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers. GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids. Her eldest starts school this fall. Amazing how time flies...
Reminds me of elementary school when a kid yanked my chair as I was taking a seat. I told him to "go suck an egg" and we both got sent to the principals office. I was like, "tf did I do to deserve that?"
Firstly, it's nice to hear that your other half is now open to you living as you are!
Secondly, things I have noticed, having started shots just before the New Year:
Tears do come much more easily
I am far more tender with my wife and I like to snuggle more
I have noticed anxiety has an increased effect on me
I am on a weekly injection, so when I get near my next shot I have noticed feeling a little emotionally "blah"
After shots I am much more energetic and bubbly
Otherwise, I wouldn't say I've been on any kind of roller coaster of emotion and I'm far from unstable. So take heart and congratulations!
