Well I'm back from my trip. My Dad refused to go to my nephew's birthday party because I was there. I was kind of hoping to put it behind us but I guess he is just too salty. I'm to a point where I only want a relationship with him just because of my kids but if he doesn't then I'm fine with that too. I'm almost passed the point of caring. I guess I double booked the appointments. I have one that is a video and my son has one. I think I'll reschedule one and just go from there. The party was nice and got to enjoy everyone. Unfortunately I was still called Scott but I guess at least they love me. 

 

When I arrived at my Mom's she said gross because that was the first time she saw me as Ashley. She did say it was going to take some time to getting used to. I'm glad to be back home and have the kids. Well I guess that is it for now.

I had a decent, low-stress weekend.  Went to a bachelor party on Friday night and then the wedding on Saturday.  Got to hang out with family and friends, eat well, and relax.  My husband cooked us one of our traditional big Sunday breakfasts this morning, and for some reason I was so hungry that I ate 3 plates of it. 

 

I'm still getting carried around most everywhere, and I'm definitely looking forward to being able to walk again soon.  I'm starting to be able to take a few steps, putting maybe 30% of the normal weight on my bad ankle.  I can move around the kitchen and bathroom without hopping too much.  I can't do it on uneven surfaces or very far away from something to grab, but it is more than I was able to do 2 weeks ago.  🙂

Hi everyone 

 

off yesterday and today.  I had forgotten how nice it is to have two days off in a row.  
 

Myrtle Beach City Council dropped support for Pride last year and refused to take it up this year.  There was a Pride fest in The park next to city hall on Saturday.  I have to admit I don’t participate but that’s because there are too many shootings in the Pee Dee and Grand Strand.  I have enough issues right here by my home. No shootings but definitely lots of folk who hate Transgender people, just more civilized.

 

our church had its 40th anniversary celebration yesterday.  Turns out it was the last church of our denomination to be formed.  I won’t speculate but there could be several reasons for that.  
 

guess I should stop being lazy and do some housework.  I need laundry and the kitchen is crying out.

I just got done with my speech therapy and found out there is more to sounding feminine than just pitch alone. My average pitch was 138. Sorry I don't know why it's sideways and can't figure out how to fix it. My pitch did get too high and was told that I needed to be careful to not damage vocal cords. I was told that I didn't have as much of a masculine voice as I thought. I'm so glad. There is still plenty of work to be done but I'm on the right track.

That's a great update Billie, I so happy for you.

Ashley, I'm sorry our dad is still avoiding you. However your mom sounds more accepting, and hopefully your dad will see that he's the one missing out.

my vocal feminization speech therapist said I was ok with my upper pitch but I needed to work with it.  But my biggest problem is remembering to use that voice and not get lazy and revert to my 74 year old male voice.  That’s the toughest part for me.

Yeah I'm afraid I might slip up and male voice comes out. I guess I'm just going to keep practicing and hopefully get used to only using my feminine voice.

My therapist says I am getting better. I too have to remember to use it.

 

My profile on classmates dot com. has been getting quite a few hits since I came out. Don't know if it is that or people just looking at different profiles. How ever nothing negative, yet. I made my reservations for the hotel today. Looking forward to going to my 40th class reunion. Plus, if it turns out being lame or hate filled.  The same day is the Woodward Ave.Dream cruise. Either way I'll have fun.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

@KymmieLI hope you have a wonderful time at your 40th class reunion, and don't feel the need to seek alternative entertainment.

Being able to pass vocally is one of my biggest issues, and yet I haven't sought out a speech therapist yet.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. 

 

I hope everyone is doing good. I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee. My son has his speech therapy and hopefully will be better than last week. He didn't want to do anything other than play with toys. Hopefully more progress on words and sounds.

 

@KymmieL I didn't know that the classmates thing was still going. I might have to look at mine. I don't remember any of the login stuff and I don't even think I have the email that I used anymore too lol.

Yeah, me either.  I'm pretty much convinced that I never will pass physically, so there's not a lot of motivation.

I hope as well. Everyone accepts me for me. 

 

Then again  the Dream Cruise is a bucket list item.

Good evening

 

We lost a teen from our teen group over the weekend.  Right now they are calling it an unintentional overdose.  
 

Regardless of if it was accidental or not, it is always sad to lose a child.  I pray the family will remember him for the life he lived.  It has become so terribly difficult for our transgender children. I know many who have lost their medical care.  So many doctors who treated transgender teens are being forced to stop providing care.  And I am aware of teens who don’t want to be forced to go through puberty as someone they know they aren’t.  please, do something to try to stop the few that are forcing doctors and parents to stop helping our kids.  We’ve been through this we know how difficult it is.

@Willow  Wow.  That's some difficult stuff to process.  I hope the family has strong bonds and a good support network.  Whether the overdose was accidental or not, taking large amounts of a substance usually is intentional for some reason or other.  Folks typically don't do that because they're feeling good about themselves....and its a sad thing when it ends badly. 

 

I know puberty is a mess for just about everybody, but it is triply messy for those of us who don't know what we are, can't figure it out, or know for sure but can't do anything about it.  I wish our society could approach adolescence with a bit of flexibility.  People are seldom the same at 18 or 28 as they were at 13.

Good morning, everyone! I've finished my first cup of coffee so my brain is beginning to function....slowly.

 

How tragic @Willow - I can't imagine what the family is going through. Teenage years are difficult enough as they are without all the added stresses of gender identity added to the mix. And, our society certainly isn't helping to ease the stresses at this point.

 

Stay safe and look for the goodness in each day.

Tragic losing any child's life no matter what the circumstances are. Being a teenager is hard enough. I had it bad myself and I didn't know I was trans at that time. I just didn't see the clues. Prayers to the family and friends of the young man. May he rest in peace.

 

I GOT HER RUNNING!!! I got my wagon fired up. no problems so far. I am proud of myself that I did it. A couple minor things then she will take her maiden voyage.

Caffeined up and definitely feel the energy might be even too much lol. It's funny how my seven year old already acts like a teenager. I'm hoping he will act like how I did because I wasn't a bad kid. I didn't do anything wrong other than cut myself because I still knew that my parents wouldn't accept me that I had gender dysphoria. I'm definitely going to be paying extra attention when he gets there.

I am glad you are doing better and that the Hormone Therapy is going well for you too. I agree about your voice it is actually not very masuline to begin with so good luck with your voice coach you can do it I believe in you.  I wish you all the best on your journey.

Thank you on watching it. I'm not looking at making money I just want to share my experience

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?
