Good morning

 

coffee is good and welcome this morning.

 

I do not post pictures of myself on open websites, but I do when I can control who can see them.  New pictures are few and far between.  Example my profile picture next to this post.  I don’t even have this wig any more.  The problem with wigs is they don’t last very long before you have to replace them. I prefer to not make sudden drastic changes but it’s difficult not to.

 

anyway, I received this yesterday

Well good morning y'all. Not feeling good today so I might skip on church today. Stomach is in knots, nauseous and have cold sweats. I'm hoping this goes away soon because I really want to go to church because there is going to be a guest preacher who has been doing it for over 65 years.

I hope you feel better soon Ashley and good morning to you all.

Thank you I can use it. I got daring and decided to have a cup of coffee. It's kind of a requirement as I'm just like my Mom. If I don't have coffee in the morning than I'll be getting a migraine later on.

It is not very often, but I can relate to migraine too. I have just mild black tea with a little bit of honey put in it and a green limette. Later we going to have a bbq in the garden with friends and my brother.

Once I finally got a wig, it wasn't real long until I got another.  I actually do switch off.  LOL.  I can change my hairstyle pretty easily.

I do have shoulder length hair, just not on top.  A lot of the time I just go without the wig, and cover the top with a hat or scarf.

I know - and have seen - cis women with very thin hair.  And of course some cis ladies do use wigs.

But in my case, in this town people know I'm trans anyway - for better or worse.  I do stay with my natural color though, grey.

Intersex can have thinning hair as well. Mine is much thinner on top, and I have to part on the side and "comb over" for it to look the way I want. Thinning hair is just part of getting old: male, female, or in-between. 😉

Morning all.

 

My Saturday, with the wife here. I was able to sleep in. Don't know why, lately I can only sleep in when she is with me. Could be that L word. Don't know.

 

Waiting for the coffee to brew. I normally access the site and post with my laptop. Sometime with my phone. If I am in need to post something.

 

Well I think and hope I fixed the fuel leak on the wagon. I just forgot to check my fittings and didn't tighten one. Had it under pressure for about 5 minutes with no leakage. So, fingers crossed. I have 4 days till we are taking her to the show. Going to take her on an Ice Cream run today. about 60 miles round trip.

 

gotta go coffee is calling, and I must answer.

Hey folks,

I had a pretty interesting and beautiful conversation with parts of my friends today, since it is pride month. So we had barrbeque and would tlak about this and that and finally we came to the point to talk about the lgbtqi+ Community and so I learned something about some of my friends and my brother too.

The overall consensus was neither too bad or too good, but one of my best friends was extremely open minded about us ( I am not out yet, but I tried to figure out what my friends think about this topic)

He said he is not hyped for the community, but also not against it and said in his mind it is not important how or what you are, the only importance is if you are happy and that is all that matters. Of course we were going into more detail at that topic and the only person who didnt take the conversation serious and made a lot of stupid jokes was my brother. But my friends did say shut up and tried to ignore him and we philosophied a bit more. I am now pretty sure, that at least my dearest friends would understand or at least have acceptance about it. My brother hmm this is sadly another topic, but maybe he was just silly and did just not take it serious enough.

 

If Ashley reads this, may I ask you about your visit in the bar if that is ok? If you dont want to tell it is fine too.

Hugs for you all 🙂

I haven't been able to do much this weekend. I spent most it being nauseous and abdominal pain. I do have an upper and lower endoscopy scheduled on the 27th. I wasn't able to go to church today but that's ok. I'm beginning to think it's because of the testosterone blocker with the nauseous but I don't care if I face it everyday I will get that GRS done and won't have to worry about taking medicine anymore. My abdominal pain has been constant for about two months now. I have tried a lot of different things with no relief. Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of this.

Good evening 

 

I had a really good day today went to church this morning wher a lot of people treated me.  I am accepted as part of a women’s circle.  Spoke with a friend whose son is transgender.  This church could be more accepting of me. 
 

after church I went to work and was having a really good day.  Nothing went wrong, not even the person I was working with got to me (she is often problematic, todays issue was she left work early). Working alone until the next person came in didn’t bother me either.

 

@Ivy while I have no doubt most everyone can figure out my status, I still don’t like sudden total appearance changes or switching back and forth.  I have a lot of women who treat as an equal and I prefer not to loose that.

 

have a great night everyone.  Thunderstorms here.

I'm more of a Mountain Dew drinker myself (but I love coffee ice cream). Facing some serious dental surgery on Friday. Had cancer 20 years ago (head and neck region). Had heavy doses of radiation. It helped kill the cancer (thank you, God! Cancer free for two decades) but it did a number on my mouth, saliva glands, teeth, etc. for the long term.

 

Most of my bottom teeth have fallen out - the rest will be taken out this Friday, plus roots from those that fell out. I run the risk of infection in my jaw and things not healing right (and basically my jaw bone dying). Doing daily hyperbaric oxygen treatments to promote better healing. Anyways, prayers would be appreciated for a smooth, infection free recovery.

 

Stuff with my family is still not good. My oldest daughter wants nothing to do with me (since learning of my gender questioning/love for wearing women's clothes). Of course, I have been absent for part of her life (my own stupidity) and her mom and I are currently separated. We were making progress toward reconciliation until my recent disclosures about gender stuff. Now, she's stepped back big time... Sigh... I thought openness was the best policy. But alas...

Good morning

 

I hope today will be a better day. I spent half the day crying yesterday over "just stuff". I even cancelled lunch over it. 

Gosh my emotions can get the best of me sometimes. 

Today is a new day, and I'll just try to make it a good one. 💖

Good morning, everyone!! Let the week begin!!! The first cup of coffee is flowing through my veins so I'm semi-awake. Today I have a few small projects around the house and need to run a few errands. There's rain in the forecast so I'll probably not be able to work on my tan by the pool. This retired life is hard!🤣

 

I hope you are feeling better @Ashley0616 and the doctors find the root cause of your sickness. And, I will keep you in my prayers this week @EasyE that your dental surgery goes well.

 

@Birdie- I think we all go through times where our emotions get the best of us. In working with my therapist I finally came to the realization that my gender dysphoria wasn't always the cause of those down times. We all just have days where we're emotionally down and the causes are myriad - "just stuff" as you rightly noted. I think I've mentioned this before but, several years ago, I had a friend on another forum who had been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. He'd gone through chemo and radiation and nothing worked - he was slowly losing his battle and facing periods of pain. nausea and vertigo. As bad as it was, he came online every day and his last comment was always "Look for the goodness in every day. It might be small, but it's there." I'm not always successful, but I try to model his approach. Finding the goodness, no matter how small, helps me push the sadness away.

 

Be safe and be happy. Look for the goodness in this beautiful day we've been gifted.

I think I might need to see a therapist. 

I had pressured my doctor into investigating further into my intersex situation. In my mind I thought the doctor would finally agree that I was assigned the wrong gender. If you count my mammaries, I have more female plumbing than I do male. 

To my great disappointment, the doctor concluded that I was correctly gendered at birth based "solely" off my XY chromosomes. 😢

Thinking about it really got me down yesterday.

Good morning from Portland Oregon, which is the trans-iest place I’ve ever been. So many of us out and about, it was fun to lose the “which trans woman can compliment the other one’s hair first” contest I had at an ice cream place last night.

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      What about it?

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.
    • KatieSC
      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
