Just got to work. Noticed on the drive in that there is a full moon. I love full moons! Although they seem to change my emotions. I feel more inner focused and less energy.

Good Morning all.

I decided I am dumb and can not stay away from this forum no matter how busy my life gets.

I love this place and it truly has saved my life and changed my life so much for the better.  

I feel like I owe it to others to stick around and help or at least share.  BUt more then tah I want to be apart of this family still.  

So Yeah.

I am back for good.

 

Ok today?

Coffee is hot and good.  The morning commute was beautiful as the sun was rising and the colors were amazing and I sang my heart out the whole time!

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Woke up around 3 AM from a dream but went back to sleep until 5:11 AM and woke up from another dream. My dreams always have lots of people in them. In my dreams I am always the star! They play out like movies. I recently dreamt of my ex. I use to dream of her as a character that was out to hurt me. If I dream of her she is not so scary and some dreams are actually nice. I would rather not dream of her though. Yesterday was a hard stressful day on the phone. Customers were getting mad at me and I almost lost it! It’s weird how your emotions can change by a simple move. I was wearing pink pants and a black shirt but I notice Tessa likes dresses and skirts. I also noticed I was being lazy with my voice and just not caring about myself. Thinking I can’t do this job! I paused and put on a dress, puts some lotion on my skin, and took a deep breath and let Tessa out. My mood and my job performance improved right away. When I go back to the office I won’t wear a dress or skirts so I am going to have to get Tessa use to jeans. It’s so weird beginning to know this other person. I gave my guy friend some videos because his birthday is coming up. He respects me as Tessa and complimented on my hair. I told him I miss him. His mom is high risk for Covid so we can’t hang out. However, we may try for a little while if we wear each a mask but not at his house. Will see. I dreamt last night I bought some skin makeup. If I really did that and covered my 5 o clock shadow I may even bring the beauty of Tessa out more! Maybe some lipstick and eye shadow? Will see. I’ve been listening to music while I work and it’s nice to have background music on. Thinking of a little shopping after work. Will see. Finished my hot bath and now I need to get ready for the day. I hope today will not be as stressful as yesterday.

 

Love

Awe! I miss my drive to work! I would sing all the way there! Singing and enjoying nature is like creating art. Your car is the stage, nature is the background, and you are the Star! Plus you moving forward getting somewhere. Yes. It’s just a drive but if you use your imagination it can be named something like, “Mobility In Motion” You can see yourself as beautiful because you are! Singing also I think opens doors to allow new memories to flow into your brain. I don’t know what you listen to but if I were you it would be something encouraging. I would even do hand motions while I hold the steering wheel of course. Enjoy the drive Babe! 
 

Love to all are drivers out there still driving to work! 
 

Love Tessa❤️?

ShawnaLeigh, 

 

I left the site for a long time to. However, when Tessa stared coming out I came back. There are beautiful people here. We enjoy having you with us. We are all on our own journeys. 
 

Peace

I use singing to enhance my female voice.  I sing songs that are encouraging and some tragic love stories or break ups. But they have the ranges I am trying to achieve and the lows still as well.  I am sounding like a duet now.  LOL

But no matter I am singing totally in a feminine voice and as loud as I can to strengthen it.

Its wonderful to hear myself sounding like this.

Good morning everyone!  Another cold, but sunny day, to make me appreciate a warm cup of tea even more.

 

@ShawnaLeigh Welcome back girl!  I love singing in the car, or pretty much anywhere. I’ve developed a pretty decent falsetto from doing this for years, now if I can just get my chest voice and speaking voice to sound as good and as much like how I want, I’ll be over the moon. 
 

Have a wonderful day everyone! Hugs!

Yes it is girl! I do the same! Just keep on singing and singing. Have a wonderful day! Feeling really girly today! I put on a Grey mini skirt and did my nails. Put lotion on my body. I love how my legs feel after the lotion. Can any of you girls relate? I use to look at my skinny ness as a curse when I was presenting male but now it is a blessing! Working at home you can dress like you want. Today is love your skin day! I made it up. I can clearly say I am the most beautiful Babe here! Trying to start my day off in a positive light because once the phone calls start I have to hear all the heart wrenching stories. But Tessa’s sweet voice and personality will make ever customer leave the call with a smile and a kiss on their heart!

Good morning everybody! (actually its almost bedtime here, but I love this forum each time I check in)

 

I can relate Tessa!  I spent most of my life loathing and embarrassed by my non-masculine body.  Wide hips, narrow shoulders, very little muscle mass ... Now?  I so much appreciate my body being the way it is ... I guess there was always a reason.  Love shaving my legs too!

Yes! I hate when you accidentally cut them though. Do you shave them while you take a bath or shower? Just curious what the best way is. Right after I shave mine I spread cream on them and get them nice and smooth. I sometimes call this trans phone number. The people are volunteers that are trans. They are so wonderful to talk to. I’ll share the number. (866-513-7217) I really love mini skirts but I got rid of all mine. So I cut up some jeans and made homemade quarantine minis! They are way short! Only could wear them at my apartment. I’m not ready for hormones yet. I’m trying to love my body the way it is with only slight modifications. Kind of like an old car. You can’t afford a new one so maybe you get some cool seat covers (My beautiful nails-some lady complimented me on them in the Sonic drive through) a new paint job (shaving my legs and body and putting lotion on) and a labra for the front of the car (more feminine hair due) sup up the engine (new personality) Then you take her for a spin! (Lol) See how she drives and so far the voice I use can melt people’s hearts and apparently turn a guy on. My feminine side takes over and it’s like I can’t help it. A little flirty but not dirty. Tessa has her own way and she is amazing how she carries herself. Just yesterday someone in a drive through did a special order for me. I love when my brain matches and it doesn’t matter what kind of body your in you will present the right gender. Maybe I will try hormones someday but I’m not ready yet. I don’t blame anyone who is taking them because that is your decision. I respect you for it. Right now I’m just enjoying being in my right mind. It’s liberating not to be depressed and feeling like your life is worthless. It’s just better being Tess. So for now that’s who I’ll be!

Morning gang! No coffee for me this morning. Labs at 8am no food or coffee. It’s been 3 months since I’ve had to enter a medical facility. How time flies and how much has changed. Everything except labs I’ve been able to do virtually or thru telehealth ever since. Hopefully, it’ll be a quick ‘in and out’ but who knows?

@Tessa I’m glad you’re pampering yourself. Everyone needs to do that on occasion...no matter what your gender.

 

Stay safe all,

Susan R?

That's awesome.  I feel like myself inside, but outside .... I feel so buttoned up.  I wish I could just flip a switch and dance like nobody is watching.   Or do everything you said in your post.

 

Maybe you've heard this one?  There are many variations, or more verses, but here's the variation I learned:

 

Dance like nobody's watching.

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you'll never get hurt.

 

I'm really good at the last two, but the first one?   A big challenge.

Hi Tess

I shave in the shower (at the end).  Use a plastic stool to sit on most times, it helps.  I hate cuts, but since I changed to a 5-blade cartridge recently I hardly ever get cuts.  Seems to shave smoother too.
Afterwards I will actually use a nice face cream around the most sensitive areas (you know where those are ?) and a good body lotion on the rest of my legs.
Happy you are feeling GREAT today .. have a good rest of the week everybody.  Im off to bed ?

I felt the same way. My youngest said this site is an enabler. I deleted it from my bookmarks for 3 days. then said the heck with it. I have good friends here, i am not leaving them. My only true friends really.

 

Well finally a day off. I don't know if it is the stress of what is happening in my life or work itself or a combination. I just can't seem to wrap my head around work like I once did. I want to do things but it seems that work is getting in the way.

 

Coffee is warming. up so should have my first cuppa joe shortly.

 

Everyone keep safe, healthy and as sane as you can.

Good morning

 

its a beautiful day here.  We’ve actually had a spring this year.  The weather often skips from “winter” if you can call it that, to summer.

 

Coffee was relaxing today.  I’m sitting outside knowing I have yard work to do but not getting motivated to do it. It’s not going anywhere.

 

i never leave, I check the site frequently but I may not post if I don’t have anything to add to the conversation.

 

Enjoy your day.

Good morning all,

Wife and I had a huge argument last night about if I should use the women's restroom because I used it earlier at Walmart without specifically telling her which restroom I was going into before I used it.  She was worried I could get kicked out of the store for "harassing" but I didn't at all, or I could get arrested....both unfounded and unwarranted things.  Maybe 2 + years ago this was true, but the times have changed and she hasn't kept up.  

 

Then she said something very hurtful.  She told me that I WAS A MAN using a women's restroom and women are uncomfortable with that.  I corrected her and said, NO I'M A WOMAN, she said, NO YOU ARE A MAN USING A WOMEN's RESTROOM! This was extremely hurtful....I had very bad thoughts of harming myself last night but I got over them.

I'm sorry that happened. That shows a lack of respect for what you're dealing with from your partner. Also, if you're presenting as a woman and you look like a woman, wouldn't the men be just as uncomfortable? It can be dangerous for a trans woman to use a men's restroom. Sometimes we don't come out again. Scary stuff.

 

Legally, it depends on your state. Where I live, it's illegal to use a woman's restroom while you still have a penis. I'm unfamiliar with the rules in Hawaii, but you might want to check, just in case. On top of that, different establishments might have different rules about who can use what facility. For example, the gym I go to has a standing order to use whatever restroom you feel most comfortable in. I used the unisex bathroom until I was in compliance with state law. I'm funny that way. The point being that I didn't have to.

 

Finally, we're in there to pee like everybody else. What are people getting so hung up about? Honestly.

 

Hugs!

So sorry you're wife reacted that way, awful and hurtful thing to say.  You are right, you are a woman who was using the women's restroom.  How were you dressed?  If you are not presenting feminine, it can be very risky.  It shouldn't matter, but unfortunately, it does. There are still a lot of people out there who are stuck on gender and segregation due to some false sense of threat to their security.

So, I did not have a wig or my breast forms on.  However, I had a woman's shirt, shorts pulled up like a woman would, no bulge showing.

It is protected in Hawaii.  Jackie, which state do you live in where it's illegal?

      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

      One month here. Huh.

      "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

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie
    • Birdie
      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.
