Hi everyone! Haven’t posted much I’ve been playing catch-up at work since I was off for Covid. I had my endocrinologist appointment yesterday day my T levels dropped way down almost to the proper level.

 

Glad to hear you're back on your feet after that. And congrats on low T!

Since I'm always looking for results I've been thinking my skin is somewhat smoother in places, since you read about that one a lot. But realizing I should have done a better audit of how rough my skin was before I started cause I don't know if it's real. That's your tip of the day for everyone contemplating HRT but not underway yet!

 

Off to make second cuppa of the day.

Rhonda I think my skin is starting to get smoother. I’ve noticed my face is starting to fill out especially my cheeks.

It's like I was driving the train down this track, but now it's driving me.  I don't know what I would even go back to at this point.

 

Yup, that's exactly the feeling. 

 

@Emily michelle glad you got over covid with no more issues. Congrats on you low T and progress! It's good to see you all moving forward and feeling good about it.

Hi everyone

 

Sitting here watching the clock for time to log in for my therapy appointment.  Since Y'all been talking about injections, I was quite surprised about how easy my first E injection went.  the only hard part was getting it out of the syringe.  The oil is hard to push.  The needle was a piece of cake.  I know you will look at the needle and your leg and think about it but try not to.  Just go for it.

 

Pay attention to the nurse showing you what to do, there are important aspects to injecting oneself that you don't want to forget.  getting an infection from not having a sterile field would not be a good thing.

 

I got my ears pierced at a store but I'm thinking I'd like to have a second ear piercing in each lobe.  probably won't do that any time soon however.

 

Rainy day.  We are getting the outer most rain bands from Eta as she travels north.  No longer a tropical storm but bringing us over three inches yesterday and today combined.

Had problems with my speech appointment. I was logged in She was logged in but didn't connect us.

 

Shots, they are a pain. Ha ha. Serious, I had to give myself shots of blood thinners when I had my blood clots. Thankfully it was a small needle and medicine wasn't thick. Now my blocker shots, It is a thick med and uses a large needle. That one I don't do myself, the nurse has to work it to get it to flow.

 

Things are OK. Brain is only at sub light right now. So nice an mellow.

 

Hugs

Hi, back from my session.  Pouring most of the day today.   
 

We are going shopping tomorrow.  I need needles for my sewing machine and I’m going to buy a Viking ankle for my Singer.  That will allow me to use some of the special feet that my wife has for her Viking machines. There is a very small difference between the machines because they are both owned by the same company.  
 

since I am sewing very heavy fabric I need very large needles and they are hard to come by, impossible locally.


Oh, needles, guess that’s the topic of the day.  Sorry. lol

good morning!

 

so whose staying in bed today? After all, it’s 2020 and Friday the thirteenth!  What a combination.  
 

Bad day to be a Templar.  I have a Sinclair in my family tree, but no Roshbechal’s as far as I know.
 

Historically a good day for me.

 

Be careful out there and be wary of Frenchmen with swords today.

Friday, Nov 13th was the day my family left Glasgow, Scotland to move to Canada, 56 years ago.  Not a bad day at all. :D

Good morning everyone,

 

Happy Friday. I'm off work today just like every Friday the 13th. I don't do it for any religious or superstitious reasons. It's just easy for me and my employer to remember.

 

I have a fun-filled day planned. I have to drive down to the city and pick-up new meds, get bloodwork and then training for the new meds.

Pretty much as soon as I get back we have another 5-6 houses to go see today. This house hunting thing is starting to get old.

 

Have a great day everyone.

So I might have to fire my chiropractor.

 

I was just in their office and, out of five people, one had no mask at all and two more (one an employee) wasn't wearing theirs correctly. I let the chiropractor know and I'm giving them one more chance because I like them, but I'm high risk and cannot be around that kind of thing right now.

 

Ugh. Venting. I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.

 

Hugs!

A lot of that around here too.

I was talking with my ex yesterday.  She said they were just doing everything like "normal" - going out to eat etc.

We're both seniors of course, and her boyfriend has serious heath issues on top of that.

People don't take it serious.

I hear your vent, and I raise you one aargh!  What is so hard to understand about this?  My electrologist has to follow strict rules, that are even stricter now with the pandemic.  She imposes strict rules on her clients.  Don't want to comply?  Fine, let your hair grow!  "No shirt, no shoes: no service" is now "No shirt, no shoes, no mask: no service".

 

I hope you are able to persuade your chiropractor to smarten up, or to find a better one.

Moi aussi!

Including a rather nice sword that I'm fond of, but I prefer my cutlass for most things - skill level in wielding it is a lower bar to achieve.

Hugs,

I have a big 'ol Scottish broadsword with some lovely Celtic knotwork on the blade. It's completely serviceable and combat-ready. Or would be if I every bothered to sharpen it. It's heavy as heck though so I could easily beat somebody to death with it if I had to. My skill level is basically, "She knows which end to hold." I'm a menace! ... there is no berserker emoji. This makes me sad. We'll have to go with...

In reality Friday the 13 has always been a good day for me as well.  I went on active duty Air Force, I received a promotion and a transfer I wanted, and I graduated from college.  
 

I am a Scot, my ancestors are some of the most celebrated in Scottish history going back to around the 800s. 

hopefully I can get this file loaded it is of an antique fighting knife.  As for the date they left Scotland for Prince Edward Island CA I don’t know.  I do know they traveled on the Curlew in 1818.

      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.

      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys.   I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team.  When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together.

      Grey short sleeved dress under a beige pinafore-type dress.  Black thigh highs (probably look like tights).  It was cool this morning so a light black colored sweater.

      People love bureaucracy.  It makes everything cut and dried, black and white, and often unjust, unmerciful, wasteful and downright stupid.
    • Ivy
      This is why a blanket policy can never be fair.  Everything is not black and white.

      Men's t shirt, women's jeans, hipster panties, flip-flops that could go either way.

      Common sense seems to be missing from a lot of these discussions.  In my Taylor story he is jumped brutally in a boys' bathroom his freshman year, something he is still trying to straighten out 8 years later and has a radical effect on his life.  Bullying can go either way. Transwomen in the prison system are happy to go to women's prisons, but I have heard that transmen stay in the womens' prison, because they would be killed in the mens' prison.   I am leery of blanket "every kid should...." statements and laws everywhere.  To echo a writer you may never heard of, Preston Sprinkle, you should work these things out with the child, and if necessary, with the parents, and communicate.  I don't think a child capable of penetration should sleep with girls on an overnight, or be in a girls' locker room.  Trans kids have limitations as a result of their condition, sort of like people in wheelchairs cannot go mountain climbing, but here is the social realm. Accommodate as you can, but there are limits.  The cisgender kids have rights.  I am not sure where to draw the line as to whose rights should win out.  Nor am I sure regulation imposed by a Legislature or a school board is the way to go.  We saw Louden.    I see no reason for an mtf who transitioned before puberty to not play girl sports, but a child who goes through male puberty has enormous physical advantages over the girls, and we are seeing girls injured.

      Years passed.  The kids grew up and they were empty-nesters.  Lois went full-time at her company.   "We have a Halloween party every year."  He had heard of that.    "You've upheld your end of our bargain for so very long.  How about - do you have something appropriate to wear in the female line?"   Did he.  She was dressed like a penguin, but he wore a women's skirted suit, dark hose, one-inch heels, gold jewelry, well-done makeup and a wig.   "I would not recognize you.  What's this?"   "Padding."    "If I didn't know better I would think you were just a rather tall businesswoman.  No one at the party knows you, no one is expecting a man in drag.  How about your voice and walk?"   He had obviously been practicing them.   The party was a blast.  Odie was happier than she had ever seen him, freer somehow, reveling in being feminine. Lois liked "her" as a charming friend.   "That was fun," he said, driving home.   "It is hard now to think you are a man," she said, and looked at him.   "To tell you the truth I had such a wonderful time I never want to wear men's clothing again. I will, because I must."   "I mean, you are convincing as a woman.  More than you are as a man."   "I think we need to get some professional help."   And they did.  Lois was determined to walk through this, as was Odie, and when he learned she was not walking out but working through, he was overjoyed.
