Thanks. Today is better, but now the stress of yesterday has caused her pancreas to flare up. ?

Probably end up at hospital today.

So sorry to hear about your turn. This will probably sound like an idiotic cliche, but try not to worry. It does more harm than good. But you already know that! Anyway look for little things that bring peace of mind.

Well, the weather has me up tonight.  I got some sleep, but now it’s pretty bad out there.  Wind clocking 30 plus.  Gusts higher.  Steady rain.  Generally the boat is dealing with it ok.  I don’t know if any loose items are moving or blown into the water.  I also don’t know if my enclosure is surviving.  
 

I found a tiny water leak.  More like a place the water is blowing in past 5he gasket on a hatch.  It does rock when a wind gust hits if, but my lines are secure.  
 

@RhondaS congratulations on the waitress referring to you as ladies.  That really helps make your day.  Also that your Wife was okay with it.

I've been out with my wife on many occasions and loved it when we were called ladies,  and even had men call me mam.

It is a wonderful feeling.

As far as the 1 year march to freedom, well, I'm out of that march now so I have no comment on that one.

I am how ever marching to the beat of another drum. 

Oh yeah, the one year march, If I was still in that march and my counselor denied me because I showed up one day in blue jeans, flannel shirt and work boots I would point out my wife in blue jeans, flannel shirt and boots and ask, are you telling me she is not a woman also?

High tide. Road is flooded, parking lot is flooded, that will continue until the off shore storm moves out and the king tide ends.  Still windy today but not nearly as bad as it had been.

 

even though I’m just sitting on the boat I did my makeup today.  If nothing else, practice.

 

one more thing to do on my engine before I try to start it.  I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.  I won’t run it more than a few minutes the first time. Then reinspect everything.  If all is good, I’ll do it again with a longer running time.  There is a lot of things that can go wrong with a marine Diesel engine.  I already lost one to oil issues, I can’t afford to lose another.

 

cooling water pump drawing water

exhaust expelling water

coolant 

oil

trans oil

fuel

exhaust leaks

 

Everything has to be primed, nothing can be run dry.  I have cooling water into the strainer

i have fuel to the water separator first filter. But that’s not enough, I have to get it to the lift pump and then the injection pump.  
 

batteries are all charged

 guess we will soon see what needs tweaking.

Wow, all that for a boat? The Skipper would of told Gilligan we don't need to do all of that...

A TV show, a guy who could make a nuclear reactor out of a pair of coconuts, a pair of hotties and an island retreat, just for them. Also occasional celebrity guests. There are worse fates.

The thing is I don’t want to end up on a secluded island with a ruined boat.  Hence I’m taking it slow and crossing my Ts and dotting my Is.

 

oh and the first test was a fail. Apparently a wire to the control panel isn’t right.  No power back to the starter solenoid.  Hmm.  Logically, no power/blown fuse, wire misconnected or not connected.

Why does this make me want to laugh?  I feel like it shouldn't, like it's really serious, but it feels like an in-joke that only we would get...

 

If only I had trans oil, everything in my life would run much more smoothly!

Picked up another pair of shoes at Meijer (bless them and Wally for consistently having larger women's sizes in stock) in the perpetual search for the perfect pair of cute, everyday shoes (that aren't tennies) and this particular brand the box explicitly says "Shoes Made For Women".

To further emphasize the point, the logo was in pink and the shoes inside had pink trim. 

 

So that pretty much settles it. They fit me perfect, so obviously:

I am a woman!

Yay!

 

I think this will be helpful in the future if/when I may be interrogated to prove my gender.

I love this. There is a Meijer about 30 miles from here. I will have to check them out. I wear size 12 in women's shoes. Thanks for the tip ?

I could use some of that. Things are much better today. Thanks for your support ladies and gentlemen.

Today I received three bras I ordered from Pepper. I’ve been wearing Sports Bras for the past year and these are the first “proper” bras I’ve had. The quality seems pretty good and their sizing/fitting guidelines are dead on. My girls are happy ?

Yesterday I got a sports bra to do guy mode better and putting it on makes me want to do guy mode even less (before anyone asks, it's for in person work that's still sporadic and distanced)

I shop at a Meijer all the time. I have looked at their shoes and clothing more then once but have concerns (although I know women's clothing isn't known for it's durability) about the quality.

Good morning 

 

sun is out, wind has died down, but it’s cold for here, 41!

 

ok jokes on me!  I’m glad I got a happy time movement.  But next time I will call it by its actual type name, ATF.  Now figure out how that works into a joke about us and I’ll congratulate you and ask if you were ever a comedian.

 

got a long email from my son yesterday.  It took me three emails back to answer all his questions.  I intentionally broke it up.  We will see what I get back if anything.  I kind of laid the whole thing out pretty detailed about me having gender dysphoria and there’s nothing I can do about it.  I told him things that here to fore, only my therapist knew, not even my wife knows.  The Only family member that has disowned me is my daughter but that wasn’t over being transgender.

 

well the hospital just sent me a pre-registration request so I best get to it.

 

Hugs

Good Morning all. Hope you ladies are all well. 

Another night of below freezing temps but considering time of year it is to be expected sooner or later.

I don't post too often but too many positive things have been happening I want to share with someone.

 

Met with my endocrinologist and came away with my prescription to start Estradiol patches. I have been on Spiro for 8 months so T was well down. October 21st Joni was born with her first dose. ?

I started on October 25th, full facial laser treatment to rid myself of any dark hairs remaining, which proved out by techs estimate to be 65- 70 of the facial hair. Lot more than I suspected. She estimates 6 - 1 hour treatments to rid all remaining in all growth stages.

This past Friday, Nov. 5th, I submitted to Provincial Vital Statistics paper work to have my name and gender changed as well as receive a NEW birth certificate. This will allow me to further change name and gender to all other Government agencies - Medicare, Motor Vehicle, etc.. as well as  all other institutions as needed. 

 

Can you say Over the Moon Happy.

 

Have a Great Day all.

Great Big Canadian Hug to All

 

Joni Steph

Ooh, I'm going in for an honest-to-Goddess fitting today. I had a friend turn me onto a good place the next town over. Wish me luck!

Yes you are right, not much cotton in clothing or leather in shoes for sure. 

 

@Jamie68And to clarify, I usually wear a women's 10, and the largest I have seen in these stores are 11.

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
