Not sure why you posted this, but I wouldn’t worry too much about anyone else. Opinions and a-holes really. Plenty of people tell me I’m crazy, weird, annoying, opinionated, etc etc etc.  it used to get to me. No more though. I just say my piece and slide on down the road. 

Your road to this point has been one of insanity honestly. It’s opened my mind to how hard some people have to work just to survive. Don’t let anyone take all of your hard work away from you. But don’t live in it either. 70% of the world lives in the past. 20% live in the future. That leaves 10% that are here now. Staggering really. 10%!! Live for now! Love yourself. Take what you need from your past and push yourself to care about now!! 

Ps there’s nothing wrong with being a class A B!!

Thanks, @Kirsten! Your words mean a lot.

 

I guess my Psychiatrist sparked a few inner concepts I hadn't considered.

 

Looks like FFS is going to head the roster. If insurance will approve then I'll be scheduled.

 

I have maybe 25% of my facial hair removed so far. I wish they would allow more than one treatment per week. A postage stamp area per week is not very much and increases my dysphoria every trip. Public transportation. Never pleasant.

 

It takes awhile to complete total removal. I know that; however, stretching it out so long is tearing me apart mentally. I'm making irrational decisions and dumb mistakes! I got a jaywalking ticket again!

Thanks @Ellora!

 

First, I promised myself I would lose the wigs once I was approved for Feminizing surgeries. Done!

 

Second promise is, I will continue shave my head until day of the first surgery. That will be the last day I shave...

 

Here is my most rescent pic taken yesterday!

A brief update...

 

I start groin electrolysis in two weeks. After 5 treatments I see my Surgeon and either set date for vaginoplasty or more electrolysis. I don't have much hair down there anyway so I don't anticipate long.

 

My facial hair is much thinner now growing slower every week... Electrolysis is working!

 

HRT now at 18 months plus.

 

Slow but sure!

 

I now understand the meaning of...

...squeeeeee!

You looked good in that earlier photo.  All my best for your electrolysis treatments.  Fun, I'm sure!  (NOT).  

Yes it is all exciting.  Time will fly through.

 

Cheers, Jani

You look great gal.  I know that look of bald and beautiful quite well but rarely am without my wig.  I have actually gotten used to it over the years but i'm also finding i can accept and smile at the bald head i see at night.  

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

That's great on the hair removal! The one doctor we have in this state requires you to have had electrolysis for a fripping year before he'll perform SRS. Even for someone like me with alopecia... which I am incredibly sensitive about. Though I did have a girlfriend tell me today, "Why did you cover up that beautiful bald head?"

 

Fortunately, I found a doctor who destroys the follicles as part of her procedure. Otherwise that would have been a terrible roadblock.

 

I'm jealous of you both (Michelle and Charlize). I'm nowhere near that confident. I'll stick with my wigs and my headscarf thank you very much. Especially the headscarf. While I'm at the gym, I'm Queen of the Pirates!

My friends all told me to sport the wig. Embrace it. Feel your new found youth...

 

Wooohooo....!

Pow!

Looking good girl!   Once i found a tile i liked i am rarely without mine except at night or when doing heavy work on a hot day by myself.  While i and my wife are comfortable with seeing me without a wig i do not present myself to the world as a chemo patient.  

It took me time to find comfortable in a wig but the years have made that issue disappear.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

You look absolutely incredible, Michelle!  Keep doing what you're doing because it's obviously working for you very well.

 

Thanks for sharing your pics with us,

Susan R?

I have to admit, the only time leave without my wig is when I'm going to get a new one or I have some med/Surg appt...

 

Late I have felt really, really girly...

 

I mean totally squirmy, girly. I would have been wet and slickery as two frogs in a lily pond...!

 

I told my doc that and he said, "your referral was approved." Then he ordered my orchiectomy, penilectomy and vaginaplasty beginning with full body hair removal laser and electrolysis beginning Tuesday.

 

OMG I am Soooo excited?????

There's quite a change there! Are you sure it's the same person ?

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

      This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone.  It is a no-brainer.

      OMG.  I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly.  Lots of blood can be scary.

      Like I said, I'm no tankie, but I do see a world of difference between Joseph Stalin and Bernie Sanders.   If the point is not wanting 'government control' the Right is pretty good at that themselves - as they've been demonstrating lately. This stuff gets complicated.

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      Isaac Asimov, Albert Einstein and Robert Kennedy, in that order.

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!
    • Ashley0616
      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!

      Congratulations Sam,   The common saying her once someone starts HRT is: “Enjoy the ride.”   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.
