My experience is very similar to yours, Sally. When I first started to socially transition I thought 'blending in' was the best approach. It did not work AT ... ALL. I was misgendered so often. So now I try to feminize as much as my wardrobe (and time) allows. For 'girls' my age I believe I am far more fashionable than other women. So, lately I have been much more successful at 'passing'. But also like you, I am not really trying to fool people. I expect they assume I am Trans and I just hope they respect my femininity and my humanity. -

Actually, they did back at the times of the AIDS pandemic in the 80's. Some of my slightly older than I am Gay friends were beaten up and thrown out of gender correct restrooms back then. -

I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs. LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example. That is T only, and only some T at that. -

When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background. -

GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.' -

Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well! -

Hi @KathyLauren no worries! I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest. Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces. -

Oops. Sorry, @AmandaJoy, I see you have already posted an introduction. -

Hi, @AmandaJoy. Welcome to Trans Pulse. Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you. We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum. ----- I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s. I did my degree in Computer Science. After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years. I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming. I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory. -

WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes. 1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that! 3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time. 4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently). 5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month. And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums). So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good! -

Hi Thea! Professional coder since ‘90, hobbyist since ‘83. C/C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Python, Ada, COBOL, Fortran, various flavors of BASIC. Love C, but it’s mostly been about Python recently. -
