Hi Ivy, I can relate to that holding my pencil in my left hand although I'm right-handed. -

So I am two months into E therapy as of this week. What can I say? I am now a busty blond supermodel who doesn't look a day over 25. This stuff is amazing! OK, so I exaggerate, lol ... Seriously, the effects have been subtle so far. I would say very slight "plumping" in the chest region. More pronounced feelings at times (especially anger, which I don't necessarily like). The downstairs feels ... different... I can tell something is going on to affect that region. Things come and go. I do feel overall ... different. Still dealing with fatigue though not as much as last week... Back story: I had treatment for head and neck cancer 20 years ago. One surgery removed a tumor in my lymph nodes. They took out a whole bunch of stuff from my neck that was anywhere close to the tumor, including part of my shoulder muscle on the left side. Since then, my shoulders are lopsided and things (i.e. my chest) tend to sag on that side. I have long joked that I had a "uni-boob". Well, maybe the other side is going to catch up a little? Right now, I wouldn't pass for female upstairs except for the uni-boob (and the fact that I keep everything shaved). I nearly quit HRT last week. I have been pretty discouraged overall with my life, career, relationships, direction. I feel pretty rudderless at times, and nothing seems to be going anywhere. For a day, I just felt like HRT was going to add to the misery: who is going to want a "man with boobs" (I still really crave the affections of a female, which is why a lot of this is very confusing). But those feelings seemed to have passed or at least are on simmer... For now I will keep going. I just don't think I can ever give up wanting to dress female or desiring to have a more feminine body shape. Where that leads, who the heck knows... What a strange life this is turning out to be ... -

I've been feeling for decades about how completely awful the bathroom situation is in America. We have these portable restrooms all over the place in the cities with people coming to empty them but there is a sewer right underneath them. When I lived on the streets, at night if I had to go, I often walked 12 blocks to a portable restroom only to find that it is locked and then I would scour the city for a 20oz coke bottle to pee in. It was sad when society had to fight stupid people making restrooms in parks unsafe. It seems like things were better in the 70's. -

Totally. Coffee is too expensive this morning, but last month I hunted down some nice ginger and had that stored well in the meat drawer of my fridge that I don't use for meat. Made a nice pot of ginger tea and played piano while it was boiling. D-7 Bbmaj7 G-7 Bbmaj7 A7#9 repeat the cycle Cmaj Emin Amin G F C/E (or is it E-?) D (lydian!) G Fun stuff. The Navy had me playing Jamiroquai's High Times on bass around South America. Fun bass line on a 5 string bass! I played it for the first time in 25 years the other day. Sure was fun! Not too into the lyrics. Jay Kay is wonderfully melodic though. Put on Allentown, sitting at my computer. Someone has to do this work. I can't really afford it, but I need a battery for my watch with hands. I'm likely going to ride the bus there because I'm working on healing my feet. I hate the bus, but this guy at that store can replace the battery in 20 seconds. I'm lost without my watch. My stupid clock in the kitchen went on "power saver" mode and the clock goes to sleep. Not a good way to cook. I use my watch for all kinds of things though. I've got my old men's Timex on the ear of the stained glass owl in the entry. It has a dead bat too. -

I wonder about this sometimes. If it were so, they would be in their 50's by now. It's not impossible. Guess I'm a girl with a past. -

Just a casserole with macaroni and leftover hamburger. It will last me a couple of days or more. I frequently use my wok, but in the kitchen. -

I must be missing something here. Coins and pentangles do interchange. And Bird is the word. But all I know about coders is the socks. -

Funny thing. When I went to school I was writing with my right hand (I'm right handed) but holding the pencil like a left handed person. They made me change that, and to be sure it was better for me. Of course my handwriting is still barely legible. It's just a curious thing. I'm a kinda mixed up person. -

Bathroom usage law based on chromosomes is quite irrational. Just within the intersex community there are quite a few problems with it with those that have full or partial androgen insensitivity. For instance, I have XY chromosomes but also have a uterus and fallopian tubes. My breasts are real and I have had them since puberty. I was also born without a penis to speak of, but I do have testes. I don't look like the average guy, and much less now that I don't hide my DDD's behind baggy layered clothes. Physically I am much more female than male, but my birth certificate and chromosomes say something else. I most definitely don't fit in the men's room. Last time I tried everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me until I left. I have used the family restroom in public ever since (all gender). The Texas law basically leaves only one choice for intersex individuals. Family restroom or pee your pants. 🙄 -

I had a similar experience. My father, doing geneological research, googled the name of the tiny hamlet in Scotland where his family came from. He was surprised to find a request from someone in Australia wanting to find his birth mother. The mother was named as my father's sister, from that same tiny hamlet. There was no possibility of mistaken identity: there could not be two people of that name in such a small place. The family knew that my aunt had had a child out of wedlock, but no one had kept track of the child. And of course, the times being what they were, knowledge of the event was kept on a need-to-know basis. My father contacted the person in Australia. He gained a nephew and I gained a cousin that I never knew I had. We kept in touch until my cousin passed away a few years ago. I am still in occasional contact with his widow. -

I can relate to that, I started my oral estrogen back in 2017.. less than 6 months I was wearing jeans size 40, then afterward my hips started to curve so I can fit a jeans size 12 or 14.. my treating doctors suggested for me to take before and after pictures and show it to them during my next doctor's appointment.
