Your hair looks fabulous, Toni!  You have a lovely new profile picture, too.  Sounds like a great day!  I agree about getting one's hair washed by another - it feels so relaxing to just let go and be cared for.  I'd do the salon more often if I could afford it (also, I can never quite recreate what the stylists can do with apparent ease).

Lol! Yeah, I'm pretty low maintenance and have a tight budget. But wish I could do the salon and spa regular... 

Thanks hun ?

@ToniTone just noticed the new look.  Very nice and the hair style/makeup work really nice together.  Keep doing whatever you’re doing!

 

My Best,

Susan R?

I also started creating stuff again. For the past ten years, I haven't really made any art or anything, just got wasted and destroyed stuff. Toxic masculinity I suppose. 

 

I started a music project called Toxic Femininity. I'm hoping to get more fems involved but for now it's a lazy solo project. Edm witch house with a punk rock edginess. I want to take power away from bigotry with this play on words. 

 

I've been drawing, writing poetry and started working on jewelry and accessories again too! It feels good to create again, rather than just destroy.

Drawing, writing poetry, and not just destroying, eh? Have you been reading my mail. . .hahahahhaaaa!!! Thanx so for letting us in!

11 months transitioning on hrt (as of two days ago)! I don't really have much to say this month except... 

 

My breasts are the most sore they've been yet! They don't really hurt on the regular. But if I bump something, even brush them slightly, it sends me flying. Solid A-cup, firm tissue and still growing! Exciting times still!

 

Anyway, I have to get ready for work, long work week. Have a good day lovely's ?

I haven't posted about this yet, but something amazing and wonderful happened a few weeks ago. 

 

I was up in my dimly lit attic level corridor, walking to the stairwell to get down to the kitchen. Out the window at the end of the corridor is a window overlooking the back alley, the sky dark with the subtle twilight sunset glow.

 

My reflection in the window in this moment was just a vague silhouette of me. But what I saw was the form of a woman. It was mesmerising because normally I'm repelled by my own reflection. I dunno, it's such a simple joy, but it was kinda a magical moment for me. 

 

I've also been taking more selfies, and I'm starting to see the woman that is me become. I feel prettier now than I did at the beginning of all this.

Hi, Toni.  Those serendipitous feminine reflections are pure gold.  You never know when it is going to happen, but enjoy it when it does.  No doubt, those hormones are doing their stuff!

Hi Toni! It is always magic moments for me to see feminine reflected back! Even when I have doubts,  I can realize how seeing confirming traits makes me happy.  It's who I am.

That sounds like an absolutely magical moment, Toni.  I'm glad you were able to experience it.  I am more often seeing the real me, and it's wonderful, is it not?

IT'S MY 1 YEAR TRANSITIONING/BEING OUT ANNIVERSARY!!!

 

The year just seemed to fly by! And yet alot has happened, and I have come a long way from where I was a year ago. 

 

I'm so much more happy with myself than I was back then. I can't believe it's been a year already. But the hrt is still working it's magic. This is still very fresh and exciting for me! 

 

I'll come back to this post later today and elaborate more on my retrospective. Outside of this I'm very stressed today, the state of the world right now is giving me anxiety. Plus my roomies and I have to get the house ready bc we might have another girl moving into our already at capacity house, and I'm trying to arrange maybe moving out myself. I'm so stressed right now, anyway... 

 

Thank you everyone here at TP for supporting and being there for me throughout this year. Here's to many more, love y'all ??

As the old Virginia Slims ads used to say, "You've come a long way, baby!" By the way, I love that top!

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
