I’m finally able to wear a thong the way a thing should be worn. Well, at least the way I think they should be worn. 

Before I couldn’t pull up the thong all the way up, both in the front and the rear. So it kinda looked, pardon the expression, “half assed.” Pun intended perhaps ?. Now I can pull it all the way up, and I also feel as my ass is filling in a bit more, I kinda noticed that a bit last night, ?. Oooo and squuueeee for my ass, I love my legs and I used to have a much better ass a bit ago when I used to run a bit more. It’s kinda funny tho, I keep looking and checking how it looks and feels the way it should. ???

I had my two week post-op check up and that was that. Crazy how time flies. 

Having a dream come true is an amazing feeling. I have been floating on air since the 6th and I think I’m going to keep floating. Never again will I have those things attached to me, and for that I will always be grateful!

While San Diego is in a June Gloom mood, I am in a Springly Tingly mood! Everyday that goes by after having my Orchiectomy, I feel wonderful! Yes, there is one thing left to do down there, Not having those two things there makes a world of difference. No matter what position, they remind you of their presence, gravity reminded me too. But now that it is pretty much fully healed there, 2 weeks later, i can move or not move and I do not feel them, no ghost feeling nothing. Without too much TMI, I had a simple itch, and I laughed cause while I was reaching up my skirt to scratch, my hand had to keep moving up, from where i would normally have already been scratching. ?

I can now pull my shorts up a lot higher than before. My 5" seamed shorts show off a lot more leg now. I think I will try on some clingy dresses that I have put to the side, and some cute mini skirts too. 

Sitting and standing with my legs closer together is definitely a plus! Nothing in the way, and it helps with walking, I dont need to walk around those things. Yes, I meant walk around, and in they got in the way while walking, even standing. No more, ty. 

After being on HRT and now the Orchie, that area is showing less and less, which is great, cause I want to wear a skirt at Pride next month, and things can show while walking into the wind, if you know what I mean. Im not talking about a gust of wind, lol. The only "bumps" i want to show are on my chest and my buns. Speaking of bumps, My nipples are getting bigger and are usually at full attention. Love it!

The growth of hair on my legs and body are slowing down a lot, especially on my legs.

My friend and I have noticed some mood changes, I have chilled a lot. Now that the T is gone, I can really feel that change, for the better, for sure. I tend to cry and get  a bit  "verklempt" as Mike Myers character would say on SNL's  "Coffee Talk with Linda Richman" , and I embrace it!

I recently had a visit with my Gender therapist, and discussed my progress and Orchie. I always enjoy our talks. I wish I could see her on a monthly basis, but she is needed more by others, and I’m willing to wait every three months or so. I’m sure if I asked or needed it, she would schedule me, ?

That’s a very long time between visits for sure. I see my therapist every 2-3 weeks. I’d be pretty lost without my visits. She helps me with so many things. Oddly it’s mostly things that aren’t part of my mental health, but physical health and finding services. Although we do talk a bit of transition as well. But my doctor, endo, electrologist, and now even gcs and ffs doctors have all been set up with her help. Heck even my wife sees her once a month now as well. What a great ally a gender therapist can be. I’m glad that you have had a good relationship with yours as well. After a lot of awful therapists I know how important it is to find the right one.

Hi Elllora,

Its very nice of you to be considerate of others.  Its so hard to see good therapists.  They are hard to find and when you do, they are booked out for months...

Two months ago June 6, I had my Orchiectomy. I’ve been waiting for that moment 49 of of my 53 year old self. That was the next best decision I made after starting my Lady Meds ?. Speaking of, Next week August 12th will mark my 5th month anniversary for starting my Lady Meds. I can’t wait for my 6 month mark, so I can get my 6 month blood draw. I’m very curious  to see the comparison to my 3 month numbers ?. Especially cause I am T free now. ?

Thanks for posting Ellora.  Leaving those bothersome bits behind has helped me a great deal as well.  Funny how the itching persisted.  I wasn't sure if there was an itch or simply a desire to be certain they hadn't come back.  Enjoy the new freedom.  Hope the new numbers are great!

 

Hugs,

Thank you!! You really should if you haven’t had one yet. It is super easy and fast healing compared to the full bottom surgery being done. I had a blood draw 5 days later, for my primary doctor visit, and was T free! Not only that, but my arm pit odor was totally gone too. I haven’t worn armpit deodorant since. Other than my own nose, I have my friend to vouch for me too. It’s weird, but great! I don’t smell like a man anymore, which also helps with my GD. I also don’t have to worry about sitting on those dam things, getting kicked, the sweat, never have to see them with or without clothes. Speaking of clothes, shorts, pants and thongs fit soooo much better. 

Health wise, I don’t have to worry about testicular cancer. Oh and my blood pressure has never been better! It has been consistently in the 114/70 range and that feels great. It was getting a little high for a while,  but not anymore! 

My temper has changed drastically too not having T anymore. I don’t get upset like I used to, and I know a little might have to do with less GD, but i think most of that came from the T. My sex drive isn’t as driven by T. My sex drive has come back, but I’m in control of it not the T. I don’t feel that sex is necessary to have all the time, or even at all. That doesn’t bother me, cause it feels better to be in control of myself. 

Also not taking Spiro anymore is great for my body too.

You should definitely look into getting an Orchie if you haven’t gotten one yet.

I have had all of that same stuff happen with only hrt. I haven’t had an orchie myself simply because I plan on full gcs hopefully within the next 18 months. And I have been told keeping all that stuff makes the surgery easier. (Think that depends on the surgeon)  But wish I could have one tho. I’d love to be rid of my t for good. 

I do love that underwear fits so much better tho! My ol boys now reside in my body 95% of the time from the hrt. They just end up heading north. ??‍♀️  

Congrats on 5 months!! Almost 1/2 a year already!!

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
