Hello from California...

Hi folks,

 

After more than a half dozen posts, I realized I hadn't yet posted an introduction - doh! ?

 

My name is Melanie Jean (friends call me 'MJ'), and I'm a trans woman from Southern California. ?

 

I've been living as my preferred gender full-time since January 2018, and then HRT since April 2018. I was married 26 years (before my ex and I went our separate ways), have a grown child, have a boat load of cats (yeah, the crazy cat lady me), and live in the house once owned by my great grandparents. I have a new partner (who's trans male, btw), and we're currently planning a new life together. I have many interests including model trains, dirt bikes, gardening and a host of other things to keep me occupied. ?

 

I wish to thank the site admins and their volunteers for creating what I see to be a safe and awesome place!

 

Here's me, my cousin and her hubby out for lunch in a nearby bistro...

Hugs, peace and much love,

MJ

      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.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @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.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      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?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.

      Thank you!

      sound  nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching..   how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan?   hugs

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.
