I hope to have some extra time in the air conditioned house as the July heat builds.  In just a bit i'll climb on the tractor and move a well composted manure pile.  It is just lovely earth at this point.  Funny how i still look at some of the farm chores as fun even though it isn't officially "just for me".  There is enough little boy left in me to enjoy the "sand box".  

I guess the well deserved shower and nice cool outfit in the evening for dinner is fun and a self indulgence.

 

Hugs,

Today, I am enjoying working on an audio recording platform I've recently acquired. Practicing recording Bass guitar tracks, editing and learning new things. I will probably teach myself a new song today as well. I try and learn a new song every few weeks, to stay active, I like to get lost in music, it's a great past time for me. I have yard work and property maintenance to do for a few hours, but later tonight our youngest daughter is coming over for a visit, so it will be some family time tonight for us and looking forward to it.

 

Cheers and have a great weekend all....

Charlize - I didn't realize I had had violated rule 11 in a response but if you have seen it I apologize and meant no harm - it was a pun on manure but to be honest I have a daughter who works with horses and I do actually like cleaning stables - so I am totally with you... I love to cut grass because it lets...in the words of the Paul McCartney Beatles song Fixing a Hole...."my mind wanderwhere it will go" have a GREAT and JOYOUS weekend....

Today I plan to have a very good manicure by myself and cut my nails because yesterday, I had a boo boo while washing "the downstairs" with these brute finger nails of mine.

Well, not so much fun but it will help clean out the garage.  Its way too hot here today for me to be outside.  So I took a ton of photos and posted quite a few items on craigslist.  I have sold one item so far!  I'm hoping for the best.  

 

No Saturdays were wasted in this activity.  They are all Saturday to me!

Cleaning the shower and watching some baseball.  That is NOT the order of preference.

TOO hot here as well. I collected comic books in the 1960s and 1970s and kept them. I'm selling them on ebay and saving a pretty decent return to help pay for my future surgeries and medical needs as I move forward to bringing the child inside finally into the light of day and hopefully it won't be too hot for her.

Good for you sweet Shay, keep saving, you will need the money for the breast augmentation. If I am wrong, in America is somewhere seven thousand dollars.

 

Remember what I have told you dear, you are achieving the impossible!

That's about what I'm getting from my surgery link. I don't think it covers the hospital fees though. Bottom surgery (with fees) cost me twenty-five thousand or so.

 

On the other hand, you don't know if you're going to need breast augmentation yet @Shay. That's a long way off yet and you might be one of the lucky ones. Fingers crossed!

 

Hugs!

step by step.. with you to help it is getting easier... I know I need to wait at least a hrt (well a year minus 6 doays) and we'll see what the HRT does - can't wait for the mental peace - it already seems more pleasant in here ?

You should really wait until three years plus GCS (if that's the plan) on HRT before you do your breasts. We frequently get a growth spurt after GCS. You don't want to have to get your implants re-done because your natural breasts are coming in.

We're striving for something that sound affirming and less scary while still being appropriate.

maybe it should be gas...gender affirming surgery....

  • Forum Moderator

While I like the "affirming" part, I don't know if GAS surgery would ever catch on. "I'm going to the hospital to get my GAS," has unfortunate connotations. Then again, it accurately describes my experience for after the surgery while my GI tract came online. Those were some pretty debilitating cramps. Easily worse pain than the surgical site. Ow.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
