@Davie I like Rainer Maria Rilke and his name. Wow what powerful words. Thank you.

That reminds me of some weirdness from the other day:

 

So I guess two women were talking about me in the pool area as there was, "A man in the women's locker room." Drat. I guess I don't pass as well as I thought. I mean it's not like I was naked or anything, but whatever. Tragically, they said it within earshot of my friend Brenda who went right off and complained to the staff because she was RIGHTEOUSLY pissed off. Which is funny to think about, because she's 67 and all of 5' 2".

Anyway, the staff member in question, who is also a friend, went and explained to them that, "She's full transitioned. She got harassed in the men's room and she used the unisex bathroom until after her surgery. She has every right to be there. If it bothers you, go get changed in a bathroom stall or the shower area."

So far so good. But while the staff member in question (Ann) was relaying the story, she reached out to touch me. Stopped for a second with her hand on my arm and stroked me a couple of times. Then said, "You're so soft!" and went back to stroking my arm for a couple seconds.

Guess which part of that stuck with me?

I have amazing friends and cis people are weird. I mean really. Who pets trans girls?

 

Hugs!

I guess Ann wanted to find out what a "real" transwoman felt like?

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
