Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus. It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down. If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two. My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it. As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system. -

If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail. If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options! -

Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation. It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen. It was actually Step 1 of many to follow. I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care. And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so. Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today. But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode. The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again. No going back ... at this point. -

Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes. They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also. fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone. I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting. I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down. Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress. I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings -

I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol -

Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that. Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends. It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being. I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time -

It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus. McAfee is really tough to get rid of. I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed. Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time. As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions. Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use. As in...click the button! -

Divorce sux. My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away. I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years. My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time. I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely? I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal. I told my husband and other partners the same thing. Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it. I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes. I'm pretty sure I'm safe here. -

Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next. *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe. -

Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome. Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake. I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S. I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile. Moderators? Any ideas? I met with my therapist today. She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support. I'll be checking in from time to time :) -

It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible... Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine... I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol... I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like. So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.
