My neighbor lady  called me and said she needed help  cooking some cakes  for her church and she wanted to make a few for her family that is coming up for a visit on Thursday.

She doesn't drive so I didn't mind at all.

We had a great time cooking all afternoon. She is bad for taking selfies and I didn't realize she grabbed my phone and snapped a pic of me and never said a word .

I found the pic later after she had already went home.

I just noticed...we all look happy.  Isn't that something.

 

Once upon a not that long ago, I read a random comment from someone who was enjoying a transition timeline video. The part that stuck with me was, "I love looking at transition before and after. I love looking at the light in their eyes after they transition into their true selves."

I think there's a lot of truth to that. I know there's a certain animation to me now that was not present five years ago.

 

Hugs!

I believe that when we transition our inner peace finally comes out and takes the place of all the frustration we had been going through. It was one of the most happiest moments in my life.

This picture my wife took of me last summer, I had lost all my hair and was re-growing it. Loosing my hair was like loosing my identity, I was scared to go back out in public, but I survived.

I agree Linda Marie.

Some of us change so much even people we used to run into now and then don't recognize us.

Thats OK with me because I don't want to remember some of them.LOLOL

This would be very hard for me to get through. @Linda Marie, you’re obviously a very strong woman to be able to get through that kind of difficulty. Hair issues of any kind are so hard for me.

 

Early in my transition, a few days before a big family reunion to meet everyone as Susan, I went into a deep depression from simply experiencing a horrific haircut/style on my first salon visit. I’m glad you were able to get past your hair debacle successfully.

 

You look wonderful and I love your dress.

My wife told me, it is not how we look on the out side, it is how we look on the inside.

Very true, however, as people keep misgendering me, it crushes my inside and it becomes harder to remember the truth. BTW, as Susan said, your a strong woman.  I'm not sure what I would do if I lost my hair. It has been such an integral part of my identity my entire life.

Had to run out to the store.  It was kinda chilly and the sweater felt good.

I played Easter bunny and handed out candy at work. The basket is actually on my desk year round but wanted to make today special.

Today I went with this, as far as my hair, it is coming along nicely. I want all here to know I shaved it off. I was faced with a battle

with the gov. and insurance company, they would not listen to a trans so I shaved my head and finally won the battle.

Yeah, I fell 20 feet and crushed my chest, I wasn't expected to live but I did, that pissed them off, and they refused to pay

a -transgender-, $100,000. I was faced with losing my house and went to war with them as David, and 2 years later I finally won.

As far as the money, all I did was pay the hospital bill off with it, and went back to being me and I retired. 

I still have my federal insurance for life, and pension, all because I shaved my head and showed them I am not a push over.

Well done  and I am glad it turned out in your favor.

I tried to get SSDI because my condition made me unable to do my job of 40 years but I got nowhere even with a good attorney.

I got out of the house to walk my dogs. I'm no beauty queen, but I did learn to smile again.

As far as battling for your rights concerning money, never give up. 

Hugs,

I got out for a while today hoping to find some  clothing bargains.

Found some nice items but none that I just had to have.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.
