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.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      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.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      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
    • RaineOnYourParade
      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!
