Good morning, everyone!

Just wearing a T-shirt and my ninja turtles sleep pants! Finally off from school for a couple of days until Fall Semester starts next week. Lounging wear is a must! 💻 ☕

Continuing to channel the Floridian real estate agent look. lol.  I will throw some white sandals on when I head out.  The jacket got a little washed out and you can't see the detail of the pattern so I took a close up for that.

It's kinda sureel isn't it. It's just a piece of paper but just having that makes one feel seen.

It most certainly is. Walk a little taller, maybe even try to smile nice every few days.

The last few days have been a little mind blowing.  I was a guest on a "relationship podcast" along with my former spouse.  She wanted to interview us because we represented a different approach to divorce and have managed to stay close to each other on a deep friendship level.  A friend of ours is an author and speaker /coach on late life dating after divorce.  We thought it would focus on how we are now but the questions kept steering back to how we managed our relationship and feelings when I came out and starting of my transition.  It brought up some stuff obviously but it wasn't to hard. My former spouse was upset afterwards because the focus shifted to me and my transition.  Quote " It's always about the transition now matter where we go".  She's right of course.  We both thought this was going to shine a light on her side of the relationship.  It made us both realize that she does have some resentment toward the attention my transition gets. 

I'm hoping that fewer and fewer people will be focusing on that moving forward.  I've noticed lately that, dare I say it, I mostly pass?  My ffs has definitely made a difference in how I'm perceived and addressed.  I don't get misgendered anymore!  Thank the goddess.  It was getting more and more painful every time I was being misgendered. The frustration of doing all these things to feminize myself with no apparent results out in the world.  I guess the message there is "Be Patient".  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for transitioning. There are so many days lately where I just wake up so exhausted from this process. 46 more days until my bottom surg.  I'm freaking excited but also freaking out about it.  I've never really had anxiety about a surgery before, I had complete faith that things would work out. However, none of those surgeries were life altering like this one and I have no idea what to expect for recovery and whether things will work as advertised.   Sorry for the rambling on here, I'm in a reflective place apparently.

Bri I found if the conversation turns to your transition its up to us to steer the point of the conversation back to where it was supposed to go.

As much as we may like the attention try not to make it all about us.

My ex and I did a local interview and I had to keep the host on point.

She was honestly curious about me more than my ex and how she felt so I had to bring the conversation back on point.

Morning, friends! Wearing a much-loved band T-shirt and some shorts made from pants. 

Can't wait for summer to be over so I can go back to wearing layers and being comfortable. I do not like showing off much skin due to self-image issues and the only time I do so is when it is too hot. (I hate summer.)

Link to comment

I'm not to comfy showing a lot of skin because of being fat but sometimes if its really hot out I have to to stay cool.

I love short tops, or crop top Ts on other people but not on me so much.

Tank tops  and camisole tops just roll up if I pull them down  which is so annoying.

Since I have started looking for starter bras now, I was trying on my bralettes/sports bras and realized how affirming they were and after seeing other women wearing sportsbras out all summer, I felt it was my time too and paired with my Old Navy black joggers. So I took a aerobic walk at one of our State Parks then stopped in a local fusion place to get dinner after. Only thing is these types of bras squish what little I have going to begin with. It looks like my top is going to take some time just to get something modest. But it boosted my confidence and felt great. 20220811_144340.thumb.jpg.0533e03f87a10e96da0720e39c91cec5.jpg

You're looking good. I have a couple of sports bras, but have only worn them outside under a tank top. I feel very confident about being in public all the time. I don't like dressing male - feels embarrassing. Kinda flipped the table from a year ago. Anyway, I have to give in to the no-tank sports bra look while the weather is still too warm.

You look great Stevie.  I wouldn't worry about size.  All women are built differently.

 

Hugs,

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
    • missyjo
      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
