Spring is Coming - What do you look forward to ?

We've had a thaw here recently and my therapist had a Spring's Coming sign in her office Wednesday. Got me thinking. What do you look forward to? 

 

Me I look forward to walks where I can practice my walking skills and practice my voice lessons and maybe finally be identified correctly and not clocked (I haven't been even to a point of having to be clocked but HRT is showing some new changes over the winter - yay!!!)

Being outside where I can hear the birds and feel the wind on my skin.  

 

Its getting warmer!!!

What I was looking forward to was not having to wear anymore masks, but it seems that the government doesn't want us to stop wearing them.

 

Aside from the masks, I'm looking forward to all the really pretty spring dresses.

Skirts and sandals. I look forward to resuming my normal walking attire.

 

Being warm. This one is key. I would like to be warm again please.

 

Wearing my cool leather jacket outside again. It's lovely, but it it not designed for Michigan in the winter.

 

Huh. I guess my answer is, "More wardrobe options."

 

I can safely social distance on my walks though so the mask isn't required.

 

Hugs!

I like winter, more options to feminise my shape. I am slightly worried about stripping back and being clocked. I do miss the sun though :)

I don't miss the sun. I burn like a magnesium flare. I just miss being warm and having more wardrobe options. I'd like to be able to show off my arms and legs again.

 

Hugs!

I'm looking forward to getting my motorcycle out and feeling the wind in my face.  Not sure how a mask is going to work with that.

I’m so looking forward to dressing up and going to my favorite snack bar

(karaoke and Awamori). It’s been over a year now, so I’m really anxious to get out. Unfortunately, though, this probably won’t happen until summer. I also miss my GID group. Our last meeting was over a year ago!

Maybe to should take the lead and set up a zoom meeting for your GID

Yes, I suggested that to the leadership, but that didn’t go over very well. I don’t know why. I probably should have offered to run it, too, but I didn’t. Now that the pandemic is winding down we’ll probably start meeting again.

Just stepping out the door with ought bundling up will be lovely.  This year we won't be blessed with 20 some odd goat kids hopping around the barn.  The herd was purchased last year and is making antibodies for the war on Covid.  By the end of April our new flock of sheep should be established.  Seeing the joy in the livestock as they enter spring pastures is a joy!  As soon as the ice melts on the pond the frogs will sing for love as blue birds and other species built nests everywhere.  Life seems to increase as we all come out to enjoy the warmth.  Of course as an out and about trans person fashion plays into the joy.  Each season has its joy but those first breezes on naked legs are heavenly.

 

Hugs,

Smaller Oil bills. Sorry for the lack of passion but paying the oil man just to shiver here in the Northeast is such a downer. On the plus side, setting spray works really well with the cold.

Warm weather, getting out the bike and just riding. working on the car or truck or something outside. Spring fashions, shorts, skirts, and dresses. actually being able to exercise is one thing too.

      You are spot on here ... but also it seems like such a rigged game for the average person that it's hard to invest energy into the political arena -- too much big money controlling too many people/organizations/narratives for the common person to fee; heard...   In general, why we in America accept either candidate is baffling... for all our innovation as a nation, we can't do better than these two bozos?    The problem is, the political arena is such a sham -- again with large money controlling all aspects of the system -- that a common-sense, love-your-neighbor, make-reasonable-compromises, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work candidate will never make it anywhere above the local level (if even there)...    Everything is a reality show, and boring ol' decision makers that try to benefit the most people don't generate enough clicks, views and retweets...  I am not sure it is so much about celebrity as it is about party politics at all costs - "my side must always be viewed as right and your side must always be viewed as wrong!" kind of thinking... there is no consensus building anymore because that will get used against you in campaign ads... When Obama took office and then Hilary ran again, it was like all Republicans want to do was to find someone loud enough to put them in their place. Forget issues, forget character, just win a debate and rally the base.    To get back to your original point, not enough of us care about politics ... and in some ways we've become fat, happy and entitled as a nation. The yearning to achieve the "American dream", which drove my parents and their parents before them to work their tails off and sacrifice and save, is now just "give me the American dream for free while I sit here on my phone and watch tiktok..."

      You are in the right place.

      I am about 5 weeks ahead of you ... best wishes to you! For me it has been subtle changes at most so far (if any) ... but I am also on the "beginner's" level of patch, lol ...    Easy

      Oh, another comment.   I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is.  I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do.   When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family.   People like me can struggle with trans issues.   Please consider that in posting.

      I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point!

      I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it.  This is a wholly inadequate response.   1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.    6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.

      Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear?  The  novelty is long gone out on this.  I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing.  I missed it.    My body is saying "I am female!  Treat me that way!"   In the past it has screamed about this activity that  I have done to it.

      This is what I'm scared of.  And it's quite possible. Apparently Chicken Little was right.

      Whether it was a hate crime or not, it's still horrible.

      Finally I  am back online   I had to use the help of the contact form (not proud  of that, I always feel embarrassed and shy about contacting people), but here I am   missed all of you

      I'm not happy to admit this, but I usually scream or break things.   Breaking things became a bit of a no no, because It was always a cd or something I liked and it got very expensive to replace stuff

      Probably amusement parks. I've never been to one sadly, but I think I could talk for an hour about them without any problem
