One Year HRT


Jordyn1215225

Recommended Posts

Today marks one year I've been on hormones.  I know everyone moves at there own pace and even though i have made small strides, i still feel like i havent done enough to start living as my euthentic self.  One year ago i thought about a time frame. I figured 2 years.  This first year has been amazing, stressful, and everything inbetween.  I think with the physical changes im going to need to come out to my boss in the near future.  I think it will go fine. i think i will have her support, as with many others in my work place. But im super scared none the less.  

 

One year down and many more to come.

For my first birthday and yes i will be now celebrating today as my birthday instead of the other one. Plus its in the winter time and blah. Summer time is so much better. 

 

Happy pride month everyone

That’s great your one year is up. After the first 2 years it flys by. The next thing you know it’s been 10 years . 
 You said you didn’t think you done enough what kind of things ?

Truthfully im right where i thought i would be one year ago.  My biggest critic is my self. I tell my self all the time things are changing, and changing slowly. Slowly for me is what i need. I wish i could transition over night but dont we all.

You go Girl! I'm 1.5 years myself, and it seems like slow going, but everyone goes at their own pace, so remember, slow and steady wins the race! 

Hugs, Wanda

      No one seemed to pay attention to me other than a young woman who complimented me on my skirt and an older gentleman who smiled at me as we passed each other.

      Wow, I guess it’s the dat to be in trouble.  I’ve been hit twice by the ASM today and it’s my day off.  Why didn’t you, followed latter with a where is the.  Made me realize that I do t want to continue working long enough to pay for it. I guess I’ll just to have to stick with my 20 year old car for now.   I suppose sooner or later only one of us won’t be able to drive anymore.  Since I am older you might think it would be me but at this time i am the one that does all the driving except when she goes to church or the store when I’m at work.  She hasn’t driven anywhere since February and hasn’t driven more than 10 miles in perhaps a year.  Yet the “good” car was purchased for her not for me because she couldn’t drive the Jeep which we bought strictly for her because she wanted it.  But it turned out I was the one that really liked it.  Can’t win.

      Had one like that one time that would bite you on occasion.  Got rid of that thing quickly.

      I have been told that I "pass" better than I realize. I hope that is true.

      Good morning :)   I have coffee today, but the cup keeps leaking (I guess the cap isn't able to fully seal or something), so I keep having to wipe up the sides lol   Almost finished all my missing work for school, which means if I do a bit more work, I should be out of trouble with my parents (not even that bad of trouble compared to when I was younger, more just an annoyance haha)

      Sending good thoughts for you, Raine.

      Good morning 😘   Finished packing up my kitchen and pantry for fumigation today. I also modified my backpack to make it day-centre compliant.  I was able to get almost 2 hrs sleep last night, so I'll survive. 😑

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.

      I had that going on with my last two partners who were 20 years older than me.  One of them looked older for her age as well.  I remember a couple times being in the grocery store a decade ago and having people ask "can I help you ladies with something?" and then I'd turn around with my red beard.  Well before I started transitioning, but my partner knew I was trans back then.   I struggle with this as well.  My music and political career can have a masculine edge to it that I don't like.  It's been really frustrating lately.  I don't like pushing myself on others or telling people what to do.  I've been running a website for 25 years and have virtually never tried to promote it or even look at any analytics.  I don't want to push it on anyone.  I put what I have on it and make it publicly available.  It's part of my production process.  It keeps me sane and if someone else can find it useful, then I'm happy to share.

      I'm curious, but then if I am true to myself, I have a hard time being in crowds.  I love hearing great music, but being in an audience is such a turnoff for me that I don't go to concerts or bars.  I'm just very much a producer.  I actually like doing the dishes more than going to concerts because it's an active thing.
