thanks for the insight ... good to know things are being well thought-out ... it is no easy topic for sure, as many of us on here have been wrestling with this stuff for years and decades... -

@KymmieLWOW! He is absolutely horrible! Definitely one of the worst boss's. -
By KymmieL · Posted
Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box. Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit. So that was my morning. But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy. Hugs, Kymmie -

I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day. -

That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence. -

I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me." I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me. -

Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment. Desert Fox, you are so right. I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes. Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes. I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both. -

@EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern. There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues. This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have. From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades. -

That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training. I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!! -

Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors. As indeed they are. It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery. It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it. Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty. They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are. They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision. -

Oh my. I got in okay. -

My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance. I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there. I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se. Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this. -

Hmmm . . . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie -

I think you should discuss it with your doctor. I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.
