Got the referral today from my regular doc to see an endocrinologist. Waiting for them to process (a few days, they tell me) and then we'll get the next appointment set up. Not sure how far out that will be. 

 

I was nervous as heck talking about this with the PA. Surprised my blood pressure was normal (my pulse was racing). Was wearing a bra underneath my shirt - didn't expect the doc to want to listen to my lungs and all that. So, well, yeah there's that...

Hi @EasyE! Wonderful! Yes, I still remember going to my doctor for that referral, it was the first time I told her about my gender dysphoria. She & the staff on base were super supportive! It didn't immediately ease my anxiety, fear & nervousness (I'm probably missing a n emotion or two), but it helped. Good luck on your upcoming Endo appointment!

 

Hugs!

Endo appointment set for Wednesday afternoon... Filled out a long questionnaire last night in preparation ... it has been a tough few weeks since I took this leap -- my mom passing away being the hardest thing ... hoping to learn a lot this coming week and get some clarity on this stage of the journey...

 

 blessings to all this holiday season!

      Good morning, everyone!!   I got our porches and outdoor furniture power washed yesterday. Let the warm weather festivities begin!! Well, just in time for the cool rainy weather we're supposed to be getting for the next few days.   Not sure what I'll do today - with rain projected I'll be stuck inside, I guess.   Be safe and have fun on your adventure @awkward-yet-sweet!!

      I'm a masculine woman. It's not about masculinity though. It's about expanding what it means to be a woman.

      It never rains but it pours.  We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond.  Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft.    With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow.  Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along.  And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck.  So much more cozy.    And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

      I have played clarinet, but without talent.  And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.

      Something that would help is reducing salt intake which causes the body to hold water and causes inflammation, another thing would be to add cardio to your exercise routine. Lowering your overall body fat will affect your face appearance. Hope this helps :)

      Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.
    • Sally Stone
      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses. 
    • Ladypcnj
      Thanks for the replies, as an admin from my own group I understand the same rules, agreed.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.
