Latest good recipe find? Lemme see... I'm trying to recreate a local family restaurant's refried beans at home. Right now it's kind of hit or miss (Mostly miss) on coming close to it. Currently I'm tweaking the ratio of beans, bacon fat and smoked paprika and lime juice. Current ingredients I've been able to sus out though are: Pinto beans, shredded colby jack cheese, bacon fat, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper flakes, diced onion, garlic and a lil bit of salt. When I feel comfortable with the exact amounts, I'll update. ^.^ -

I have Church of Scotland roots: my grandfather was a C of S minister. So quite apart from my general happiness at reading some good news, this particular bit of good news makes me feel especially happy. Thanks for sharing it, @DeeDee! -

I'm wearing some new pink reading glasses I bought the other day. Even if I'm stuck in boymode I try to do something gender affirming every day. Pink readers, tinted lip balm, clear mascara. Anything I can. -

Hi all! I’ve been here numerous years and followed discussions in the shadows. I began my medical transition in 2018. Lost a lot of friends and family, but grew so much along the way! Fast forward to the surgical journey. August 2020 - Vaginoplasty I underwent my vaginoplasty in Austin TX during the start of COVID. It was a rough recovery. I suffered some separation of stitches which landed me having physical restrictions. I then began suffering from hypergranulation within my canal which led me to seeing the GYN twice a week for 13 weeks for silver nitrate treatments. The silver nitrate ended up causing stenosis which led to my next surgery. April 2021 - Surgical Revision I had a revision of my vaginal canal which helped with dilation…for only 3 weeks! I underwent about 10 months of pelvic floor therapy to no avail. Dilation was near impossible. So this led to my next revision. April 2022 - Revision and Breast Augmentation This surgery I decided to do my breast augmentation concurrently. The breast augmentation went phenomenal, no pain, 575cc Silicone implants. Awesome results. The vaginal revision, both my primary surgeon and an additional surgeon with expertise in complicated pelvic disorders performed the revision together. immediately I felt amazing after with no issues dilating! I am now 2 years post final revision and have no issues dilating once a week and have sex with no problem! March 2024- Facial Feminization Surgery I decided to have FFS after much thought. I had it done at Duke University. I had the following done: -Type 3 forehead reconstruction and sinus setback -Cheek implants - Orbital contouring - Sliding Genioplasty -Submental liposuction Recovery was not bad. First 5 days were a tad sore and uncomfortable- but honestly minimal pain. Surgeons Vaginoplasty- Dr. Ashley DeLeon Breast Augmentation- Dr. Gerhard Mundinger FFS- Dr. Elda Fisher I’m happy to answer any questions! Kylie -

Contrary to some recommendations we make for members, the Vicky part is just my legal FN and the SGV does give my home location within a few hundred square miles. When I joined here the Vicky all by itself was taken so I had to add something else to it. -

Vidanjali is a combination of the Sanskrit words "vidya" and "anjali". Vidya means intuitive knowledge or divine knowledge (where its antonym is ignorance) and anjali means offering. For example, in yoga, anjali mudra is the position of hands in prayer at the heart center. So, Vidanjali expresses my desire to be an instrument of illumination and goodwill in the world and to be of service to others. -

My pleasure. I am looking forward to reading it too. I also recommend the Saslow book. Amazing story. For all, here is the synopsis of Black's new book. Any you'll notice the use of they/them pronouns. "When coded language and creeping authoritarianism spread the ideas of white nationalists, this is an essential book with a powerful voice. Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet’s first white supremacist website—Derek built the kids’ page. David Duke, was also their close family friend and mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability, was all Derek knew. Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced white nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused. The majority of their family stopped speaking to them, and they disappeared into academia, convinced that they had done so much harm that there was no place for them in public life. But in 2016, as they watched the rise of Donald Trump, they immediately recognized what they were hearing—the spread and mainstreaming of the hate they had helped cultivate—and they knew that they couldn’t stay silent. This is a thoughtful, insightful, and moving account of a singular life, with important lessons for our troubled times. Derek can trace a uniquely insider account of the rise of white nationalism, and how a child indoctrinated with hate can become an anti-racist adult. Few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the white nationalist movement like Derek, and few have ever made so profound a change." -

I am always fascinated and curious about the names we choose for ourselves on this forum. Many have me very curious as to the history/reason behind them. If it's not prying too much and you are willing to share, it would be great to hear the why behind your choice. I'm actually a little jealous of the creativity here, as my name is anything but creative. It's just my actual girl name. Very boring, I know. But so many of you out there have such unique and thought provoking forum names.
