Hello my good sisters and brothers!

I have not been around for a while and a lot have happened in my life. I was laid from work last week so I am living as Daphene full time for now until I get another job. I am not going to look for work until I decide where I want to relocate to. I have two more visits to my gender therapist and he said I would get my hormone letter, so I am looking forward to that. My wife and I are getting a divorce, but we are parting ways as friends so it is not all bad there. I am out to my sister and mother and father and they are all supportive and accepting. I have learned to fix my makeup prettygood now so I can go out as Daphene. I am going to start hormonesand transition as I have always dreamed of doing. Life is pretty good right now. I just need to relocate and find a job in a few months. I am waiting until I start hormones and make sure I dont nut up on them. I have talked to an electrolygist who has TS experience and I am starting that wonderful process when I start hormones so I just wanted to give everyone an update and let you know I am still out here.

Lots of hugs,

Daphene

It's great to hear from you, Daphene. Welcome back!

I'm sorry to hear about the job, but you seem to have a positive outlook even on that. Takes a special person to not get too down

when that happens. I wish you the best on your job search.

Excellent news with everything else, well, except the marriage, but I am glad to hear that the ending has been amicable. Like I

said in another thread, I don't begrudge any spouse who cannot adapt and carry on in a relationship that undergoes the kind of

change we bring. It is too much to ask, in many cases. Parting as friends is a good thing.

Good luck with everything, and keep in touch.

Hi Daphene,

It's good to know that things are going relatively well for you (I can understand the problem with job searching, it's something that's too common these days). And I'm really glad you came back and gave us an update. That is soooo appreciated.

Keep us informed as you can, we love to hear stories of success, or if not, we're good ears for listening and arms for hugging.

I hope the next time is as good or better than now.

Hugs

Thanks for the positive feed back. Life is going ok for now, but i know some rough times are ahead. I am trying to get prepared. I am meeting another TS friend from California for the first time this week at Southern Comfort in Atlanta on Wednesday. That should be intresting. Anyway, thanks again.

Lots of hugs,

Daphene

Donna Jean, I am still living in my RV with my dog Casper. Yes I am willing to relocate anywhere that is TS friendly and has architects in he area so that I can find work. Right now I am just waiting on my hormone letter and waiting to get started with hormones and then I plan on picking a location and move and find a job as my male side while the hormones do thier magic. I want to live as Daphene when I am not at work until going full time becomes a reality.

Lots of hugs,

Daphene

Hi Daphene. It's great to hear from you. You sound positive about your life

and I'm happy that you are proceeding ahead. I'm sorry tht your marriage is

breaking up but there's no animosity between you and your wife. Keep us posted.

      Welcome Violet.  It's been awhile since i found this space with so many who understand the struggle to simply be ourselves in a society that often disapproves,  It isn't an easy path but being together we can share all the bumps and the joys. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm sorry it didn't work out for the new job. Nothing to keep you from being on the search. I had a coworker who used to walk out of the locker room saying; "I was looking for a job with I found this one and I'll keep searching for the next one. Never let them think you're comfortable and settled."   The coffee has just finished brewing, and we have a HVAC technician coming in about 30 minutes to do an annual system check.   It's time to get out of my Pj's.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone, I have enjoyed reading this thread immensely. There certainly are some things in it that I can relate to, particularly when you wrote that "I wasn’t a man trapped in a woman’s body." This simple statement confirmed two things for me; I am not an imposter here, and I could end up much further along the path than what I imagine now.   I very much look forward to your future posts here.   I hope that by posing this question I'm not committing you to spoil future posts, but can I ask, why you have settled on Bigender as a label? I keep changing my label and have no idea what it might be tomorrow or next week or next month!

      This whole Cass Review thing is breaking my heart. I keep imagining how it must be to be a trans kid in the UK atm. I am halfway through reading the review so that I can effectively refute it if and when people cite it here in Australia.

      One thing I took on board from a former boss who was an absolute gentleman and fluent conversationalist but a hopeless leader because he was the classic yes man to his superiors, was to take the emotion out of the equation when arguing. Don't use hyperbole. Don't exaggerate. Stick to what you know and defeat your adversary with logic. Of course, your adversary will double down and make an even bigger fool of themselves, and not even realize that they have lost the argument, nor will they realize that people are laughing at them and not with them. It also helps if you can separate them from their minions.   A conservative elderly uncle, who left school at the age of 12, swears black and blue that taking Ivermectin (sheep dip) prevents Covid because he knew someone who knew someone else who took it and despite that person being momentarily in close contact with people who had Covid, didn't come down with it. "Well, you're the one with the science degree!" I said.   A lot of people argue out of ignorance. They base their points on populism and rumor. I rarely argue, but when I do, it is in an attempt to push back. Another favorite saying that I use is "Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools and believed by idiots." I then ask, "Which two are you?" 😉

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.
