I hope i will be able to make it back to the Sunday night 9:00 eastern  substance abuse meeting with the new discord system.  If you have joined us in the past or have never come to a meeting but think you might have a substance issue please join us.  The trans* community has an alarmingly high rate of substance abuse but there is a solution.

Here is the link:  https://www.transgenderpulse.com/chat/

Thanks Charlize,

I finally got signed up with chat now that I don't need Java and am hoping to make the meeting tonight. Are there any special things or sign ups I need to do first? Is it in the meeting room on the menu?

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

You can post here anytime as well Regn and while it may take some time you will certainly get a response.

Even if you don't get messages on the TGAA list serve i hope you will come to the Zoom meetings as well.

They are at 7 on Mondays, 9 on Thursday, 6 Saturday and 8 on Sundays....all eastern time.  There is no need to use speak or use your video but listening can certainly help.  It certainly helped me.

Hi. I've been trying get into the chat room to chat with others who are in transition and dealing with all the aspects of living life and facing our issues without hiding in the bottle or in drugs and all the struggles and rewards that transitioning in recovery can bring all of us. I just don't know what I need to do to get there... kind of like when I first got sober and people guided me along the path of their recovery so I could chose my own. How the heck do I access the chat service here! LOL

I'm a newbie to this site (I guess you've figured that out?) and although I've downloaded the Discord app, installed it and registered, introduced myself in the Introductions Forum - Transgender Biography - I still cannot seem to access the chat service. 

 

I throw my hands up in the air,

I need your help, whomever's there,

So if you have some time to spare,

I'd like your expertise! Please Share?

 

Thanks,

Julie J

(a sober somewhat happy trans woman in transition :)

I'm sorry it is so difficult to get into the chatrooms.  I've had difficulties over the years and would still have issues without help.  I'm just not that great at using a confuser.  

Perhaps you could send a PM to Dev and she could help you get in.  I know i had to download Discord? and now seem to be able to blunder in without issue.

If your interested in a great trans meeting we also have them on Zoom and the information on how to get there is in this forum on a different thread.

Glad your here and hope to see more of you.

 

Hugs,

I think I just successfully created the Discord account and made it into TGPulse chat. But not sure. It’s pretty empty in there.

Please remember if you feel you may have an issue with substances that there is a weekly meeting here at the chat rooms meeting room.  There are also AA meetings for trans*folks at TGAA.  While those are for alcoholics most of us have been involved with many intoxicants.  Please PM me with any questions.  

 

Hugs,

Our Trans Pulse chat rooms substance abuse meetings continue every Sunday @ 9:00 eastern.  It is usually relatively quiet so there is plenty of time to chat.  Hope to see you there.

Me too, from Leah to Lee H, unless someone in the chain disapproves. I've been thinking, Zoom is smarter than me, insisting that I log on as "Lee". Maybe it's really just quite prescient. If so, I have a lot of questions for the Wizard of Zoom.

Really, I want to change because I want to start transitioning in earnest with HRT soon, I think. On this journey, I want to practice being myself, and not hiding longer than I have to. [Coming out timing issues abound, of course].

So, anyhow, see ya' at the meeting.

~~A hug from Lee, formerly Leah, originally Lee~~

Unfortunately Sunday Evenings are out for me due to Trans Chorus of Los Angeles meetings / rehearsals.  I was a mod there too before I found my local chosen family which helps me with the service they need.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.   
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
