Hi Ladies,

Well it's been a few weeks since you've heard from me. So I thought an update was in order. Lately I have been able to dress as much as possible as Stacy out in public. I bought myself breast forms for Christmas and they fit wonderfully; I've been able to buy style clothing I like and enjoy to wear. I plan on updating my profile pic here once I am able to have my wig. Which should be soon I hope. So just a small but big update from me..

Thanks for the update, Stacy. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you. I can tell you from personal experience how great it is to have a wig that you feel comfortable with and that looks natural. My wig is a part of me, and fits my personality. I hope you are as happy with yours.

HUGS

Just another part to this. I've been trying to be Stacy like all day everyday. Just need to get well 2 things. 1 is a recurring effect every 165 days if i do things right. the Recurring effect being breast form tapes. But again.. it's only recurring once every 165-170 days. Which is good. when in a bind. So I thought I'd update everyone again.

Well here's another update. I have my consultation meeting for HRT on Mach 5th. Though I do have some general questions for those who have fully transitioned.. Are you currently still taking Estrogen? Mom isn't as supportive as I originally thought. She has a hard time seeing me as woman.. She said she had three boys.. Not 2 boys and 1 girl. So going to have to work with her. But as for HRT i have my consult meeting on March 5th at 1:30 I think. Just unsure as to if there is a point in time when you stop taking Hormones all together.

Yes, hon. Everyone that I know who has had an orchie or GRS continues to take estrogen, although not Spiro or other T-blockers.

Here's a question.. One i'm really wondering what the best answer is...

When is it a good time to buy swimwear?

It's getting to be beach season and I haven't started HRT yet.. Hoping to within the next month. So when's a good time to be buying swimwear for the beach, as a close friend of mine wants me to tag along with her when she come to the local beach.

I have yet to start HRT.. Have been waiting for my therapist to fax over the letter of recommendation to my HRT doctor.. My psychiatrist and regular doctor got their paperwork to my HRT doctor in Madison. I find out more on Wednesday.

Just a quick update. I finally told my Bio dad i'm transitioning and he said he couldn't see it in me. but would try. he also mentioned that moving to Madison would be a good idea as the community is more open than the one i currently live in. Which is nothing I haven't considered but after calling around to apartment complexes i can afford, they all had between a 2-5 yr wait list. So I'm pretty much stuck in the town i'm in. Dad was the last person I wanted to tell as his support for me is kind of key. But I could have done without the reminder that my town isn't the best place to be for being transgendered. He also said that after raising two girls he didnt' see in me what he sees in them. Which in all reality he wouldn't, because those are things I have to learn to do so it will take some time.

On a better note, I'm more than likely moving into my own place this Christmas so I can finally be myself and have a place for myself. So I'll keep everyone updated as time goes on.

As a former resident of Wisconsin where I was born and raised, La Crosse is semi liberal, but I agree with your dad Madison Wisconsin is certainly the most liberal in Wisconsin. Minneapolis is equally as liberal as Madison Wis. Go somewhere you aren't known and just be yourself. College towns are easier to live in as young people are more accepting. Good luck on the rest of your life. Kathy

That is exciting! Hopefully you could leave with a prescription. Have you had a baseline blood test yet? Your doctor may want that and calling the office may save you a bit more waiting time.

Hugs,

Charlize

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me
