I thought I had made peace with my body. I am not transgender. Transition isn't an option. I am somewhere betwixt and between. I thought I was a freak. I though there really wasn't a way to present myself. So. I am a girl. It may be a costume, but it allows me to move through the world. In reality, I drank. I've been trying to maintain sobriety for years. It hasn't happened. I am sobor now. Recently, someone came in to my life who tried to help me. I fought her every step of the way. Bite the hand that feeds. Mostly because this person stirred something that I thought was long gone. Also neither,also an other. I thought they knew my secret just looking at me. Instead of being transparent. This is what I was holding on to. I drove them from my life. But this is cracked open again. I have to face it now. I need resources, or community or just some kind  sounding board.

Welcome Prukie.  Finding our way with gender is quite a process.  I've found it to be a lifetimes work.  Being here helped me.  You are not alone.

 

Hugs,

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Prukie.  It is never easy being unsure of yourself, not knowing what is real, what isn't, and who the real you is.  I hope that we can help just a little with your questions, concerns, and confusion.  Ask us anything, and we'll do our best to give you honest answers.

 

HUGS

Hey Prukie, Welcome!   Making peace with our selves, wow, that can be hard as just when we think we're there we get a curve ball thrown our way.  As Charlize says, its a journey that can take some time.  But that's OK as anything worth having is worth the effort.  I'm glad to hear you're staying sober.  Don't reject those around you out hand as you may find the strong support you want.  Having someone to walk along with can be invigorating.

 

We are definitely here as a sounding board for you.

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
