Good Morning. So I barely slept last night. Instead I read books. And I'm back at school. Which really doesn't make me that happy. But it's better than being at home so that's a benefit.

My positive wave of euphoria just keeps going.  I had an amazing weekend and the final tally was 5 friends and my two children all being super supportive and accepting.

I also hit "send" to the Director to our division I work for.  I have been waiting for an email reply all morning chewing my nails.

He called me with a few minutes ago the had same extremely supportive attitude and he is very driven to make sure we inform everyone at my comfort level and then he wants to set up meetings with my hospitals to do the same.   With me!  I am blown away.  The Director!  That's like 3 levels above my supervisor.

Though I do feel very special I shouldn't be all that surprised as I knew him from high school.  LOL

So although my Monday is beating me up at maximum work overload my mood is still riding Cloud 9.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Fantastic news Shawna! I'm glad (almost) everybody in your life is being supportive! This is hard enough to do without people you care about coming down on you.

 

All I did today was three and a half-hours in the gym, chiropractor and a trip to the pharmacy to tell them that I don't need my Estridiol renewed right now because I can't have any for five more weeks. I'm thinking about lunch, then I'm going to write until it's time to talk to my therapist.

 

Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

Hugs!

Just got back from my recert for my c-pap machine at VA. Went in all girl mode, Sweater dress, leggings, purse. This was my first time in girl mode in the primary doctor waiting area. (meaning a lot of people. I did get some looks but I just did my thing and waited to be called. No worries. 

 

I was able to get out and home  and changed before my youngest got home from work. He would surely blab to my wife.

Good morning 

 

I just made coffee.  It rained again last night signaling the impending cold front.  We’ve had 70s for the last few days, but that’s done for a while. 
 

My wife and I have been doing water aerobics a couple times a week.  It’s helping here knee loosen up finally and it’s good for me too.

 

enjoy your day.

Good Morning, on my 2nd cup already, the snow turned to rain overnight, the air is cool and moist now. My skin can feel the difference. This time of year, I use way more moisturizer, love this lavender hand creme 

 

Have a nice day

The mix of snow and rain is ending here but my electrology appointment was moved since she had a number of cancellations and called it a day.  I'm at the point its just touch up anyway.  Soon I'll go out and fill the bird feeders with seed as they look empty.

Oh yea another crap-tacular commute this AM. Big snow storm here in our area.  Again....

I lived.

Not much death and destruction happens at 10mph.  LOL

I had coffee and my audio book so I was slow and easy.

But I got to tell you I am getting tired of white knuckle driving conditions.  I'm not worried about myself as much as I am the idiots who have 4WD and think they can do interstate speeds on back roads. .

I agree, and I'll add those that think "All Season" tires are the answer for New England weather.  We've run Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires from Finland for many years.  Love them.

I have 4 wheel drive and all season radials and make sure to go slower in bad weather like this. Sure I can get going better but ice is ice and still slippery no matter what. On the flip side I hurt my back a couple weeks ago on New Year’s Eve and it has been hurting since. Coffee is on and I’m relaxing before work.

I do remember having to be out in all weathers with work. One issue I found with these people who drive 4WD cars is that when going through floodwater slow but determined it was infuriating to have a 4WD come the other way without slowing down and potentially flooding my engine with their bow wave.

 

As Rachel said - Ice is ice. I remember years ago deliberately travelling on the empty snowcovered path (sidewalk) (technically illegal but safer) at the side of a country road which was covered with black ice on a trials bike. Even with one of those ice is still tricky but a layer of snow, if not too thick,  is no problem.

 

Latter days in the car it is more of thinking what silly things others would do. It is a little un-nerving to travel down a back road covered in snow though and see a trail of cars in the hedge bottom, wondering if you are next.

Good morning everyone. A belated Happy New Year to you all. I’m back from a bit of an absence. Was dealing with a bit of stuff in my life and had shut myself out of pretty much everything  for awhile. After a friend reached out and some good chats with my therapist, I’m feeling much better. Started hormones 3 days ago, yay!  Also have had some good conversation with my wife, I think I’ve got my feet back underneath me and keep stepping forward again. So it’s Friday now, looking forward to my morning tea shortly and the end of the work week for me later this evening. 
 

Have a great day! Stay safe for those of you having to go out in bad weather.

      I'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.
    • Ivy
      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

    • Ivy
      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie
