I respect your right to do anything you like to and/or with your own body. However, I also ask that you respect the rights of everyone else not to have to absorb the fallout from your choices.

Another former smoker here.

I've been quit for so long that it's completely behind me. But in the early days of quitting I was very repulsed by smoke.

Now I just move away from it. But then many parts of the country smoking is becoming rarer.

Went in for my eye exam which I do have done each year.Eye doctor did see something with my left eye, astigmatism and told me time for glasses or surgery.Decided on the glasses which are on order.There was no way they were going to stick something in my eye to fix it.I did see a few of the letters were blurry

I'm going to need eye surgery this year for early onset of cataracts due to my medication.  I've been terrified of this but have been told by many (including my parents) that its quick, simple and painless.  So my fear has been ramped down considerably.  My spouse had Lasik surgery years ago (very similar) and she experienced no pain or side effects.  So when the time comes don't be fearful.

I will get used to wearing glasses.With me being 41,I knew this eye exam was needed and knew the vision problems were going to start sometime.

My wife had both her eyes done last year, Jani. She would agree with your parents.  It sounds scary to me but I’m a ‘needle phobic’ so I would be hard pressed to even have the first part of it done.

 

Note: she has better vision now than ever before and would tell you it was worth the trouble.

I have one in each eye and my vision is "almost" bad enough to need glasses full time to read.  I was given contacts to try but they were weighted so regardless of how they were put in they would spin to align the contact with the astigmatism.  I could not get used to the "objects" in my eye constantly and kept rubbing my eyes.  Weighted contacts are way thinker then regular one I am told.   I have glasses but only to read and not full time.

They never once said the word surgery though...

 

Great appointment with my HRT doctor yesterday (as Shawna) and received another recommendation letter towards my Orchi.  That's two now and I want a third from my PCP doctor as well which is this Thursday.

Only 7 weeks more of this pain and discomfort!

(Sigh)

Well day two with my coffee back and I am coming back to normal Shawna.  Witchy Shawna was no body's friend.  LOL

Have a great day all!

I had one eye done Jani and will do the other is it needs doing in time. No pain and a quick recovery.

Sounds like the path is opening up Shewna.

I have worn glasses since I was in my early 20s. I haven't tried contacts I couldn't stand anything in my eyes. I have a bad enough time just putting in eye drops. Let alone contacts.

 

Well today and tomorrow I have the closing shift. same with next week. Our other Asst manager is learning to open the store. So what do I do when I could sleep in. I'm already up. damn body. LOL.

 

Well guys and gals it is showing 12 on the patio fence. with blowing snow. I think my blockers are causing me to be cold most of the time. Well it must be the price I have to pay to be who I am.

 

Stay warm everyone.

I noticed the same thing with my estridiol. Until the hot flashes stated pre-surgery I was usually wearing a couple of layers. On the plus side, cuddling up under a couple of blankets is one of the great joys of winter so...

OMG I am freezing all the time now. Lat fall when I started I was wearing a full compliment of sweat pants and t shirt and hoodie to bed.  LOL

Socks I have always worn to bed except in summer.

Vermont is not the warmest state either even in the summer.  LOL

I wonder if that's why I am so cold all the time. I've managed to shed 30 lbs myself (yay!) and I gone from being hot all the time to "can't get warm unless i'm in the tub"...

I literally can not seem to generate heat any longer.  Being heavy I was always warm.  Sweaty all the time during summer.  
Now my hands and feet feel like they are going to break off from being frozen.  Lol

Good Morning! I just got home from work. I started the coffee maker. (It's programmable. But that's kinda like programming your vcr. It's a no brainier to just hit the record button.) I let my cell phone at work yesterday. But I survived a day without. I'm not one of those people who would have a nervous breakdown if I didn't have my phone.

Good night at work. Nobody died. Didn't have to send anyone to the hospital. And nobody fell out of bed. All my patients slept. With the exception of one patient who is as much a night owl as I am. He just visited with me all night, drank coffee and I allowed him to go outside for the occasional cigarette. He also had some laundry for me to do. I usually do about 7 loads of sheets and bedding a night when things are quiet. Then I fold bibs, napkins and table cloths. I'm not much for sitting around  doing nothing. I like to keep busy. I do my patient rounds every two hours and make sure everyone is ok. 

I received a nice gift from the members of the resident council. A brand new coffee cup. I'll get some use out of it.

 

I've got a few thing to do this morning then I'll catch some shuteye before going back in tonight.

Y'all have a wonderful day!

 

Be safe. Be smart.

Good morning everyone!

Beautiful sunrise this morning, coffee is finished and I'm feeling energetic. Well, a little anyway.

Been sleeping well the past few nights. But also having interesting dreams in which I go in for Orchidectomy surgery. One dream had me having three testicles to remove!

I'm about to get my day started, so let me wish you all well!

Good Friday morning everyone. Well my Friday anyway. Actually slept good last night only had to get up once to pee. I wore sleep pants and seemed to help keep me warm. vs what I usually wear which is very little. Then again We didn't have a cold wind pounding on the bedroom wall all night.

 

Now I know the reason I hate closing. It can be boring. which it was last night. Got most of the closing done early then nothing.

 

Everyone stay warm as normal.

Good morning everyone 

 

had two cups of black dark roast this morning.

 

@Donnie_1961 those are wonderful pictures you posted. Very natural.

 

my stress level is rather high right now.  And when my stress level gets this high I tend to freeze.  No, not cold temperature but unable to do the things I need to do.  I’m in the middle of a project at home and I just can’t get going on the next step.  
 

Stress also makes my dysphoria worse.  This much stress over whelms my anti depression meds, but even if I could take an extra, it takes a week to make a difference and usually by then I’m naturally better.  I just have to find a way to push through this.

We had to take the hound to the vet to have a growth on her tail removed.  Since she had to be there early, we had breakfast out.  Strawberry waffles, Mmm!

 

Since we were in town anyway, I went to the government office to get new license plates for the car.  They lent me a screwdriver to remove the old ones, but it didn't fit the bolts.  A nice young man in the next parking stall got out a wrench and removed them for me.  He was still there when I came out with the new plates, so he helped again with his wrench.

 

I don't mind a bit when men are chivalrous. :)

 

Regards,

Kathy

Oh, Willow, I hope whatever is causing you stress eases upon you quickly.

 

I've been suffering from a sore throat, an earache, and jaws that will not open wide enough for more than a single slice of bread. Doc says it's a middle ear infection, possibly tonsillitus as well.  Put me on antibiotics, and I'm still in pain, still woozy, but well enough to take care of the little one so my wife can return to work.  It is good to semi-functional again!  Enjoying my second cup while the baby naps - he needs it, because he has a cold.  Everyone has been sick here, lately!

 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Kymmie, I'm going to let you in a little secret. It takes me hours to get ready.

I'm going to be brutely honest. Sorry if it may change how you see me. But honesty is an important quality in a person.

Firstly my body isn't exactly all real. Although I've been on HRT for a while things just don't progress as fast as one might want. So I compensate.

I'm wearing a D cup Silicon Half Body Suit.That's why the skin tone on my neck and chest are a little off. It weights about 10 pounds.

Add another 10 pounds of silicon for the Buttocks and Hip Enhancer that I wear.

That's twenty pounds of silicon that I around all day and night. Its very uncomfortable sometimes. Very hot and sweaty.

My smile isn't real. It's  cosmetic veneer.

My hair is a human hair wig. 

I once had very long blonde hair. (That's why people used to call me BLONDE.) I shaved my head when my daughter had cancer and her hair was falling out. I wanted to be supportive.( I later found out the cancer was a lie. She was faking the whole thing. To get drugs. Pain killers. I couldn't be mad at her. She was pretty messed up.) That's when I I discovered the wonderful world of wigs. I own many. Different styles and colors.

I've gotten fairly good at doing my own makeup. I've found that less is always more. I use only enough to enhance my best facial attribute, my eyes. They are hazel green.

 

So there you have it. Not everything is at it appears.

But the upside is a I look and feel good .And that's enough for me.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.  
    • KathyLauren
      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
