Good morning everyone! 
I had to mow the yard for the first time last night and I realized I need a landscaper and mower lol. Temps in the 80s today. My wife gave me some of her old bras which they don’t fit but was a nice gesture nonetheless.

hugs

Emily

OK you can keep 80's  Uggh.  

I'm a 60s to 70s gal for comfort.  (Where do you have to live for that to be year round?  LOL)

 

It was a bigger deal then you realize when your wife gives you her old clothing.  Think abou t the mind set to help and support you in doing this!

Trust me I know and extremely thankful every day to my wife.  I probably wouldn't be full time if my wife had not be this generous and caring about my need for transition.  Though I am bless to of gotten all manner of her old "hand me downs" and some still have tags on them.  LOL

 

Hoping everyone has a wonderful and safe day.

Mine has gotten a kick out of some of the outfits I put together and she is always about tough love.  "Um nope-looks terrible-go change." she would say if I missed.  LOL

That  happens all the time with me I’m learning though, but if you ask her I’m not lol. I have to laugh at myself always before I only wore what was comfortable and cheap. I spend now on one outfit what I spent a year on my clothes  before.

Good morning. 

I've been told by women that I have good taste.  Sometimes.  Not always the case.  There have been times when all I could do to grab a few things off racks at thrift stores that kind of fit and then run out of the place in fear.  I remember a checkout clerk asking "Are you actually going to wear these together??"

Haha I love that. I thought it was funny I was talking to the insurance lady at my doctors office yesterday and she asked how I was and I said wonderful it’s I love my job Monday she got the biggest kick out of it. It really felt nice we talked on the phone for like 20 minutes. It was great to have a conversation as 2 women.

I would love to find a place were it is 60-75 yr round. maybe 40-50s at night. I would move there in a heartbeat. I am a warm weather girl. now more than ever since being on my blockers. I am cold more often. I want warmer weather so I can get out and do something. With no garage only have the parking lot to do any work on the cars. (yet the landlord doesn't allow it) I want to get on the bike and ride (MMM sounds like a song lyric)

 

thankfully it has been getting warmer. we wound up laying off two drivers yesterday. So know our hours are back up so today and tomorrow I go in at 10 instead of noon. hey 2 more hours of  boredom and BS.

 

Have a great day all.

Me too Shawna.  While maybe one or two days of 80's would be tolerable but not for months on end.

That was kind of blunt.  We all buy things that may not match because something at home does!

I have not had any negative comments about my choice of clothes . I am often complimented on my choices. One time I was visiting my son while he was in the hospital and the his nurse came into the room. I was wearing a dress, black leggings and scruncy boots. The nurse asked if I picked out my own clothes or if I had someone pick them out for me. When I told her that i pick out my own clothes she told me that I had better taste than she had. Talk about making my day!

75 and cloudy here. Enjoying the day outside in the yard. I did my civic duty and voted today, as Justine. I guess even with makeup I still look close to my id photo.

Having some mid-day coffee before heading out for a walk.  It’s 54° and the sun just came out.  I love warmer weather.  My wife won’t join me on my walks unless it’s over 50° so it looks like I’ll have some company today.

I used to be warm all the time prior to HRT.  Now my hands and feet are often freezing...LOL. Roles seems to be reversed a bit as I’m always reaching for her hands at night to warm mine.  The extremities being colder is one of the few changes I could have done without.

Hmm that could prove interesting to me if the hormones do affect my hands already can’t take the cold lol.

Not so your hands directly, just thinking of the natural tendency for women to feel colder than men in cool temps (in my experience and understanding).

 

As to age, my dad never had an issue with cooler temps until he started to get older. Same with my FIL.

I’m pretty sure it’s the E.  I started to notice the temperature change of my extremities about 3 months into HRT and ever since then.  I would think if it was completely due to old age, it would’ve happened over a greater period of time not over a few weeks.  Although I am old so I can’t rule that out?.  I just wear gloves a lot more often these days.

...Jani, thanks for the compliment on my new avatar!

Now I actually care if I get burned I need to go get some sun block and some moisturizer with spf for my face because now it looks like raccoon eyes.

Good morning.

I saw my red squirrel for the first time this year.  His color is like an Irish setter and he darts back and forth atop a chain link fence.

Good Morning @Ms Maddie, glad you saw your friend this year. I enjoy seeing the wildlife about, the Robins are chatty now in the mornings, I hear them about an hour before sunrise, heard a bard owl hooting just before I got up. It's so quiet around here, vehicle and air traffic that used to be in the background is virtually non existent.

 

Have a lovely day

OK lets face it MFT HRT = Freezing!  OMG I am so cold all the time and my hands and feet most of all.

I though maybe it was from weight loss and not regulating that temp yet but HRT definitely has an effect too.  JMO

Or I am old too.  

 

Coffee gone and at work.  Busy today. Not good things either sad to say.

Keeping it as positive as I can.  Smiles in place of tears.

 

Have a great day all.

Good morning! Coffee almost finished. Sorry to hear so many are feeling down, but I am another wildlife fan, as long as they don't get too close!

With spring peeking out everywhere I am feeling a bit lonely. What I wouldn't give to lay for hours in someone's embrace and just talk with one another!

Otherwise, between guitar practice and drawing I'm a busy gal.

I have one red squirrel that hangs around my yard.  Mostly its grey squirrels and chipmunks that congregate under my feeders whenever the birds are present.  I also have a couple rabbits that feed on the little bit of grass I have to the side of the house, and of course deer!

I'm sure that would be nice. 

 

Yesterday was glorious at mid-60's and sunny but today is back to rainy and grey.  Boo hoo! 

 

I have to register my cars this month but the town clerks office is closed but the state does offer an online app that I tried last night.  It will take longer than going to the office but safer.  

 

I hope everyone has an enjoyable day, whatever you choose to do!

Forecast in the upper 50s for us today. My hand get so cold now days. it really doesn't help with my left pinky having been broke last year. Hopefully with the weather getting warmer (big hope) I will not be as cold. doesn't really help that right now I am in  shorts and a cami. LOL.

 

My Friday today. 10-7:30. Have a phone appointment with my GYN tomorrow, then speech and MH video on Friday. Hoping for warmer weather as I want to start to work on something.

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!

      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.
