Good morning everyone 

 

Im taking a small day trip today. I am going to briefly see a friend. She will be getting her surgery in a little over a week.  Unfortunately neither of us can afford to get too close for fear of covid. She has to be extremely careful due to her upcoming surgery and i for a visit with an ENT that specializes in issues of voice and throat.  

 

Im actually going to borrow a special sewing machine to fix a sail.

 

Ah coffee is done. Have a great day.

Hi everyone! Pancakes at Village Inn this morning. A little treat! Anyway today I feel especially girly so I put on one of my sun dresses. I styled my hair to look cute and I’m leaving my gold nail polish on. It’s hard to look authentic but I do my best. 

A GIFT (Amazing Story) 

 

A gift of 100 dollars was given to me from a complete stranger on Sunday! This lady in the mall prayed for me and told me God loved me and I am very special to Him. I was at the mall at this time and my Ex and son came walking in. My Ex looked down and quickly walked by while my teenage son waived at me and smiled. I opened up to this lady about my Ex hating me and then right in front of her she ignores me. The conversation started with how the world is and somehow it got personal. She was asking God who she could bless! This is an amazing thing that of all the people there she chose me! She was thinking of the man that was there with a broken arm in a cast but it was me instead! So with all the crazy things going in the world and all the people in the world I was chosen to receive a gift from God! We all are loved and this could happen to anyone! 
 

Everyone here has been amazingly sweet to me! I am on a journey of healing. I believe this was a sign of that. 
 

Blessings to all of you! 
 

Love

Just had my day made. I was out working in on the bike. when I heard a roar over head. Looking up I see an US Air Force B-1B bomber fly over. Wings back and everything. it was so freaking cool. I texted my oldest, he said FE Warren is having there air show this weekend. Now to really make my week a B-52 needs to fly over. Just got a text from my son. The B-1b is from Ellsworth AFB, Were I was stationed. I was there when we first  got the bones.

Tori. There are more kind people in the world then unkind. These people hide and we need to help them come out. It’s easy to judge someone based on skin, dress, their body, voice, mannerisms, and you can pretty much pick what you want to hurt someone but being kind you have to look over all of that and release your inner rainbow and see that no color in the rainbow wants to be the only color. Who would want a one color rainbow? Judging is a fast escape and a cowardly move. Some people walked by and saw my toes painted and pointed and laughed at me. I said nothing. I just let them walk by.  This world needs to see until we can love one another without judging we will never move forward. There is no one exactly like someone else so why do we want people to be like us? Be yourself and no one can judge you but you.

Going to start my day at Burger King. I have to go grocery shopping today. Last night I went to the 5 and below store. I bought a sun dress and a mini skirt. Only 10.00! 
 

I will start working next week at my retail job. They gave me 16 hours. This will help with bills. I still have off Mon, Tues, and Friday. I hope I can handle wearing a mask all shift. 
 

Next week will hopefully be talking to the CPS Worker on the case against my ex. I hope to hear good news. I feel free right now. I’m sitting in my patio in my Grey mini and a black shirt. I a

I took a long walk to the interstate bridge last night. I go there when I want to be alone. I listened to music and danced in the bridge. It was a freeing time! Some truckers honked at me to! Lots of trucks late at night. 
 

Time to soon go get breakfast and start my work day. I hope I can be an inspiration to my customers and show them the kindness they deserve. We are all struggling and we all could use a helping hand and I am glad to be that for them. Not all are nice to me but so is life. 
 

Most gender me over the phone as female. I am just for fun tracking the calls that don’t. Only 2 people mis gendered me over the phone. Today is going to be a good day! 
 

Love to all!

Good morning, everyone!  (actually bedtime for me here)  I haven't posted on Morning Coffee for a while because I didn't have much new/news to share .. but!

TODAY!  I finally, Finally, FINALLY had my first therapy session.  And it was wonderful! 

I have a great therapist .. she let me upack 50+ years of baggage (well we ran out time .. but she actually let me go long past our :50 session), and she wants to see me weekly.

Still dealing with my wife's anxiety about me making progress, but I am hoping she will come along at some point (my therapist suggested this also).


THANK YOU to everybody on this Forum who have strongly encouraged therapy as an initial step.  It gave me the courage and determination to finally take that step.  HUGS for everyone❣️

Hi all.  I'm still alive and kicking.  Absent but not gone.

Still just adjusting to life on the other side of the country after the big move and setting up a new life here in Oregon.  Unpacking, waiting for furniture to be delivered and now working at my new job just this week.  There is the crappy 2 hour commute one way for a month before the local 15 minute away VA hospital opens their Biomed dept. back up.  But all in all its going very well.

 

THEE Biggest news is I finally received my legal name and gender marker change this past Wednesday.  I am now legally Shawna Leigh and female.

The process was said to take several weeks so I filled out my paperwork and mailed it late Sunday evening.  In hopes to get it going soon. They called me a couple days later on Tuesday with a court date either that afternoon or the next day.  Holy crap that is fast admin.  Well I was at work 2 hours away so I opted for the next day.

 

@Patti Anne wanted to be there for me so we went for the 1pm appointment.  Waiting maybe 10 minutes for them to call me in.  Patti was unable to go in with me which was disappointing at the time.  The court room was empty and I had just walked in carrying all my papers to prove residency, surgery, etc.. and just received instructions from the Bailiff where to sit.

This is when the judge calls out, "Your all set."

I'm I stop walking and said, "That's it?  I'm all set???"

He says, "Yep, all set."

I say thank you and turned back around.  Maybe a total of 15 seconds inside the court room.

Now THATS fast justice IMHO.

 

However we had to wait 30 minutes for the signed copy to come down to get my own official copies for other agencies but all in all it was super fast.

Its did not even hit me until that evening what I actually had happen.

Its amazing to realize a dream come true and it happening so fast I did not have time to let it sink in.

 

Patti Anne went and got me a small cake and we had a small birthday party of sorts as it was my first day as a legal women and one legally called Shawna Leigh.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday @ShawnaLeigh!

 

I'm glad things are working out for the both of you after your move. It's good to hear that the two of you are happy and finding these little victories along the way!

 

Hugs!

Damn, Sis. Shawnaleigh Why am I always last to know these things. LOL. Congrats on finally becoming a woman. That is one reason I have looked a moving to Oregon. The name change is so easy, there.

However the gender marker change is easy here on your license in WY. Just need to have your Dr. fill out a paper saying they are treating you and you are female. Take it to the DMV and get it changed. piece of pie easy as cake. LOL.

Happy Birthday @ShawnaLeigh and congratulations on the successful name and gender change. It wasn’t a long court appearance but the memory of it will be with you the rest of your life.

 

All The Best,

Congratulations, Shawna!  I remember floating 3 feet above the ground and looking again and again in disbelief at my papers and license for days after I got mine changed.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Relaxing after work and binge watching “I am Jazz”.
Thinking about painting my toes, but not too hard lol. Just got to decide what color to do.

@ShawnaLeigh, divine bovine, girl! It doesn't seem that long ago you were just starting your journey... This is a major milestone! Congratulations to you! I am so happy for you! You are an inspiration to me.  Things have been going so slowly for me, but I hope Maryland will be a great place for the new me. Hearing about your progress helps keep me going.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
