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

Congratulations @KayC It feels good doesn’t it? Just sharing it is a release of stress. I’m glad you’re getting support like that. You’ll start to see your world in new ways and if you’re lucky, some really sage advice.

 

My Best,

Hi

 

@ShawnaLeigh congratulations and happy rebirth day!

 

I’ve been working all day repairing a and trying to get the timing set on a sewing machine. I finally got it working well close enough, to sew two sections of a sail together. I had a sail that was in really good shape but was too big.  I cut it down and am sewing it back together.  I’ve broken a number of needles.  It’s still not quite right but I got it working so I starting sewing. Taking a Minon Break.

I had a pretty good day today. Woke up at 4am (it's been happening a lot lately) made watermelon sorbet. I never tried making sorbet and I don't like watermelon. Must be a good combination though, cause I love it. Than I felt confident enough to strip down to a sports bra and short shorts and lay out to get some sun. after I woke from a short 20 minute nap and rolled over I found myself watching the clouds. A lot of them looked like dogs ?. I haven't done either in decades. And then I ran a few errands. I'm still getting used to people opening doors and asking me to go first when I'm out shopping. Oh, and I got new sandals. Now I can paint my toenails. Just not sure if I should paint them in the Helms flag pattern to match my fingers or something different.

Elizabeth,  make sure you use sunscreen.  Don't want to over  bake. 

 

Well all the opening stuff is done. So taking a break to see how my friends are.  Early shifts all week. Then open on Saturday. Well  still nothing from anybody yet. But  I am not desperate to leave. I know that I need to finally be the girl I so desperately need to be.  

 

Have a great day every one.

Good morning everyone! My Sunday was good I rode 27mi on my bicycle. I went and seen my parents again after I came out to them they say they support me with my decision. My mom said she will not use my name or pronouns yet until I’m out to the rest of my family. She seems to be pretty affected by my coming out but that’s to be expected. We did go swimming while I was there along with some family friends. No one said a word or even batted an eye when l wore my new swimsuit. It has polka dots lol. My wife called me crazy later because I had a tan line from my swimsuit and I was so excited. I was jumping up and down saying I have a women’s tan line lol.

Good morning Emily,

27 miles on the bike! Wow, that's great. As for your mom wanting to wait until you've invited the rest of the family into your trusted circle. That's cool, give your elder family members a chance to see the new you and interact with you around others so they come along slowly, not forcefully.

 

I'm like you and the tan lines, when I blow dry my hair. Thank you "Curley Girl" videos, my silver/white hair is so feminine and pretty, my wife just shakes head and smiles. She's coming along slowly too.

 

Hugs,

Good☕️Morning Everyone,

The coffee is still strong and black.

I'm at the dealership having my company truck serviced. Everyone here is respecting COVID-19 suggestions which is a good thing since I fall in the high risk description.

 

The weekend was good however very labor intensive, my Suzie and I replaced the floor in our small camper as we ready it for the 80th Sturgis Bike Rally in August.

 

Love and Hugs for Everyone,

 

Mindy???

It’s kind of funny how something that little that should be a nuisance can be so gratifying. It just made me feel like even more of a woman. Even though it’s painful now haha

A few years ago I had a  racer back tank top tan lines. It was  great. It happens when you take off your shirt for a walk in the woods.

May your coming out be as uneventful as mine was.

 

 

Hi Jackie! My coming out has been sort of following a wonderfully consistent and happy pattern. I was thinking that I was having some of the "Shawna magic" rubbing off....... but things potentially took a southward dive, depending on how events unfold. My heretofore smooth gender reveal may be ruined by my ex-wife outing me in a court room. It's a Perfect Storm of circumstances surrounding a support issue. When I have a little time in the next few days, I'll post details. Hopefully someone here can give me some sage advice.

I am so sorry that you have to deal with that Patti Anne. The only advice I would give is stay confident, cool, and collective and of course, dress somewhat conservatively. You want to appear to be the level headed one of the bunch. I know these are obvious to anyone going into court with an ex present but it never hurts mentioning it. I wish you the best with this and hope to hear about how it went.

 

Good Luck,

Susan R?

Shawna is magic? What did you have to rub? (Suggestive eyebrow wiggle.)

 

I'm not sure what the situation is out West, but I hope you get a sympathetic judge. The kind that says, "And?" when your wife starts outing you like it makes you some kind of monster. I've only heard bits and pieces but your ex... she sounds like a real piece of work. Good luck! Fingers crossed!

 

Hugs!

Hi Pattie Anne I hope everything goes in your favor with your ex.

 

Well last night was interesting I came out to my brother in law who I was scared to death to tell him. His reaction was “Oh”. I don’t really know how well it went time will Tell he thought I needed to get a second opinion. My sister was there and said she was very concerned about my wellbeing because she hasn’t seen me much happier but everytime I see her I had been presenting male and it pretty much ruins my mood anymore and between the anxiety of having her husband find out was getting to me. She said she doesn’t know what to tell people because several have been asking questions and she doesn’t feel comfortable telling them. I just hope my brother in law comes around and will accept me for me.

It's the same judge that decided the divorce settlement that ruined me financially. He was a new judge at the time and it was his first or second divorce case. I'd imagine that he'll shut her down after she or her new attorney spouts, but by then the damage will be done. But, anything to draw blood. I'll go into detail tonight.

Good morning going to be hot here, over 100!

 

PattiAnne, I can’t imagine what she thinks she would gain by outing you.  The judge shouldn’t care and it shouldn’t make a difference in any ruling.  The only thing she gets is trying to embarrass you, and it could even backfire by turning the judge against her.

 

don't let it get you all twisted up.  Just go with confidence.  Is Family court even open to the public?

 

good luck

 

Willow

@Patti Anne I hope things go better than you are predicting. I hope your judge has learned about impartiality and following the law as prescribed without being influenced by bias an unrelated facts. Wishing you the best outcome.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
