That is super great news. I am excited for you. I am waiting for news therapist to get my referral letter and want to see if my old psych will also help me. Congrats.

Awesome news @ElizabethStar!

 

So my day started a little down but then I get to my clinic to open up for the day and find a note saying "Follow the Balloons Bri". SO there's a trail of balloons throughout the whole clinic leading to the back break room which is completely decorated with streamers, balloons and other party decor and a big banner saying "Welcome Bri" and a tiara sitting under it and a couple of balloons with "It's a girl" on them.   My staff threw a Gender Reveal Party for me! (insert crying mess here). I truly do have the best people around me.  What a way to start my day.

@KymmieL I hope it doesn’t come to leaving your son and wife behind, but If  I recall they teamed up Against you some time back so I understand your concerns.  My wife tries to accept me but can only take so much. She is slowly getting better.  Still hoping the Portland job will come through for you.

 

@Bri2020 so happy for you.

Good Morning everyone. With some work it looks like I will be able to leave on our trip later today. Got some good advice from my therapist yesterday. Hopefully doesn't come to that.

Looks like we are riding into some nice weather. while I won't have my laptop on the trip. Will be able to keep in touch with TP on my phone.

Good morning 

 

Kymmie, be safe on your ride and I hope everything goes ok with your son.

 

So I had my group meeting via zoom last night.  I do find it’s helpful to have others to talk to and get others ideas.  
 

i wore a blouse and pants we had bought for my wife, but it didn’t fit her.  Unfortunately I tend to inherit things that don’t fit her right.  Even on me it was a little tight.  I asked if she thought the top looked ok.  Her suggestion was to take out my breast forms so my breasts wouldn’t be as big.  I took her advice it did look better but she looks at me and asks if my breasts were growing?  My bra was molded cups so it didn’t make a lot of difference so I showed her.  She looks at me and decided she didn’t see breast growth. (I know she is sensitive to that). When ever she questions that, I get out the taylors tape and measure around my breasts.  Low and behold I now have a full inch more!  Good for me, not for her.

 

enjoy your weekend.

 

hugs

Coffee is long gone but emotional upswing is going strong ? Had one of the best Fridays. It all started with a visit to DMV. I finally found time to update my license with my new name. When they saw the name I was changing to, the tone of voice and attitude switched from candlelight to electric bulb ? I was getting "sweetie"and  "honey" constantly, and actually had nice chat about random things. Right after, I stopped at the bank to update account and card and the lady there was also much more chatty when she saw my name. And on top of it, when she called other department she was referring about me using "she" which was completely unexpected but so heartwarming. ?

Now, where else can I go and update my name? Teehehehehe

 

? To the great weekend.

Congratulations on getting your license updated!  Isn't it nice when you can feel the good vibes from total strangers?

 

I think a lot of people go out of their way to be nice to trans people.  It's hard to be stealth when you are updating your name in their records, so it's not like they don't know.  They are just nice people.  It is so heart-warming to experience it, and to hear you describing it.

 

Thank you for posting about it.  You made my day. :D

Thank you for kind words ? It is absolutely wonderful to use the new name and hear it back.

While I was using it at work to get people accustomed for the last few months, it has more satisfying ring to it when it's supported by official paperwork ?

Yes, it is nice to be called by your new name instead of a dead name.  I get called Willow at group by everyone which is nice.  by some close friends that know Willow and by my wife occasionally but that usually a little snarky since she doesn't like Willow.  Doctors will call me by that name if I am appropriately dressed and not when I'm not.  

 

Spent most of the day at the beach.  It was a nice day.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
