@Bri2020 ha! I love me some good leftovers! Super excited to hear about your telling your father and it going so well! I will say, the last 2 years of my life have been very hectic with my transition. It’s always appointments, blood work, therapy, now recovery and planning what is next in my journey! It gets better though!

It is a beautiful day here in NJ.  Sunny with a light breeze.  74 degrees.......lovely especially after the storm two nights ago that dropped 3+ inches of rain in 1/2 hr.   Pity i you;dn't have sent that one to somewhere with fires ranging.

 

Hugs,

It's been cold and rainy here all day. I'm just staying in my pj's and drinking coffee. I feel like we skipped Autumn, I'm not ready for winter.

I am just glad the dew point has got out of the 70's here. We had some rain long with a temperature drop, but the humidity is the worst part where I live.

 

Those on the West coast, stay safe. I'm praying the fires get contained soon.

 

Hugs,

Mike

Just had a lovely brewed coffee and looking out into the green hills on this beautiful spring morning.

It's hard to see any remnants of the fires last Christmas. Maybe a burnt tree stump among the green grass.

I hope everyone over there is as blessed as we were and they stay safe and well. Property can be replaced lives cannot.

 

Hugs

Happy last day of the weekend. Of course it isn't mine.

 

Hugs to all my friends

Just waking up for the second time this morning. Starting my vacation, stopping the night at my Grandma’s house. It is hard to see her in the mental state she is in, as she is starting to get pretty far along with dementia.

 

I have also been given crap though for my longer hair which is now shoulder length. I guess it is something I am going to have to simply get used to for the week.

Family is good at that. I made it a point to let my family know that my employer doesn't have a problem with it.

 

On a side note. I got a call from HR at the end of the day on Friday regarding changing everything to my preferred name. Aside from drafting a letter to go out to company they are writing company policies for including  members of the LGBTQIA community.

@ElizabethStar,

    It is really great that you have been treated fair and with respect by your work. You've helped each person that joins the company in future too. This is the kind of progress the community desperately needs. That's something to be proud of for sure.

Thanks @Abi.

 

I'm happy they're doing it. I know there were complaints a few years ago when I was just getting my feet wet by growing out my hair and a little cross-dressing. Maybe a lot of complaints. I had a meeting with 2 managers. I consider them both friends so it was casual but they were told to tell me to stop CD-ing. It was very awkward for all of us and I'm pretty sure they could see the tears I was trying to hold back. Nothing was ever enforced and it never came up again. Later I found out it came from another member (self proclaimed homophobic) of management who was trying to make his own policies without consulting HR.

Morning girls. Hope everyone has a great day. I heard from my ex-girlfriend last night. She said she misses me.   Think there's any hope?

Don't be silly. There's always hope.

 

Unless, of course, that was a pun because her name is hope. In which case, shame on you. ?

 

Hugs!

Thanks, her name is Mary. We had a discussion the other night. She says I'm a totally different person in female personna. I told her I was the same person. If she couldn't accept it, then we don't stand a chance.

I don't think that's really true. You're the same person, just different parts of you are at the fore when you're being yourself than when you're wearing your male persona. I know my core personality is the same, just different bits get accented.

 

Hugs!

We are the same person before and after, but we do change.  My wife noticed that I am less uptight, and thinks I am more fun to be with than I was before.  Still me, but a happier me.

My girlfriend doesn't like my female side.She says she fell in love with a guy. I envy you girls who's partners are accepting and loving.

@KathyLauren although my wife hasn't said so - I can tell she likes the real me better and we talk more and I finally have shown interest in cooking and she was amazed. I don't have a great sense of smell so food was mainly to stay alive (even during my anorexic days) - but HRT has actually improved my sense of smell (not a lot but noticeable) and I am interested in giving my wife a break from cooking AND I actually am enjoying shopping more - who'd a thought.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      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.

      <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>

      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 shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "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.
