Yeah he wants to make sure that nothing bad will happen by moving ahead in stages. I kinda like that but also hate it because I want the HRT like yesterday.. lol.

I get this.  But bad stuff really can happen.  Spiro nearly did me in.  Apparently this is unusual, but it was for real.  I am on HRT now and It is fine.  But things can be tricky.

Began the starting after lunch,took her for bra and panty shopping.Luckily I had my old breast forms I don't wear anymore worn once that fit her,gave them to her.Had a smile on her face trying on bras picking out a soft blue,pink,black and dark blue bra.Allison picked out the panties.She wanted to try on a pair of 2 inch hoop earrings,let her try on a pair of mine and loved it.Even tried on a pair of my 3 inch heels.Luckily I did sterilize them 2 weeks ago.My neighbor Nicole was a good help too,went to see her and Allison had a fun trying on clothes.Nicole decided to donate them to her,she gets clothes in as donations to resell.She loves to help out transgender kids.All skirts,jeans,tops,dresses she loved.Looks like she is living with me for the moment,ex doesn't want her back home yet.Going to the school tommorrow informing them on this and I know they will work things out with Allison and I.Plus her principal is great on taking care of the problems the transgender kids go through,it is not a slap on the wrist saying not to do it again.

 

That is so fantastic for her! I would totally be on cloud nine! She's really lucky to have someone like you in her life.

Morning everyone! Well, more like noon here actually. I'm feeling proud of myself for having managed to awkwardly schedule an appointment over the phone yesterday with my local GP to talk about GIC referral. My heart was racing afterwards, and I feel a bit daunted by everything that's yet to come, but I can't go on feeling this dysphoric all the time. I've done my grocery shop for the week, so I plan on making something nice for dinner and having a much-needed unwind. Have a great day folks ^^

Good morning,

My mood is a lot better today. It's also my 10 month HRT anniversary. Where has the time gone?

 

I'm still a little bummed about my therapist and I know I will find another. Even if that practice decided to reverse their decision I don't feel I could trust anything from them again, which really defeats the purpose. Gender therapist just seen so rare around me. I don't have a lot time to travel to go see one. I know most things are now done through tele-health these days but that won't be forever and I really like real face-to-face sessions.

 

In the meantime, I'm going to spend time on myself and get caught up on things around here while I search for a GT.

 

Have a great day everyone,

My morning cuppa in front of the topic.  Managed a peek at myself as well.  The cup is made by a dear friend who is a well known local potter. She was one of the first to embrace me as I transitioned.  Have a great day.

yesterday I managed to get some welding done on the dump truck before fixing a hydronic leak on the backhoe.  Such lady like pursuits?
 

Hugs,

Good morning! Have the day off to take my wife to the dentist and get some errands done.  
 

Happy 10 months Liz! You’re a couple days ahead of me, mines the 15th. 
 

Will have my cup of tea in a few, picked up a nice licorice spice herbal tea and a spiced apple one. Not sure which to try first. 
 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Hugs!

Hi ladies , I ,like Elizabeth was seeing a therapist.  I went to counseling because I was tired of being a cross dresser. I wanted my body to be more in line with how I felt. It was there I  found out about signed consent. I went through planned parenthood the first time. It really was pretty easy. Having to deal with the anxiety and fallout from my girlfriend, I quit. This time I'm seeing therapist, group gender counseling, tgaa and I have you wonderful ladies to talk to. My new pcp works with transgender patients. She's also helped me a lot.  I think we more than anyone, know what we want. When I started hrt1st time I was thrilled, after changes started. Reality of what I was doing set in. I realized I wouldn't be able to hide it,like I did cross dressing. Dealing with people is my biggest cause of anxiety and depression. Can't say enough about getting a good pcp,therapist  and support groups. I worked in the auto collision industry all my life Emily. I  cant even imagine trying to come out in front of them, it was hard enough trying to be a (real man) around them. I was good at what I did. Glad I'm retired, so I don't have that on my plate. I'm getting ready for what feels like round 2of my life, and finding out who I really am on the inside. Glag you girls are here.?

I think it more due to the possibility of trans people losing  their basic rights and by diagnosing them then they're basically on a list of people who can be discriminated against. Also without a diagnosis I can't get treatment. I have fear that GCS may be of the table. This  is assuming things go completely wrong.

 

Late to the responses here but find a new therapist. They're plenty that work online right now and with two sessions can "diagnose you" then it's part of your medical record.  If you need general therapy keep seeing the one you have for those things but see one that will work with your dysphoria one a month or two so that you can get a letter by the time you need it for GCS.  Surgeries will always be available although maybe out of pocket :(  Kaiser Permanente made a commitment to not change their Transgender care no matter what happens in the political arena so switching to them (and relocation) as a last resort might be an option if it came down to it.

I have this without enough potassium. Drinking water flushes it out of your system pretty quick. Water pills (like spiro) can flush it out of your system even faster. I've got naturally low-ish potassium anyway. Add some more sources of dietary potassium to your diet and see if the cramps go down, otherwise talk to your doctor in case it's something worse.

 

Hugs!

Spiro actually has the opposite effect, it a "potassium sparing " diuretic. K+ can actually get too high.   Too little K+ leads to muscle weakness vs cramps. However, too little magnesium can lead to cramps.  Stay hydrated,  eat plenty of green leafy veggies help regulate most of the electrolytes.  Epson salt baths with a little oil in the bath to help transport the magnesium in the salts through the skin are great for muscle cramps as well.

I know several ladies who went to work in the trades, one being my cousin Vic. She was the first in our family to embrace coming out as lesbian. The elders in the family never admitted that Vicki and Nancy were a couple, but they always proclaimed their love for both. Vic and Nancy are celebrating their 44th Anniversary this fall, and they're considered family elders now. My how times have changed, and I can't wait to see their reaction when I can no longer hide my transition. Oh and I will never give up my shop or tools.

 

Hugs,

Hey, my friends I have a question? In either communication or  interview I have told my perspective employer exactly why i am looking to move. Should I  continue doing  so. Or should I  hold back being informing them that  I am  transgender?

 

Currently looking at a position at the Harley dealer in Eugene. OR.

 

Kymmie 

Two thoughts:

1: Don't give an employer any reason to reject or discriminate against you.  Get the job on merits.   If you're not presenting as a woman FT, don't bring it up.  Once employed if you then start presenting they can't fire you legally.  Turn the question of why your moving to "I've always wanted to live in Oregon and highlight the beauty/weather of the state.  Never bring up personal issues in an interview. Always turn it positive.  They want someone to lift the rest of the team up so positivity pays. All employers discriminate (i own a biz so I try to dig deep into people's motivations and lives without technically crossing a legal line. I'm looking to see if this person will "fit" my team and it's culture). Let's say the hiring person could care less you're transgender but has a bunch of bigots on the team, does he/she want to create problems by bringing you into contact with them? It will lead to an HR problem and they know it so they don't hire you. Which leads me to #2

2. I know you have always been in the auto industry and feel comfortable with it, but a part manager has skills that translate into any warehouse management, inventory control or other related jobs. Historically and stereotyping here, auto/harley dealerships are not trans friendly.  Why put yourself through that challenge if you could work for a more liberal industry like healthcare, Amazon, Starbucks(not in the coffeehouse but distribution) etc.  This is an opportunity for you to start fresh in relationships, work and location. Why not "transition" in other areas as well.

Just my thoughts

Hugs and good luck

Wow, it took me an hour to get caught up here. I need to check things on the weekends apparently ;). My thoughts are with you all even when I'm not here.

My life was/is a rollercoaster this last 5 days.  

The good first:  I got my first electrolysis reimbursement from Kaiser yesterday!  Was concerned because they authorized 10 thirty minute sessions but I submitted my 60 and 90 minute ones combined. for a total of the 5 hours. They only charged me the $15 copays for the 4 sessions and reimbursed the rest. Boom.  Now if I can just get the reauthorizations more quickly. Still waiting after 2 weeks.   It's my 13th wedding anniversary and my wife gave me a "temporary" engagement ring until we can go the Gem and Jewelry show to have a custom one made! 

The bad.  My 82 year old father was admitted to the hospital with a "minor" pulmonary embolism. Not good for someone with emphysema/COPD. Stable but it's nerve racking.

My 22 year old daughter who moved in with us after deciding not to go back to school went missing for 4 days and was on a bender. She just got back from having to quarantine for almost a month after getting sick while partying in FL.  So- hard decision was made but we kicked her out of the house until she gets drug treatment and can make better choices.  I can't risk being exposed to Covid. It would shut my biz down and a dozen people would be out of work while I isolated. SHe knows that but refuses to play by our rules so... now she won't talk with me. Gonna be a rocky year or so with her probably.

@Bri2020love your rings - I've been buying and (mostly) not liking the thumb, index and toe rings I've been getting but I found some narrow rainbow colored ones I'm liking - but I love those. I love my wife and my Claddagh gold rings we got in Ireland although mine is now a little too big but they can't resize it.....

Not on me it didn't. My potassium levels cratered and my doctor put me on K-Tabs to make up for it.

@Bri2020you pass on so much good advice here, and like you I don't check in often enough to keep up with some of the conversations. My wife and I also had a troubled daughter who moved back home after a university transfer brought her to a local college. The "Our House Our Rules" situation caused us to kick her to the curb. It's tough love, but you have to do it. I told her the same thing I told her brother when he decided college or trade school wasn't in his future. "Go to the end of the driveway and make a left. Be the adult you claim to be. That was way back in 1997 for my son, and 2005 for my daughter. He's now a Battalion Chief with the City Fire Department, father of three teenagers, and still married to his high school sweetheart. My daughter never got her degree, however she married well, has two boys of her own, and I love my Son-In-Law. Today I couldn't be prouder of my family and the outlook for their future.

 

You can Love a family member and not like them.

 

Hugs, don't give up hope.

Hello All,

 

Another slow day at work, so I thought I would actually keep up with what is going on. I do have a trans peer support meeting this afternoon, which is kind of nice. Decided to do my makeup this morning along with dressing up. This might slowly become part of my routine eventually, start with a couple of days a week and build up from there.

 

@Bri2020 I like the new ring, it's beautiful. I have an Amber ring and a more neutral male ring now. My wife and I have talked about eventually replacing the Amber ring with real gems,but cubic zircon works for now, so I totally understand that sentiment. I am sorry you are having issues with your daughter, but it might just take some time for her to find her way.

Good Afternoon (late to the party)

 

Things continue to improve with healing since surgery. I’m 9 weeks post-op tomorrow and almost all swelling is gone. Was informed by my surgeons office I will need a revision in May unfortunately to fix my labia minora, but at least it is a quick surgery. 
 

About to prepare for my gynecologist appointment for another round of silver nitrate, bleeding has actually improved a good bit. So hoping one or two more treatments resolves it. 
 

Hope everyone has a great day. ?

Oh hey! That's great news! I mean not the revision, but I'm glad you're feeling better and the swelling's gone at 9 weeks. Mine persisted for a bit longer than that, but I bruise like a peach.

 

Speaking of morning chores, I have to go exercise mine. It's past time I actually started my day.

 

Hugs!

      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?

      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.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?
