Hi y’all! I’m Molly! I’m a 20 year old trans woman who currently lives in rural Texas. I love sharks, video games, reading, and writing. My datemate and I are hoping to move to Rhode Island by Christmas this year. 

 

I hope y’all don’t mind me doing a get-to-know you question. What is your favorite type of Shark?

Pleased to meet you Molly, I'm with you on the video games and reading... My favourite sharks are all on screen. Bruce from finding Nemo would be my fave :)

Hi Molly and welcome to the forums. My favorite shark would have to be the goblin shark. It’s not a looker, but has adapted amazingly for its environment.

Greetings Molly and welcome.  Quite a change, Texas to Rhode Island.  What's the occasion, school?  

 

I like Mako because they are sleek and fast but the Great White is awesome for its size and strength.  

 

Please join in the conversation!

Hi Molly,

Welcome to TransPulse. I'm glad you're here!

 

My favorite shark is any one that doesn't eat me! I did have a Silver Shark in an aquarium once.

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf?

Welcome, Molly! The Nurse Shark, because I'm a nurse. :) I found a fossilized shark tooth at the beach when I was teenager, and I keep it in my jewelry box. Have you ever seen one like this? Do you have some shark tooth jewelry?

Howdy Jani! Sorry for the late reply. We've decided to stay in Texas, but move to Austin. To be honest, I'm a bit scared of transitioning in this state. As a redneck who grew up in an extremely traditional southern family (think shooting by 3, being giving firearms for holidays), I've seen just how hateful and violent this state can be to trans folks.

Welcome Molly.  I've heard Austin is a great place.  Just please do be careful.

Glad you've joined us.

 

Hugs,

Hi Molly, welcome ?

 

Sharks are not really a big subject over here as we see few except for those on TV, but with my liking for dogs I look upon the dogfish with affection (even though it obviously has nothing to do with dogs lol). I also find the Hammer Head Shark interesting, particularly with its electrical field sensing.

Hi! I live in San Diego , and used to virtually live at the beach growing up. My parents dropped me and I friend off at La Jolla Shores early , and pick us up later in the day. I have seen sharks close up at the beach , to kinda close at Sea World. 

From time to time, hundreds of Leopard Sharks swarm La Jolla Shores as close as the shore line. Google “Hundreds of sharks swarm La Jolla shores. One day we heard about it after we arrived, and heard that Leopard sharks do not attack people, and that we were allowed to go in. Most people didn’t go in, and they certainly didn’t go boogie boarding like we did that day. It was the coolest thing ever. There definitely were hundreds, and they swam right past us, and we even swooshed past them when we caught some waves. Very fun and surreal. Apparently, they come in for schools of fish that swim close to the shoreline, and the water was warm too. Occasionally, a freak white will pass by, but they do not come that close, or the lifeguards would have warned everyone. For this reason, I pick Leopard shards, although I do like the whitetip sharks because they look kinda cool, and they also hang out at the kelp beds across the way at “The Cove.”

Hello!  I guess for favorite shark I'll go with Mako, because they share the same name as the voice actor for Aku and Uncle Iroh.

I think it’s called a thrasher shark? All I know it it’s got that giant top half of the back fin. They look like something out of an alien movie or something. Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the Forums, Molly.  I hope you find the answers to whatever questions you have, and not just about sharks.  On that subject, though, I like whale sharks, because they seem like really gentle creatures and are in great need of protection.

Hi Molly, good to meet you. Gotta say, I winced when I read you're in Texas. That is not an easy state to live in when your LBGT from what I've heard. Good luck with your goal to move north.

I was born and raised in Florida. I have a great respect for sharks. I had the privilege of diving with schools of sharks in Galapagos as a teenager. My favorite is the same as Carolyn's--the whale shark. I think it's incredible they get so big by eating plankton.

Molly,

 

My father owned a 19' cabin cruiser when I was in my teens.  We took a trip to Santa Catalina Island (Southern California) one day, and on the return trip there was this huge thresher breaching for no apparent reason.  Just as the boat pass over it came completely out of the water, and I was standing in the aft part of the boat watching.  It was so beautiful, and it seemed as big as the boat, though I am sure it was not.  So, that has to be my fav.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
