Toni's Tale

Recommended Posts

Well I was right, my friend was very accepting. In a charmingly simple way I might add! ❤️ He has been very preoccupied with finding a roommate at his new place, me and him are like besties and he's been trying real hard to convince me (I've been reluctant about this bc I just want my own apartment while I'm transitioning). So the apartment thing dominated the conversation. So when I (very shyly and hesitantly) told him I'm trans, he kinda went blank for a second, and then resumed with "So what? We should still be roommate's anyway!" It's cute how blunt he is... I think I was more preoccupied with telling my bestie about my gender, while his mind is all geared on finding a roomie he knows and trusts fast, lol! 

 

Everytime I brought up the gender thing, he kinda just shrugged it off and said like "That's cool.""Nothing wrong with that...". He's kinda a simple guy like that. I totally felt validated by the vibe he gave. 

 

It's funny. Just like with my ma, I got nervous and hesitant, blushing and all. Then I just blurt it out. Akward silence. Me, thinking "Oh no, I scared away a good friend with my coming out..!"... and then he's all like "We should get an apartment!" all blunt! 

 

Well I'm really on the fence about the apartment thing. But I'm so glad my bestie here is accepting of me! ❤️

I'm kinda hanging on to titles again. Early on when I rediscovering my gender, I was between an identity as androgynous and az transfeminine. Or heck, hyphenate it as androgynous-fem (surely one can't hyphenate everything, can they!?)!

 

And I was using he/his and they/them pronouns, bc of how I present. And I kinda have this inexplicable ability to carry and direct a conversation in such a way that pronouns (mine particularly, but also other's) don't come up. Maybe I just don't notice it. I don't socialize much anyway. But I'm very conceincious of avoiding assuming my or other's genders when I do. It's rather easy to change your grammar in such a way that is simple, natural and doesn't necessitate gendered pronouns. 

 

Lately though, I've primarily assumed she/her pronouns. They/them still kinda "feels" like it matches how I present.  But she/her totally feels right for me internally. Although there is this discord between these two aspects, I've been deliberately telling friends and acqaintances I'm out to to use female pronouns. So we can get used to using them. And it feels so damn validating and right when they do!

 

You don't really hear your pronouns that much though, do ya..? They're mostly used when referring to someone who isn't present or active on the dialogue. Usually in direct conversation referring to you, people just say 'you'... Yeah, you! 

 

I'ma post this and take a brief (indefinite?): intermission, before I get into tha gender stuff...

Transfeminine v Transgender Mtf? 

 

So lately, like with my pronouns, I've been fully embracing my identity as a woman... a trans woman. Or embracing the title anyway. Of course I still get called sir or gentleman by polite company who wouldn't know otherwise. 

 

In part out of simplicity. People aren't as familiar with the term transfeminine as they are with transgender. 

 

Btw, I personally never use the term transexual. To me it implies a sexual component to gender. That may not ne correct by definition. But I'm just referring to how the words appear

I have a tendency to get confused with the terms as they can mean slightly different things in the various countries and some are gender neutral and some gender specific. It sometimes literally means total gender confusion, at least to me. I imagine that the population in general has no idea of the specific meaning someone is trying to convey.

Impromptu trail off?.. I'm all about tha! 

 

Yeah, word Tracy! And

don't get me wrong I'm not like super anxious or caught up with it. I don't really fuss over all these silly words. I know what I am now, even if I don't always have a language for it. 

 

So, I've been identifying as transfeminine. I would love to be 100% woman. But I don't feel like I will/be able to fully transition. I dunno, sometimes the fight against the nature of gender feels overwhelming.

 

My androgenic hair I keep plucking and plucking, but it never stops. Shaving is so much worse, I get 5 o'clock shadow before noon and ingrown, stubbly hairs. At least with plucking I get a little over a day in the clear. 

 

I'm about ready to try depilatory cream for my torso. My body hair is less dysphoric for me. It's finer and usually covered fashionably anyway. Of course there's always that brief leap to and from the shower. 

 

I don't have time or finances for hair removal. I feel like it's a privilege I can't afford. My health insurance and schedule might afford me like ten hours, which I'm told can cover like a 1x1 in" area of skin, and I have alot of real estate. If I do this, I'ma focus on the lip perimeter and/or moustache. By far the thickest, most painful to pluck, most dysphoric area of all. I hear electrolysis hurts the worst there too. My doctor says the might use laser on the white hairs there though. 

 

I'm not interested in srs at this time. I'm not too dysphoric about down there. I am. But sometimes on occasion I enjoy their function. I do get rather intrigued at times by the thought of an inversion. It has a lot of hair follicles too, it would probably be difficult. I am considering an orchidectomy. I'm in no rush though. Kinda like my little ladyballs. 

 

So, there's aspects of me that are a struggle to change. I don't know if I'll be able to pass as pretty woman. I accept that. I'm pretty confident though. Beuty is in the eye of the beholder. But embracing being woman? I'm ready for that.

Electrolysis is unfortunately the only true permanent removal method. But every once in a while my girl plucks a hair after its zapped and the entire root comes out. It comes with a drop of blood and a week long scar. But it’s gone. So I’m sure if you’re plucking you’re getting a couple here and there. It’s just take like 100x longer I’d guess. But for the cost (mine is 60/ hour+) it’s well worth it. And the confidence is beyond anything monetary. 

 

As far as the labels, that’s all they are labels. Best not to worry. Unless it’s a thing for you. My wife gets seriously stuck on labels. Like the label of lesbian for her. But therapy helps. ??

 

As far as being “pretty” or even passable, that’s something for me at least that I didn’t know till after. Heck I still don’t think I pass, or that I am pretty, but I have gotten a LOT of interest from the opposite sex the last week or so. So I can only think that I pass now. ??‍♀️ I think we’re the last to know. And even if you think you’re unattractive, there’s lots of people out there that won’t think that. I tend to have a lot of black or Central America/Mexico/Brazilian men that seem interested. And honestly I’m liking the attention. Why not right?! #girlpower. 

 

Try not to worry about the future Toni. The future isn’t real. It’s just an idea or a thought of what may be. But we don’t know. So worry about today and see what tomorrow brings. 

 

In the wise words of whinnie the Pooh. 

 

What day is it? 

(CR) it’s today. 

Oh. My favorite day. 

(CR) mine too. 

Yesterday when it was tomorrow, it was too much day for me. 

 

So true. Live today. Not tomorrow. Let tomorrow tell you what will happen. You’ll be much better off.

Thank you for all your kind words and support! 

 

Gotta love that feeling of being flirted with. It comes out of left field and feels so validating. I blush everytime it happens. 

 

I've heard that or some variation before (you perhaps). We are the last to know, huh! I think we're more conscience of ourselves than other are of us. Same for anyone I suppose. It's good to remember this and not let one's self image be skewed,

I had my first monthly follow up with my transgender clinic primary. I really enjoy talking with her. She's very friendly, eager to hear my stories, and more than willing to do whatever to help me. The clinic is quite reknowned in my area for helping transgender folk with the resources and medical care they need. 

 

I relapsed and got kicked out of my treatment yesterday. I started drinking again bc that industrial laundry job was so draining and painful, I was miserable. There and at the treatment. But my best friend, from treatment, stuck by my side the whole afternoon and evening. He made a bunch of calls and pulled a few strings, got me into a sober house last night. He truly is like my best friend ever ❤️

It's been a crazy past couple days. I was concerned I was gonna be an unemployed, homeless, drunk trans woman on the chilly rainy streets. 

 

But I am yet again in sober Christian male communal living. Living with a bunch of cishet dudes. Living as a cishet dude... There's alot of recruired programming, no time to find a full time job. I feel like I'm in this trap set up by the rehabilitation program complex, and at large, the socio-economic systems agenda... this is Hell for me.

Ugh, I don't want to go back now. I don't want to pretend to be a dude, amongst a bunch of bros... 

 

My ma's been calling me her daughter and says she worries about her girl. It's cute and makes me giddy. Its great how supportive and accepting she is of this!

I went shopping today! After this crazy past week, I just had to treat myself. Here's some of the girly, therapeutic things I bought: 

 

-Nair lotion (I did a post about it in the MtF Hair Removal section)

-an herbal sleep aid (girl needs her beauty sleep)

-a woman's multi-vitamin (need that +vit d)

-a pretty, green leather sketchbook to draw girly things in, journal, write poetry or whatever (it folds up, kinda feels like I'm carrying a hand purse)

-a few string cheeses and a bar of dark chocolate that I totally smashed... 

and

-salad stuff: spinach, arugula, chard, schezuan sauce, basil, sunflower seeds and flaked parmesan regiano (trying to eat healthier and do some light 2:1 intermittent fasting, get into my summer bod)

 

Girl's gotta take care of herself ❤️

So the sober house I'm at now has two different outpatient treatment programs they refer to and recquire. I was asking a guy there about the two locations. He said (cw: transphobia) "... don't go to that one though. It's weird. There's alot of boys who think they are girls and girls who think they are boys" and then something about gtfo y'all got d's, or whatever. I just scoffed... 

 

But in my head I was like "Alright, let's check it out!" Who knows, maybe they can help me find a trans friendly residence.

Some people's advice about what NOT to do often turns out to be our best advice if we do just the opposite.

So I googled and made some calls. There are a few lgbtq trans friendly sober houses around after all! I gave my contact info to the house manager line. 

 

I'm excited! I might finally have a chance to live in an environment where I can be out and open, and not constantly exposed to incels and transphobia. This could help me be able to freely embrace my femininity openly, and help keep me sober.

I feel like transitioning is almost a privilege, if not a luxury. With state health insurance, I can afford hrt, primary and therapy. Probably voice lessons, maybe some permanent hair removal (awaiting a consult). 

 

I am still for now living in an all male sober house, assuming the facade. I'm not too dysphoric in this moment though. I'm sitting alone on the couch watching Star Trek, the fresh evening spring breeze blowing in the window. The dudes are elsewhere, I have the room to myself and I'm here expressing this stream of thoughts to y'all. I'm just grateful to be back on track with my sobriety and have a place to stay. Yet I'm hopeful I can get into one of these trans friendly houses and finally feel able to live as me openly. 

 

If it wasn't for the sober house network, I'd be homeless again. I've known a few homeless transwoman. It's rough. Dirty and tired, body hair and beard and not made up bc there's no place or time to groom, always on the move bc cops kick them out of every camp... As much as I lament having to hide about having to hide amongst cishets, I'm blessed for what I do have, and my heart goes out to all our sisters suffering on the streets, sigh... :.;

 

We all have struggles, nobody knows the whole story. But we can still feel empathy... Despite feeling like poor trash, like I can never reach my goals in life, like I'm forever struggling against the tide. Like transition is a luxury I can't afford... I'm not giving up without a fight! I might never truly be happy &/or truly a woman. But I was and will never be a happy man, there is no going back now! I will Nair and pluck my hair forever if I must, I will not stop!

 

I'm quite content with where I'm at and the direction I'm going. And I'm strong in my convictions.

I came out publicly on my page on my social media account last night. 

 

It was a brief "I'm transgender, here are my pronouns" blunt statement. Followed by a three paragraphish synopsis of my trans story, which I've already hashed out in detail here. I might copy paste it to the Coming Out letters thread. 

 

I haven't checked fb yet. But last night I immediately got a slew of love and support from many of my friends, who I knew would be accepting. I finally did this since I moved out of cishet male christian treatment. It feels good to finally (more or less) be fully out! 

 

❤️ Stay Lovely y'all!

I had this dream last night. It's a recurring dream. I was in a street, and I was losing. Getting beat, badly. All my punches and kicks were ineffective, like my extremities were soft as pillows. Interestingly I was shoken awake being knocked out in the dream simultaneous to a thunder storm irl before dawn. 

 

This is a recurring dream for me. I used to be in Muay Thai and been in many fights on the streets. There's like this preoccupation with struggle. 

 

What was different this time though was I distinctly recall being a woman in this dream, and it was a central theme in it. Fighting/getting beat by a man. 

 

I wasn't all to shaken up about it. Interestingly, more motably, I felt validated by being physically weaker/more feminine than my opponent. 

 

I accept whatever challenges may come. I live my whole life with a fighting spirit. I like to think I carry this fighting spirit into my transition... 

 

Love ❤️ Peace

Hopefully you will soon have peaceful dreams where fighting as a woman isn't necessary.  For me acceptance was at least as important as the fight to transition.  I have had to, and still sometimes need to , stand up for myself.  That being said the journey is easier for me if i try to relax and go with the flow.  

Enjoy!

 

Hugs,

Yes! I am enjoying it so far. I wish I could be out more. But I am being patient with my transition, letting the hrt take it's course. I'm trying to be patient in other areas of my life as well and see it all as one big part of the whole.

Hi Toni,

 

Your must be a terrifying experience! As Charlize said, hopefully soon you'll be able to shake these dreams and sleep peacefully at night. Best wishes!

 

Hugs, peace and much love,

DysphoriUGH! 

 

I feel like I'm at war with my androgenic face/body hair. I spent like three hours plucking my face alone and there's still stubble on my neck area. I aggressively Nair'd all my abdomenal hair away. Maybe I'm on my "man period"... 

 

It's causing a lot of anxiety and apprehension. Depression even, like, I've been feeling hopeless that I'll never pass or be able to look feminine enough. Perhaps like most body dysphoria/dysmorphia, this is my skewed view, and I need to open up my perception of myself. I can get my skin to appear glaborous enough, but whenever I graze the light stubble it triggers my anxiety, and I know I'm gonna have to bust out my tweezers and go to war again. Electrolysis/laser consult is next week, but even if my insurance is approved, it's still gonna be a long slow process. I'll never give up my androgenic hair removal efforts, it's so core to my anxiety I have to eliminate it! 

 

I so wish to be a woman. But I see overwhelming obstacles to achieving that. I may have to learn to be content with being transfeminine. Identitying as a woman, but one with a few subtle (on a good day) intrinsic male qualities. Like, super femme androgyny. And you know..? I think I'm ok with that... 

 

My ma has been calling me her daughter. It's so cute! She's totally accepted my identity and taken to it, yep! I'm her cute, hairy little girl.. *vague sigh* ❤️

Hairy and restless

Idk how true it is or not, but yesterday I was talking to my electrologist about plucking and she said it’s one of the worst things you can do. It actually creates thicker more stubborn hair. 

I asked because I see so many people say they’re plucking and I was thinking of doing the same. But after hearing that I say no way. I don’t need thicker or stronger beard hairs. Lol. Something to think about. Maybe do some research on it too. 

Link to comment

I read often that plucking makes the hair finer. This is the assumption I had gone by for over 12 years now. There must be something to that though. Perhaps the articles I read were referring to female vellous hair. My beard is by far the worst. 

 

I just can't stand the stubble after shaving. Even if it's close, it still goes 5 o'clock shadow before noon. 

 

I think it's finally under control and relaxed today anyway. Have a good day and y'all!

Tweezing is not likely to influence or cause diameter changes to hair texture,” says Cunnane Phillips. “Hormonal variables and genetic predisposition are much more likely to be at play.””

That has been the general consensus after looking quickly on Google. I’m sure the person was saying it, to help their own employment status.

I’ve been epilating ( on most of my body hair below my neckline) , which is like a bunch of small tweezers doing some mad mother plucking, ?. All the areas that I epilate, have slowed the growth, made the hair thinner and sparse. I wish I could epilate on my face, but it hurts more than it’s worth .

I tweeze my facial hairs and some areas on my body, and around my nipples, and they do not grow back thicker. They either stay the same, grow back more slowly, or not at all.

      ss,   I can't say that my image in the mirror has helped me understand why I am bi-gender.  I'm pretty certain the reason I identify as bi-gender  has to do with how I feel inside.  About mirrors though, I do clearly see my inner woman when I look at myself in the mirror.

      The tornado called Taylor ripped through Bob's apartment. After a trip to a laundromat, two trips to grocery stores for cleaning supplies and what Taylor opined were Basic Staples, everything was scrubbed within an inch of its life.  A new dish  drainer with a new hand towel and dish cloth were by the side of the scrubbed out sink; motorcycle parts were in a box under the newly made bed.  Floor, shower, toilet, sink had been hit in the bathroom and new towels hung there the way Taylor liked them. "I don't recognize the place/" "So move out." Taylor was sitting on one of the new kitchen chairs.  There were four of them around the little wooden table.  In the middle was a flower arrangement.  Bob had made his last trip to the dumpster.  Not a pizza box remained. A row of card board boxes with books had been replaced by shelves full of neatly arranged books. "Look at this." "I am not going to do this all the time.  You clean your own place from now on. I am bushed." "Many thanks, babe." "No problem, Big Guy." "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about exercise.  Karate in particular."  He pronounced it ka-ra-tay. "I am a second Dan black belt and there is a certain obligation there to teach other people." "Kara-tay? I don't know." "A friend of mine runs a dojo here and needs my help. He talked to me already.  Tuesday and Thursday night and Saturday mornings." "Oh.  So you will be there then." She looked disappointed. "I'm hoping you will be there." "Sounds dangerous.  But I could use the exercise." "And self-defense would be good. It might help." "It might. Huh.  Saturday morning?" "8 AM I need to be there. Classes run until noon. I don't need to be there the whole time." "Is there an intro class or anything?" "Yes. 10 to 11." "How about if I try that."  She was not very enthusiastic.  Punches and kicks and stuff.   Saturday morning they arrived together.  She wanted to watch the Green Belt class that met then just to see what she was in for. Sensei Mark came to the front of the room, before the big American and Japanese flags. Between them was a picture.  "I am honored to introduce to you Sensei Bob.  He is a second Dan black belt.  He has actually beaten me in tournaments.  I have known him through tournaments.  You will listen to him as you listen to me.   Sensei Bob, take the class. The two sensei bowed to each other.  Sensei Bob pointed out that Sensei Mark had beaten him, as well. Taylor was sort of standing against the back wall, scrunched up, a mouse in her crisp new beltless gi.  Her t-shirt was off white underneath it and she was hoping no one would notice. "I am Sensei Mark. You are Taylor." "Yes, sensei!" she stood at attention and shouted it. He laughed.  "This is not Cobra Kai and we are not in a Karate Kind movie.  You do that here only between bows.  Bob tells me you are a complete beginner." "That is an understatement." "Here, let me fix your gi."  She had it on a little incorrectly.  She drew back. "What's the matter?" "I am pretty touchy." "Okay.  Untie the straps in front and tie them the other way, like mine." "I don't have a belt." "There. That is right. You will get a belt after three months and passing tests on kata, kumite and karate knowledge." "I don't know what that is." "And we touch a lot here.  Not romantically. You see how Sensei Bob is going around and adjusting people's stances and arm locations." "Yes, I see that." No enthusiasm. "You are Sensei Bob's girl, right?" "Yes.  What is important to him is important to me, so here I am."  He wished her well and told her to go see Margie, who handled registration at the little table. "Hi, I heard about you." Margie began. "What does that mean?" "It means we treat everyone here with respect.  That was the wrong way to start." "I'll say. Try again." "Good morning. How can I help you?" "I want to register for the beginner class." "You are Taylor, right?" "Right." "Sensei Bob paid for your lesson today." He would. She gave name, address, age, height, weight, and they came to gender. Margie asked it twice. "Put down female." "The only other choice is male." "Then that is it." "Earlier I was thinking about tournaments, which are big here. The rules are that boys fight boys and girls fight girls - there are Men's and Women's Divisions.  I know you look like a woman, but they go by the birth certificate." This was awkward.  Really awkward.  Down at the other end of the room they were moving in unison when Bob said HAI!, turning, punching, kicking, etc. "I don't plan to go to tournaments.  One step at a time, shall we?" "Okay.  And I meant it when I said respect.  We bow to each other.  You will see. As a sign of honoring other people." Margie bowed slightly, sitting down.  Taylor returned the bow and smiled. The class moved into sparring, breaking into twos and practicing moves against each other.  Bob was moving among the pairs, adjusting positions of hands, hips, feet.  Taylor was unsure about someone touching her like that, her hips particularly.    The green belt class ended as new students came in for the beginners' class. Down at the other end the brown belt class began.  The room was large enough you could do two classes at the same time.   The other beginners, nervous, lined up at Margie's table.  People got into gis, the men in their big area and only woman in the little restroom that was for them.   Sensei Mark greeted them and showed them where to stand: on the little x's on the floor. He explained the School Code.  They would recite it at the beginning of class and they needed to memorize it for the white belt test, at which time they would, of course, receive a white belt. He explained some terms.    They warmed up with some basic, easy stretches.   They learned a kata called Taikyoku Shodan, involving blocks, punches and some movements. This was not bad.   She was now paired off with Judy.  Things were going well and this was not too bad. Judy was sixty years old and had been told to exercise by her doctor.  Taylor said her boyfriend was teaching the other class, which was impressive, and he wanted her involved.   "You remember the gedan barai - downward block?"  They did. Everyone showed him and he went around and made sure everyone had it down. "And the lunge punch?"  They did. "Now we are going to put them together. One of you will punch and the other block it. Okay?"   Taylor squared off against Judy.  Her heart was pounding.  She practiced her gedan barai as Judy practiced her lower lunge punch.  Then they faced each other. "Okay, first partner, lunge punch.  Second partner, lower block.  Slowly.  Go!" Taylor saw the punch coming at her, but instead of blocking it her eyes welled up with tears and she dropped to the floor, weeping uncontrollably. "Oh God, Oh, God, Oh God, make it stop, make it stop" she shouted to parties unseen. Fetal position, rocking back and forth. Crying hysterically. "I didn't go near her," Judy said, bewildered. "Taylor?"  this was Sensei Bob.  Both classes had stopped and were looking at her. She kept crying. "I am here, "Bob told her, not touching.  "Oh Bob you need a wife who can be a real woman to you. I am making you into a monk or something." And she continued crying at full volume. "You need someone better than me, someone who can give you kids." Everyone could hear this.  They were turning away, trying to pretend they could not hear this. "I need to get her out of here and take her." Bob said, and he and Mark bowed to each other. He scooped her up and she bawled into his shoulder.  She clung to him.  First hug ever. Death grip, more like it. "Judy, would you get her things?" "I did nothing," Judy said, and moved towards the restroom, stunned.  "Nothing." "I know what she was wearing," Margie said, and got them. "I've got a gym bag. It 's red and it says Roosters on it. Can you get it? Mark got it.  He accompanied them to the car.  Taylor was non-stop crying deeply, clinging to him for dear life. Mark unlocked the car and together they managed to pry Taylor off of him, even though it took both of them to do it.  She was in the car seat and they managed to buckle her in it. "I am going to take you to your apartment," he said. "No. Emergency room," she said. "Maybe the psych ward."  He didn't doubt it. She calmed down in a few minutes on the way. "Well, that was embarrassing." "Everyone remembers their first day of karate class." "Bob, what I love about you is your sense of humor." "I love everything about you." "Even this?" "Yes. Even this." She managed to walk into the ER.  They were both still in gis. "Karate accident?" "No. I am Taylor and I am a nut. I wear a gi all the time. I make my boyfriend wear one, too." "She had a triggered event.  She's had some difficult times." "I see. Do you you know are bleeding?" "No."  Her crotch was wet with blood and the blood was seeping down both legs. She was wheeled away. "Sir, please wait here." He did.  He had no legal right to see her right now. After a while a nurse came out and said he could come on  back. There she was in a hospital gown.  "Seems like old times." "yeah.  We gotta stop meeting like this." The nurse buzzed around and left them. "They are running tests." "I bet they are." "I got an MRI. On a Saturday morning, too."  First ever. "You rate.  But why?" "They figure some of the old scar tissue - you know, from the- from the past - ripped open and they need to see what is going on." "We know what is going on,"said a doctor, stepping in. He looked at her. "I am Doctor Michaels.  They called me in.  I just happened to be in the building and they wanted me to see this and take the case.  My specialty is Disorders of Sexual Development. But what I am seeing is little in the way of disorder.  Look at this." They looked at the image. "This is a perfectly ordinary uterus." "Uterus?" "Yes, your uterus." "What?" "That is not all.  This is a cervix, and this is a vagina." "It's blocked up." "Yes.  It looks like you had surgery to do exactly that when you were an infant.  They used to do that." "This is me?" "You." "Really?" "I imagine this takes some getting used to. "Can it be undone?" "Absolutely. I mean, I cannot guarantee it, but it is more than likely. I would like to run some tests." "And the bleeding?" "It looks like the hormones you have been taking have kicked of a regular monthly cycle. Then you did a whole bunch of exercise.  Not surprising." "What?" "I want you to come to my office next week for follow-up.  Have you ever had a genetic test of any sort?" "No." "Well, your testes - one looks at first glance more like an ovary." "Ovary. Can I have kids?" "Too soon to tell.  You look happy." She did.  "Bob, you look stunned." "I am." "Given what happened earlier today we want to keep you overnight for observation.  I understand you are a trauma victim and something triggered it." "I got a punch thrown at me in kara-tay class, is all. I am a wimp." "Well, I will let you two talk for a minute and they will come and get you shortly.  No bad news here." "They are coming to take me away, hah-hah, they are coming to take me away," Taylor chanted. "Bob, I am not done with kara-tay.  I want to at least finish a first class. I mean, you paid for it and I want you to get your money's worth." "I think I got that." "Kiss me, you fool,"  she said, and he did, with energy.

      The one thing about this position, if you want more hours just wait and be flexible.  I’m now working until 7:30 pm instead of 4:30.

      Welcome Mattie! I would recommend the first step is finding a gender therapist and see if you are or aren't. Then one of the biggest steps if you are do you want to start hormone replacement therapy. The decision should be thought long and hard. There are irreversible effects. Looking forward to your next post! Take care!
