I’m finally able to wear a thong the way a thing should be worn. Well, at least the way I think they should be worn. 

Before I couldn’t pull up the thong all the way up, both in the front and the rear. So it kinda looked, pardon the expression, “half assed.” Pun intended perhaps ?. Now I can pull it all the way up, and I also feel as my ass is filling in a bit more, I kinda noticed that a bit last night, ?. Oooo and squuueeee for my ass, I love my legs and I used to have a much better ass a bit ago when I used to run a bit more. It’s kinda funny tho, I keep looking and checking how it looks and feels the way it should. ???

I had my two week post-op check up and that was that. Crazy how time flies. 

Having a dream come true is an amazing feeling. I have been floating on air since the 6th and I think I’m going to keep floating. Never again will I have those things attached to me, and for that I will always be grateful!

While San Diego is in a June Gloom mood, I am in a Springly Tingly mood! Everyday that goes by after having my Orchiectomy, I feel wonderful! Yes, there is one thing left to do down there, Not having those two things there makes a world of difference. No matter what position, they remind you of their presence, gravity reminded me too. But now that it is pretty much fully healed there, 2 weeks later, i can move or not move and I do not feel them, no ghost feeling nothing. Without too much TMI, I had a simple itch, and I laughed cause while I was reaching up my skirt to scratch, my hand had to keep moving up, from where i would normally have already been scratching. ?

I can now pull my shorts up a lot higher than before. My 5" seamed shorts show off a lot more leg now. I think I will try on some clingy dresses that I have put to the side, and some cute mini skirts too. 

Sitting and standing with my legs closer together is definitely a plus! Nothing in the way, and it helps with walking, I dont need to walk around those things. Yes, I meant walk around, and in they got in the way while walking, even standing. No more, ty. 

After being on HRT and now the Orchie, that area is showing less and less, which is great, cause I want to wear a skirt at Pride next month, and things can show while walking into the wind, if you know what I mean. Im not talking about a gust of wind, lol. The only "bumps" i want to show are on my chest and my buns. Speaking of bumps, My nipples are getting bigger and are usually at full attention. Love it!

The growth of hair on my legs and body are slowing down a lot, especially on my legs.

My friend and I have noticed some mood changes, I have chilled a lot. Now that the T is gone, I can really feel that change, for the better, for sure. I tend to cry and get  a bit  "verklempt" as Mike Myers character would say on SNL's  "Coffee Talk with Linda Richman" , and I embrace it!

I recently had a visit with my Gender therapist, and discussed my progress and Orchie. I always enjoy our talks. I wish I could see her on a monthly basis, but she is needed more by others, and I’m willing to wait every three months or so. I’m sure if I asked or needed it, she would schedule me, ?

That’s a very long time between visits for sure. I see my therapist every 2-3 weeks. I’d be pretty lost without my visits. She helps me with so many things. Oddly it’s mostly things that aren’t part of my mental health, but physical health and finding services. Although we do talk a bit of transition as well. But my doctor, endo, electrologist, and now even gcs and ffs doctors have all been set up with her help. Heck even my wife sees her once a month now as well. What a great ally a gender therapist can be. I’m glad that you have had a good relationship with yours as well. After a lot of awful therapists I know how important it is to find the right one.

Hi Elllora,

Its very nice of you to be considerate of others.  Its so hard to see good therapists.  They are hard to find and when you do, they are booked out for months...

Two months ago June 6, I had my Orchiectomy. I’ve been waiting for that moment 49 of of my 53 year old self. That was the next best decision I made after starting my Lady Meds ?. Speaking of, Next week August 12th will mark my 5th month anniversary for starting my Lady Meds. I can’t wait for my 6 month mark, so I can get my 6 month blood draw. I’m very curious  to see the comparison to my 3 month numbers ?. Especially cause I am T free now. ?

Thanks for posting Ellora.  Leaving those bothersome bits behind has helped me a great deal as well.  Funny how the itching persisted.  I wasn't sure if there was an itch or simply a desire to be certain they hadn't come back.  Enjoy the new freedom.  Hope the new numbers are great!

 

Hugs,

Thank you!! You really should if you haven’t had one yet. It is super easy and fast healing compared to the full bottom surgery being done. I had a blood draw 5 days later, for my primary doctor visit, and was T free! Not only that, but my arm pit odor was totally gone too. I haven’t worn armpit deodorant since. Other than my own nose, I have my friend to vouch for me too. It’s weird, but great! I don’t smell like a man anymore, which also helps with my GD. I also don’t have to worry about sitting on those dam things, getting kicked, the sweat, never have to see them with or without clothes. Speaking of clothes, shorts, pants and thongs fit soooo much better. 

Health wise, I don’t have to worry about testicular cancer. Oh and my blood pressure has never been better! It has been consistently in the 114/70 range and that feels great. It was getting a little high for a while,  but not anymore! 

My temper has changed drastically too not having T anymore. I don’t get upset like I used to, and I know a little might have to do with less GD, but i think most of that came from the T. My sex drive isn’t as driven by T. My sex drive has come back, but I’m in control of it not the T. I don’t feel that sex is necessary to have all the time, or even at all. That doesn’t bother me, cause it feels better to be in control of myself. 

Also not taking Spiro anymore is great for my body too.

You should definitely look into getting an Orchie if you haven’t gotten one yet.

I have had all of that same stuff happen with only hrt. I haven’t had an orchie myself simply because I plan on full gcs hopefully within the next 18 months. And I have been told keeping all that stuff makes the surgery easier. (Think that depends on the surgeon)  But wish I could have one tho. I’d love to be rid of my t for good. 

I do love that underwear fits so much better tho! My ol boys now reside in my body 95% of the time from the hrt. They just end up heading north. ??‍♀️  

Congrats on 5 months!! Almost 1/2 a year already!!

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Service manager at goes through that here.One was a belt change in a 2019 Kenworth.It was written on the work order including a service done and I seen it.Customer was a complete a-hole.I did it and said he did not want that done.Shown him the original work order and finally said the service manager was right.My boss had to get rid of two customers,always complained about their bill being a little high.Price of parts went up due to inflation and had to explain this to them

      Well it not morning and I haven’t been on her for a while but it’s nice to be back.  Did some catching up on everyone.  I do have a question, how is Toronto Canada for a get away? Is it a safe and friendly area for us to go.  The wife and I are looking for some where to go to allow me to be my true self.     thanks in advance

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.
