Shawna, we see it last.  Very nice!

 

As to your dentist wanting your medical record.  This is important as they see changes in our health that might go unnoticed.  I had my semi-annual visit earlier this week.  On the medical history document I review and update each time there is a question about a specific type of medication which I happen to have just started.  We ended up discussing it for a moment.   

 

Before any major surgical procedure most surgeons during the pre-op consultation will suggest that you have a full dental checkup and x-rays as any infection in the mouth will compromise the pending surgery and possibly become a huge problem.

Not sure if this counts here but I found my strength and resolve last night.  I am not going to be held down. Put conditions on me.  Time lines or even who I decide to tell or not and when.  It felt good and it made me smile inside feeling my female get her dander up and take a stand.  
Hoping for a good positive talk this weekend with my wife but prepared for battle!!!

While moving all my things out of our bedroom into the spare room my wife seemed to find a bit more acceptance for me today.  She gave me advice on how women do certain things even gave me some feminine things for the shower and picked out flowery pillow cases for my bed.
It felt wonderful.  It made me smile.

Well it was on Halloween before my wife and son started in. I had a laser appointment in Ft Collins. I decided to dress how I feel, female. So I wore gray sweater dress, matching leggings, low boots, changed my ear rings to a Halloween set.

 

All the time I was out and about in Both Ft. Collins and Cheyenne. I felt free, not nervous. It was a great feeling. I had no problems walking into anywhere. The Cheyenne VA is were I feel the most accepted. The VA acceptance policy makes me feel fantastic. I can even use the ladies room. (there policy is you can use the restroom of the sex you identify as) After my VA visit I got lunch at the Burger King. The young lady at the counter treated me as a lady. Not even any weird looks while I was eating. The whole trip out was great.

 

It was later that night when the deification hit the rotary oscillator.

Had a great encounter with another woman on the elevator. She loved my coat and thought it was hilarious when I answered back, "Thank you, it covers up most of my flaws." She wants one for herself.

 

Also got the door held for me by two guys at the gas station and I got the appropriate ma'am, but that wasn't as much fun as elevator woman.

 

Hugs!

I have often used the ladies room at VA even though I don't present female, although a lot of genetic females dress much the same as me as I'm into layering, so no one has ever raised their eyebrows at me over it. My reasoning is normally based on the fact that some male has tied up the men's room while taking lengthy dump a reading a magazine. @#%&*!

In the shop yesterday. I was serving a lady. When she stopped me and asked how do i get my nails looking so good.

 

It was quite a lovely compliment as i always do my own. Never been to one of thoss enail bar type things.

 

So i explained to her what i use and how i prepare them pre painting. i think her next stop was going to be to pick up some base and top coat.

 

Gave me a warm fuzzy feeling  As I have commented on others but rarely get one back concerning nails.

This happened yesterday.  Went shopping for winter boots for me.  All I own is steel toed hiker looking boots I was issued at various employments.  Not only are the highly used looking but steel toed uninsulated boots are not good in snow and cold weather of Vermont.  
My wife and I were looking but we were not finding anything in men’s.  I wasn’t looking very hard because I naturally wanted a womens style.
She then looks at me and says.  “You want to go check out the women’s section?”   I’m like Yes!!!  
So we did.  I didn’t even feel uncomfortable and no one even looked at me funny. I was full on guy mode but dressed somewhat nice and maybe on a feminine side.   We both tried on several pairs and I found a nice Sorel insulated boot pink n grey.  I loved them.  She bought them for me.  I was shocked.  
Then we went to find her some flannel pants for around then house.  I ended up getting a pair too and some leggings both in a small size.  She bought those too.  Holy crap really?!?!   I was surprised as she was buying mediums for herself.  Lol

It was a wonderful trip.  It made me smile ear to ear.

Wonderful, and a sign of things to come between you both perhaps! First thing my wife bought me was a pair of leggings which I initially wore like long johns under my jeans during cold weather. She said, "OMG you have such nice legs, too bad you don't wear them outside!" Then she bought me a pair of women's size 11 BearPaw boots, a less expensive version of Uggs, and a few heavy cotton Henley pullovers. Worn in combo I look as good if not better than many females except my face screams "Male." Then she had lost some weight and put several pair of her size 12 jeans in the Goodwill bag and I said, "-what the heck- they are like new!" She said, "Try them on then!" It turned out that they fit better than any men's jeans and looked great on me. I eventually lost some extra weight and now wear size 10's, we go shopping together. I have a number of Rhonda Shear Aah Bras and Coobie Bras that do me a great justice too which I buy online under her name. Being non-binary I usually wear big Hawaiian style shirts during the warmer months and a jacket, hoodie or vest during the Fall/Winter months in order to maintain a rather stealth but androgynous look in public as I'd rather not have the boobs make too much of a visual statement for gawkers.

@Jackie C. Lovely rich colour. I like them a lot.  I also like your nail shape

 

Thank you Jackie. I am lucky enough to have nails i can do myself to a reasonable standard. It wasnt always the case. I have taught myself how. But be assured my first efforts were nothing like the semi skill i have in that department.

Shawna; Awesome news on the acceptance from your nearest and dearest. Post a picture of those boots if you can. Love to see them ?

 

 

Just a smal piece of happiness today. It is always nice when something is justified.

 

My voice. If you look back its one of those things i did with only the therapy of singing to Annie Lennox in the car and just working  hard to get it just right.

Since perfecting it. I have never really had it questioned like talking on the phone and such like.. Yesterday i was in an online platform. I ended up talking to a woman i had never spoke to before.  Somehow the conversation got onto menopause. She contiued to ask me about how did mine go. Therefore i can just assume my voice has reached a point where it is no diffrent from any other woman in the street.

 

Not much. But it lovely when something happens like that and it kind of justifys the work you put in.

As perfecting a voice to portray me was always very important for me to archieve.

So I got a new CD on a whim. "Postcard" by Mary Hopkin. Have been enjoying listening to her clear, sweet voice singing "Those Were the Days" and thinking it odd that I never noticed that I identified with female singers as a child, singing in first person as a she and never giving it a thought. Does that make me smile? Yes. It even makes me chuckle.

Singing has been out of my life since being in the Army wrecked my voice. But my voice is back, and the sense of euphoria that voicing happy songs gives me.

      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?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you
