Coming Out At My Condo

I think that they care about themselves more than they care about my feelings, and you are right, that is not the kind of friend you want.

They still want to see my wife and when she visited with them it really hurt for me to be left out.  I wish my wife loved me enough that she would not want to see them because they won't see me, even as Don.

`You will make new friends.  If those friends cannot accept you then they may not be good for you. It is unbearably hard when people no long want to know you. I simply do not know what else I can say.

Be proud of who you are and be yourself.

Hi Donna

I have been thinking about your situation with your friends.  If you push too much now you might alienate them and they might hurt you.  If you can leave it 6 months or so then try ringing some of them up and just chat that will give them time to take in what you are doing and what you are going through.  People can react badly to a new Idea but if given enough time they can sometimes come around. 

Just a thought.

Although I think she loves me now, I'm not sure what she will do when I tell her that I am coming out to the neighbors.

Give her a chance .. she may surprise you.  Either way, at least then you will know.  I'm wishing the best for both of you❣️

Donna,

I'm 57 years old and yes I live alone and I'm retired . I've been living here in Neligh Nebraska since 2016. I don't feel like myself in men's closes so I hope to live full time as a woman for I feel that I am a woman!

I am 59 years old and turn 60 in Jan.  and am  not retired. ?

Simply enjoy your life.  Do what makes you comfortable.

Life is too short not to live it!

A nice warm hug

Thanks Kay, and it would be a BIG surprise since she absolutely detests any time I try to talk about being a woman.  Yesterday I was trying to tell her about my trans friend that I have been talking to and she had this disgusting look on her face and then made no comment. It's been this way for 34 years, and was always hoping I would change. We both finally gave up.

Joanna, go for it. I feel your pain from not living your dream.  Read the posts on this forum and you will learn a lot and then ask specific questions and you will get good advise.

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
