Title: BENEFITS OF COMING OUT
Post by: Cassi on January 05, 2018, 12:01:56 PM
Hello to all.

Well, I told my niece I was transgender and after the are you serious, etc and sending pictures of my meds, she says she wanted to be sure that I was serious as she always felt I had a "female" air about me.

Then proceeds to tell me how proud she is of me for going for what I needed to be.

Way to go Cali. Women so often are happy for us, especially younger ones. Now that you have momentum, keep it rolling.

Cali  It seems you have an excellent niece. It sure helps when people you think may not be receptive blow your  mind. My niece surprised me too. She said she loved me more than ever.

Oh Gheeeze ! 
  Sorry Cali I thought you might escape her notice but she's found you. Who you ask? Why that happy moaning person... That Woman...  Minerca .... Myorca? oh heck That Woman works for her. (I wish she would use a normal name like Moony or something)  Anyway you have to be careful of her she sees things that are not there. Like her special invisible 6'3" white rabbit Harvey. Uh huh you got it I'm surprised Harvey hasn't brought his friend Jimmy Stewart. When she was in the hospital after having GCS she even thout she saw me there in Pennsylvania. Ha like riiiight I'm in Oregon. It tell you she's delusion, delusional but harmless really.

You have been Warned... BEWARE of That Woman. You don't know her like we do...

  I would tell you to just ask Clyde, but she did him in...  turned him inside out... What was left of him was but a shell of who he was... She flattened him and tried to make him look good, but nothing could disguise what she did... The poor stiff, you can't imagine what she did to him.

     BEWARE

Hugs,
   Laurie

 Pssst, Cali, No don't turn around just listen. Pretend I'm not here. 

( Monica is also a wonderful friend who I would cross this country to help if she needed me to. But don't tell her that or her head swells and that makes her bad spells worse.)

Relax just cutting up carrots for Harvey. Gotta soak them in booze of course.

Laurie, you gotta stop warning people about me. One day they will really think I'm crazy. I'm crazy. I'm crazy. Slap! Oh, that's better.

So, you have that deranged Pooka!!!!  He hung out with me all through college and was a great friend while the drinks were flowing but when I cut back he disappeared. You better lock your liquor and wine cabinets.

Well, at least he has never hidden his drinking. He has always  been transparent with me. He does have a tendency to disappear as you say. He is very cute when he says the pledge of allegiance, ever hear him? He always ends with... "invisible, with liberty and justice for all." Such a cute little wabbit!

OMG, I forgot about his drinking and singing antics, Beer Barrel Pooka,  Mary Had A Little Pooka, Pooka Me & A Dog Named Blue.  Goes on forever.

Then the bragging about creating the light bulb and the one that still burning in that fire station was his and not Tesla's or Edison's.

Oh, and never ever let him be the designated driver because he says designated drivers drink for free and when you get pulled over by a cop guess who's nowhere to be found?

Yes, and the cross dressing got out of hand. He looked good as a kangaroo, but when he started with raccoon, well, I couldn't keep him out of the trash cans. Don't get me started on him playing possum.
Moni

Bout now I bet Laurie wished she never started this.

He only cross-dressed once and that was as George & Miriam Kirby's St Bernard Neil and that was only to get the Keg.

So, my niece calls me which she rarely does and says she and her mom have a question and I say okay, what? 

She says they want to know what I'm going to do about my flag pole (Sorry, want to be polite). 

I tell her that this process isn't an overnight thing and from what I know a trans woman needs to live for at least a year before they'll approve the GRS.  And that is a long time.

Post by: HappyMoni on January 09, 2018, 05:37:44 PM
Just in case you don't know, if you fly a flag on your pole at night, you need to have it lit. FYI

Were you okay with them asking that? I don't think anyone ever asked me that. Oh yeah, my partner did.

Now you tell me!  Where's that darn flashlight.

It didn't bother me as I really haven't given it much thought as I know the process takes time.  Just reading the comments in one thread about depth makes me feel I'm too young to be listening or reading the stuff, lol.

Ok, not really to do with the benefits of coming out but I couldn't find my thread that I started when I began HRT.  Anyway, on December 27th I had an appointment with my doctor and when I was weighed in it was 261 which is the heaviest I have ever been weighed in at.

Today, I had an appointment with a nurse practitioner for my diabets.  I weighed in at 254, which is better than 261.  I have been trying not to eat as much and I think my clothes were just as heavy as on the 27th.  Oh well, keep losing it.
