Male to female transsexual talk (MTF) / Re: Do you ever play with your hair?
« Last post by Rachel_Christina on Today at 01:10:48 am »You should be careful that a wicked witch doesn't try to climb up your hair, lol.You are a raven-haired Rapunzel.
Gorgeous.
I play with my hair all the time. It's cathartic.
Haha I have had ones want to cut it D:
Hairdressers namely.
For some reason they get so excited when they see long hair, but it brings on this want to cut and style D:
I only ever go in for a relaxing wash and blow dry.
Haven't been in a year though with covid.
Thank you guys.
As someone who tried growing hair very long, not playing with it too much is also a big help!!
We can do it!! 💪

Transgender talk / Re: Public nudity
« Last post by prudence on Today at 01:08:57 am »..In my experience with women (which is admittedly quite a lot) that is not typical. I'd hesitate to ever describe a behaviour as normal or not normal. In my experience women quite like to be naked in the right place and at the right time and aren't ashamed or hung up about being nude and being seen by their partner.
All the women I've known have a real problem with nudity. Even trying to take them to bed, they want the lights off and stuff. I've had like five decent dates in my life, so I'm not sure if this is normal.

You haven't transitioned and Emma hasn't also, whereas I've lived as a female for 35 years. It takes considerable time to learn how to fly the female body, exactly as it does for ciswomen. Emma is choosing to not use the time she has right now to take flying lessons because that would more fully reveal her desire to her wife. I don't think Emma has even shown her photos of her desired self to her wife. We know more than Emma's wife about Emma and that's not right. Emma is failing her wife right now and again and again by not sharing what she shares with us. It's a kind of lying, to withhold essential information.
This is Emma's choice, but it behooves Emma, her wife, and her marriage to commit to her relationship and not dally with us, taxing in circles on the tarmac, if she's not going to fly. It's not a matter of Emma's pacing. It's a matter of honesty. It's also a matter of reveling in what you've not chosen to do, or in Emma's case, not chosen to do.
I have been afraid to offer my observation out of fear of hurting you Emma. I do not think you have a very good marriage. The one person who should be your soul mate in life and sharing all your thoughts and feelings with, you have consistently lied to and hidden your life from. It is the same as a man having an affair, cheating on his wife! I recently joined a dating site (with my wife's full knowledge and acceptance) and see some men won't post a photo and hide details, it seems obvious they are publicly hiding so their wives won't find out the truth. Not exactly the same, but sounds similar?
Emma, it is not to late to build a new, open, honest relationship with your wife. It is not too late to transition. You can do it!

« Last post by Jane.Shannon on Today at 12:13:51 am »Orchiectomy Recovery Day 18:
I had my post-op follow-up on July 12, 2021. The doctor said everything seems to be healing well down there. He okayed me to resume exercising and said I could lift things over 10 pounds now. I had a few things I wanted to get done today, and it was great to not have to ask for help with the lifting. There has been some “seeping” of blood and clear fluid from the incision site. There are also two little bumps at the top and bottom of the incision. He said this was normal also, and everything is healing well. He said the bumps were a combination of the gathering of the skin and the sutures. The sutures should dissolve in a few more days, and the bumps will reduce in time. Those little bumps are probably the most painful part now. The pain in the right inguinal canal is gone, but there is some remaining on the left side. The doctor also confirmed my theory that the pain was caused by all the severed nerve endings retreating up the canals. Overall, a good successful visit.

Member Blogs / Re: Ms Maddie's Garden of Changes
« Last post by Maddie on Today at 12:12:44 am »New place, new porch garden. Similar to my last place, and feels like home. Haven't really met people here yet. Will try to put myself out there more.
Rode bike trails at two state parks yesterday. Have been running, 3-5 miles, couple times per week.
Looking at changes.
Wondering if my physical job is affecting my passability. I had been avoiding upper body exercises, but it's necessary to the position. Also I have fallen off of a strict eating routine that I had followed. So my weight is up maybe 12 lbs. I am aware of this, not crying about it.
I am treated well and respected at the job and the insurance will cover things
Electrolysis continues to be a slow work in progress.
Facial feminization surgery is scheduled for January 6th 2022.
Gender reassignment bottom surgery is scheduled for March 7th 2022.
Looking into breast augmentatio, as well as hips/buttocks. Hoping that pelvic osteoplasty becomes a real workable thing here.
If I can choose, I would not want to be tolerated as an obvious transwoman. Although it is better than abuse.. I would rather not be an example of an obvious transwoman any longer, if I don't have to. My experiences, especially the past five years, have me wanting to move on in this life I have today.
My voice needs work. I have started working with a speech therapist, who has given me some exercises. I like her.
Being misgendered more recently.
The garden smells like mint and basil.
Promising little green tomatoes

Hormone replacement therapy / Re: Does HRT change your personality?
« Last post by Rachel Montgomery on Yesterday at 11:28:04 pm »I am a MTF who has not taken MTF HRT, but I have taken TRT. And, TRT certainly changed my mood, my irritability, my lab work in a number of ways and my liver enzymes. So, I can’t imagine that reducing T and increasing E would fail to cause emotional differences and numerous other differences that you should talk to your doctor about.
