What made you unhappy today? v2.0

[kelly_aus]

Missed my girl bad today.. 

[Jamie D]

Kelly, I'd give you a big bear hug, but my arms aren't 13,000 kilometers long   

So, a virtual one will have to do for now. 

[Shantel]

I I'm going to lose my house,  maybe my job,  I am never going to have enough money to cover basic transition stuff,  I don't know how I am going to have enough money to live,  and I am going to be a house less,  that's even before you count the family and friends that I am losing and stand to lose because of my gender changing. Just feeling that my life is going down the pan and I have to just sit and watch it wash away taking my hopes and dreams with it.

At times like this it pains me to know how helpless we all are to reach out to you and aid you in any appreciable way in resolving those horrendous issues that you are faced with Steoh other than by prayerful thoughts hopefully generating sone loving kindness in your favor by unseen forces. My best to you dear! xoxo

I met my next-door-neighbour's new fancy man over the garden wall. The conversation went something like this:

Fancy Man: "Hi! We haven't met yet. I'm Paul!"
Me: "Hi! I'm MaleName. Nice to meet you!"
Fancy Man's eyebrows go up
Fancy Man: "Are you really?".
Me: "Yes, I am."
Fancy Man beats a very hasty retreat back into his house.

Ugh. C'mon, GIC! I need HRT stat!

At least you won't have him knocking on the door in the wee hours wanting to borrow a little sugar.

A good thing too. I understand it's quite easy to catch "The Trans".

Heh, I had some Neanderthal address me as 'love' on Saturday. I laughed my socks off. I thought: "If you only knew..."

I can only imagine the conversation that happened afterwards. My neighbour has known me by my (old, female) name for several years now but she doesn't know I'm transitioning. Now I've just introduced myself to her partner using my new name. I bet THAT was a fun conversation!

Probably would have been fun to overhear that conversation, oh well, you're out of that closet now!

Stay strong Steph,it does get better

My internship  apparently put all their eggs in my basket and I can barely go a day without breaking down.

3-4 footprints right where I'd just planted a row of green beans    *Sigh* Some folks just have their heads up their

Why does Zoe have to be such a common trans name, anyway? D:

[Edge]

One of my "friends" tagged me in a post about an imaginary "mental hospital." The first post was fine. Comments added to it were definitely offensive. Another of my "friends" is one of the people who made an offensive comment.
I called them out on it, of course. I was probably more hostile than I needed to be, but I wanted to make sure I got the point across. Kicking people when they're down is weak.

Twisted my ankle last night, now my right foot is hurting like a mother.

[Naomi]

Quoted from my blog,

"Honestly at this point I feel like ->-bleeped-<- everyday before I go to work. It's like the morning is here and Naomi has to put on a mask so that she can pretend to be a cis guy to placate other people but the mask is gross, smells nasty, and doesn't fit right."

I appreciate I'm fortunate to already have two biological kids of my own when so many of my friends here yearn to have children but aren't able to... but I've just been to see my GP and she has basically told me that I have to permanently shelve any thoughts of having another biological child by any means whatsoever. The alarm on my biological clock has started ringing.

Darn, it hurts.

So, you want another child? Why is she saying to permanently shelve it? No eggs? Something to do with transition?

Personally, I've been feeling a bit sadly lately that I'll never have a child. Probably could physically still have one if I stopped T, but just couldn't physically go with it. Don't have the funds to store eggs and the harvesting process doesn't sound too pleasant either.

[FTMDiaries]

@NSFA: I've been discussing with the GIC the possibility of storing some eggs before I start T so that I can somehow have another kid with a new partner, even if via a surrogate. But my GP says it's too late: my eggs are already scrambled. And anyway, as you rightly say the harvesting process is horrible: I couldn't put myself through it due to the feminising hormones.
