Something seemingly simple but to me big got my ears peirced something i've wanted to do for years but was afraid of the ridicule I might get in my family I still present as male but I said F it and now i'm sporting a beautiful set of studs in 2 new holes can wait to be able to swap em out for other styles in 1-2 months.

Hi Rylie, I am envious. I have made it well known to my wife that this is what I will do. She is freaked but before 12 months is up I will do the same. Good on you

pierced ears.....just just do it!!!!! It's no big deal, I did mine as a teenager.....I'm so glad I've always been female for my entire life......if I could have just started estrogen at age 12......oh well I cannot go back in time.  Life is good, have fun girls.

Forgot to take my diamond studs out the night before last and worked in the field with a few $K on my ears.  Had a customer notice and asked if they were real then mention they look pretty...yes, they are and thank you!  Scared to lose them as I work in a physical industry, I usually do not wear them except for when we go out in the evenings.

Was nice to be a little dressy for work though!

I learned about makeup today. last week, i hired a consultant who accompanied me to Macy's to select makeup and brushes. Today, she stopped by my house for a full lesson and finished by writing down all the steps for me. I'm not anymore passable, but at least i feel more comfortable as i start practicing.

Got my first ear pierced about 30 years ago and got the second piercing but only got my second one done on the day I decided to transition in September last year. I did that and bought myself a really lovely Stirling silver glittery butterfly on a chain. It was like cementing the deal and I remember how great it felt. I hope you are able to do it for yourself

This was an odd day.  I feel really happy, glowing even.

I just don't quite know why!

Today was Patch Day, when I swap out the old, depleted patch for a fresh one.  (I'm on a twice-a-week patch swapped out once a week, for low level HRT).  I started feeling really good about 6 hours later.  My E-deprived brain haz a happy?

Today was Electrolysis Day, my weekly two hours In The Chair.  Normally that sort of sucks, but in spite of all the zaps, I was really happy when we were done.  This session included a second round of clearing the chin to lower lip, and well out to the sides.  Yay!

It's bedtime, I'm tired, and I'm glowing! 

Please, may I have some more?

Thanks Liz,
Really appreciate your support and your sharing of your experience. It has helped to resolve my determination to have this done.


Cheers Sue.

Pizza!

Um.  Spiro, so I can have pizza!

And bagels!  Onion bagels!  *foodgasm*

I was on a very restricted sodium diet to control high blood pressure.  Then, I got put on spironolactone, BP dropped like a rock, and I was instructed to raise my sodium intake.  I went from 700-1000 mg/day to 2300 mg/day, BP stayed low at 90/60, 55 BPM, and I can eat things.   Such wonderful things!

I just ate a lovely salad and a spinach pizza.  O.M.G.

(My weight has been constant at 139.8 lbs the past 3 weeks, thankyewverymuch.  Meow...)

We have tickets to tonight's Mets game against the San Diego Padres. It's LGBT night, a first for New York sports, and the game is followed by a Styx concert. Man, I'll be dead for work tomorrow!

Of course, if the threatened thunderstorms cancel the game I'll be reposting in another thread....

I hope the night goes forward as planned and you have a great night.

Big step forward for LGBT !

Enjoy the night!  :-) :-)

It's a little silly, but I had a group therapy session late in the day, so I went out early and did some shopping first.  The things that made me happy?

1. New hair!  Yeah, my hair comes in a box. I spent time going through wigs, and picked out a "Raquel Welch 'Crowd Pleaser'" in honey ginger.  I thought it might be nice to lose the gray and pretend to be younger (among other things...).  I'll eventually post a selfie.

2. Group therapy.  Really.  For the first time in decades, I had a strong feeling of empathy with others.  Really strong.  It hurt, but it made me happy to know that I could have such feelings.  I feel like I'm rejoining the human race.

What made me happy today? 

Helping out another member of this forum with her struggles to fit and buy her first bra!  Not that big a thing in the scheme of the world as a whole but it was an intensely validating experience for me given my own struggles to come to grips with my own femininity being able to  help to another traveling this difficult road.

I ran this morning, it hurt some, but I did run.  (been humming a little tune all day..)   This evening I will be heading over to the gym for some overdue time with the stationary bike.

I believe.  I believe this really can work.

I got a new university staff id card yesterday. The name and picture on it still make me happy today.

I finally got in contact with a gender therapist this morning.

No plans to transition, but there are a few changes I'm thinking about and could use an experienced guide.

Hopefully I get an appt soon.
