[SarahElizabeth1981]

That sounds great Jerrica. Sooooo exciting everything seems to be coming together for you. best of luck to you

[Rachel_Christina]

You are deffinitly right about it being a big change Sarah, I have taken it very slow with my mother.
I told my other brother yesterday night about me, the one working withme here. He was nothing but good about it. I was so amased, hopefully dad and the last brother will be fine. But those two are difficult.
I will see what happens when I am home.
I got the bag too, I will get a pic up hopefully someday soon!
Hopefully work calms, its been going mad for so long now, I am tiered and need a break, I hope I get Saturday and Sunday off!
I am so happy with everything, and I just hit 4 months, and I may be getting increased next Monday

[Rebecca]

Gratz on 4 months and fingers crossed for the increase.

So so happy that your brother is with you especially when working together. I love good news

Yay - Work cleared me for a month off. Now I just need money lots of money lol.

Wow Jerrica, you are moving along so fast,
If i build up the money for SRS I know I would spend it on a GTR, my damn addictions
I couldn't believe it, two brothers know, and I neither had anything negative to say.
Oh, almost forgot, I have my first lasser session on Friday! X3
Yay

[Rebecca]

And the good news keeps coming. So happy for your Christine 

I'll need to admit ignorance on GTR though. Most I get from google is a car or guided tissue regeneration.

For the moment I've decided I can kinda kill 2 birds with 1 stone by getting SRS.
Faster than even getting an orchi appointment I'm just kinda kicking myself I didn't give it serious consideration earlier but the 12 months HRT & RLE is still useful for justifying the psych stuff I guess.

Planning to get an appraisal for FFS from Chet after it's all done as I'm curious what he would suggest.
Hey maybe BA & FFS in 2018 if needed (hopefully not though).

Just really need to get this deposit paid to set my date in stone.

Who knows maybe y'all win the lottery and join me in February

Hi girls,
   I'm sooo tired I don't know what it is but since my surgery no matter how much sleep I get I'm still sooo tired. doesnt help that i havent gotten much sleep in a while. I didn't mention before that  the Psychiatrist I saw last week prescribed me something to help me sleep. Something more powerful then the sleeping pills I already have. I'm thinking of taking a meditation class or something to learn how to relax. "cause if this keeps up it's going to be the death of me.

So I went to one of the monthly support groups I go to tonight. Biggest group I've been to I think. with the weather getting colder and the days getting shorter I imagine they will continue to be like this all winter. So the first part of the meeting is a big group discussion. Then we split up into masucline identifying, feminine identifying and non binary groups. First thing which I was really flatter by was the guy that runs the Pride Center where the meeting is held  asked me and another girl to sort of run our group. well the pride center employees present ran the other two groups. The other girl had surgery at the Yeson voice clinic in Korea a few months ago so she couldn't really say a lot. Which just sort of left me. I think I did all right we talked the hour away about Trans related or relevant things.

Then after the meeting Mickey, that runs the pride center, said to me I'd really like you to do this.... and he was lifting his hand  with a information card in it. I just looked down at it and read the word mentoring... and said I'm in I'll do that. We talked about it a little bit and it's mentoring kids. I love the idea. I can't wait to get started. Which was the 2nd thing I was flattered by tonight. That he thought it was something i should do.

Last little thing before I go and get some sleep. It seems like forever ago now but it's literally been a month since I posted about my "crush." Nothing really happened so I didn't post anything new and there's not really anything new now except I did see her tongiht. other then during the group discussion we didn't talk to each other though. I basically snubbed her really.  When I like somebody if  she likes me too I expect her to meet me halfway.. I tried to get in touch with her.. and she didn't get back to me. So, whatever there will be another girl that catches my fancy.. there always is! hehehehe Goodnight girls I hope you all are doing good.

[Tasha_]

We'll Yay!!! Congrats on moving into a mentoring state of mind!!! It really is awesome to see you've come this far!!! Good luck with the meds thing lady.... talk soon.... G'night!!!

[Rebecca]

So glad to hear things are pickup up but shame about the tiredness etc.

Big yay you for snubbing excrush. Funnily I expected to feel crushed when my obvious advances were ignored but instead felt liberated so hope you had a similar result.

The mentoring sounds so good with the chance to help others especially kids.

So glad Tash still alive too. Got to admit I worry when this thread goes quiet.

Good for you Sarah!  Hope you get over being so tired.

Jerrica, good luck on all your new goals!  I hope it all works out for you.

Not much going on here. As you might have seen on FB, I facilitated one our support groups last Saturday.  Went pretty well and also a pretty good turnout. Been working hard getting all my stuff updated with my new name. So much stuff to do.

Good to hear from you too Tasha. Of course I have seen your FB posts so I knew you were still around.

Talk to you girls later.

Jenny

Hey girls,
   Jerrica it's so exciting to hear things coming together for you to go to Thailand. I'm sure everything will work out for you. 

  Jenny, Sounds like things are moving along good for you too. Happy to hear you helping others with the support group.

I know Tasha has been working a lot I hope she gets a break soon. Same with Christine.

You may have saw on FB I saw the family doctor yesterday who has been helping girls get started with HRT. In my eagerness I initially booked another appointment for today but had to change it to tomorrow as I had scheduled a tv and internet installation for today. after all this time one more day isn't going to kill me. I will have to see him 1 maybe 2 more time after tomorrow before I get my prescription but at least it's getting close enough for me to see it.

Great news for the doc Sarah. So glad you'll be finally getting your hormones.

Thats so great Sarah, you will feel so much better in yourself after you start! especially since you are on a blocker

[Rachel_Christina]

Hey, I'm back from the lasser, it was just a test, -___- i have a proper one booke for Friday two weeks time.
The test patch hasn't even redened, which is pretty nice, felt like very faint electric shock, but had no worries pain wise, and it looks like my skin has barely noticed it, i shoukd be finished in 5-10 sessions she says :3
So exciting!

[Rebecca]

All sounds great especially if it ends up nearer 5 than 10. Laser is fun

That's great Christine!  I have had 6 laser sessions so far but I still have to shave as much as I ever have. My laser tech said there were bald spots but it is hard for me to tell. I hope I start to see results soon. Technically, only the last two sessions really count though since the first four were at a different place and I wasn't really happy with them. The new lady does both the yag and the IPL laser. The old place only did the yag. I have a feeling the combination of the two is the key to success. We will see though. Only time will tell. My next session is this coming Wednesday. It will be so nice when I don't have to worry about that stupid five o'clock shadow!

hi girls, thanks for the birthday wishes Annarko a little early yet... my birthday is still another 3 months away  this is just the post that will not go away. hehehehe

exciting about the laser Christine. I know what you mean Jenny.. when I was doing electrolysis it took forever for me to really see the difference. You will get there so don't worry too much.

had my doctors appointment today and it went well. My whole life history of gender identity and gender expression in 30 minutes or less. hahaha I actually think we talked for closer to an hour. my next appointment is Wed this will just a be a standard physical to make sure everything is good. Then another appointment after that to go over the test results and the risks of hormones. Then hopefully I will walk out of that appointment with a prescription for estradiol.
