I agree with Sadie. But regardless of the hair style, the joy radiating from your face is very neat to see! And I love the dragon fly pin.

Thank you, Tia Anne. I'm actually, really, truly happy these days,an interesting change after 50 years.

The dragonfly pin was a lovely gift from Laurie.

Home from Astoria Pride, and settling back in. It's hot here in the San Francisco east bay.

I'm finally trying something a little different.


Lighter hair style for summer. I do like it.

What IS it with transgender women and pickles?



I opened this jar 6 hours ago. With my two house guests it is half gone already!

@Michelle_P    ...   I go through a large jar of dill pickles every week or sometimes more often and also I crave green olives.
Thanks for sharing this factual tidbit about us trans-women!!!
Hugs,
Danielle

I haven't felt the cravings really, until I bought some Clausens (my fav) last week. 
Gone in a day, by myself.  Oink

So my recent purchase of a jar of dill pickles that I use on my sandwiches is hormonally driven? I hadn't done this in eons, until recently.

I got mine at Costco...  not every Costco has all the same stuff so yours may not have the exact ones.

When I went on my overnight long distance shopping trip to Anchorage last month with my gym-girls group I bought 6 big jars, and I only have 1 jar left.
Love "them" pickles!!!

Danielle

I'm going to write and complain about the size.

I think I need some of the big gherkins!

Danielle, these are from the local Costco. [emoji6]

More fun with hair.






Oh, decisions, decisions...

(Not really. I'm going with that last one. Although the others are cute with the right facial shape...)

Got one before they were gone.  Laurie claimed innocence, as she was drinking a pickle juice cocktail.

@Laurie had me try pickle juice.... it was quite tasty.  Have you tried it?  It did sound eeeww to me at first, but I was wrong, imho.

I haven't attempted pickle juice.  Transition is a work in progress.

Thank you, Drexy. I don't know if the pickle juice was an influence.

We just had our Pride weekend in San Francisco, preceded by Trans March. The March is still a protest march, rather than the official Pride celebration on Saturday and Sunday.

I don't go to the Sunday commercial Pride event any more. It doesn't feel right to be a spectator watching corporate floats go by, rather than a participant.

Saturday is traditionally the big lesbian celebration, Dyke March, and in the past has welcomed all lesbian identifying people, including people of color and women who happen to be transgender.  While that was the official policy, this event had some distinctly unwelcoming moments.

A group outside the Good Vibrations store was swarming and shouting at trans women as they passed. One of my friends shouted back and was struck on the back by a walking stick with a brass head, wielded by a woman in a dark tank top and leggings.  She's OK, just bruised and sore. 

Dyke March is off my To Do list now. That isn't the sort of "community" I care to associate with.

I finished out Saturday cooling off at a friends house at an informal pool party, with other local trans women and some SOs.  That was nice in the 100 degree inland heat.

Sunday I did my Worship Associate thing at church, while wearing my trans pride dress. [emoji4]  I gave a three minute speech on the history of the Pride event and why it is celebrated.



Monday I was back to electrolysis, a two hour "fuzz hunt" at this point. Next week we will spend my appointment on tidying up the eyebrows. [emoji16]

My girlfriend has been doing some neat stuff too. I'm very proud of her, but she can tell you the details if she cares to.

 Always the busy bee aren't you Michelle. You looked good in your Trans-colors dress and pixey hair style. But then again I AM just a bit biased. I'll have to see if I can distract you from some of your business so you can relax.
