Jessica, my wigs cover my ears too, so I wear hoop earrings. They stick out a little, just enough to be visible. But I prefer the larger hoops that show better. You can always sweep your hair back just behind your ears to show them off if you are comfortable with that.

I had an Endo tell me that a patient came to an appointment with her and announced that she was no longer transgender, and left without explanation. I assumed she meant she had completed her transition, but the Endo said sometimes people change their minds.

The whole purpose of the mental health evaluation is to determine if you are experiencing Gender Dysphoria. To what extent a transition one might pursue, is definitely a personal matter. But I don't understand how someone could be misdiagnosed and the "cause" is some other condition. How is that possible? Was the diagnoser incompetent?

I can understand someone changing their mind for a variety of reasons. Pressure from family or friends that they do not want to alienate. Or maybe, as CosmicJoke stated, maybe it is easier for them to not transition. In either case, the individual decided that any dysphoria was tolerable. Again, that is their personal decision, but does that make the diagnosis wrong?

As Chrissy stated, either way, a mental health evaluation should still be in order to determine the why behind their decision, and then to offer support to help them carry out their wishes.

I like "new" potatoes because they are yummy bite-size chunks. Not too potatoey, but maybe that's because they are dripping with butter. 

My Endo wants me to stop Progesterone 30 days before surgery. So I call the surgeon and ask if they feel the same way. Of course they say if she want you to stop you probably should but we don't require it. So no Progesterone for a month. Then I get a phone call from the hospital wanting to know if they are doing the pre op tests, to which I'm having my GP schedule them. Of course they have my surgery date wrong. Panic mode! Call to the surgeons office then the hospital calls back with, they had made a mistake. Crises averted.

This is a subject I will not comment on

I have got to the stage of not caring. I go male mode when at home for my wife. All the rest of the time I am full stealth female. So I aim to keep all the things I like for being female, but bung on jeans and a T or polo.

So my nails are painted bright red/pink, I wear rings, bracelets and necklace (I do the wearing outside high neck T's), I wear shoes (trainers) that are female gray with a pink flash on the sides. No makeup, no bra, no wig but with boobs now rapidly reaching 38DD large T's just hang off them (hehe). I keep all my female mannerisms and walk and even my voice to some respect. It's all so normal for me.

I am doing it on purpose and I get a lot of male fails, it's more a stand against the stupidity of not being allowed to be dressed as I want and I am getting away with it. Hello Ladies lol.

I currently do not have ear piercings as my current wig hides my ears. My next one I want them more exposed so then earrings.

I have gone past the not being noticed stage but never had any problems. I am treated as male or female depending on the person viewing

I am sure you'll do fine in the race and no hills, leg cramps or whatever else you could encounter is going to stop you.

You got this, Jenn!

Have a great race!

Thanks to you both and all the well wishes coming with me on a grand -er- type 2 fun adventure...

Dear Robby:
Thank you for sharing and posting your thoughts regarding the ways that you can personally satisfy your femininity and
still be compatible with your other life issues, personal relationships and employment requirements. 

Just about all of us that are in the transition journey or have now gone Full-time have had to perform that sometimes delicate
tight-rope balancing act.  Only you can determine what works for you and the others that you must live with and work with.

I am wishing you well as you continue in your transitioning progress. 
Keep us all updated, but ONLY as you feel comfort sharing.

Warmest Regards,
Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

Quote from: Robbyv213 on Today at 01:52:38 PMAll very great ideas. I want to paint my nails at least my toes but the wife seemed very against it. Maybe I will try to clear matte nail polish. I usually under dress at least one article of clothing like panties a thong or a bra.

I work as a mechanic so I can only get away with so much and still be functional.

I thought about getting piercings like my nose or ears. Not sure how it would look honestly. We have a guy here that has his nose pierced once in each side, and it looks normal for him. But I feel for me it is out of character since I have never had it.

But these are cut into small bits and fried for a while before the cauliflower goes in then a good few teaspoons of various spices get added so not very "potatoey"

They move in from the continent when we have high pressure and high temps so through the summer.
