Quote from: Iztaccihuatl on Yesterday at 11:02:52 PMNever give up - that's the right attitude for an athlete!

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!

Hugs,

Heidemarie

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.

Sounds like this is a step in the right direction... But I can't Imagine the hoops we would have to jump through to get the va to approve surgery yet alone hrt. If they would accept letters from non VA therapists, or if you have to go to a VA therapist and play their game for them to be told to deny and disprove as many people as they can.

Plus I'm not sure I'd want the quality of the doctors that work for most VA hospitals operating on me yet alone my genitals...

Quote from: CosmicJoke on Today at 11:24:44 AMHi everyone. I believe it has happened where some people may have been led to believe that they are transgender and transitioning was what was right for them. Maybe they end up finding out it was something else so they detransition. In this case that was the right decision for them.
I think maybe there are other times people do it but then it turns out to be a mistake. I'm sure it has happened alot of times. Maybe when you see how you are treated as a woman you think "it's so much easier just to be a man" and vice versa.
My question is just that. Is detransitioning always the wise decision?

Are you detransitioning, or do you think you were erroneously led to believe that you were transgender? Because otherwise you're simply asking us to judge others, and I feel that would be extremely poor form.

I have to admit that there has been noticeable shrinkage, however I started out with a significant size.  MFT HRT for me caused shrinkage and less "fluid" production. Reducing MFT HRT for a prolonged amount of time did recover some of what was diminished.  Resuming the full MTF HRT resulted in losing what was recovered. To say any more details would be more appropriate for a sexuality forum topic, not here, and this is a private matter regardless!
