From the internet sources, "rxaisle" is an online pharmacy based in Turkey. Shipments may be intercepted by customs agents if the package crosses any international border.

I do not recommend this source because they appear to facilitate DIY hormone therapy. Be safe and see a real doctor in your own country and make sure that your blood levels are properly monitored.

Oh, BTW, before the crash you may have known me by my real name, which today, I choose to keep private.

Couple of little updates... one seems like it might have a (predicted) sad ending, and one (hopefully) will end as a funny story.

So still sitting on receiving really nice responses from five of the 11 folks to whom I reached out this morning.

But I also have heard from two others... sort of.

One reached out this afternoon with a text, he got the email and, worrying that an email with an attachment was a phishing scheme. A reasonable question, to be sure. So I confirmed it was me... and then ... crickets.

This friend of mine... he was probably the one I was most concerned about. Not because of any right-wing positions. But because of his naivete. He's in his mid 40's, has never dated that we know of, goes to Disney with his mom and sometimes a brother several times a year... and doesn't really like to watch movies if they are too scary, and sex? Forget it.

He's a wonderful guy, he really is. I know what I wrote would make him sound kind of creepy... but he's the opposite. He's more, I don't know... childlike, I guess. He's just full of joy. He's a great person, well liked by all.

And as I have said to my wife on many occasions, I truly wonder if he will understand my situation at all.

The fact that he did not reply at all, concerns me. Not for me... I'm blessed with so much support it isn't about that. I just feel bad if this is really troubling to him. But I figure it's best to give him some space... at least until mid-week next week, before reaching out. So like I said... sad.

The (hopefully) funny story?

As mentioned, in the text of the email to which I attached the email, I try to assure folks that it's not a bot.. crack a few jokes, and wish them a nice long weekend.

Well, one friend who hadn't replied until tonight replied an hour ago and his reply was simple:

"Hey (male name) - Hope you and (my wife) have a great weekend too! Talk to you next week, my friend!"

I then sent him a follow up saying "hey, um... I think it's likely you didn't notice that my original email had an attachment? I'd appreciate if you checked that out when you get a sec..."

 

I'm guessing he's traveling for the long weekend so he just read it quickly while en route, and that's why he missed it and why I haven't heard back from the second email. And why I assume this will end as a funny story. Fingers crossed, anyway.

Just one foot in front of the other... or so the song says... 

Hello Sarah, thank you for your answer.
I ordered hormone medications such as estrofem from this website and as you know, these medications are a bit expensive, I'm just worried about my $350. My intention is not to make any advertisements, I was just wondering if there are others who have ordered from this site recently and if they have the same problem as me.
thank you for your understanding

Wow, Allie, wow. So much progress.

Hello, I have ordered from the rxaisle website 4 times before and all of them arrived within 7-8 days via express shipping, but my last order ($350) was delayed by 2 days. I talked to the site owner and he told me to wait 1-2 more days. Do you think I should be worried?

I have been having a rough time recently.

Things at home are cold. It really does not matter what I do, there will be something that screws it up.

K and I had lovely times out during the month, watching live concerts, operas streamed to the cinema, and dinners out. Cost me more than I could afford but I loved doing it. Now it's blown up in my face. The male fails at the restaurants. Bang. All the good I do is wiped out. I give up.

Them my website, I had it for ten plus years, and then a American host I was using stopped me getting access to it as I went out of contract and I wanted to move it on to another host. They claimed I could not prove I was the owner. I was really upset by this and took me ages to get to the point of sorting it out, just could not think. Anyway sorted I was able to prove to Nominet (the IANA manager of .uk domains) that I owned it and they gave it back to me. Yay

The day that happened o lost my main email account, someone tried to gain access and MS shut it down. A major issue to prove to them I owned the email. Finally after 3 days I got that back too.

Technology is hard these days so much hacking and software failing that what used to take few mins to fix now there is no access to fix and it takes days to sort it

MartaA,

I think that is wonderful news! You handled it right by remaining calm and explaining as best you can. You gave her time to adjust and she is trying to accept it.

she said that it would be horrible to lose everything between us, because we are good fit for each other.

Exactly this! You will remain the same person you have always been. Your appearance will change, your behaviors will change, but you will still be you.

Let her paint your nails! Wear the dress. Do girl stuff together. Show her you are the same person, and she is just seeing another side of you. If she wants to explore a masculine side, let her and support her. The two of you can experience so much together, and if you both keep an open mind it can deepen your relationship in ways you cannot imagine.

I am so happy for you!

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for all the posts and voice of encouragement/compassion.
That's really important right now.

So.. Next day was still a little bit strange. We talked once again about everything - I tried to explain everything more calmly, without crying or shouting or anything like that. Aaaand it went better. She even made a joke that she would accept that, but I need to keep my genitals and get some breasts done - pretty much what I was aiming for if I'll start the hormone treatment. Don't know if it's a good sign and I did not dig into that straight away.

Also today, when we were driving around(coming back from her parents - no, they do not know), she said that it would be horrible to lose everything between us, because we are good fit for each other.

I still did not pushed any arguments, that even if I change my appearance, my character traits will probably remain as they are... I did not used that, as at our first "conversation" about that, she said that she won't find me attractive as a woman.

But... Yesterday, we were drinking after all the talking and she started to talk about her masculine traits and that my feminine side is pretty much good fit for her, but I think she is still scared that this side will take over the steering wheel in me. She even proposed that I can try on one of her dresses or she can paint my nails black.

I'm not sure what to take out of that, maybe she's kinda warming up to the idea of me becoming more feminine or she's just putting on a brave face, hoping that I won't advance into HRT.
