Hi Jessica

Maybe you are right about lake effect wind in Toronto but if we got lake effect winds off the Georgian Bay in Midland  about -5C felt more like -20C and you get tons of snow. Brrrrrrrrrr It was getting to the point I wouldn't actually couldn't go outside during the winter and I felt guilty that Wing Walker had to do all the business and grocery shopping. I wouldn't come out of the house until half past March.

It's wonderful here in Vancouver, the lowest temp we had so far was +10C and it was also the first day we got wind since we got here in August. Get rain every now and again but that is much better then snow. The good part is I am still going out with Wing Walker to do shopping and other activities around town.

I've heard that testosterone raises your core temperature. Not sure about that, thought. What I am sure about is that I sweat a ton!

I am very sensitive to the cold but my hands are always toasty warm, I could melt snow with them.

I'm the opposite my hands and feet are first to get cold, with a warm jacket my body is not too bad. I just try to not go out much, just dress warm. In my case it's kinda good because by next summer I will have been on HRT for a year so I hope my body will be a bit more flattering when I get into those light tops again.

I live in Copenhagen, one of the coldest cities in the world but it's quite warm now.  41 degrees (Farenheit).  Not too bad for this Dutch girl

Here, another canadian in southern Ontario freezing her buns off. I haven't been able to tolerate the cold myself lately. Once it gets below 5 degrees celcius, I have a hard time dealing with it.
I also can't stand the very hot days in the summer like 25 degrees celcius and up. I have my thermostat set at a comfortable 22 degrees year round. Thank god for programable thermostats.

wow, and I thought I had it cold when it gets to like 50 degrees here in the night lol.

Well I HATE the cold weather too. Like all Mediteraneans I dont have it for long....

I LOVE THE SUMMER -THE SUNSHINE - AND THE BLUE SEA OF AEGEAN!!!

Even as a person who hasnt started taking hormones yet, my skin is naturally thin and I get a lot colder than any of my guy friends. I feel kinda like im already taking them cause I have so many layers that make it hard to move.

Hi well it isn't to bad here yet In Vancouver BC, I am still going out with just my jacket. Actually it was like spring today with the warm sun out.

let me keep you hand2hand :-) I'm just the opposite, I have ice in mine. 

Well...Its weird...


Cause I did the phytos, and then stopped. But ever since I decided that I was genuinely transgender, more towards the TS side, I've felt colder. It may be a lack of working out, yes, but I also feel like a light weight with alcohol. What the HELL?

I mean, yes, I'm bones skinny, but I used to never get buzzed or cold THIS quickly O_o

Hi Evelyna

My hands are always hot and when I touch people with my hands they feel a light buzzing affect.

One girl last year when I touched her hand she jumped back as though she had got a hold of a live wire. Sometimes I cause my computer to go nuts and cause the TV  and the stereo to go on and off by themselves.

Cindy

Yeah-I`m a coldie to!-ever since starting treatment I noticed how I get cold so sasy now and my genetic girlfriends do to,so at least I am not alone-it baffles me as to how the guys in the u.k walk around in t-shirts in the winter-macho thine methinks!!

Sounds like you wear woolen socks and try to step dance before doing anything. XD

"LOL" "hee, hee, hee. Thank you for the laugh hon.

Cindy

So yeah. I get a physical today...And apparently I LOST 6 pounds since my last physical. O_o

Hence...My coldness.

Its most likely my allergy to wheat, which has caused me less carbs. It sucks.

Yeah me too. The cold used to not bother me. But now. I'm freezing most of the time. And I love it. Just gives me an excuse to go shopping and buy more clothes. Thats weird! I didnt like shopping before starting harmones.  Now i enjoy it.

I was mad the other day cause I saw a sweet shirt I liked in the womens section of the mall. I was already getting my mom something for christmas, and finally had money, and not finding what I wanted was annoying.


The coldness...Continues.

I have always been a "cold" person   Seriously, I'm freezing almost all the time, except on those hot summer nights of course!  >

But Tink, a famous man once said the coldest winter he ever spent was summer in Utopia!!!

Now it's Dec 14 and for the last 3 or 4 days, it's been in the high 70's here in Tara.  Granted it's supposed to get down to our normal average low of 50 something over the weekend but then it's supposed to just warm back up.  All ya'll come see us and get warm.
