Why on earth do they make women's clothing in a size they call "0X".  I know it's supposed to read "Zero X", but to me it looks like "OX"- as in large bovine.  Seriously, WTF.  Thanks for the insidious body shaming maneuver, a*holes.

Then there's the light on my dashboard that says "SRS" every time I start my engine.  EVERY. DAMNED. TIME.

OMG, what did I do in a past life to deserve this?

Oh that's cruel Jill

Today is the one year tranniversary of my misterectomy. 

I went "balls out" on July 15, 2014.  Seriously, good riddance.

I'm going to a LGBTQ event in Rapid City this weekend for the first time. I've been told that over a thousand people go to this thing every year. 0.0 If ever there was a time to have a freakout, now would be that time.

Happy Anniversary!

Thank you!  I can't say I miss them.  It's amazing how much better I felt afterward with virtually no T in my system and the daily sturm-und-drang gone forever.

That is the one op on my bits that I've never regretted.  After my own orchi folk I knew would ask me about it and I'd tell them that it was wonderful and it was surgery I'd recommend to anybody.  For some reason male friends and relatives would look a bit uncomfortable when I said that

I remember one time, I suggested that my brother get a vasectomy. He cringed when I said it. I laughed and said: "Oh, hell. It's not that big a deal. I had my balls removed and everything was fine." The look on his face was priceless.

Is it me or have the number of TG stories in the news exploded?
It seems everyday there is a new story, good bad or just plain awful.

We seem to finally be seen as people in the media and not just the focus of others hate.

Actually whenever I look at FB comments to news articles, many lack understanding us, and those are often most liked. The kind of tone that just discourages me to reply or try to reason.

So, see this -- . I simply don't know what could I possibly say to those people in response.

Those comments... that's messed up.

You gotta wonder, who's really mentally ill, us or the ones who hate us just for being us?


And again today, more people expressing joy at my return to the store. Maybe they're mentally ill...

When I was still working for the adult mental health service I held the view that it was 'normal' people who were the dangerous ones.

It is screens and screens of it.
And it is also other transsexual topics than Caitlyn's work.

It evokes feeling of rejection and powerlessness to do something about it.

I used to tell my clients that the only difference between them and people on the street was that they had been diagnosed and most of the people they met hadn't been yet.

Hi Jill & Katherine;
I cannot believe a whole year has gone past since I sat on your front yard with Eva Marie and both of you gorgeous women  at your Celebration party. I plan on drinking some Australian Shiraz tonight and will think of all of you

Very best wishes

Wow 4,000 posts doesn't feel like you would think it would. Oh well on to another 4,000. 

I don't really mind that there are people who choose to live lifestyles of hatefulness, but do they really have to shove it in our face?  Can't they just keep that crap private? And the sad part is that many of them practice their hateful lifestyle in front of children.

I post when happy things happen. I post when I'm annoyed, why don't I  post when I'm really, really upset?

On topics like this https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,192259.0.html .

I can only read stories and hope one day I will be getting my hrt.
