Went out as Jenny last night to my GIC meeting. All went well. I even decided to go get the mail at the mailbox on the way home and someone was there and said HI to me. She didn't really pay much attention to me which was good. Tonight is a repeat for Jenny. I am going to my gender therapist tonight and once again plan to go as Jenny. I have to admit it is getting easier although it has been a bit more challenging finding outfits to wear since I still have a limited supply of Jenny clothing. One thing I still need is some sort of feminine jacket. Had to take my regular male one last night just in case. Fortunately didn't need it. So this will be two days in a row not wearing a single male article of clothing. Must admit it's pretty fun.

That's how I am starting to feel about passing, slot of the times I do, but there is no way I can all of the time. That is just who I am though, so I do it anyway. A cruise would be fun...

Well, time for work... ill talk to you all later!!!

Just curious, Tasha. Are you in female mode at work?  I am not at work. Probably a long time before that for me.

Ok, here is something on the lighter side. Might cheer you up. I play video games sometimes on my computer. Anyway, the current game I am playing is Fallout 4. The game includes romance options with non-player characters of the opposite sex. You build the relationship and eventually you have a romance. No graphics, just the romance part. My character I play is male and my romantic partner of course is female. The game has cheat codes you can get on the Internet. One such code is to change the sex of your character. Needless to say, I did that one so now my character is female. The funny thing is my female partner is totally ok with my transition from male to female because she still says she loves me and wants to be with me. Wish it was so easy in real life. ;)

That is a small town.  I can imagine how you feel. Come to Denver.  There are lots of jobs here and Denver is very Trans friendly.

Lol... I'd love to, but if we move from here, I owe my wife a year or two on the coast....

Hehe.  Just kidding really, but if you ever decide to get out this way for any reason, I would love to be your tour guide.  Gotta drink lots of water thought because of the altitude.  We are a mile high afterall...  :)

Haha word Tasha! :')
I know your having a tough time with work and the attitudes of the people in the general area, and although moving is the first thing that springs to mind, I'm sure its not so easy with family and refinding work!
I wish ther was something we could say or do that would help!
I always new I had this coming, I new I could never advance a relationship and family withought dealing with it, but that was ok, the problem was in school and deciding a future, it couldn't be done, i stagnated have no qualifications and wasted tones of money on things that I could pass the time saving for them, it was always the goal, and as soon as I got it I would move on to the next big expense!
That was my way of dealing with it, and its effect on me!
Jeez what downer crap,....
On a higher note Hormones in 46 days, yay!
And 3 weeks off starting at the end of July :)
I know it sounds daft and almost meaningless at times, but you have to focus on the good!
Even those big expensive things I spent all that money on, I will show you guys once I'm out to my family!

Ya, so I still haven't figured out what to do exactly, I have many qualifications, and many skills, but entry level positions won't pay the bills, much less help with transitioning.... I pretty much have to transition careers and gender simultaneously, without sacrificing wages.

So, statistically speaking, the most logical reason for our existence is that we are a simulation run by either humans in the future, or an alien (to us) race. Not that I think it's true, but the way my life works, it makes it feel true. And then makes me feel fake... which I feel even more now that I feel like I need to change gender... and then I feel like I have no real control over my life. I can't advance, all I can do is exist. I long to do more than just exist. I want to BE. I want to make real choices, not between what is responsible and what's not. Not between what's right and what's wrong. Not about how to deal with a situation. I want to choose between things that I want. I want more life choices that are like choosing between cute shirts. I hate that every choice I make in life is between existing in one kind of difficult struggle or another. I have always been a strong person, but even the biggest bodybuilder has their limit.... and I feel myself pushing harder everyday just to not be sad or to feel, well, like trying to not feel sad. On my best days, the days when I am good at pretending I am happy, I am truly indifferent. How do I look forward to living for the next however many years, when all I feel I have to look forward to is depression or I difference? How do people see reasons to live more than responsibility?

I apologize for the long-winded whine session, it just kind of came out... what I really meant to do is talk about that statistical theory, and I guess it just brought up some feelings that I didn't realize were so close to the surface this evening.... recurring issue the last few days Huh?

Well, thank you all for putting up with it. And I hope you all have a great day/night!!!!

its seems like we are all having a downer day... so i'm feeling like a target has been painted on my bubble. My Endo bubble that is. So, I I went to a Pflag meeting tonight which is run by the psychologist that I'm seeing. She has been cut off from doing referrals for adult endocrinology. Some B.S. un specified reasons. luckily my appointment is booked and has been confirmed. So, i'm alright on that point. however it appears there is a huge discrepancy on what happens when you get in to see them.

Some people said they went in and were started on HRT straight away. Some did initial blood work and told all the good, the bad and the ugly then sent away to think about it for a couple of months. Sometimes they simply refused to start people on HRT altogether. I would be crushed if that happened. waiting would be tough too. I'm hoping I fall into the first one.. but am i ever scared now. I've been so looking forward to it and now there's all this uncertainty about it.   

take care girls we can get through this.

Hang in there girls. Life has a way of working itself out if you just let it. Be positive and be in control of your destiny. Had my gender therapist appointment. She said she can write my letter for me at some point so that is good. I have my appointment with my diabetes related endocrinology doctor in June and plan on discussing transitioning with her as well. It is at the VA and my therapist said that they do hormones but you have to go through their process first which includes seeing their mental health professional. Curious to see how that goes. Talk to you girls later. Have to get ready to go to work and put on my male clothing. Ugh.

Ah Tasha, I think that retched feeling of just existing comes from being guys we don't want to be, like you just do things, but you don't really do anything! Because we aren't into it!
As a female we willl feel what we are doing is worth something, or we are just right doing it!
I'v lost that feeling alot in the last 7-10 years as I really just felt like a woman anyway, even at school and work I just seen myself as strong woman!
I'm also sickened for you Sarah :/ I hope they just give em to you, its also causing me to fear what happens to me in July! :S
I'm sure in America you can get em with informed consent but Canada I don't know, you could try?
And thats great news too Jenny, keep pushing forward!
Its Friday girls, thats what counts :3

For me, wait, not tonight... thank you for all of your support, but I need to not explain, or indulge... it's affecting every aspect of my life... and I need to see a therapist and figure out how to take control of my feelings again...

Depression ->-bleeped-<-ing sucks!!!
  •  

Jenny0713

I know Tasha. It sucks. Yes, get in to see your therapist asap. I think that is critical. I am sure it will make you feel better. I can't remember if you said you are currently on HRT or not. Maybe once you are they will help you relax more. That nasty T makes us tense and worry too much. Gotta get that poison out.  I too need desperately to get it out of my system and get some E in me to really start feeling like me finally. Again, hang in there. We as always are here for you. Keep talking. It might hurt but it will help in the end.

Love you all. Jenny.

hi girls,
  after a couple days of  not getting enough sleep I slept a good part of the day away. I feeling so well rested now. but only got an hour till i have to go to work.

I'm looking into going back to school. Not that I have issues with work because of transitioning. just because I finally have a direction that I would like to go in.  Which is something I've never had before. So, I'm looking at being a Community Support Worker. I'm not sure what the equivalent title is where you all are but here are some of the jobs I could do. Child/Youth Care Worker, Youth Outreach Worker, Teen Pregnancy Worker, Parenting Support Worker, Addictions Worker, Family Place Worker. So it's largely a counseling type position. I gotta go I will post some more later.

Best of luck. I hope you find what you are looking for. Sounds like the theme is helping people. That's great. We need more like that in the system that care.
