Sorry to hear that Sarah!! That is horrible!!! Keep your head up, you will figure it out. Hope you are feeling okay!!

Thats terrible news about the loss of work, :/ I hope you find something fast.
And it would be really great for me to get away Tasha, but I will have to wait till next year.
I have big plans for next year.

Sounds exciting.... now I'm curious.... I'm so happy our thread is being used again!!! (Ridiculous right!!!) Anyway, glad to hear from you all again, I hope everything starts getting better for you soon Sarah....

Yea it is pretty to keep it going, I just wish you guys lived in Europe too :L

Gee Christine, I was just thinking it would be nice if you all were here in the states. Oh well, on a positive note, if I ever decide to travel abroad, I have someone to visit.

Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about your job and your uncle!  Double whammy there. As Tasha said, keep your chin up!  We are all thinking of you!

Not much going on here lately. The E is going well so far and hope to have a good talk with my boss after Labor Day.

Good to hear from you all. I really cherish our friendship we have built here!  I miss Jerrica though.

Talk to you soon.

Jenny

Hi girls,
  yeah really sucks about my uncle and work and all but whatever. I will survive. a friend actually called me out of the blue and asked if I was still doing renovation work at all. Long story short he has some work for me. it's only a few days worth but that will get me a little money.  I've applied for employment Insurance so that should give me a little bit too. I'm already over stressing about it.

yeah it would be great to visit you girls other then christine we're really not that far away from each other. I actually heard about a a trans kid, 16, I think that went on a holiday this past summer in eastern europe. It was her first experience traveling as a girl and never had any issues at airports or train stations. that was really nice to hear.

I was wondering what experience you all had with tucking? have you tried it? do you do it? I tried a few times in the past without much success and it was painful and uncomfortable. however, since starting on testosterone blockers I've noticed its not really painful. I don't know if I'm just getting used to it but I don't really find it uncomfortable either. I got a air of hip/butt enhancers off amazon and they are pretty tight. enough so that even without doing much things look a lot flatter. I've begun working on actually tucking with them on and it works great!!! I love it!! More then I can find the words to describe.

I will surely take that link from you Sarah.... tucking is a lot of work!!!!

I think traveling is the luck of the draw.  I guess it depends on where you are going.  However, I have a friend that recently traveled from Japan back to the US presenting as herself.  She said other than a couple of young ladies giggling with each other she had no incidents.  Actually you might have seen her on FB.  Her name is Emma.  Her attitude is, I quote, "Rip the ->-bleeped-<-ing door off it's hinges and burn the <not allowed>!"  She is totally out of course.  She has been good for me building confidence.  I am not sure I would be out as much as I am without her encouragement.  She is a retired Marine officer.

Glad you got some work, Sarah.  Hope all goes well and you get more soon.

I honestly have not done the tucking thing yet and don't really have the desire to do so.  I wear pretty tight panties so it gets hidden pretty well anyway.  Spiro has made it easy to hide.  I also have a gaff that works pretty well even without hiding the boys.   

Traveling would be fun, but honestly right now there is no way I could afford it.  My divorce is killing me.  My wife is taking almost half my salary.  I have a meeting with my attorney next week so hopefully we can figure out a better plan.  She sent a separation agreement over that is pretty ridiculous.  Hopefully we can nip that one in the bud so to speak...

Talk to you all later.  Have fun out there.

Jenny

That's funny!  I got censored!  Oh well, you get the idea!

Yea thats good you got a bit od work Sarah, keep you going a while.
Tucking I havent really tried :/ though I have that funky Kiniesiolgy tape or whatever its called, I only really need it if wearing jeans or something,
But its supposed to be the best option for it nowadays, look it up, my spelling of itmay be abit off lol
Haha poor Jenny got censored, It happened to me to here before. The mad type like your friend can be great for confidence, somerimes I'm scaredof that kind though, they move so fast and can get us all in scary situations.
I have had a few myself, in other situations, be it all out late at night in the cars, and you always get that one that attracts the police, :S

Hi girls,
   so I managed to get out of town for a couple of days. it was nice driving through the mountains. A friend dragged me along so it didn't cost me that much.  did you girls do anything this weekend??

Hey Sarah, that sounds nice, probably good to unwind and relax abit after all thats happened this last while.
I love a mountain road.
I actually am preparing myself for just that, my old classic BMW was brought home on Saturday, and I spent all weekend cleaning her and changing a few parts. She feels like new. I can't wait for next year when I take her on the road. I will show you girls a few pics of my cars when I'm out hopefully. :3

I had to post this too Girls, I am so proud,
My mother insulted me for it, but I think its amasing.

It looks great!

Thanks Jenny, Im so happy with the length, wait till next year :3

Hi girls,
    that's great Christina. I'm a little jealous my hair is nowhere near that long yet.

   Jenny been following your facebook posts. Your progress in coming out is great. I hope people have been reacting ok.

I would say overall it has been positive. I think there will be many that don't agree though, including many of my republican conservative family.

Hi girls,
    how are you all?? I'm guessing you all saw my Facebook post earlier this week about the hospital. it's been a rough week. spent two separate days and most of Saturday night in emergency. on the bright side chatted with Tasha Saturday with Facebook chat so she helped me pass some of the time.    Anyway my left kidney is inflamed and really angry with me for some unknown reason and there is a kidney stone floating around in the other one. But it's been the left one that been kicking my butt all week. Hopefully it settles down soon. I haven't gotten much done this week.

   so, my biggest obsession, for a long time, has been finding someone to spend my life with. when I started transitioning I didn't even give it a thought. When I started to think about it I wasn't ready for it and just stuck it on the back burner. I'm getting pretty comfortable and confident in my new gender identity and getting very interested in women again. Even have a crush on someone. But I'm really scared about approaching women and dealing with them on a romantic level. I haven't come up with a really good question about it just wondering what your thoughts are about approaching it and dealing with it etc.

  The other thing I'm struggling with and sort of stumbling on is old male orientated references. such as "I used to be a UPS man" or "I make a lousy Frenchman" I've become quite aware of it and will have to be mindful of it in the future but it also got me thinking about how to properly gender my past self before I transitioned. I was talking to someone and said "I  used to be a UPS man, urr UPS person uh well I was a man at the time...." followed by the thought of what am I supposed to say... Again, thoughts ideas etc.

I hope you all are doing good.

I my gosh, Sarah!  I am so sorry you are not feeling good. I hope you pass that stone soon but the thought of that makes me cringe!  No fun!

I think the key to romance is not to push it too hard. Let it happen on its own. If you meet someone special that likes you, it will be a piece of cake. But of course relationships take work. Good luck!

Personally when speaking of my past, most of the people know I am trans so I am not embarrassed about talking about my male past. I mainly talk about how much mor happy I am now that I found my true self.

Hope you are feeling better. I don't think I need to talk about what has been going on in my life since you all probably have seen my FB posts. Such a ride!  Loving every minute!

Take care

Jenny

I think Jenny is right, you should be working to much about love, it'll cone to you.
Haha its funny kind od thinking about the situation of talking about the past, i know nothing about it mind, but it must be awkward kind of.
You have been doing great Jenny, it amases me everytime.
I wish it was me :'3
