I took my wife out in her new super-dooper electric wheel chair and we had lunch out together for the first time since my cancer treatments.
We both had pizza, the first one that I have been able to taste in almost 12 months.

Lovely!!

A woman after my own heart.  After the Doctors cleared me to eat whatever I wanted, after I had my stent placed, I went out for pizza too.  I'm still only allowed pizza once a month though. :'( :'( :'( :'(

That is so awesome.  My heart swells for your joy!
you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

Yaaaay!

I just had a two hour session Monday, and was basically cleared *EVERYWHERE*.  [emoji1]

It's definitely a great feeling, after all these hours In The Chair, to be on the home stretch.

Ah, but today I am baking.  All sorts of goodies are coming out of the oven.  Delicata squash! (Halve, clean out seeds, slice in 1/4" pieces.  Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper.  Bake 20 minutes at 400ºF, tossing halfway through.)


Best of all though are my brownies.  I love scraping the batter into the pan, and then getting the last tiny bit on a spoon, to take a taste.

❤️❤️❤️ It tastes like childhood... ❤️❤️❤️

Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.
Electrolysis - Hours in The Chair: 238 (8.5 were preparing for GCS, five clearings); On estradiol patch June 2016; Full-time Oct 22, 2016; GCS Oct 20, 2017; FFS Aug 28, 2018; Stage 2 labiaplasty revision and BA Feb 26, 2019

Met my new doctor today.  She said that the VA would do facial hair removal, under dermatology.

I didn't ask.  When I get to my first appointment, I will ask how it was coded.  When I first started transitioning, I was told that the VA doesn't do hair removal, it may have changed recently, though.

I believe that my doctor is a transwoman as well.  She might know ways around the system.

Artesia,

   I an sure she's utilizing a way around the system. I'm sure nothing has change recently and if it does it will not be good for us under this administration. It will be along the lines of what they are trying to do with active duty trans troops and under the same lame "cost cutting" excuses.

Sometimes bedhead looks sexy, but not on me :P Mine just sticks out all over the place, it takes a lot of wetting and straightening to fix it. That's one thing I didn't miss when I had long hair, lol.

I bet that feels great!

I am going to get more hours now.  One of my former subordinates walked out on my replacement, so I get some of his hours.

Hi girls 🙋 I'm happy that my wife told me that estrogen is having a positive effect on me and that she showed support for me in my endeavors.  Just knowing that is with me on this is wonderful.
Happy, Jessica 💁

I shaved my face for the first time today! I barely had any facial hair and to others it wasn't visible unless they were up close but it was bothering me, and now I can say I shave my face!
