Charlotte's scratch post

Just for reference this was my FFS journey. Looks pretty undramatic apart from bruising!

I see a big change. I still think you are very cute

[Lori Dee ✅]

I can see the difference, too.

They did a good job. I agree that you look cute.

Charlotte if you can't see the big change maybe your next operation should be on your peepers cos they're clearly not working lol!

There is night and day difference and the changes got much better since the last pic too.

Maybe try to take a current pic in the exact same pose and see the difference that way?

Wow! And you went through all that just so you could use the ladies' loo?

Charlotte, you look amazing!

Like a chrysalis bursting apart for all the world to see!

I can definitely see the improvement for sure. Just my surgery pics look pretty tame compared to most. Like minimal babdages, equipment and such. Kinda in then out to recover.

I am growing to finally love my face more now thanks to suppport on here. Just like a hair transplant one day. Not so happy with my body but hopefully it'll get where i want it in the next couple of years.

Charlotte and Courtney, I can only judge from the photos/avatars you have but there are no guys in any of them. I'm not trying to be kind, it's just what I see.

Of course being correctly gendered goes a lot further thsn that, mannerisms, voice, movement etc

The biggest critic you are ever going to have is yourselves.

I hope you both cut yourselves a bit of slack and enjoy how far you've come, pat yourselves on the back and just sit and smile for a little while.

Congratulations girls, I wish I looked as good as either of you

I know a few on here like electronics and tech so I'm going to geek out a bit here with something I'm working on in case you're interested!

This a capture of the activity on a DALI lighting control bus. Essentially the bus is held high at a nominal 16v DC. But the available current is limited so master (control devices) and slave (lights/sensors etc) can pull this bus low to encode data.



The cool bit is that the data is what's called Machester encoded. In most data lines a logic 1 is defined by the signal voltage being high, and logic 0 by the signal voltage being low. The problem here is if you have successive repeats of the same logic level you end up with a continuous high or low period. This means for a receiver to interpret this you either need to send a clock signal separately, this way on each clock pulse it reads the logic level so can interpret how many of logic 1 or 0 are in this period. Alternatively the clock on both the receiver and master must be so accurate that the signal can be faithfully read by a local fixed clock signal.

Manchester encoding gets around this by ensuing there is a level change in the middle of each data bit regardless of if its a 0 or 1 and even with successive repeats! The creates an embedded clock pulse within the data itself. Now we can have +/- 10% accuracy of the data clock yet its fully readable by any device on the bus without a second separate clock wire. This is now a reliable 2 wire control bus. So a logic 1 is represented by a transition from low to high and a logic zero by a transition high to low on the control bus. A full bit should last 833.33us which I've marked on the scope - it shows 850us - this is just the resolution of the marker, but still with +10% requirement for clock accuracy. As you can see the first bit (start bit) is a logic 1 as it transitions low to high mid pulse. Followed by the first data bit which is logic 0 being high to low transition mid pulse.

Hope you found that interesting. If not sorry - I'm a geek at heart!!

I won't pretend to understand all that Charlotte! I must say when I first looked at the post I thought you had posted a screenshot from a Spectrum Game from the 80's!
