The hopeful wait

The routine of pill taking has set in - decided to take the Estradiol Valerate sublingualy to improve the absorption rate, it takes about 10 minutes for it to dissolve under my tongue. Around 5 days after I had the Zoladex injected into my tummy, I started to experience quite strong tingles in my fingers (more so the right hand), like pins and needles. a couple of nights it actually work me up. Around day 8 that started subsiding and now on day 10 I have no tingles anymore. I wasn't too wo

Long time, but still around

Hi everyone remember me, its your girl tiff. Im still around even though I haven't been able to post anything or respond to messages. First of all I had to switch jobs again, not because of me being trans but because the general stress of the job just got a little too much for me. Basically it boils down to this, I was working close to 50 hours of week, they never sent me a schedule till two days before the week started so I couldn't ever plan anything with anyone, I was constantly called to

Putting a smile on my face

Well, I keep patient after my 2nd appointment with the gender clinic on the 6th of October and waited knowing about the 6 week possible delay in sending letters out after appointments (its really good to be forewarned), and yesterday evening whilst in a bar with some close friends I got a call from my doctors receptionist to book an appointment to see him regarding hormone prescription. Wow they were on the ball and working late on a Monday! Booked to see him on the 17th Nov - had the Wednesd

Some thought tecniques in the MtF transitioning phase.

I have here some of the basic principles in the transitional phase of MtF transitioning, these are only some, there are indeed hundreds of principles. 1. always beleive you are beautiful, then others will beleive it too. 2.Always take advice from a real women watch and observe them (only a good women). 3. Whatever it is you do, beleive that a women is doing it. 4. get into the habit saying I am a sister, mother,daughter,aunt etc...

How hard it is to have understanding people in your life.

When things are good they are good and when things go wrong it is so hard for anyone to help you. As I have said in the past I have had many friends and a few enemies that wonder what is going on in my life with me. I have done my best to help them understand the nature of transgendered people like me. They only have the missconseption that we are gay or queer. After they are educated on what is the difference they always say they understand now, But they still continue to look at us as gay. It

The time waists or is it just my waist ...

I know it has been a long time since I have been posting . I have been wondering why nothing I do manages to bring me to the point that My life is complete , I try to find work at home yet still manage to have to continue what makes me sad and discontent with my existance , I know I should be content in having work , yet for some reason thats is no consilation , I do however feel content with who I am I wear what I want I get up on good days when I put on my makeup and do my hair up and loo

A bit taste of full-time

Hello there, There is still no questions to the pharmacist here? Nevermind. I posted another entry on my personal blog at wordpress.com about my wonderful weekend. I could see a glimpse of the future. How I will be as a housewife, as a full-time woman some time in the (not so) far future. I know what I'll lose and what I'll win. My balance semms to be good. My path is set, I live with no regret. Hugs, Sophie

Too Far From Home?

This post is actually a rewrite from a summer time piece. It reflects how life is an ever changing process. The first time I heard "Bob Seger's Hollywood Nights", I knew exactly how he felt. The lyrics: "He knew right then he was too far from home. He was too far from home." burnt a hole right through me. In your life I'm sure you've been on some very slippery slopes. Relationships, family or job issues made you feel you were sliding towards a very steep cliff. I was there, on that cliff

The disillusion in relationships.

I may be jealous or full of envy, I am just protective of what is mine. We tend to say this more than often to ourselves when another women or transwomen is connecting with our man. Its either he wants to have freinds or he is just being nice. I may have a problem but I dont want anyone else telling me that I do. I may just be paranoid, but I will deal with it myself, my way. Why do men argue that they want to have freinds, shouldn't they be happy that we're so protective? Maby I am suspecting t

Once we believe we are Beautiful.

I am blogging about one of the most important subjects we share as individuals, beauty and being accepted. Once we believe that we are the best that we could be at the moment and that we are beautiful,then others will see that radiant energy of beauty in us and our souls will be satisfied from the pleasure of it all. we will be smiled at, loved, lusted, talked to, given opprotunity, given trust and an abundance of other great things in life that we all want to enjoy in life being just who we wan

Being Jewish & Israeli isn't easy.

Shalom l'chaim laila tov, Hi freinds, I want to begin by writing a blog about a certain subject pertaining to being an israeli jew and trans. I am born to 613 laws that I am born to adhere not by choice but by birth. I mean come on I am of the chosen people to serve god but here I am serving a man (Boyfreind) and in more ways than one and calling myself a jew. well to clear things up I am a jew by beleif and not by choice, yes I had my bris and i'm bar mitvah, but c'mon I love my boyfreind, what

Left one pharmacy, still present in the other

Hello all, You could read my status message „They just f*ed with the wrong pharmacist…” I don’t like to use rude words generally. But this altered quote from the trailer of “Machete” fits for my recent situation. First of all, I really love my profession, I love to help people with my knowledge, abilities all of my possibilities on pharmaceutical fields for the benefit of the patients. The behavior of the owners of the Ltd. -which is behind of the pharmacy I managed- denied me working pro

Reflections on a birthday

I'm now 49 and with the impending dreaded 50 just one year away its rather made me think about what I've done up till now and what I want to achieve. I haven't made an impact on the world - the number of people who know of my existence is pretty darn small. Should this matter, do we need to have 'changed peoples lives' or received recognition for something? I guess the answer to that is no but it would be nice to feel I've at least helped some people along the way. I hope my children will

Cat Fight?

Unless you live in a cave, or with me in a box under a bridge-you probably haven't missed the transgender news in several areas. Transgender youth are making headlines as homecoming queens or kings in their chosen gender. The latest story comes out of Texas where transgender student "Andy Moreno" was nominated for homecoming queen by friends. When the school principal said no-Moreno protested. Rightfully so! Transgender political candidates are stepping onto the political stage. One of the

Are you NOT Talking to Me?

Just Say Something? In all my years hanging out in bars with the guys or alone as a guy-there were several times when I felt I wanted to approach a girl that was sitting close to me. I have always been a reasonably shy person,plus my transgender background usually played a role. Would the woman even want me to approach? I really don't like pushy guys and I expect most women don't either. Usually, I took the easy way out. I kept ordering drinks to build my confidence to talk to her...and she

Yesterday was a good day :)

Had my 2nd appointment at the Charing Cross GIC at 9:30am - typically it was pouring with rain (always seems to be raining when I've visited there) and hence my efforts at making my hair look good were ruined in the walk from the station to the clinic. Couple of admin matters to sort out with the receptionist and then about 3-5 minutes of waiting for the doctor to call me into his surgery. After a couple of pleasantries he hit me with a very blunt question "why are you here?", I think its desi

So Much-So Little time!

As fall and October get ready to make their appearance (already has where I live) there are so many things to consider! I already bought a pair of new fall boots that I managed to fall in last night in front of a bunch of people. I know what your thinking! The boots were not the four inch stiletto style. Still had a heel of course but not enough to go down!!!! Just a little sore in the body and very sore in the ego department! But girl friends it's almost the magical time of the year called Ha

CaN You Ever Go Home?

If I can quote "Bob Seger's Hollywood Nights" tune-"he knew right then he was too far from home. He was too far from home." Then relate it to losing your male identity, I would. Wait! I just did! The reason I did quote the song (basically about a beautiful California blond and a Midwestern boy lost in her charms) is that I remember defining moments when I didn't want to go back home to my male self. I know many of you girls have always known you were just that-a girl. Many of us however, did n

A "fault" in the Gender Quake?

The other day, I overheard a conversation from a mother accepting a personal phone call at work. (Against the rules.) She explained it away by saying she was going through a divorce and it was her 10 year old son calling. The boy, it seems was a little nervous being alone after dark. Of course I flashed back to my youth and thought how much hell I could raise in the extra time alone. No way I'm calling them! Did that make me any more of a boy than this kid? Was I more of a male because I cou

Grand opening :D

Come one, come all! Welcome to my new little pharmacy called “The Alabaster Unicorn”! Unicorn is traditional symbol of healing and virginity in the medieval christian mythology, you know. Well, virginity is far behind me but healing is my profession and I hope it will be until death will come for me. If you like to have a little consultation about pharmaceutical matters, I am at your service. Just write me a mail and I’ll try solve your problems. I would be so glad if you agree to post y
