I'm still having problems with UK financial organisations, Tesco especially, I have decided as soon as I have my new card in my new name I'll trnsfer my balance to a different card provider, yes, this is termed as voting with my feet, and sticking a finger up in Tesco's direction. Paypal UK are another pain in the ass, they wouldn't accept my Deed Poll which I uploaded to them, they also wanted UK Driving Licence or Passport......Driving Licence is presently in the process of being changed, and I'm waiting for it to be returned in the post. My passport is waiting to be sent off as soon as my Deed Poll certificate is returned from Tesco Bank. ARRRGGGHHHH. If you going to transition fulltime in the UK expect Frustration...............the process is unnecessarily long, and awkward. Anyway yesterday I went to our local supermarket with my wife, and I either passed as female or if not nobody said anything or stared, you never can be sure, other UK girls have termed this as "Schrodingers Pass". I am getting more and more used to it with increased exposure. I took my wonderful wife out last night for a meal, to a bar / restaurant on the edge of Birminghams gay quarter ( I wonder if we'll ever have Trans quarters in the future?) this bar is used by straight people as well as LGB and last night one 1 T (me), anyway we had a great time with excellent food, in fact some of the best I've had anywhere in Europe. So apart from pain in the ass finacial people I had a good day.

I told my daughter I would call her next week but she thought it was going to be this week eek. So I came out in a well thought out manner, in short she was fine with it then proceeded to chatter away on normal stuff for over an hour. Yeah see we are close knit but I delayed telling her for several good reasons. Phone call ended quickly because my bowel was a moving :-) and wanted to say good bye to my poop. Oh, she is moving from the East Coast to Oregon in the fall and will be living within 20 minutes of my place. I live in the capital because of work, she will be living in Portland because of work so it all works out

When done here take a nap then walk to the mall down the street. Have checked with the front desk, they will pick me up if for any reason I am unable to make it back. Come back, do my meds and clean up followed by another nap. I am taking extra pads and water with me. Best thing here is exercise for better recovery. :D While at the mall I walked by a nail salon, backed up and had my nails done with shellac. I feel better after having them done which was partly why I went out, exercise and do something to feel better after being cooped up for several days

Hello, I wanted to add in that PayPal was great for me in the USA. I deactivated my former account on the phone then had them transfer my bank information from that account to the Karen Payne account which must be done by PalPay. Total time on the phone was just about ten minutes.

Sorry to hear about your frustrations. But... "Schrodinger's Pass"? Either you or your friends must be physicists! Cracked me up. :-). Makes me wonder if Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle might also be at work here.

That is wonderful news. Thank you for sharing your success story! :)

I always get up at the crack of dawn (well actually way before) and my mind is fully operational. This morning what was racing through my mind Look at Microsoft Outlook calendar, when did I last take pain-killer (range is take one every four to six hours), well I slept six hours so this is a no-brainer but I can not stress enough that if you go thru this to document when meds were taken and for some may want to create alerts for when the next times are. So my cephalexin is also on alerts. Now let's talk pads, I am constantly checking mine and immediately changing to a new one no questions asked to ensure I eliminate possible chances of infection down there. Yeah the subject line may have been done better but the point is the same, it is critical to take care of yourself while recovering between the initial hospital stay and the post surgery appointment and beyond. Keep it flowing in your mind "personal hygiene"

I want my surgery. There is no other way to word it or describe it. I. want. it. I'm tired of waiting, and I'm tired of putting 20$ in my savings box every week or so. It's just not cutting it, and I dont feel like I'm getting anywhere at all. So, I've decided to try something I have never ever done. Online Sales. I'm going to make an ebay account and attempt to sell things online to go towards my surgery box! So, I tried to evaluate my skills. Drawing is acceptable, but I dread the thought of my art in the hands of others. There's no way I could cope with that. Sewing? Dreadful. Knitting? Yeah, right can we say disaster? Clay works? Nope, that's my sister. When it comes to creativity, I lack it. Aside from book writing, which everyone knows will not do me any good on ebay since I'm self concious about my work plus I dont see how that would be sell-able without copyrights and all that blahness. So, I've fallen to something cheap to ship, easy to make, and cheap to do. Jewelry. Now for me making jewelry (since I've abandoned all girliness) makes me feel extremely gay but I guess that's acceptable being that I'm trans AND bisexual. I'm allowed to be a little gay But regardless....I NEED IDEAS!!! I dont know where to start, what to make, anything!! I plan to go to walmart tomorrow with 40$ out of my surgery savings (got to start somewhere) and buy supplies for getting a few pieces done. Throw them on ebay and see if I get any bites. If I dont, at least I tried. If I do, EPIC! But I still need ideas. If you guys have any, let me know, and I'll let everyone know ASAP when I get it up and running. I'm thinking Warren's Wearables. I dont know, needs work I think. I had something else I was going to tell you guys but I completely forgot o.o well crap. Tootles! Warren

I wrote this message in reference to a discussion allowing admirers to all events and functions within a trans lady organization in the D.C. metropolitan area. '' I think I have scared a admirer away , he does not call me anymore . '' I hope we continue to communicate in a responsible , cordial , manner , like I have noticed so far on the message board . The ladies in this group are so special and such a strong unit . I wish for more involvement in events from some of the other members we seemed not to see or hear to much about . Separation of admirer interest is good , as long as we do not get into a segregation from each other. The past residential soiree venues were a convenient , welcoming , pleasant comfort zone. Our group has grown , who would want to accommodate 50 plus girls in there home several times a year. Yes , it can be done , but it is a daunting responsibility to take on . Our group helps us flourish and explore our inner women selves with a supportive hand reaching to us anytime when needed . With that notion , we must come to terms with our own decision to express and identify as something different from which we were born. I personally do not expect another to become indulgent or accommodate myself with my own personal life choice. Those who are living this choice with another , live this choice together , making those appropriate decisions as loving companions. There is a growing movement happening for the transgender , bi-gender people of the world. I strongly want to be part of it . More and more acceptance and understanding is helping our presence be recognized , worldwide. The scientific community is supporting our cause with new research data all the time. If every trans girl could just step out as the women she deserves to be and do that little more to influence our cause . Not only will the world understand and accept us , they may just start loving us.
