Eve, for the record I very much enjoy long drives. My first great drive was 1500 miles when I was 18 from the east coast to the center of the country. I will admit that on the 3500 mile trip each time when returning home the last 200 or 300 miles bothered me as that leg of the journey is known for police watching for people speeding. Never have been ticketed so knock on wood.

Karen, Can't we all! Eve

Hi Christie, I think you're making significant progress now, i think that you'll find that "things" start to speed up a lot in the near future............ Cheers, Eve

Mikah, I can always use improvement.

Good tips! You must be pretty well practiced.

Here's the synopsis as seen on abcfamily.go.com: "Ben, an ordinary Midwestern teenager, going through a unique situation. After his parents’ recent divorce, Ben learned that his dad is transitioning into a woman, Carly. In the series’ opener, “#WelcomeToMyWorld,” Ben is struggling in school, and his parents, Suzy and Carly, are not happy about it. Ben’s girlfriend, Danielle, would like to introduce Carly to her father, who is also transgender, leading to an awkward shopping trip for the four of them. And Ben’s sister, Sutton, returns home to Evanston to plan her upcoming wedding." I tuned into the first episode. I didn't know it was going to be another reality show, so that might have hurt the show's chances with me right off the bat - I was expecting a documentary, and expecting it to be all (only) about the trans people involved. It seemed to me that the first episode had too much "other" stuff in it besides what was going on with the trans characters. I'd rather watch a documentary, or a regular [scripted] program. I might tune in again, and give it another chance now that I know what to expect. I found episode #1 on hulu... perhaps you can view it there... http://www.hulu.com/watch/799388 I also found it on sidereel.com... you must accept cookies, and it appears you have to register on the site... http://www.sidereel.com/becoming_us/season-1/episode-1 It appears that both episodes #1 and #2 can be found on streamtuner.me - this site also requires registration... http://streamtuner.me/watch-becoming-us-online-streaming/ I also found links to YouTube, but once on Youtube, you are redirected to hulu I do not know how long these episodes will be available on these sites - I did not go so far as to check that info -Michael

Yes indeed we can all improve upon ourselves as the majority missed out in the early years of being brought up female.

Monica, I will be on the East Coast around April but not sure about getting to New York, will have to wait and see as the last trips took me through to Ohio then PA.

Karen, Wish I lived on the west coast. If you are ever on the east coast, I would love to show you Beacon, New York! Monica

Good to hear about your trip

Seems one hell of a long drive!, Birmingham to Luxembourg was bad enough! 3 hours to Dover and 5 hours on the continent.............I had to unsieze my joints when I got out of our Land Rover Freelander............ Good Luck, and drive safely, vaya con dios. Eve

Hi Karen, I can identify with not remembering, I have had boobs for nearly 3 years now, admittedley small at first, for the last year they have developed to a reasonable size, and I can't remember what it was like without them...............I just hope that when my turn for GRS comes around the same happens again. Oh god, tucking is such a pain in the ass (figuratively speaking!, pun not intended!). Cheers, Eve

Well Veronica, your humour really is outstanding, makes me smile a lot ! Eve

oooh. How satisfying Sun bathing with my transman friend today he commented on how cool it was that each of us was there on the beach in the bodies that we'd worked so hard for. I'm already forgetting the flat chested feeling - really looking forward to the next step. It's been nice to read about your journey after SRS! It's a little comforting as I am gearing up to go under the knife.
