Veronica, thinking of shaving legs, my legs can go weeks w/o shaving them since being on hormones and to be honest don't miss it one bit, hey everyone is different

Dear Friends, First, I beg everyone to play safely. Secondly, as a cisgender woman who is a Lesbian, please be aware that everyone's sex drive differs, and can change at different points in their lives. When I was in junior high school/middle school as well as high school and even college, I could orgasm just by fantasizing, without even touching myself. I was practically jumping out of my skin! Noticed after I had a radical hysterectomy, that my sexual drive is next to zero, even though I am a romantic woman. Interesting, even though I was involved with my beloved AFTER my radical hysterectomy, I could orgasm just by kissing her, before even having sex with her! When I start getting serious with someone, before I even touch them, I share about my present sex drive, so that there would be no misunderstandings. Yours, Monica

Friends, As a cisgender woman, before menopause, I had to shave my legs weekly. Now, after menopause, I shave my legs once a month. Monica

Good to hear you are on your way to becoming who you are with the assistance of HRT and hair removal and best wishes on July 27th.

Warren, that sounds great! Awesome news! It's amazing how if the gov't views us the way we are, the way we present and how we want to be, everything just falls into place. Thank you for being so strong and being such a fighter.

Christie, you sound like you are well on your way! I started HRT and feel much better, but it is an adjustment emotionally. If you have any questions or need anyone to talk to, just message me. Even though there are a lot of similarities, all of our lives and stories are unique. Choose your path based on the best information available and have no regrets. You are "who you are" and are "where you are" for good reason.

​I always write with zero preparation ahead of time when writing entries, they just flow out at the very minute I have an idea but always attempt to write a title that will attract attention to entice people to read what I have written. My goal always is to pass on what I think might benefit others, nothing more, nothing less. I am sure at some point I will have little to say (oh, my I have 150+ entries so far) and hope that others hear will be vocal and share their wisdom as each of us will tell different tales and there will be intersecting point which again help others who follow us. ​I suspect you still have much to offer At least I hope so! One of the great treasures of this website is being able to read about people who are at all different points in transitioning

WTG.

Lisa, you should never have to be sorry here for as you call it a diva dump as this is one place to do it. Having listening to many on the path to transitioning you are no different then the majority out there so feel good about that whether you question yourself or not as this is better now than later so do the questioning now. As I have told others get to a calming quite place and be true to yourself, that is going through your mind asking questions and also writing them down, why I should transition and why I should not transition and always be truthful.

Dear Warren Esquire, Really glad your life is changing direction in a way that YOU wanted it to, I hope your new job goes well. Cheers, Eve

Hi Lisa, As Karen has said questioning yourself is pretty normal, and in the middle of the night, how similar to my experience, I used to worry and question myself with "What the hell are you doing?", only it gets less and less as time has passed. Now, I don't worry anymore about gender I'm just Eve, me and myself (and as Veronica has said so acurately you are a singularity, oh and do not confuse or associate that with being a freak ,as so many ignorant morons do so glibly). I didn't worry about being male much before I transitioned, I'd had years of practice being male, but I just wanted to be female LoL. Similarly after a bit of practice being (or perhaps appearing might be a better term) female I don't worry about it anymore. I hope that this helps you, Cheers, Eve

Try epilating, I use a Braun silk epil, the results last longer than shaving and the regrowth is not spikey as it is when you shave. A little bit painful at first in some areas, notably upper inner thighs and arm pits, but after you've suffered the pain a couple of times it's a lot easier. i used to have a hairy chest, but the regrowth now is amazingly less and an epilation there lasts for 3 weeks or so, and is now very limited to the area between my boobs. Cheers Eve

Dear Eve and Veronica, Wow! Are you guys way ahead of the game! Hope ALL police departments learn a lesson, because the secret of stopping crime is PREVENTING crime! Couldn't help but notice "The Universal Language Centre," which gave me a chuckle, because in the Spiritual Realm, when a person is forming the thought/words to which they are going to say, they are unknowingly speaking the Universal Language. Languages as we know them on Earth, do not exist, except for special circumstances, as everybody speaks the Universal Language. Very rarely does Spirit communicate out loud or by even moving their lips, as they communicate in the Universal Language. Am assuming, of course, that this is a language school, which are very popular in NYC. Your friend, Monica

Emma, I hope that you are okay. I haven't heard from you in a while and miss hearing from you. Love, Lisa

I've been doing hour long sessions, that and the prior laser treatment might explain the difference. For the next 2 weeks my schedule should allow for me to let it go a little longer before the sessions, so she should be happy with that It's funny that it definitely does hurt, but I seemingly don't care - I've never once asked her to stop for a break, and I'm always disappointed when the session ends! I don't think my pain tolerance is that high, on the other hand I have gotten 4 tattoos, so perhaps...

I meant to add that your choice in subject line was wonderful, I couldn't pass up an entry titled "keeping the vagina as it should be"

Hmmmm stubble's a bu**er...........isn't it? I just don't shave on the morning of my appointment, so there's not much growth to be seen. My electrologist also complains about the shortness of my facial hair, but I have appointments at work and so forth, that I have to attend on the previous day, & I don't want to do a convincing impersonation of the bearded woman ! I'm amazed at the quick progress that you seem to be having, I have been attending half hour sessions most weeks for over a year now, it seems to be a very gradual process, but it seems to be a lot less tougher than it used to be, and moustache has all but dissapeared..............double g, by the way LoL. Good luck with the hormone tests. Cheers, Eve

Karen, I strongly second Veronica's comments, I had been trying (subconciously) to compartmentalize my gender and sexuality "issues." Part of my thinking (when it popped up into the conscious) was that I didn't want sexuality to impact my decision-making in terms of proceeding on this journey. But of course it is relevant whether I choose to actively think about it or not! I think now that I'm in a much more comfortable place in terms of transitioning it's easier to let it go. What's also interesting is the sense that my sexual orientation is (possibly, probably?) shifting. Previously I considered myself a "gay male" with some slight bisexual interests. As I move along in this transition I can see the possibility of being completely bisexual. One hypothesis (I won't misuse "theory" like the religious right likes to do with it's creationist "theory") is that as I see myself more and more as a woman it's easier to imagine being in a relationship with another woman, someone I can better relate to. That's speculation though :-) At this moment the idea of dating and/or sex is barely, if at all, on my radar. Thank you again for another informative post! xoxo Christie

Thanks Karen this helps me to get the "ducks in line before shooting them", sometime in the future. Sexuality? I must confess that I'm becoming confused with the passing of time, in so much that, seemingly to me, my preferences are not so black and white as they used to be. I don't think that this anything that I either regret or applaud, it's just something that seems to be happening, I doubt that I'll ever do anything positive about it either, least not whilst I remain happily married. Cheers, Eve

Warren, Congratulations on all of this! You certainly deserve some good things happening Good luck with the new job# Christie

Warren, The gentleman you referred to probably was a drunk or had dementia. You were wise not to give him a ride because it seemed like he did not know his own address. Hope that somebody at DMV had a heart and contacted adult protective services. Congratulations, young man! Monica

Thank you Karen <3 Warren

That is so wonderful that you got this done, congratulations Mr. Warren
