Either way, I need to talk to insurance again before trying to change it and MAKE DAMN SURE that if I change my ID, then YES they'll do surgery. I'm not changing it if they wont touch it still

It was a woman at the DMV and yeah I'm in NH. But like you said, she could have seen it wrong

Ren, I'd suggest double (or triple) checking on the drivers license rule - people working at agencies are known to get the law wrong (social security by me initially refused to correct my gender id, but I eventually got them to see they were wrong). Looking online it doesn't look like new hampshire requires full on surgery for a gender correction on drivers license (you are in New hampshire, right? My apologies if I got that wrong) Chrissy

Yes, please be sure to get anything and everything in writing before you take actions that may be irreversible. But good on you, Ren, for your steadfast follow up. That's what it takes to get through the beaucratic crap. It's a royal hassle but it's worth it. I agree with Christie, too, get your hands on the actual law(s) and make yourself an expert. No one cares as much as you do, and it's possible you'll find language in there that will help you.

Two lovely ladies enjoying the mall!

Hi Lisa, It's very nice to hear from you although I wish it was under better circumstances. That is so surprising that he'd just up and leave you like that, no explanation, no talk, just go. But good for you how you are handling it so well. Crying helps and is good for you. We all feel it when we are vulnerable and then rejected. And it hurts so much that sometimes it feels like it would be better to just seal ourselves off, protect ourselves. I think that is part of grieving and that's okay too for a while. I have a friend who is a folk singer, she says that at these times we need a cup of tea and a nap. That helps me sometimes although it's not perfect. Regardless we are always here for you. Warm hugs, Emma

Hiya Lisa Darling. I feel for You Sweetheart. Darling Girl, You are Not the only one to Cry. I was Physically Attacked by My Wife, and My Middle Son, 2 Week's ago, Today. ( They tried to crush Me between The Front-Door; and The Front-Door-Frame. The Police were called by a Neighbour ! ). I cried when I was talking to the Police. ( This is the 4th. time that the Police have been called, because I have been under attack ). Lisa, to be Rejected, is Not nice. Lisa, You are so Lovely, Young Lady, and being Transsexual Myself, I have found that It Is harder to withstand rejection. I Am lucky though, I have made a lot of Friend's, since " Coming-Out ", as Transsexual, and All the New Friend's that I have made, are sticking by me. Lisa, You Young Lady,are Very Popular, here at TGGuide, and You have made a lot of Friend's here. Lisa, Keep Your Chin-Up, and Your Pretty Head held high. ( If that Person has rejected You, He is obviously Not worth Knowing. You are worth so much more than Him !! ). Lisa, I will Not ever judge You, but, I Am here for You, if You need Me. ( If You ever want to chat Honey, then Please Private Message Me, Young Lady ). Lisa, Speak Soon, Take Care, And My Very Best Wishes, Love Stephanie. xxxx

Hi Veronica You might think that it's only men, but my inbox is filled with all genders. And I truly hope I'm not that frosty, because it seems to me I'm heating up some libidos there. Hugs Michele

Emma, I was SO close to buying one of the yard sprays that reduces (cuz nothing gets rid of those jerky insects) the population, but too many new plants and my dog. I know it probably won't harm either if I follow the direction, but sometimes I just get uber paranoid about things. But I was close. This year seems well though, it has been unusually dry here and the total population of bugs has been manageable, as opposed to something outta a horror movie, swarms upon swarms like that last several years. One year the fleas were so bad EVERYONE had them, didn't matter if you had animals or not. When you looked outside at the grass you could see creepy black waves of them moving around. Nikki managed to lose one of our window air conditioning units. LOL I'm sure it's somewhere in the house, but at the time of it's removal from the window I was still somewhat limited in mobility (unexpected abdominal surgery in July taught me a lesson in how very MUCH your abdominal muscles are involved in movement wise, even reading hurt), so I have no idea where it got stashed. We are working on a project for next summer, when we only have to coordinate his schedule. We're replacing all the camping gear we lost back in 07 after the flood (I know, it's been forever, but camping was just one of the things that fell by the wayside getting everything back up after the flood and all that came after). There is a place I went with my Grandpa nearly every summer growing up, called Assateague Island off the coast of Maryland and Virginia. It's a lovely barrier island, they tried to build a town on it once but it didn't last as the island is VERY mobile. You can see the remnants of the streets on the dune trail. On the Maryland side you can camp on the island itself, there is a National Park (Less expensive, showers have cold water only, but three lovely trails to explore) and the state park (more expensive, but warm showers!). On top of all the usual camping fun, Assateauge has something special, PONIES! Yup, a large herd of wild ponies that have been there so long no one really remembers how they got there. There is a story of a spanish galleon carrying horses to the new world going down and the survivors made it to the Island, but it's considered somewhat unrealistic given that the Spanish influence was much further south. The more boring theory is that the island was used as a natural corral and somehow they got forgotten. They're not actually ponies genetically. Once year the Virginia side has a great festival called Pony Penning Day where they round up the ponies, swim them across the small channel, herd them down main street, and auction off the foals as a combination population control and the money goes to supporting Chincoteague. I got to see the festival once, it was great fun. But if you buy a foal and give it a proper diet, you will have a full horse. It's the overly salted food of the island that stunts their growth and gives them the distinctive Assateague pot bellied pony look. I can't WAIT to show Nikki around all my memories. Maybe not crabbing, Nikki's tolerance of seafood is even lower than my nearly non existent one, but crabbing was so much fun with Grandpa. LOL

So nice to hear things are going well for both of you. I'm fine, my wife's fine, together we're fine. Can't ask for much more than that. Well... we could ask for a smaller number of little insect jerks. I'm down for that! 😄

I miss that you too, but I love the one that is next to me right now also. *Hugs* We'll find our way back to that.

I try hard!

We were having an awesome day until I...um...disgraced myself all over the floor. That is my project for Tuesday, talk about this cough with Bethany. It is so extreme that it forces things out of my tummy without warning from the sheer muscle cramping of the cough. So I went from really great day to holy cow embarassment. Nikki is being great about it though. So weird cuz I FEEL fine. Absolutely fine. But before that we had a great day! WE went to BG, got our yummy calzones, had a lovely lunch and talked about everything and nothing. Then we drove up to Toledo where Nikki got a new Captain American/Iron Man shirt he loves wtih a really good coupon, and I scored a couple of new dresses on sale. It was a gorgeous day, and we took the longer backroads to enjoy it and chatting in the car. Nikki saw some pants he liked at Catherine's, sort of a faux brocade pattern on jeans, but they didn't have his size. He wasn't taken with anything else, but Catherine's is sort of really hit or miss with me too. They do some UGLY vaguely hawiian prints on a lot of things I love the cut of, but hate the print/color choices. He did convince me to buy the red dress I found, I was hesitant because it's a really bold color, but he reminded me he's learned to color correct the red in my face so I can wear it without looking like a beet. I missed it early, I'd actually realized while I was sorting things out after I knew about his gid that I was waiting for him to tell me he was in love with someone else, he was so checked out. I completely misread the situation. Bad Bree.

I love you, and we'll get there. I swear you'll find your way back to happy Nikki, it just is going to take some time. *Hugs*

I'm glad you had a great time, and that all the voice work you did paid off!

Hiya Lisa. It Is going to be a long road for me too ! I Am Not on Hormones Yet, but, I know that they would definitely help Me with the Dysphoria. We must All enjoy Our Journey's, I know that I Am. The Love, and Support, and Kindness, that All You Lovely Ladies, and Lovely Guy's, here on TGGuide have shown Me, is Very Much Appreciated, and It Is a Great Help.

Thank you Veronica, Violet and Stephanie. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you too! I still have a long road ahead of me. I recognize that. I am just so thankful and glad that I have the support of ladies like you as I go through this journey. --Lisa :-) <3

Hiya Lisa. You are right about Transitioning being Tough. I must admit that I Am a much Happier, and far more Contented Person, since "Coming-Out" as a MtoF Transsexual, and living Fully, Full-Time, as the Female I Am inside. Lisa, You are so lucky, having the Love and Support of Your Family. I don't have that luxury, but, the support of My Friend's, has been terrific. One thing Us Trans-Girl's are lucky with, We can wear Beautiful, Pretty, Sexy, Female Undies and Clothes. I love wearing them. I have got quite a nice selection of Undies, Clothes, and Nightwear. I Love wearing Daisy Ballerina flat Shoes, from Long Tall Sally. Lisa, Merry Christmas 2015, And A Very Happy New Year For 2016.,Good Health, Good Luck, Every Happiness, Take Care, With My Love, And Very Best Wishes, Stephanie. xx
