17/5/2017 0 Comments Estrogen levelsOvernight I received the results of my estradiol test from Monday. 74 pg/ml. From what I can tell, that is in the normal female range. Within a few days I should get an interpretation of the results from my doctor. I am guessing she will be happy with the numbers.
And I had my second voice therapy session today. It was pretty fun. We worked mostly on pitch while keeping the resonance going. That is my homework for the week too.

16/5/2017 0 Comments Relearning how to make friendsOver the last few months, as my confidence in myself has increased, I have been hanging out with new friends. Some are in the trans community and others not. I feel so much more comfortable meeting and talking with people. It is truly amazing. One of the things I am realizing is that some of these relationships are going deeper than I have previously experienced. We talk and talk and talk about all things. I feel so open to the experience.
Last night I went out with a friend who I had only ever been out with in groups of people. We sat in the booth having drinks and dinner and just had a great time. When we parted ways, we share a big hug followed by another. As she got into her car she said, "New friends are the best!" I couldn't agree more. 12/5/2017 0 Comments An inTeresting articleI stumbled upon this article today.

We started with resonance exercises. I started on those this morning. It will take some time to feel comfortable with them, but they are kind of fun. Some of it is very similar to technics I use playing the shakuhachi.
After a run in with an old acquaintance this weekend. Her voice was so horrible and high pitched I nearly screamed. I am glad that I am going with professional help to find my natural voice. 9/5/2017 0 Comments MuSicI have become much more interested in playing guitar and singing lately. I have never liked singing, but now that I am starting voice therapy, it really seems like something I want to do. First things first though. Practice that guitar!
3/5/2017 0 Comments Tatum O'NealI was reading this article this morning when it dawned on me!
http://transgenderuniverse.com/2017/05/02/my-pink-lady-confession/ When I was a kid, I had a huge crush on Tatum O'Neal! The Bad News Bears was awesome! I loved her character. She was cute, sassy and she could play baseball! I didn't realize it at the time, but I really, really wanted to be her! She was everything I wasn't in that movie. Things like this have been coming up a lot lately and they only make it more clear to me that transitioning is absolutely the right thing for me! 2/5/2017 0 Comments MeasurementsHere we are in another new month! In a couple weeks I will be hitting the 6 month mark of being on HRT! It has been so amazingly positive. My mind and body love, love, LOVE the new operating system!
So, to the numbers. My bust has held steady at about 41" but the girls are certainly developing. My under bust has held at 37". Waist is still at a disappointing 38" but my hips have gone up to 43 1/2" and thighs to 24". Starting measurements Bust - 39" Under bust - 37" Waist - 38" Hips - 42" Thighs - 22.5" 2/5/2017 0 Comments GirlfriendsOne of my biggest joys of my transition is how my relationships with women have changed. I now feel that I am connected closer to them. I no longer feel like I am after sex with them. I rarely ever was, but that is definitely how I felt I was seen.
Last night was a wonderful example. I was out with some friends. The hostess, who I hadn't seen since I started transitioning came by and told me how great I looked. When we were leaving, I went and talked with her some more, to get her caught up. It felt like we were old friends. I left smiling. |
