With such positive growth and acceptance, I can’t wait for the report card in the next 12 months. Who knows where this growth and acceptance can lead to !

As the famous mountaineer and Scottish author, W.H. Murray once said, ” Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”

…….. And it DOES work!!! How do I know? Because I live that truth each and every day.

Just found a City Chic in Stockland, Shellharbour. I was in a hurry but it definitely looked worth a second visit.

I think all of us at some point have in the back of our minds that we might be spotted but as I said it just doesn’t happen.

I beg to differ. On two separate occasions. First was 300km south of my home suburb, I encountered my ex’s 1st cousin at an official function. The second was an extremely close relative of mine, in the streets of Sydney; none the less (*80km from home)

Irrespective of how well you “pass” there will always be some mannerism that people will identify as being you If you’re prepared to live within those means and always be prepared, then nothing should be a problem.

Best wishes

A deep topic and one that is still not addressed, as proven.
My thoughts are that people assume they undesratand people who have sex changes, and which is generally more a desire to conform to societies Male Female roles of acceptance.
But no one in society has stopped to really think about the underlying issues, especially in Aus where Male bashing has just about become a pasttime for many.
Like everyone knows people drink, and some people end up alcholics, and there are thousands of people in between. So if we put maleness in the same aspect then people generally expect males to be men, and then when they hear the story of someone having SRS then they assume they understand, whereas, and naturally, many thousands of males can embrace being feminine and dress etc in the same vein.
But especially in Aus, where female Libbers think a road crossing sign is sexist, and I know from experience that men are not supposed to even think of entering a females worls as they are Sickos. Yet these same females readily embrace the best of their and what was once our world.
If females stopped and did a reverse Liberation for males then maybe we would have that Uni Sex world that they often talk about.
ANyway I could go on for ever but I always encourage males to enjoy the best of both worlds, and which is what we can do, and I am mostly accepted in my relationships. And I move on otherwise.
Now is a great time to be an older male and I am the POWER as not many decent males around that will put up with females who want to power play. I enjoy being their soul mate and that is something tha males should aspire to and not think about SRS especially.
And we live in a society where males suicide at 8 to 1 yet sexist traffic signals gain more publicity.

I wouldn’t worry too much about rapidly growing a big pair of bazookas and frightening your new boss. At age 50 growth will be slow to start with and, while you will feel great, to an outside observer they won’t raise any more alarm bells than ordinary man-boobs. The rule of thumb is that it will be a couple of years before you reach your full potential. Anyway your GP/Endo will have ideas about how to manage the introduction of anti-androgens and estrogen. You’ll just have to follow instructions. If there is any hint of male pattern baldness the sooner you get onto anti-androgens the better. I wouldn’t presume to comment on castration versus anti-androgens. I’m still dithering about that step myself.
Enjoy your journey.

Hi Maddie,

Let me share my experience too. It might become helpful.

I’m a38 years old,] and I tried to start HRT less than a year ago. I started with estrogen pills, but in 5 days a superficial vein in my left foot pumped up, which was because of blood clot. So I had to stop it immediately.
Then I found one of my options is to take non harmonic androgen blockers, and if I wish to go further, I can go with cosmetic surgeries. The pill is called “Spironolactone”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spironolactone

I started taking it and after a while the skin is obviously smoother, less hair growth, and just a bit man boob, which I like it. And also about changes in my personal feelings, I feel like a teenager .

Cheers

Good topic Caroline.

Just a reminder the associated link does reiterate US standards which are not necessarily adopted in Australia. Serum level conversion charts to Australian standards are available on Google.

A further reminder that as these chemicals do seriously change the body/brain chemistry they should be treated and monitored in a serious manner. Be totally comfortable with your Principal Consulting Practitioner (PCP); and at the “end of the day” it’s your body, your responsibility.

Enjoy

I went to the Taylor Square clinic and they immediately put me on low dose anti-androgens but referred me to a psych for a report before putting me on stronger anti-androgens and oestrogen. GPs who are less experienced with trans gender patients typically don’t prescribe the hormones but send the patient to an endocrinologist. I have heard of GPs out in the sticks bravely prescribing rather than making the patient travel to Sydney to see the endo.

Hey Sabrina,

Certified doctors can also prescribe HRT medicines. You can go to “Taylor Square Private Clinic”
http://www.tspc.com.au/

As I know HRT doesn’t need referral, but doctors usually tries to get sure you know what you are doing to start it, which you do 😆

All the best

Chelsea Elizabeth Manning to be freed soon, a last dash pardon by Obama.
Thanks to all those who supported her in her time of need.

I enjoyed that immensely Josephine. Did you know that “Carlotta” is just her professional public face name? At home or with her friends she is “Carol”. Whenever she appears in the media I have a little smile about the name we share. Actually I chose “Carol” for myself long before I found that out about Carlotta.

Hi ALana
I actually had LOTS of facial Electroysis years ago, and the best part was the regrowth was much lighter and I could actually wax my face in big patches without it hurting.
I know it needs to be long enough to wax and is a problem so maybe plan to do it week ends or somnetime after a few shaves.

I actually gave the face a double zap on one side to see if that helps and will continue trying to see any difference over time.
Seems like Dye and copper colours wont do the job as it doesnt work that way
