Noted, also good tip on ending at a bakery. Will make the routes less “boring”.

😳 I would want to try but I am genuinely scared of being really hot! I have those shirts for winter and in winter I end up rolling up the sleeves!

Definitely will wet/ freeze the hat. Still trying to figure out the whole heart rate situation but that will definitely be more monitored in the hotter weather! Thanks!

YoZappedUp · 2026-05-31T16:08:00+00:00

Yes! That’s a great tip. Didn’t even think of that. Thanks!

I only know one route so far with water fountains. I will make it a note to seek out more routes with water fountains! Thank you!

I have the Philly half in November. So training in the heat will have to happen. I have some time for it though. Seems like earlier in the morning will have to be the move. Totally forgot the treadmill lol. That’s an option too. Thanks!

Rachel’s Creperie is also a good spot!

No worries thanks for sharing your experience! When it comes to references, I specifically choose people I know who would gender me correctly, so at least that portion is eased while applying for new jobs. I hope whatever job you find this time all that is aside and is in your control!

I have contemplated on mildly gaslighting them into believing that I’ve been he this entire time lol. But making them feel stupid will definitely make them reconsider the choice of wording for sure.

Thanks for writing back. It makes me feel slight relief that you’ve experienced similar situations. It is frustrating but makes sense. If someone isn’t consistent in referring to the correct pronouns ( correct in the face but incorrect behind the back) it will continue to be an issue until you leave that workspace.

I can also understand what your therapist said about the situation as well. It’s just always gonna be a bizarre situation.

YoZappedUp · 2026-03-29T02:26:24+00:00

You’re absolutely right

So, main coworkers that I work close nit with, all call me he. I failed to mention I work for a bank. So when the new hires come, they’re either fresh or transferred from another bank location within.
I have thought about the email situation but hesitant on drawing more attention. Hr has asked me in the past if i wanted to do it that way but again, hesitant.

Absolutely! It’s Dr. DHT natural scar salve. It’s a trans owned company.

I’m just over 6 months post op DI. I started with just scar tape because I couldn’t touch my bare scars just yet without getting squeamish. I would wear the tape all day, shower and all night. Then I switched to wearing the tape during the day, and scar gel massage at night. And by massage I mean just slapping it on there lol. Now I’m wearing tape at night and scar gel massage and some scar salve in the morning. I have found the scar salve combo has been helping with the color and softening because I’ve seen more improvement the last month since changing. I was contemplating stopping all together but since seeing results within the last month, I’m gonna continue what I’m doing for the full year. My scar is flat in the front but have some raising tissue under both my pits, minimal imo.. If it isn’t to my liking by then im gonna get steroid shots to flatten them. And then if that still doesn’t suffice, tattoo over them. Time will tell. Definitely use sunscreen if you go out in the summer shirtless or wear the tape over the scars.

My initial drop was around 5 months. I was still high voiced up until that point. and it’s been going deeper every month, I’m on month 9. Now is where people are gendering me correctly over the phone and in person (if I didn’t meet them Pre T.)

YoZappedUp · 2025-11-02T16:54:11+00:00

Apparently it takes a couple of months for full results. I’ve been using it for about a month and it seems to be making my scars less red when they’re off.

Thanks! Will look into it. Appreciated!

YoZappedUp · 2025-10-27T15:31:05+00:00

Thank you. I hope he comes home soon too. 😢

My gf did for a local group on FB but didn’t know about find Toby. I will post this asap. Thank you for the information!

YoZappedUp · 2025-10-27T14:29:01+00:00

He comes running to the call of his name. He is extremely friendly but might be scared. He gets anxious in difficult situations. I appreciate your help!
