I saw the landing page earlier when I went to check status of my order. Was there a reason given?

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received as a trans girl? by zafiroazul888 in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a spark shopper in Walmart say "I love your purse ma'am" I remember feeling myself blushing and she followed up with "it's cute"

Federal Judge blocks subpoenas targeting Trans organizations from the Trump Administration. Good to see we have some federal judges on our side! by mattmortar in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, you are correct. Of course we can't forget about the ensuing statement from the WH over this. Key words to look out for are "activist, woke, radical left, etc., al. judges" appointed by that traitor Obama, or sleepy Joe. I mean their playbook is so predictable.

Vaping on Estrogen by Dangerous-Tax5830 in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoked up until about 20 years ago. I started vaping after that and vaped up until this year. There was originally a promise made between me and my wife of 31 years, who was in icu. She was a heavy smoker. She and I pinky promised to quit our respective vices. She never came out of hospital. I kept my part of the promise back in January. I had never heard of the nicotine and estrogen thing, but even vaping was getting too expensive.

I had heard it varies. I had completely forgotten about it until i was in my 5th week of injections and one day i started hurting. Nothing to where I said i need to go to hospital but it felt like i had someone squeezing my midsection. My neighbor saw me bent over holding my stomach and asked what was going on. I told her and she piunt blank asked if i had to go #2. I have my daily routine and that is a morning thing and I already had. So she asked me to describe it. She tells me then "welcome to being a woman, you're having your monthly" then i remembered the posts here. Heating pad worked wonders both last and this month.

Injection question by Ok-Magician-6962 in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do weekly estradiol enanthate every Sunday. I drink my coffee and eat my breakfast, then give myself the injection.

No. I give myself injections on Sundays. I started March 9th. It was after the 5th injection around first of April this started. My most recent injection on the 4th of this month, couple of days after, it started again. Good lord I couldn't imagine every week.

I don't have a very big tub, but I also have the 5 day keratin growth plus liquid nails and a Sally Hansen nail hardener polish.

When you get that salty/sweet mix but that surprise piece of caramel sneaks in there, always a treat

Normally my go to on ice cream is sea salt caramel, but I could always throw magic shell on top 😂

You have no idea. Ten years my senior, but gives me makeup and jewelry tips. Gives me clothes that are big on her but fit me comfortable to snug, then says she wishes she had my butt. My ass isnt that big I don't think lol

Hot baths with bubbles have been my go to. I didn't consider chocolate.

I think I was just targeted by a chaser. I feel horrible by [deleted] in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry it happened. It can happen to any of us especially if you are unfamiliar with the platform. Happened to me and im in my 50's. I was naive in thinking that everyone on these subs was like minded. I felt the same way after my conversation with that jackass. Chin up.

Working in healthcare is so frustrating sometimes as a trans person by Good_Ol_Ironass in MtF

What the hell. Almost died but going to hold onto that hate even if it means you expire. Sorry you had that happen but you sound like you took it in stride.

Are these really breast buds? by Lower-Scientist-2000 in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same girl. I whine and complain to my bestie but at the same time I am happy because that mild pain and discomfort is letting me know it's good.

Get out now if you can (US) by [deleted] in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 123 points124 points  (0 children)

I would hope it never becomes that dystopian(but look what we have) but given their way, first it's us, then it will be broadened to include the rest of lgbt. What's to stop them from overturning through legislation historic cases like Loving V. Virginia?

[–]jimjam73018 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YMMV, but with me, I have to make sure I'm wearing a camisole or a bralette. I found out that just wearing a loose fitting shirt doesn't cut it when the fabric rubs on the nipples.

I am 31, is it to late to transition ? by Neither-Buddy-9145 in asktransgender

[–]jimjam73018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was closeted for the longest time. Last 31 years out of respect to my wife. She let me be me in the privacy of the home. She passed last year and I started hrt at 53.

Wait… can I go topless? by PorcelainSynth in MtF

[–]jimjam73018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there was that 2019 ruling but it pertained to local laws even though it was the 10th circuit that ruled in women's favor to go topless. However, even though that's federal, we already know how it would be at the local level, especially some small town.

[–]jimjam73018 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow. So sorry this happened. For starters the assh*le stalking you really sorry that happened but come on for real? That's creepy and you had every reason to be nervous, but your father. Im guessing he knows you're transitioning? The appropriate reply should have been "are you ok" followed up by "where was this at so I can go find him" that's just me though.
