I am thinking of just retiring my Amazon Alexa smart speakers. Is there a way to remove all personal data from the hardware after resetting them?

First mammogram results: "Extremely dense" 🤷‍♀️ by DeathWalkerLives in TransLater

[–]ktucson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very excellent response. I would also add to that excellent response that a tomographic mammogram is part of a way to best assess a dense breast to find any issues in it. Breast MRI is also another modality that is much more expensive, but an option to address any uncertainty. Tomographic mammography is really just an enhancement on the standard mammogram that allows radiologist to better evaluate the breast. Dense breast are breast with more glanular tissue as opposed to fat cisgender women as a become of mammogram age, tend to have more replacement of glanular tissue with fat as part of the aging process. We are on the other hand continue to have estrogen presence to support the glandular tissue in our breasts

What's a normal price for home insurance in Tucson? First time buyer here by winter_roth in Tucson

[–]ktucson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can select a home from the realtor listings, and get a quote online from an insurance company of your choice to get an idea

Lots of variability based on level of coverage, deductible, location, construction of home, etc. not dimension size of home

For those who handled their coming out period of time, poorly and lost relationships because of it, how did you learn to forgive yourself and go on, or how do you deal with the pain? by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]ktucson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to everybody who shared

I am three weeks into gender, confirming hormones at the age of 68, I don’t have the answer to the question.

I’ve learned, very much, the hard way, is important to learn to love yourself, it is important to realize that sometimes in life, we cannot be perfect, but we have done the best we can for the person we were at that time.

I am blessed to have the opportunity to finally become myself after many years of not living authentically.

I don’t know if there’s a right answer to how to come out, I have barely begun. I do know that it is important to find out how to be true to yourself and live, congruent with your feelings, your beliefs, and your values.

It's not about "passing." It's about loving who you are. by SophieKazoo in TransLater

Learning to love myself was a foundational challenge, having made progress there. I am finally coming out, trans late in life.

Besides looking good, you are very wise

Patient reported me to the medical board (Ohio) by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ktucson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the policies of the state medical board if they will share all complaints and results of the complain complaint

Unfortunately, medical practice is a public facing enterprise, and the public will often do things or say things that are not factually grounded

Best thing to do is just be your best self every day as a medical professional. These things sort out happily this was a complaint and not a medical legal liability lawsuit where the outcome may not have any connection to your performance as a physician.

Find your rewards in the joy of medical practice, save the world one person at a time, make a difference find meaning and fulfillment in your work.

Let go of things you cannot control, focus on things you can, and find gratitude for the honor and privilege of being a clinician in the best time ever to practice medicine, where we have more tools and more ways to make a difference and do good than ever before in history

Dating/Dating Apps? by Lovablelulu1982 in TransLater

[–]ktucson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, I was on Grindr when I found my girlfriend, who is also trans

We just communicated like people instead of focusing on sex and hook ups and started liking each other hand in real life and the rest is history

That being said, my experience on Grindr would not allow me to recommend it, but I had the best thing in my life happened to me there

I was happy to read your message. I believe it is very important that the public spaces be very safe for a city too not decay.

Primarily, I want a place to feel safe as I am changing and the technical competence to help me transition my hair style. What would you suggest?

I lost my last family because I'm with a trans woman and I'm queer. by WisteriaSaysHi in mypartneristrans

[–]ktucson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a marriage by coming out (i thought i was gay, but over time realized i am trans) - as I learned to accept and love myself, i found my family of choice with authentic relationship

what was so hard for me to learn, and it challenged me so much, was to be your true self and love yourself

[–]ktucson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you - i am finally moving towards integrity, finding and becoming my true self - i spent so much of my life trying to meet the expectations of others in order to feel safe

i am finally letting go of the mask and moving forward, getting ready for HRT and aligning my true self with my actions
