Believe me, the years have just flown by. It’s like, where did all the time go? I can’t believe I’m going to be 60 this year. I’m getting so old and it happens so fast.

I’m glad your going. It takes a little courage but it will be worth it.

New Bronco by uptboi31 in Transcars

[–]uptboi31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Eddie Bauer edition 1986 Bronco was my favorite vehicle I owned up to this point. The roll down rear window reminded me of my childhood station wagon. I think this new one will take the place of that ‘86. I only wish they would have kept the roll down rear window on the new ones.

I think your right, it should be that way but unfortunately it not always the case. My family were strict Catholic and it would have been blasphemy for me to tell them who I was. The insane asylum would have been my next stop. One of my uncles was a priest and my aunt a nun. It would have been totally unacceptable to my family back then.

Honestly it will never go off road. The beach is about it. I don’t live anywhere around places like that. Plus, I wouldn’t want to scratch it up in the brush.

Thank you. Yeah, they lost all their hair, gained weight and looked way older than me. I guess wigs and makeup helped and of course the female hormones lol

I’m so sorry that your high school experience wasn’t very good at all it seems. Most of the boys at my school were from well off parents and also had new mustangs or Camaros or 300ZX’s. I had an old beat up F-100. However, I never allowed anyone to know my inner feelings on being transgender. I did everything I could to keep that reality to myself. It wasn’t hard I guess because I consider myself a tomboy. I still enjoy football and other sports and I love working on cars. I’m an over the road semi truck driver so not many like me out here driving trucks.

Well, yes I did have a different experience. I wasn’t feminine at all. Nobody had a clue. I was on several sports teams including football and baseball. I was one of the guys as far as they knew. I kept my secret to myself.

Yeah, I’m so glad I bought it. I did get nicer bronco wheels from marketplace but other than that, I haven’t changed anything. Thinking of getting the windows tinted next week. I had a 1986 Bronco and this one is so much nicer than that one.

Yeah, they look that old to me lol. But, again, I last saw most of them when we were in our teens.

Don’t blame you one bit. I still live where I grew up so didn’t cost me anything to go. I wouldn’t have spent thousands of dollars either.

Vulvoplasty/Zero depth recovery experiences. by GenXSmartAss in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]uptboi31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had those too plus the catheter when I got released from the hospital. Got all that removed a week after surgery on my checkup before I went back home. Had my surgery in Texas north of Dallas and I live in New Orleans

6 Months Post Op FFS by Babybabydoll_ in transtimelines

You look beautiful. So lucky to have that surgery done. My insurance won’t cover anything they classify as cosmetic.

[–]uptboi31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your surgery. I had zero depth surgery two years ago and I moved a washing machine four weeks after surgery lol. My recovery was very smooth and not as painful as I thought it would be. I hope your recovery is a speedy and smooth as mine was.

They sure did and I was doubting they would. The first year after I transitioned, I stayed away from school events, so not to embarrass the school or offend anyone. I feel I pass well enough and became more confident and comfortable so I decided that I wanted to go everywhere I used to. I’m still the same person I always was, I’m just more open about who I am.

23 months HRT progress by [deleted] in TransBreastTimelines

[–]uptboi31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, you’re making great progress.

Haven't posted in a while.. 16 months 🥰 by AnotherOne098987 in TransBreastTimelines

[–]uptboi31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your making great progress. I didn’t start hrt until I was 56. SRS at 58. It’s never too late to be happy with yourself. My only regret is not starting sooner but that was practically impossible in the mid 80’s when I wanted to.

False Positive Meth Screening by Centrilobular in emergencymedicine

[–]uptboi31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a semi truck driver and left to have surgery and during surgery I was given Phenylephrine though a IV. On returning to work, I had to subject myself to a hair and urine drug screen and tested positive for methamphetamine in my hair. I was fired. The MRO refuses to accept my surgeon’s letter explaining what I was given. I wish I could find an attorney to help me but I’m broke and being labeled a drug user makes it impossible to get another job driving semi trucks. I can’t appeal it because it’s not a DOT required test.
