    Super keen to hear Chaka Khan and Chic in concert. But I don’t want to pay. Anyone else keen to sit on a blanket outside the fence and just listen? We could also dance. We’ve all seen bands and light shows and those people are old. They’ll be amazing and it’s the jazz fest so I’m hoping it’s disco with jazz flair. Cos seriously chic although paying a shit ton of my bills over the years are done to death. Chaka Khan on the other hand could sing the fucking phone book and I’d be balling my eyes out at AB.

    My apologies for ranting a lot this week. I have had serious doses of both misogyny and misgendering from people who really should be better recently and this place is my journal and vent. Still, I understand we don’t come here just to complain. I don’t want to offend men or sound like a basher, all the guys here are great. So again, I’m sorry if my misandry has made anyone feel isolated or frustrated. Its unfair to paint every man with the same brush and the last thing I should be doing here is creating any kind of tension or division. Because misandry is as bad as misogyny and we all should be looking at ways to reduce both. nuff said I think.

    I just passed six months on hrt and did myself up really nice to go to dinner with a new friend last night. She couldn’t make it and I waited 45 minutes for her, drove for an hour between home and fitzroy and back and of course spent two hours prettying myself up for the affair. I still felt absolutely amazing anyway and she really needed to spend time securing a safe place to live. Gender euphoria is reported less than than all the bad stuff and bad press about having a gender incongruence, but it’s a completely beautiful natural high which can last moments or hours. Last night I didn’t want to go to bed as it was one of the times it kept giving. My physique is changing more rapidly now and it’s pretty fucking fun and so rewarding. thx for reading. Yesterday and today are real milestones in my journey.

        Thanks mate. Appreciate. I’m resilient and I’ll state my boundaries and tell the people concerned to be better. :) I’ll try to be nice about it too.

        It happens to many of us from a very young age and it’s mostly where psychologists focus their diagnoses of gender incongruence nowadays. Less about what makes you feel like shit about your body and what make you feels amazing about expressing your mental gender. We don’t “identify” as another gender, our brains are physically another gender. Hrt allows our brains to function correctly. At least this is according to the current science. It’s science so new things are discovered but the research into transgender people’s brains has been stifled by church groups and bigots. I’ve been like this all my life and have euphoria with realising what it meant in my earliest memories.
