Someday, after all of the work on hair and face and my “Australian” regions (ie. Down under) I want to take some money and get myself one glamorous high end gown, something from Sak’s or Nordstroms or Holt Renfrew that costs way more than anything else I own, but is so totally beautiful.

At the start of our local Pride Parade, the Grand Marshal was reminding us that Kingston, on the last census, had the highest share of self-identified trans people in Canada. It was noted that the census is filled out by household, meaning acceptance in that household.

Today’s Pride Parade was pretty good, other than not being part of any specific group and most of the parade has become support groups and supportive agencies. I went with @KingstonTransit as I had my bus pass and presented myself as chasing the bus.

In another apartment in the building is a young lady with a dog - I see her take the dog out for its, well, and the love she has for the dog is obvious. Last week, she hurt her ankle and on Monday ended up on crutches. I have been expressing concern and asking about how she is doing, holding /1

Got a call from the folks that handle my pharmacy insurance - after a year of paying for it myself, they have revised things and will pay for Estradiol rather than the $55 for three months out of my pocket.

Nearly 200 years ago, someone built a causeway across the mouth of a river, connecting two military bases in town, army on the west side, navy on the east. A century ago, a “new” bascule bridge was put in. During maintenance a few months ago, the repair team broke it. /1

Remember for your Pride Month lunches:

I have had four cute satin slip nighties, spaghetti straps, mid-thigh, nice for the warm weather. I have now snapped the left strap on three of them, irreparably, reaching with my left arm. 😩

Looked in on the results of my latest bloodwork. Two years ago, 25 mg Spiro daily, T 3.0. A year ago, three months E, Spiro up to 50 mg, T 3.8. A year of 75 mg later, latest T: 8.2! Sounds like time for an Orchidectomy.

I have gotten used to gently correcting how my name is pronounced. It is not Mar-keet-a as many try, but Mar-k(y)et-ah. My GP updated my medical records by putting the pronunciation in the provincial medical records name field itself.

Halfway through last month, my 12 year old desktop PC died. I got my hydro bill on Thursday and my power use was done more than 20%. That computer could have been 40% of my monthly electricity use. In Canada, hydro = electricity.

Do you remember the game consoles you got in order? Pong Atari 2600 Nothing else since - a few desktop PC or tablet games, but not a dedicated gaming platform.

So @bsky.app desperately needs a tablet version of its app designed for landscape use as it is wonky as all get out otherwise on a tablet.

Doctor had no qualms boosting my Estradiol to 2 mg when I noted no nipple development, at the appointment in a clingy track suit and no bra, she noted before I mentioned them that my breasts have definitely arrived.

Dealing with a Chaser who is too scared to actually flirt, even if he is not my type. Came up with a way to describe him: Trans-Gander

On the passing of Raquel Welch, I spoke of her starring role of Myra Breckinridge, her playing a trans woman. I recommend against watching it - it is described as the worst movie ever made. Came across a poster and corresponding scene to demonstrate that.

For later life transitions, here is a recent article from a national Canadian magazine: macleans.ca/society/my-t...

My Trans Awakening—at Age 66 - Macleans.camacleans.ca I came out after a lifetime in the closet. Now, I've found a community of people just like me in Calgary's Rainbow Elders.

Today is one year on Estradiol, only 1 mg a day sublingual, but at 60 years old, that is rather appropriate for women my age given my bloodwork. Pretty reliable bust and butt development, but no infill of my hairline. Thinking of getting a temporary bump for six months to 2 mg to see effects.

If you are in Ontario, Canada and your after tax income is somewhat shy of $40,000, go to OntarioElectricitySupport.ca - you may be able to get a noticeable subsidy of your hydro bill. For my retired income, I am paying nearly nothing now.

Ontario Energy Board | Ontario Electricity Support Programontarioelectricitysupport.ca OESP is an electricity support program intended to provide ongoing monthly bill payment support to low income consumers. For these consumers the program will replace the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit.

Well, my dozen year old desktop computer died yesterday - it started making a noise the day before and giving off a smell. I have a Raspberry Pi that I think I can configure to take over as my email server, but not a pain I needed.

Post a movie poster from when you turned 18 The temptation is to go with something like The Keystone Kops, but actually this is more accurate:

post a movie poster from when you turned 18 this literally came out on my 18th birthday

Trans Question: For those who have taken Progesterone, how long were you on Estradiol before adding Progesterone?

Aspirational Achievement! Ordered a couple summer weight women’s suits three years ago, but my waist at the time said “too small!” Tried it today, it fits! 11 months of E helped get me there. Now if the body hair would go away…
