Here I sit...

Good afternoon all. I hope you are having a great weekend. Mine is not too bad.

My week went pretty well. Birdman is here for a month to work. We had lunch on Friday. I missed that guy. It was awesome to see him and just sit and talk. I wish we had more then an hour together. Maybe when we will have a chance when he gets out of camp.

I was got toonswagged this week. What is toonswagged you ask? This is toonswagged.

Thank you to JC Little at The Animated Woman for making me look like I have biceps. She even got  my eyebrow ring! I love this! 

I also had my date with Ms.PoF. I was so terribly nervous. I haven't had a whole lot of dates so I am not very good at them. We met at the Lookout. For those of you in the Fort St.John area, you will know what I am talking about. I am very familiar with the area. I used to drive out there and have phone sex with an ex girl friend. Got caught by the cops one night too. He was very polite. Anyway, I bought us coffees from Timmie's and a small fruit tray since she was coming straight from work. I thought she might like something to eat. Before the date, I quickly cleaned my place. Including clean sheets on the bed and a bottle of wine. Because you just never know. So she met me out there. First thing she said was , "Oh you are cute! " For some reason, that relaxed me a lot. We ended up sitting in my truck and talking for a couple of hours. I enjoyed it a lot. I told her I would like to see her again and she was agreeable to that. At the end of the date, I even got a few kisses Now the struggle is trying to find a time with our schedules and her kids. One has been sick so that comes first. 

That was my first date as a man. I think I did all right. I had much advice from women friends. Mostly on how to calm myself down. They are so awesome. My friends. I love them to death! 

It's funny. I have chatted with a few friends on the phone this past couple of weeks. Including Tracy my love. The first thing they have all said is "Holy shit! Your voice has changed!" And has it ever! Whiskey voice is how one friend put it. I think it is just going to get deeper as well. I am told it sounds very sexy. And that has to be a good thing. The facial hair is coming along slowly. I am told the long black belly hairs are part of being a man and to just deal with it. I just find it very disturbing. If I get chest hair before my top surgery, I am going to wax that shit off. Once I have surgery, I will let it grow in. I have to cross the line somewhere on body hair. 

I have been asked to talk to a young trans man. He is still in high school. There are no support groups here or where he lives. I don't think the local Pride group where he lives has any transgender people so he is alone. I know that feeling. A lot. Thank goodness I managed to find a few friends who I can talk with. So M is trying to set up a meeting between the two of us. Hopefully I can help him. Even of it is just listening to him. Sometimes that is all it takes. 

I guess that is about it. I have to go finish my chores now. Blah. 

The Bro Code Article # 123

Two Bros shall maintain at least a three-foot radius between them while dancing on the same floor, even when reenacting the knife fight from "Beat It", which I guess, two Bros shouldn't do anyway, or at least not very often.

  1. That sounds like an awesome first date! A nice way to break the ice. I'm sure you will be able to offer much support the young trans man, too. A person who has friends is never truly alone. :)

    1. It's more then friends. It's having someone who understands what you are going through. Someone who can answer the questions you have and set your mind at ease. I have many friends but until I met other transgender folk, I still felt alone with my struggles.

  3. It was a great first meeting that's for sure! I didn't know what to expect - clean sheets and wine to my surprise?!... lol - what kind of girl do you think i am ;)
    You were great to sit and get to know (you are a really good listener - maybe your hormone treatments will get that out of you eventually haha) it hardly crossed my mind that you are transitioning, I saw you as a man.... we had some honest talks... you ARE cute :) ... As a very hetro woman I went into meeting you with an open mind and I am happy to have met you no matter where it goes from here I think you will be someone I value.... you already are. I think you are fantastic, and brave, and beautiful (in the most manly way possible lol)
    Ms. PoF :)

    1. Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.
      I am hoping we get the chance to get to know each other better.
