7 Facts About Gender

In the past few months there have been an increasing number of attacks on the legitimacy of transgender and gender non-conforming people coming from both the left and the right. Most of these attacks stem from either a flawed understanding of gender, misrepresentation of evidence, or deliberate obtuseness.

Thursday May 4, 2017 - Back to the gym.

I have not been in the gym in 5 months, as I worked to control my diabetes without medicine. I am finally able to keep my glucose level in the pre-diabetic range and hope to be in the normal range by fall.

I did my experimenting with food and then discovered that drinking plenty of water helped. If I drink about a gallon of water a day and maintain a strict no or low carb diet, I can get my level between 140 and 180. which is still high but not in the 400's where is was in September.

I can live on a no/low carb diet of salads, protein and granny apples.

I tract all of my water and food intake and daily activity. I noticed that when I am active either walking or working in the yard, I have lowered my level as low as 103.

So I need to return to exercising to add the workout necessary to lower my glucose level into the normal range of 70 to 110. I am now averaging 170, so I think the excising will help we get within that normal range.

I am still in good shape, as my weight has not changed much. But my shape has. Below are pictures of me in my outfits.


The first two pictures are 4 months Pre-HRT. I was thinner.

These next two pictures are me today and I am a little thicker. But I now know what to do about my glucose level, I am ready to trim down. I think with the sports bar, I can wear my feminine outfits even in boy mode without an issue. I was wearing these outfits since 2015. So I feel comfortable in them at the gym. Its my breast size that might be an issue, but I will see.

This map has larger clinics that specialize is transgender health. There are smaller clinics around the country. This would include mine in Atlanta.


This is a good start.

Tuesday May 2, 2017 - Good short video on Bra storage and care

I have been learning how to take care of my bras. I have written a few previous posts about this issue. Of course, in the past, I never had to worry about caring for bras. But nice bras are expensive. So I am trying to learn how to make them last longer.

Currently, I am buying my bras from Thrift stores because my size continues to change. But once my size stabilizes, I am going to buy some really nice ones.

The left picture is my bra drawn with my 36B bras. The picture below is how I am storing my 36C bras. I need to find a draw for my 36C bras. I think I am going to but my larger bras in the draw and the smaller cup size in my closet.

Below is a nice short video about caring for your bras.

Monday May 1, 2017 - Stockings, I miss them

Growing up in the 1960's, one of my first crossdressing activities, was to wearing my mother's  nylon stockings and high heels. Decades later my mother told me that she always thought my sister was in her stockings.

I loved the feel and look of nylon stockings. I remember as a child, learning how to wear them by watching my mother. I would wear them and watch TV in my parents room for hours.

In adulthood, as I attempted to satisfy my dsyphoria by adding female trouser socks, sometimes nylon knee hi stocks and tights (winter) to my male wardrobe.

Now that I have female outfits, it's too bad that stockings are no longer part of everyday fashion. I think they are become outdated because our current lifestyles allow most women to have naturally prettier legs without marks and pedicures that allow women to show off their feet and nails.

I still have stockings, trouser socks, tights and nylon knee hi socks, but I rarely wear them. Many of them are still in their package.

Below is an infographic about various woman hosiery.
