I had a depressingly hard time coming up with something, but I just moved, and while unpacking I found unused gift cards from Target and Home Depot :)

Maybe not a really good thing BUT I took my niece in for her shots cause my sister had to work and SHE DIDN’T CRY. She was such a little badass babe. Afterwards we went to cvs and she smiled her two bottom teeth at all my favorite pharmacy people. Also she has started saying ‘Kitty’ and it is her first REAL word. As a…

Congrats to your brother-now-sister. :) Speaking as someone who has been with a friend on both sides of the transition (born female, now male), here’s what I can advise:

While out grocery shopping, I saw a person in incredible leggings and boots carrying a tiny holiday tree (like 2~3 ft) out for a walk. The tree had a bow on top. It brought me joy.

My daughter is transgender. She came out to me 5 years ago, and slowly rolled it out to a few close friends and family members over time. She had her big coming out party last Saturday. It IS a lot to process, but it’s so great your brother (your sister, really) has you on her side. It’s OK to cry and to be scared for…

thanks! My brother told me I can ask anything I want... but I don’t know where to start?

My (now) sister came out as transgender 3-4 years ago, and it has been a rough road, TBH. It was fucking HARD, and it being hard has felt terrible. The fact that I couldn’t just automatically be on-board and super supportive and get my pronouns right and call her by her new name and remember she’s my sister and not my…

My kitty cuddled with me all night. He’s generally affectionate but he’s had a little kitty cold (which is sad for him, but kitty sneezes are so goddamn cute). And then this morning he came and slept on my chest and purred and gave me little kisses and it was cute.

It’s dopey but went to Home Depot and bought a space heater that looks like a wood stove and has little faux flames. It is so cheesy, but I love it.

You are so British, and pregnant, and great.

So took two pregnancy test today and I’m up the duff! It’s our first and we are chuffed, especially because we have had a tough time trying to conceive. Just so excited, had to share with someone (all of you!)

I’m just happy that your brother has you. It’s important to have someone to trust. :) I guess just take your time getting used to things, and follow your brother’s lead.

by saying you are not alone, do they mean you can talk to other people on line who use it at same time as you and share special moments???

I think you sound human. Change is hard (sorry for the cliche, but it’s TRUE) and this is a HUGE change. It would be weird if you didn’t feel confused and emotional. I think a support group is a good idea, not because you have a “problem” with it, but because they can tell you that what you’re feeling is normal and…

That was me last night. As it got dark I failed to realize my mechanic had turned off my lights that morning. I’m so used to them always being on I didn’t notice. I hated myself for it and needed to get that off my chest, but refuse to tell anyone I know.

I’m just a little amazed that a 73 year old is doing cocaine.

I guess at 73 you cease having fucks to give about that sort of thing.

...and more specifically, for getting caught in such an inconceivably stupid way. haha

He was very young (maybe his second year teaching, so maybe 24?) and I was 18, so he got way red and flustered and said something along the lines of “you didn’t need to tell me that.” I think he was worried that someone would overhear and think we were fucking on the side or something.

He got way flustered and said “you didn’t need to tell me that.”
