Or...at least off to attend another Veteran's Administration transgender support group meeting.
It will be interesting in a sense if I can relay what I learned at the Trans Ohio Symposium. Including feminizing vocal sessions and free wigs and breast forms. As I wrote before, with the increasing numbers of woman vets the VA is seeing now, wigs and breast forms aren't so surprising.
Hopefully, the meeting will be attended too by the person who always complains about the VA not doing more for it's transgender veterans. Basically, you can get help with HRT and not much else, such as surgery. I can hear her now...she doesn't need breast forms, has already bought a wig, so where are the make-up classes???
Regardless, I think I am going to wear my tight jean style leggings along with one of my new lightweight gauzy tops for the trip.
Plus, in case you are curious, the car is back and no (Connie) it isn't old enough to have the the side "wing" windows. It's a warm day though, time for the "270" air conditioning. Roll down two windows and drive 70 miles per hour. I may have to wear my hair pulled back today!

I'm Such a Boob!
I have written here in Cyrsti's Condo too much lately about my bra shopping trip recently. What I didn't mention was how I planned to "fill" my purchase.
Last night, Liz and I were planning to go see her Dad, grocery shop and run a few other errands. I have a low cut long black sweater I was planning to wear, so I figured it was time to "play" with my new bra. It's a "C" cup and I'm only a full "A" with the effects of HRT. The "B" turned out to be a bitch to fill. With the bra, I also bought a pair of small inserts to fill out my "C" bra which turned out to not be enough to work.
At my size, I need a full "C" or "D" to fill out my fashion needs plus I feel breasts are one of the top three tools to a successful presentation. I don't have a visible Adam's Apple to speak of (no pun intended) but do have a short thick neck. I need a "V" neck top to add a longer line to my upper torso look. Any cleavage I can add helps me present feminine with less problems plus if a person is in the middle reading me as a transgender woman, breasts may put me over the top but I digress.
I still needed "fill" to go to a full "C". I didn't want to resort to going back to my "D" silicone breast forms but I did. Turned out to be a good move. The only thing I sacrificed was my pride. My new bra was an under wire push up model so between my natural breast growth and the inserts, I was easily able to achieve a realistic breast look. Specifically when I bent over at all. I was happy, my girls weren't all mine of course but anymore more, who knows how many genetic women aren't playing the same game?
Once again I wondered "what took me so long, you boob!"

Do you know "Art"
The "Art" I'm talking about is the "Art of Purging".
As I write on my book projects (I'm a hoarder of words), I discover aspects of my past that I have totally forgotten. What's that saying "I have forgotten more than most people know?" In my case I'm pretty sure I've forgotten more because of my age!
For whatever reason all of the sudden I began to think about "purging". If you don't know, the term refers to the disposal of your feminine articles.
Looking back on the process, I came up with about three possibilities of how purging worked:
1.- Private. You took it upon yourself to throw your stuff away.
2.- Semi Private. You tossed a portion of your things out for someone else to see and kept the good.
3.-Total Dispersal. You took all of your feminine belongings and heaved them out of your world for someone else to see.
Regardless of the method one overriding memory came through to me-euphoria! I truthfully never purged much and never totally but the mere act of stuffing some of my girl stuff into trash bags and sending them to the trash was symbolically wonderful. I had finally faced the monster, beat her like a drum and was ready to resume a total masculine existence...Yeah right!
My fondest memory of a purge was when a friend of mine cleared out his storage unit of feminine contraband and gave me the pick of what I wanted which included my first real set of breast forms.
Of course the "tragedy" of purging is it doesn't work in the vast majority of cases. The euphoria and the great resolve to to separate one's self from the gender confusion departs quickly.
