i'm also quite the introvert. people won't notice unless they start realizing i never share from my personal life. episodes can be shared when natural, but never too soon after it happened. so i've always prefered socializing with people who have interests we can talk about, so i won't have to suffer the gossip.
never believed in relieving anxiety with substances though, so i was very pisitively surprised by what adjusted t levels did to fix this. i still don't like gossip, but at least i'm not terrified of using my phone for what it was originally meant to be used for. i feel more comfortable in my personal space too, and physical closeness doesn't scare me anymore.

LOL. I love gossip as long as it isn't about me. I do not gossip though in a hurtful manner anyway. But who is dating who and who is attracted to who and so on. But not who is screwing around on their partners or anything that will get someone in trouble at the dispatch office or worst yet, out anyone. No I had to have chemicals and not the bad kind. Hell alcohol is just as bad as pot. Both kills brain cells but it just so happens that one is legal and taxed and the other isn't because it's too hard to tax. As for E and T. I think I am pretty much screwed up on that account. I man tits, really? Pretty much a nonexistent penis, really? I talk about a lot of women in my younger days but they have been more masculine or at least mentally than me. I mean I was watching reruns of Dr. Phil the other day and the ring and index finger ratios came into play but not about Trans issues but infidelity issues. So a guy that has a longer ring finger than index finger is more liable to be unfaithful. Same with women. If a woman's ring finger is longer than her index finger she is more apt to cheat. It has something to do with hormones. It has to do with being exposed to more or less testosterone in the womb or maybe even more estrogen in the womb. Personally I don't think it has as much to do with Transgender as much as exposure to more of one hormone than the other. I never cheated on guy or girl when I was with them. I just couldn't. Oh I dated one or the other while with someone else but it never even went as far as a kiss. Let alone sex acts. Yeah dating and so on is different and I have dated others when I thought I was getting the runaround from my girlfriend or boyfriend but it went no farther than that. No kissy and no boom boom. Maybe just a friendly hug until I know it is so totally over with my current partner. This is a long way from the wild slutty Jamie that everyone thinks, huh? It just so happens that my index finger is just the tiny bit longer than my ring finger by millimeters. Actually they are about the same length. So there maybe something to it and not so much as the trans but the fidelity deal.

they say it's androgen exposure that makes a longer ring finger. something during my tim ein my mother's womb thought i was a boy, so i got a longer ring finger. no wonder i never thought my hands were feminine enough. it's the millimeters that matter for this, and four more of them on the ring finger is actually quite a lot, for a supposed female.
turns out my body also produces more testosterone than what is considered normal for a female, enough that my current gp asked if i'd been taking steroids. also seemingly enough that the one partner i ever had, was much girlier than me, personality wise. but my body still looks way too feminine for anyone to really see me for who i am.
testosterone is a substance too, but i don't seem to notice it messing with my head at all. i feel much more normal and clear headed than ever before, and am quite convinced that it would be better to continue using this gel. female hormones made me feel horrible half of every month, and never quite happy the rest of the time.

Sometimes Taka, it does seem that nature really dictates who and what we are from the very beginning of conception no matter what Chromosomes you end up with either XX or XY. It just seems like that is just one part of the whole gender thing and that takes every bit of what??? A few minutes or so? Then there are nine months that we are bombarded with who will eventually make us who and what we are. Personally though and I am sure I will get ripped to shreds for saying it but I think there is something to the finger ratios. Not always but quite a few times. I have seen girly girls with longer ring fingers and I have seen manly men with more even ratios and or actually longer index fingers. Mine are pretty much 1:1 ratio. LOL. You were always told you have man hands? I was always told the opposite. I am sure I'm gonna' get another rip from this one too but a lot of times people see what they believe to see. With that said and here comes the rip, stereotypical hairstyles, stereotypical clothing, stereotypical movements and so on will go along way in making people see what they believe. Yeah some people may be confused and others may not be fooled but a lot are. So with that most men have short hair and most women have longer hair. Most men don't pluck their brows and most women pluck and shape theirs. Most men do not shave their legs and underarms but most women do. Most men don' wear makeup but women usually do. There is gender styled clothing geared toward male and female. The same with jewelry. I mean we have stereotypical things that just give us assumptions about people. We are never gonna' destroy stereotypes any time soon when it comes to our assumptions. I mean pretty much I am a stereotypical transwoman. I love jewelry, women's clothes, women's shoes, the softer more feminine emotions that I feel. I love my hair, makeup and so on. Yeah I am the stereotypical feminine transwoman but I am not a stereotype though. I am a unique individual even though I love all the feminine stuff and transgender. I like what I like. I love who I love too. I really hate the word stereotype though. I do believe we need to be who and what we are according to what we like and no one should make us feel bad about it. This is what I hated a while ago and I think you will know what I mean . Even we as trans judge others and use the word sterotype when we don't agree with how someone else wants to live or show their ignorance. I want to be and am feminine. It is my choice and I will never judge anyone by mixing femininity and masculinity across the whole spectrum. By default we are all non binary because we are not bound totally with our physical gender or genetalia. So I consider myself nonbinary even though I am feminine but I will never be a genetic woman and I am not gender bound according to my penis. So even if I go totally SRS, fet facial feminization surgery, a boob job and everything else to look nothing but female, I will always be trans. But I don't want all that because I, along with everyone else, am special and unique. So even if I spent millions and no one could ever tell that I was born a boy, I would still be a tranny or shemale because there are people that would have known me from birth. I think the whole reason I created this post is because people can be gay and proud to be who they are now. Maybe it is our time to be proud and loud. I mean I come from Redneck City and a lot of friends that I grew up with turned out to be gay. My best friend actually but he never mentioned it back then. I never mentioned me being trans either until recently when we reconnected. He still lives there and I don't. Yes some of our other mutual friends have something to say about him being gay like they don't agree with it but that is their perogative and I still don't tell them I am trans but I don't live there anymore but when this bitch moves back, then they will. They may not like it but it isn't up to them. I mean seriously if people can't tell from the pitch of my voice, the way I look, the way I talk, the way I dress sublty when I go home then I have plenty of rocks that are smarter than they are in my driveway. I mean gay is accepted so why are we so misunderstood? Not just Tranny and shemale but across the whole spectrum? I don't understand football but there are some that breathe it, love it, eat it up and play it. I was watching I am Jazz one day and one woman could not understand it so she couldn't accpet that Jazz Jennings is a girl. She was respectful to a point but still called her a boy because she had a penis . To me it isn't about agreement with or total acceptance but respect to be who we are openly without hating us for no reason other than "boys have a penis and girls have a vagina". I believe it is time to have a third, fourth, and fifth genders and be just as confident in ourselves as cis people are.

It does make me think about what makes one non-binary as opposed to binary trans. Could whatever process that makes one trans only happened partially in me? Maybe this means there is a physical cause to my fluidity. Really, my left side overall seems more masculine in other ways, it has always been stronger, despite me being right handed.

Maybe this means there is a physical cause to my fluidity. Really, my left side overall seems more masculine in other ways, it has always been stronger, despite me being right handed. I don't really think the finger ratio and the deciding factor of being trans or non binary is a really reliable indicator. Like Taka said though it is an indicator of possible androgen exposure in the womb. There ar other factors involved like what you do with your hands too. I play guitar and the fingers on my left hand way longer than the fingers on my right hand. This comes from constantly stretching them and making certain cords. I still have 1:1 ratios on both hands but the fingers on my left hand are at least a quarter inch more or less longer than the fingers on my right hand. I'm right handed. It's not as much the bones but the actual stretching of the ligiments and possibly expansion of cartilage. I don't other than I can span a two more frets on a right handed guitar and I have tried a lefty guitar and no go. I can do the open chords but no barchords and even power chords are a total failure. Playing piano will also stretch your fingers on both hands so it depends on hobbies, work with your hands and so on. Also since I was probably exposed to DES, that may be a big factor in my skeletal structure, fat to muscle ratio, gynecomastia and so on. To tell you the truth, I don't believe in binary trans. Binary would mean that your feelings and thinking and so on would be bound by your genetalia and hormones. So in my opinion binary trans does not exist. Some may wish it did and I am more female thinking, emotionally, attractions, preferences and so on but I can't and never will be binary. OK so I choose to embrace and present feminine but I will never be a genetic woman. If anything else I will always be a trans woman. I can live with that. I mean I have to because it ain't so bad or at least not as bad now as it used to be in some areas. I have stuck it out in the hopes that it gets better and it is getting better. We are gaining acceptance and recognition. So every dumbass law they pass for the purposes of discrimination, there is push back. There will always be ignorant people in the world and they are beyond changing their views but there are also people that label women as sluts because they wear short skirts, too much makeup and so on. Maybe the ones that use these names are jealous? Where it gets dangerous is when we try to fool potential romantic prospects. I don't. I am up front and then let them decide. Or used too until my current relationship. But if you are gonna' go to an LGBT club or socializing place then you have to be ready to meet LGBTs. Sorry but that is just a fact of life. I don't believe there is just one deciding factor but many added up. Not every DES son grew up to be trans. Not everyone that did end up to be trans was exposed to DES. We are the only animals with such extreme self awareness that we know who we are when we see our reflections. Plus life is easy now instead of all our time spent on survival and finding food and just plain old mating instinctually. We actually have sex because of love and or attraction to another person and enjoyment. Most animals do not enjoy it. It is just a primordial instinct and can be quite violent at times. Of course I do wonder about some humans though like rapists and so on that take it without the love involved and so on. We may see life as not easy and actually hard but not like it was a thousand years ago or more. Nowdays we have a chance for introspect and realizing who we truly are because we don't spend as much time just trying to stay alive. I wouldn't worry about one side being more one or the other than the other side. Chances are you are the only one that notices it. I mean I notice stuff about my body that others do not. But being trans I think is deeper than we can ever imagine in the human Psyche. I don't know why I am other than I am. It could be all that I said before and it could be that who I am in my Psyche is female. I was just born male and feel female.

I used to play guitar too, would like to get back into it, back when I was a teenager I used to play all the time. I suppose it's possible I stretched the ring finger of my left hand trying to do some chords. I never was able to do an F major and a lot of other chords though. My pinkies are seriously tiny. I used to know a girl that had a guitar that was 3/4 scale. It was so much easier to play.
I don't totally agree with you on the binary trans. There are some that want to be treated the same as cis women and those that don't. I sometimes do but also sometimes am OK with being a guy. I don't really know why that is. Maybe knowing why isn't important, I just will always be curious about it. I'm not sure knowing the why would really change anything anyway.

i'm happy as long as i'm not treated like a woman except when it's convenient. heavy lifting and getting stuff from the highest shelf are things i'm not too interested in mastering quite yet...
there's also nothing weird about being asymmetrically built. it's much more common than being symmetric. my own right side is slightly twisted in an odd way that isn't easy for others to see, but makes me unable to throw a straight right punch. it twists just a bit inwards, so whenever i feel like learning to box, i'd have to do it southpaw style despite being mostly right handed.

Maybe knowing why isn't important, I just will always be curious about it. I'm not sure knowing the why would really change anything anyway. The thing about guitar is that you have to manage the best you can with what you got to make the chords. I mean when you learn an F chord. You have three different F chord positions. You have open chords, bar chords and power chords. they all sound the same with minor variations unless you are playing arpeggios. The higher the distortion like in rock music you can get away with power chords. Classical guitar you need the proper chords but most people do not play classical guitar because there is no market for it. So say you need an F chord. The top string in standard tuning fretted at the first fret is the dominate note. The bottom string fretted at the first fret is also an F note. You can bar both with your index finger or you can bar the top two strings which would be the higher tones at the first fret. for a power chord you take the bottom or lowest toned strings and fret the E at the first fret and the A string at the 3rd fret. It is an F. Rock and metal uses a lot of power chords and you can even use drop D tuning and only use one finger on the lowest two strings. I don't suggest it though. ACDC uses a mixture between power and open chords and stays of the high E string most times and mutes it out. High E would be the highest toned E string so it goes from top to bottom holding the guitar from the closest to your face, low E, A, D, G, B, E and the last E being the smallest string and the first E being the thickest. Bu then you have three note power chords which the lower first string and the higher third string which you bar with your ring finger are an octave apart Both will be the same note but a whole octave apart which adds another layer or sound to the music. The thing about guitar is that it is not precise. Music theory is kind of simple because the main thing is that there are no sharps or flats between B and C and E and F. Composers may show an E sharp but it is actually an F note and an F flat it is actually an E note. So on guitar the frets are the notes and the next fret is either a sharp or flat. So an F note on the low E string is fretted at the first fret because in standard tuning open that string would be E and no sharps or flats between E and F. Go two frets over which would be the third fret and that would be a G note. The second fret would either be a G flat or an F sharp. Look guitar, especially rock guitar is not precise. A lot of times the High E is not even used unless it is on an open D chord or D Sus4 chord. The song Freebird by Skynered and Every Rose Has its Thorn uses the D Sus4 in which the pinky is used to to add a suspended fourth to the D which is a half step on the top E string. The easiest thing to learn is Rock Guitar. You can substitute an open C add 9 for a C and a G 5 for a G and it all sounds the same. It is really easy. A hell of a lot easier than piano or keyboards. Way different yeah. But easier if you like guitar and especially hard driving over driven distorted guitar sound. The more distorted the sound the more mistakes you can make that only other musicians can pick up on. Screw up on classical acoustic with the nylon strings and it jsut don't sound right. But learn the basics first, then go to more advanced and then rock. I mean I can watch Angus Young and pick up on his little differences from recorded songs and minor fuck ups. The same with Mick Mars, CC DeVille, Tony Iommie and others that I play all the time just to jam out. And I make mistakes even with the shit that I compose. Mistakes and wrong notes are common. Its not how many mistakes you make but how well you recover and go on. I have been so fucked up at gigs and in the beginning could not recover in the beginning and the song had to start all over again. Now I fuck up, I go on without acting like a big deal. Even big names do it. As for a 3/4 size. Forget about it because you fret fingers will never stretch. Use a full size and just take your time. The fingers will get stretched and used to it and if not then learn how to compensate. That is the key. As for the second part though. I want to be treated as a woman and often I am. But I will never be a cis woman though. So how can lie about it to those closest to me especially a lover? Oh I could care less about people that are not close friends and so on but those that I care about and care about me, I owe them the truth. They keep my truth to themselves so... I want to be a cis woman and would love to be seen and born that way but I am not. I am Trans. I will always be trans. I was born with a penis and no matter how many surgeries my DNA will never change. So I do consider myself nonbinary even though I am more a transexual woman than not anymore. Yes sometimes I have to crossdress in male clothing and pose but I still have a penis and I still have male DNA and I am not binary or bound to my birth gender. Or on more minute levels my genetic gender. To me binary transgender is like a paradox. Even with FFS, HRT and SRS, someone will eventually know. So the whole reason I started this post is why not be proud and loud of who we are. We are in the "rainbow" I just happen to be pink. But I am who I am and I am what I am. How can I deny that no matter what I do? I am 90 percent transexual if not then Iwould be a guy and binary or bound to my birth gender which would make me binary gendered. So I am 90 percent female but not binary. I wouldn't even be binary if I was 100 percent female. So I will always be non binary gender.

I'll keep that in mind when I buy a new guitar and start playing again. When I played before, I wanted it to be perfect, rather than just improvise.
I wasn't planning on buying a 3/4 scale guitar, just saying it was easier to play hers. She seemed impressed by my playing at least...
That second part, I agree. I wish I were a cis woman and I know I will not ever be. Maybe looking at this more like you do isn't such a bad idea. I really don't want to go down the trying to be stealth binary trans route. I would definitely need FFS, and that can be even more expensive than SRS. Perhaps it is hard for those trans women lucky enough to pass naturally without much effort to resist. I wouldn't want to though, worrying I'd do something that would make someone find out wouldn't feel too much different than when I was pretending to be a masculine guy and worrying someone would find out I'm not.
I'd like to be loud and proud of who I am.

I'd like to be loud and proud of who I am. Yeah. Definitely go for a full sized guitar. 3/4 or what they call parlor guitars I suggest for young children but I would rather see them learn on a full sized guitar. I can't remember the kid's name but he was nine at the time and can play Ozzy's Crazy train just as well as Rhoads could. When playing guitar then yeah, concentrate on perfection in the beginning. Also go slow. It may not sound like the song you are trying to play but eventually muscle memory will take over and then work on speed. There are millions of different practices you can do to stretch your fingers and remember do not ever over do it in the beginning because it may fuck with tendons and nerves so a little at a time. But music whether guitar, piano, woodwinds, brass winds??? or anything else takes practice, practice and more practice. As a matter of fact guitar is one of the easiest to play songs from muscle memory. Hey and if you fuck up, most people will never even know unless they are guitarists themselves. I have heard big names go way off the written or created or composed solos which are extrememly hard to duplicate and it seems that no one plays them the same. Remember that solos are written and then recorded a lot of times over and over and over again to make it sound just right. they splice them together a lot in the studio for albums but live? They just do 'em and not totally perfect. Even the ones that wrote them. I have and still do play live music from time to time now days and believe me I screw up a lot but it isn't about the screw ups as much as recoveries and not having to stop and start all over. I have seen Tesla live not too long ago and Dave Rude messed up because he looked toward Frank Hannon with an "I just fucked that up" face. Both laughed and went on and no one noticed other than me. And it still sounded good. You may not give enough vibrato her or there or you might accidentally pinch here or there or not pinch here or there or maybe mute too much and so on. No big deal though unless it is just totally awful and usually beginners that think they are better than what they are totally fuck it up and get lost afterward. Guitar Centers are full of them. Plus playing live with no music in front of you and playing from memory and muscle memory, there will be imperfections. So when learning worry about making perfect chords and sounds and then stop it because total perfection goes out the door at 90 MPH. Lie I said an open D chord is making the frets on the top three strings and starting on the open D string. Most rock musicians do not worry too much about the very top string and will mute it out unless they are going from D to Dsus4. Most rock songs that uses G, C, and D usually play G5, Cadd9 and D with the top string muted. Top meaning the high D. The reason is because a Cadd9 sounds so close to a C and a G5 sounds so close to a G and the only fingers you move are the index and middle. Most jsut mute the High E string. Every Rose has its Thorn uses these Chords. We also use the Open C in 1 tiny part and a proper D because we throw in a Dsus4 in there. OK another hint is a guitar company called Daisy Rock Guitars. Yeah they are guitars made for women but if you start with one of them the necks are usually thinner and the frets a tiny bit closer. I played them before and they are quality instruments but I still prefer my Epi SGs and Epi Les Paul. I will say that Daisy Rocks look pretty cool and not overly expensive and made for women's smaller hands and a good place to start to stretch your fingers. Then the jump to regular sized necks is very minute. Way less than a 3/4 to full sized. Then you have different neck shapes. I like a stiff neck with more distance between the back and the fret board because I move around a lot. So the thicker the neck between the fretboard an the very back distorts less than a thinner neck but a thinner neck is better to make chords on in the beginning. Don't trust the Truss Rod to keep the neck totally straight. The more you learn and the more you play with different guitars, you'll see what I mean. Look Hon. I know different places have different views on us. I still face discrimination and as for passing where I live? There are some pretty ugly ciswomen. Really there are more gays than trans but that isn't unusual. There are also a large number or bis too. LOL and I mean I am laughing my ass off at the thought but we trans women seem to get prettier the older we get and the cis women seem to let themselves go. Well down here at least. Yeah this may be aged discrimination but young people a lot of times, especially guys seem to have one thing on their minds. A lot of older gentleman seem to be more into finding someone to actually love. But there are a lot of variables in that statement too. So when I was younger it was usually gay that were drawn to feminine. Then it went toward bi and gay that were liked more femininity in their partners and now it is gay, bi, and open minded straight that seems to be drawn toward femininity and true compatible companionship and love. Actually I'm not loud of who and what I am. I am open though. Hell I really can't seem to hide it as much anymore. I would rather just live and let live. But I am proud of who I am and what I am even though it has caused me so much grief and hardtimes in the past. Still I get looks at times but could give a fuck less. I have a cis girl friend, not girlfriend, that is 6 feet and maybe then some. She towers over me and she gets the same looks that I get and she is Cis. She is straight and married to a straight cis guy that is a wee bit shorter than her. Actually she and her husband and me and my fiance' go out together a lot. We get looks but no dumbshit said at least that we can hear anyways. But here I am loud and proud. In real life I am quiet but still proud because we are special. Not in a bad way but in a way that we can actually experience way much more of being human than most humans can even comprehend. I am not male nor female but both. Psychologically I am choosing female but physically I am still male. So I am male and female, one in the same. My self identity and perception of self is so much more than a lot of society's perception of self. It does sound fucked up, especially with all the bullshit we have to deal with but we truly are lucky enough to experience both sides.
