Bro you know I'd go with you if you wanted to go down to Florida ;)

@ryanhowardlee Thanks buddy. I think just being back to work and having something to do is thinning me out a little. Damn I hope it spreads to my WHOLE body. LOL

@ryanhowardlee they absolutely should!!! My mom would love to talk to someone in a similar situation. I'll message you her contact info, and you message me your moms. then we can share it with our respective ladies and they can take it from there. :)

Sounds like a great day!! Hooray! Maybe our moms should talk? I dunno, just throwing that out there. Miss you dude!

Awe shucks! We miss you too! It was sweet to see your mom give you a kiss, "xmas in July"- your reaction made me bust out laughing! Thank you for the birthday and anniversary shout outs too btw. I told Jess we'd be down to visit overnight and help her pack some once Courtney returns. :) As sad as it makes me feel to say it, Michigan looks good on you bro, your face is thining out and your sporting a serious 5 o'clock shadow! :) Man hugz

i adore your mother

Its great to see you buddy! All that water has already started to thin your face out some. Ya for being off the depression meds too! I'm glad your moms been cool at work, that's got to be a big relief, being only seen as a guy among men really feels amazing doesn't it! I'll give your family a big hug for you tomorrow when I see them. Love you brother!

This is your best video yet! Looking good dude, regardless of your ridiculous hair/hat argument,LOL. You can always make me laugh. It has to be said, I will miss you a ton but I know our brotherhood runs even deeper! Fly safe and keep in touch!

@kristopheraries1573 Hey man thanks for coming by. I have actually been working on the facial hair for longer than I've been on T. :) I have PCOS and it accounts for the facial hair. But I'm hoping my T shots will fill in some gaps. lol

It's amazing on how fast your facial hair has grown. Welcome on this fantastic journey my friend.

OMG How did I not see this earlier?? You are amazing!

@MaxwellSydneyTrans Thanks for the tip! I don't want to deal with low blood sugar issues. :)

@AdriansSpace it's still happening too. There is this feeling like I have a cold coming on, but no other symptoms. Glad it's normal. Sometimes I worry I'm too happy about being on T and just wanting changes so bad I'm convincing myself of things. LOL

@BonesDGAF021 Whew! I thought it was all psychological! Thanks man. :)

so i know exactly what u mean about the happy go lucky thing & lighter on ur feet. in a way it's like ur high all the time. i notice that when my T levels drop (when i was on a 3 week cycle of injections) i'd feel MISERABLE w/ the flood of estrogen. it would just hurt to move at all, my joints felt inflamed & just no good. now i have the constant feeling like i'm coming down with a cold, for me it hasn't ever gone away yet, & i'm having issues figuring out how to eat right for my new T-body.

:) it's not in your head...I thought the same thing... I noticed it felt like I needed to clear my throat...even only after having been on T for a few days!!!

@BonesDGAF021 awesome!! I'm glad other people get so excited too! :) I'm gonna be following your footsteps lol

@BonesDGAF021 awesome!! I'm glad other people get so excited too! :) I'm gonna be following your footsteps lol

this vid got me excited about my first shot all over again & happy for u n urs.... its gonna be a great transition for u bro & im gonna follow it

@BlueZephyrTG Thanks man!! :)

@hikinghomohippie thanks man. and Congrats on the job!

sorry you have to wait longer for your T man, sounds really frustrating. hope everything happens soon for you Eli.

Awesome... just as good in Eugene on Friday night!

@videokidsam Just tonight in Seattle. :)

YES! i love that song. heard it when they were here in berkeley. where did you see them? :)

@ryanhowardlee Thanks man. 2011 is going to awesome for ALL of us, I can feel it. Much love to you and the fam, we have got to hang out again soon. I'm about damned ready to kidnap you and move you down here ... or move up there. LOL :)

Awesome Week! Congrats dude! Proof It happens differently for each of us!! It took me 3xs as long to start T. AND 6:57 is way cute/fun! 2011 is going to be the shizz!

@Lineadelrio Until I identified as ftm, I had a love/hate relationship with it honestly. I loved having it, but I hated having to deal with looks/questions/etc. Thanks though. It's not often people are envious of me. I am envious of your weight. :)

Great vid Eli. My doc has never said the Metformin she prescribed to me counter acted the testosterone. I like the met and it does seem to help those who take it lose weight. Be aware you'll be taking many trips to the bathroom until your body gets used to it. Even then its designed to break down the food/nutritions you need and dispose of the extra waste. Ive lost 2 pant sizes since starting t and met but haven't lost much actual weight. Ive gained more muscle.Keep up the training.You can do it

@youcancallmethedude I noticed that. :) I didn't go check out HER youtube till after I wrote that. Sorry :( But I appreciate it. She is very interesting and has a lot of knowledge. :)

@youcancallmethedude no worries. I keep forgetting about it, so it will be a grand surprise when it shows. Like another little christmas. :) And thanks for the info about the other guy. I'll look it up.

ill make sure to upload this to the collab, lol -Jacob

Thanks for the shout out! lol Seattle Counceling Center is awesome! Glad to hear your on your way! Intake may only take an hour, Sally (intake scheduler) always says two but I doubt it. l like the new license, sucks it had to say F, I promise most people who have to check id's likely will only glance at it. I know it seems like it will take forever but be patient as much as you can, just remember I know how you feel, call, text or fbook if you need anything!!!

@youcancallmethedude Good thought man. They did mention the student can write my T letter, gender marker letter, etc. But I'll check on that and if a future doc doesn't take it if they have a back up plan. and Thanks. I've considered if I should get contacts again, i look pretty kickin' without glasses ... but I love the studious look of my current glasses. LOL

@BlueZephyrTG Thanks Man ... how school? winding down for the holidays?

@Lineadelrio Thanks, I appreciate it. :)

@youcancallmethedude I haven't started T yet ... money is tight to pay my therapist :P I'm trying to get into a low-cost counseling center until I can get insurance. Anyways, CONGRATS on the weight loss. I so need to do the same! Did you do anything differently with exercise or diet to enhance the loss? I would love the binder if you're really ready to give it away. I'm trying so many different things right now to hide my breasts, just not duck tape.

@ryanhowardlee no problem man :) I started typing it originally and realized it would be easier to tell you. I originally started shaving it all. And my patience was HORRIBLE!! I hated shaving it off everytime. I am still clinging to every little bit. LOL right now I'm not shaving any of it ... I heard about No-shave November and thought I'd do it. My girl doesn't care and I think it's funny. It's my cut-in look and a 5 o'clock shadow right now. LOL :)

wow man, 1st of all thanks for sending me a vid responce. Ive never gotten one before. AND 2 thats def not a shadow! you have some crazy awesome red beard hair! ive been shaving every 2 days. did you shave all/some? I'm hesitant to shave my stache, the hairs are baby fine and but def filling out. I am going to make my late 4 month mark video hopefully soon. email me lets talk more for sure!

@cubecalirican It seems to depend on the social situation. I don't get it as bad as some guys, i know my voice is already a little deeper. I think it's also that I want it to be more masculine and so I "imagine" they are hassling me over it. But I have been called "Sir" and then when I speak they switch to "Ma'am" ... Ug :P

@BlueZephyrTG thanks Alex. How are you doing? How's your chest healing?

do ppl giive u a hard time about your voice? jus curious

@charlesasher I go to a United Methodist Church, but they are not, as a whole, open and accepting. Individual churchs call themselves "reconciling" and are the ones you will find acceptance at. At my current church home there is a HUGE variety of people. :) Before we moved a month ago, we were members of a United Church of Christ in Michigan. The UCC as a whole is Open and Affirming, each church may choose to be active as such or not though. Wow, I rambled on a lot. :)

dude, i remember those crazy days of being called the wrong name and stuff- and the whole fluctuation with it is enough to drive you crazy! i hope your m-i-l comes around sooner than later. what kind of church do you go to?

stealth or not ...its a respect thing..there's something about close friends, family members, and lgb people sometimes ...they just feel like they have a rightor an Excuse? i dunno... they dont. i give family a longer window to learn i give friends a shorter window but i still give them time to catch up. But I do not tolerate refusal very well. My partners mother does not say Jacob either. Mom is starting to try but her mom...no. She did introduce me as jacob once to a stranger though.

if he wants some church advice....king avenue church here is very affirming and i cant get them in contact if he wants? just let me know =) lol told u i was full of resources... -Jacob

you could invite church members to the tdor event in Tacoma? you could spend 5 minutes on the podium during that Sundays service and light a candle and have a moment of silence for those lost? -jacob

fti: Tacoma, Washington Will be holding a Transgender Day of Remembrance memorial hosted by the Gender Alliance of the South Sound on Sunday, November 21, 2010 at 6:30 PM at the Tacoma Rainbow Center, 741 St. Helens St. you could have a display at the tdor event showing that your church is accepting...that's what were doing here in columbus....IM on the tdor comitte here in ohio and were having churches and places put booths in the back showing support. -Jacob

that is so awesome you're moving to seattle. it def will be a great place to build community. it's also awesome to get a new start. i wish you the best on your journey! good luck getting on T.

@LemonEHenry the lupron is specifically to treat endometriosis (which i have too. joy.) but i believe it is strongly relieving PCOS symptoms too. and now I am on T and feeling even better. -- oh! hey! i'm going to be in seattle this coming weekend for the seattle gay & lesbian film festival. my film "genderbusters" will be screening on the 18th. you should come out and say hey! :)
