So good to see, hear, that being 50 doesn’t stop us from becoming. I’m 49 and am just starting to watch a lot of UA-cam videos! Just bought my first binder. The rest is trying to deal with the ultimate fear of taking the next step!! Thank you for sharing ur steps!
Thank you. One little bit at a time. When I was the most scared about the process, I simply assured myself that if it wasn't working for me, I could stop at any time. As I came more and more into myself, the fears faded. We all have our answers within, it's just a case of finding the space (and courage) to listen, and to follow our long-lost instincts. :)
Hey man - I followed you and your videos years ago when you were early in your transition, and I in mine. You were one of the people who anchored me in my journey, even though I never spoke to you, just watched all your videos lol It’s hard to believe so much time has passed and I find myself in a place I never thought I’d be, but here I am. And here you are! I was just thinking of you tonight and am glad to have found you’re still here. It’s crazy, but you made such an impact on my life - I’m forever grateful to you for sharing your journey. Thanks man, and hope all is well with you. 💜
So good to see you brutha!! I hit 7 in Feb. I just hit 7 on my top surgery.. I love that your dysphoria is such that no more surgery is required to help you feel whole. Gosh. I wish I was so lucky. Hahaha I think we are fortunate, beyond fortunate, to live in the PNW where we do have rights and protections. Kudos to your employer! Mine is the same way and I absolutely love it. Working for the State of Oregon has been liberating. As has living here.
Hi Stine. Always a pleasure listening you. For me on 11th it will also be 7 years. Years are flying and I feel so confortable that I hardly don’t remember how it was to be on the other side!!
Believe it or not, I was just thinking about your channel the other day, Stine! I remember seeing your first couple videos drop all those years ago. So glad to see you doing well. I appreciate your openness and sharing your experience with us. I'm coming up on 5 years on T myself. Happy solstice!
Happy 7th birthday Stine! I just celebrated my 5th. Your videos really helped me in the beginning as I am an older guy too. Thank you for your openeness! I have one question which is a bit delicate so please feel free to not answer it: Does your sexuality changed over the years? I mean to who you feel attracted, which kind of sex you desire. I'm asking because I'm still figuring it out and sometimes its confusing. Greetings from germany and all the best for you!
Confusing indeed! I am in a long-term (24 years) relationship, and I am not out dating, but I am very aware that my interests and experience of sexuality has shifted considerably, and for the entirely of my transition. It has broadened, and now I feel like labels are just limitations, so I don't even bother to give it a name anymore. At first I kind of judged myself for urges and interests, and now I just let it all be there. Best wishes!
@@TheAugustineMachine Thank you for your answer! Good point not to judge yourself or put labels on. And congrats to your long-term relationship, thats really beautiful.
It's on the to-do list. Seriously, like, this week or next. This far in, the details are subtle and even more internal, and getting that across is a particular challenge. :) thanks!
