Ivy's Growth

I'm Ivy, your friendly 31yr old trans woman who is fighting to keep her job serving this country. Crazy, right?

HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S DAY!!!!

I'm back after a much needed break, and only a few weeks closer to being out of the Army. Here soon you'll see me from atop those wind turbines providing power. Love you.

They got rid of my Adam's Apple finally. That was a fight I didn't like going through with the Army.

Quick friendly suggestion: If somebody ever offers you a ride in a time machine, politely but firmly say NO. (Especially if they also offer you a bag of weed.)

Why can't I ever get a stylist or barber to listen? It's really simple what I want done...

Even the top out, take it off my ears, and line up the back. That's it.

But no, these jack asses manage to fuck up everything by doing what they want. Ugh.

Okay. So this is one year, three months, and ten days. I started off on 2mg E, 100 Spiro. Progressed to 4mg E, 200mg Spiro from 6 months until my year mark. Talked with the doctor constantly about the fact that my levels never went up. Finally about three months ago they put me on Lupron instead of Spiro and my T dropped through the floor, but my estrogen levels stayed around 41 after everything. Turns out my body was metabolizing the estradiol pills before they could do anything. Two months now on injections and I am here. Just food for thought, but sometimes what works for others won't work for you. It took me this long to get here.

Finally have my first laser hair removal appointment next week. I have been fighting to get in for months now and finally got it. This has been a big thing for me dealing with getting up every morning and looking at myself in the mirror. I am just so glad to finally get it started.
