Not feeling good.

16:47 Jan 27 2017
Times Read: 276


Ever since I went to the hospital for my CAT scan I have been feeling off. When I was at the hospital my BP was ok, but my pulse was through the roof at 92. They had to give me three doses of Metoprolol IV. Last night, I took my BP it was now high too with the lower number in the high 80's. This morning I did my walk and my BP was 139/91 and my pulse 137. I am eating right, I am taking better care of myself and yet my BP and pulse dont reflect it. Why am I even bothering? The damage ia done. I am destined to die a fat ugly cow. And it will probably be soon. I will probably be laying down and my heart will just explode. Well time to stress out over school work before the weekend or my next hospitalization, whichever comes first.

Being transgender

17:57 Jan 25 2017
Times Read: 305


I refuse to let the world say I don't exist. I am an American and I deserve the same rights as everyone else. I am tired of being told that expecting the same rights is demanding special rights. I am sick of being told that I should not be a part of society, that I should hide so as to not make cis people feel uncomfortable. I am sick and tired of conservatives making laws that discriminate against me. I fear that very soon, doctors will be able to refuse to treat me because I am trans, I will be refused to be served in a restaurant because I am trans, that any Evangelical Christian will be able to discriminate against me for housing utilities and other necessities of life because I am trans. All anyone has to say is that providing these goods and services goes against their religion and its all will be legal under FADA. This is what FADA (First Amendment Defense Act.) will bring, more hate and discrimination because people fear transgender people. They think we are all a bunch of degenerates, rapists and perverts. This is going to be a very scary four years.

I'm an asshole.

01:47 Jan 24 2017
Times Read: 382


I have been under the influence of hormones and during a mood swing and depression and fear I made a journal people found offensive. The last line of the journal stated that now I know what the Jewish people felt like under Hitler. I apologize. I admit I am an asshole and deserve the negative honors. I am truly sorry to those I have offended.

I totally never pay attention to anything you say but this kind of annoys me.

You have the right to express yourself, people who don't know your life personally can't know what you are going through every single day; no matter how much you post in your journal.

You feel scared, tired, upset, like being yourself is going to create a calamity which makes your life crash down around you and you can't openly say it, you should be able to say it here.



The people who were offended, they can do whatever they will do. If they feel you made an ass of yourself, they will give you whatever punishment they feel necessary in order to push you down into a corner. It isn't helpful, it is only meant to make you feel bad.



Anytime you feel like you are right you should never back down. The way we handle ourselves in adversity is very telling. I don't think you are an asshole because you said something when you were depressed and anxious. Even if it seems extreme and inappropriate it was the comparison that came to mind for you.

For all I know, maybe sometimes you do fear for your life.

You did nothing wrong, fact is IF Trump and his vice president could get their way with no opposition, you would feel like a jew during the Nazi invasion.

I have heard plenty of comments and desires by them to perform electroshock therapy and who knows what else on LGBTs, basically its the same as Jews in that you get persecuted for being "different". Ha different...all humans bleed and die the same, there is no difference. They had wiped the lgbt community from their website or so I read.



The only difference compared to back then is that currently you are not being forced to go for the "treatment" Trump has yet to have the power Hitler had and with the progressiveness of most of america, he will have a difficult time doing so.



But your concerns and fears are not misplaced, you have a right to express your fears. Problem with this site dearie, is that it has got plenty of over-sensitive pricks looking for excuses to have a go at someone. Just ignore them because what they say or do should not matter to you. Just be yourself, honest and true.

Mood Swings.

10:20 Jan 23 2017
Times Read: 425


I know I have probably said this once but I think I need to say it again. Right now in my transition with the hormones, I am very prone to mood swings. Sometimes I can get VERY emotional, VERY moody and sometimes just downright depressed. This is normal. It happens. I am going through a second puberty. So I ask for your patience and understanding if you see me losing my shit or going off the wall a bit. Sometimes venting on here is therapeutic. Getting the crap out instead of holding it in so I dont have a total meltdown. Once again, please be patient with me here. I really appreciate it.

Just had a chat with an older trans woman. She helped get my head and my ass wired together. Nothing is going to stop my transition. NOTHING. Not Trump, not the knuckle draggers who hate me just for being trans, NO ONE!! This bitch just got her fuck you boots on and is going to start kicking. If you are with me, I appreciate it. If you are against me, stay the fuck out of my way!! This bitch will go down fighting. I am Elena Marie Durant and no one is going to keep me from being me.

Darkness has fallen.

20:35 Jan 20 2017
Times Read: 526


Darkness has fallen in America. Today our nation became a theocracy. Pat Roberson and his ilk, our mullahs. Republicans will soon pass FADA and Trump will sign it. With that, Christians will be able to discriminate against anyone they feel like and cite their religious beliefs and get away with it. I already have zero rights under the constitution as it has no protections based on gender identity. Its only a matter of time before the military or a civilian militia comes to my door, weapons drawn to take me away for execution. So much for living in the land of the free.

Well if they come for you just stab them or something, let them work for it.



Seriously though, you don't need to worry that much, Trump is still just a puppet and thus needs to get the government's approval before he can impose his "vision" on america.

America is more progressive now, so his desires won't accepted so easily.



Why complain when you can try do something? I am sure there are thousands who think the same as you, get a petition done or something, invite media attention to the issue etc.



Point is, when enough people shout, someone does listen.





 

I may go down, but I am never out

22:31 Jan 19 2017
Times Read: 604


I am not going to let the fact that my state does not allow me to change my gender marker on my birth certificate bother me and get me down. They cannot take away the fact that I WILL be changing my name legally and that WILL be on my birth certificate. No matter what, my death certificate will still say that I am Elena Marie Durant. Thats what would go on my headstone, my obituary and thats what everyone will know me as. So what if the death certificate says I am male? I aint going to be around to care and everyone that knows me knows I am female. The gender marker on my license, the most important document I carry, will state that I am female. There are no gender markers on Social Security cards nor Medicare Cards.The name on everything else will be Elena including my charity care papers and card. How they gender me as far as hospital records go is anyones guess. I am hoping that future hospital bracelets will state that I am female at the very least. Whats in my medical records, well, I guess they do have to state that I am male to female transgender even if the sex states female. I also hope that after the name change and change of documents, I dont get stuck with male patients as that would be very uncomfortable. Especially when they say, here are your medicines Elena or Ms Durant. As a final note on this topic, change may be coming very soon. Another male to female transgender person is suing the state of New Jersey to be able to change the gender markers on birth certificates with a doctors letter stating that the person in question is clinically changing their gender.(i.e. on hormone replacement therapy) The state assembly has been trying to change the law as well. The only thing in the way is Governor Krispy Kreme. He has vetoed the bill every time it has come up and the last time the assembly failed to over ride the veto by one vote. So whether plaintiff in the lawsuit wins, which is likely because the lawyer filing the suit won a similar case in Pennsylvania or Governor Krispy Kreme leaves office. Eventually I will have the right to change the gender marker on my birth certificate. That will most likely happen no later than sometime in 2018 when Krispy Kreme is finally out of office. Although with Bridgegate, that COULD happen sooner!!

Been trying to make positive changes in my life. I am transitioning, I am going back to school and TRYING to lose weight. It hasn't been easy and as you can see from my posts there have been some bumps in the road. I have to do this. I just cant sit around the house while the world goes by. Mom wont be here forever and I want to make something of myself. I also wish I could find love and someone to be with and grow old with. But I dont think thats going to happen so I have to focus on the rest. Well enough social media. Got to get to online class.

Still in a bad mood

I am still in a shitty mood. I dont feel like doing anything. Between not being able to change the gender marker on my birth certificate which makes me feel like less of a woman, wondering how the hell I am going to survive Trump and total republican rule over the next four years and just dealing with dysphoria in general. I just hate life in general right now. I care so little that I decided to try the injectable estrogen that I have had sitting around for months. I had bought a scoring tool to open the glass ampoules the stuff comes in. I drew the stuff into syringes but neither ampoule seemed to have the full 1ml of liquid. Now I dont have to take estrogen for the next two weeks at least. Been trying to di my school work but after three and a half hours, I just couldnt do any more, especially English Comp, it it SOOO boring!! So I shall just mope the rest of the afternoon and evening. I dont see my mood improving any time soon.

Thanks for making sure I will never be able to amend the gender marker on my birth certificate unless I get SRS. Thanks for letting me know that in your eyes and in the eyes of the state, I am not a real woman. Now I feel like I am less of a woman, like I am not even human. Then again, most people consider trans people to be immoral and sub human filth to be wiped out. And people still think this is a fucking choice? Even people born in Pennsylvania can amend the gender marker on their birth certificates. Even though there is a lawsuit pending, It may be YEARS, if ever before I get the right to be legally a woman. After all, there is no guarantee this lawsuit will be successful, especially with the new administration which is very anti LGBT. I was in a good mood, not anymore.

Sorry about the rants.

Times Read: 759


I am sorry about my rants, but I have been in a bad mood and that makes me impatient. Some of this is from life events, but its also from the hormones. I am feeling things I never felt before in my 46 years and I havent been able to control it. At the moment I just want to have my transition including SRS done like right now. I want to be complete and I am nowhere near that completion which frustrates me even more, I am hesitant to want to go on anti depressants or meds for anxiety as I hear they can make you gain weight. I certainly dont need that. I just hope I can get all this under control and soon. I dont want everyone thinking I am a complete basket case.

If you have real anxiety it can rob you of live experiences. Go to a psychiatrist and get low dosage xanax. Just having one in your pocket IN CASE you find you need it can empower you to do things you would now be afraid to try. Good luck!

This has been a bad 24 hours. First I failed in my duties as an ACM. Then I screw up my nails trying to fix some chips in them. Then I got the reminder that post op trans people don't really like us pre op people. That just made me feel like I am not trans enough or womanly enough as a person. That just added to my dysphoria. Then a friend that was supposed to do dinner with me failed to do so. So now I feel like the ugly girl no one wants around. My mood is rotten to say the very least I don't know what the fuck to do. I sure as hell don't feel like dining alone like some freak. Part of me just wants to go to bed and forget about the world.

Mary you have been a great CM and have treated better than I deserve. Bottom line is I failed to induct Fallen Angels last night. Thank God she was inducted by someone friendly or we would have had a disaster last night. Alll because I wasn't fast enough. I am supposed to be one of the fastest ACM's but that wasn't the case last night. Someone else beat me to the punch even though I was watching and I thought i was doing my job. Beaten by less than a second or so it seemed. Maybe it was more than a second and my slow ass didn't realize it. Either way I failed you.

This has been a rough morning for me. A lot of dysphoria especially since I am shaving. Its task I hate so very much. Its like a giant fuck you from mother nature. I have had one laser appointment, I have another laser appointment tomorrow and a third thats paid for. I know I will need to have more laser sessions after that but laser wont get it all. I have to get electrolysis for the remaining grey and white hairs. Then an older trans friend who has had bottom surgery done reminded me that there is a great divide in our community between pre op and post op trans people. It seems like pre ops hang with only pre ops and post ops hang only with post ops. I know she didnt mean to do this, but it just made me feel like I am less trans less of a woman because I am pre op and I dont know If I ever can get bottom surgery. I want it and I am trying to lose weight to accomplish my goals. I am thinking of getting bariatric surgery to help with this. Needless to say I am in a rotten mood right now. I am preparing to go out and I hope that will help.

Then I have to go to War-Fart or Staples to get printer ink and manilla envelopes so I can copy all the papers I filled out for name change and then get them sent in. Of course, if I go to War-Fart, I will have to look at other things like maybe another color of nail polish or maybe some costume jewelry or maybe even another color of eye shadow.

I am going to get booted out of school because of this. NOTHING is going my way and I am destined to be a pauper for the rest of my life. Add to that, I am going nowhere with my transition because I cannot get my name changed and I will probably never get SRS the way things are going.

On top if that, I cannot get my tax return trans scripts so I could get booted out of school. I am really upset tonight. More dysphoric than I have ever been. I just hate myself and my body.

CSX 3166 is on Q-158, an intermodal train from Chicago to South Kearney, NJ at Bergenfield, NJ 1/7/2017



UP 2628 on K-623

Last train in the parade, UP 2628 is on K-623, empty ethanol tanks, I THINK they may be out of Philly and they are headed back to the midwest for another load of ethanol coming off track number one onto the single main at CP-10 in Bergenfield, NJ 1/7/2017. The snow is really coming down at this point.



After this train, I went to a 7-11 and got myself some food. I kept looking at the radar and I was smack dab in the middle of a band of heavy snow and it was obvious that the snow would not be stopping any time soon. There was an inch or more on the ground so I called it quits. The ride home was slow, but I got home in one piece. Enjoy the photos!

Going through with it.

Just filled out the paperwork to petition the court of Bergen County to change my name legally. It wasnt that complicated and the (CIS) form while more difficult had a guide to walk you through it. Tomorrow I will try to call the lawyer that drew up the power of attorney and moms will just to make sure my name change doesn't affect any of this. I am assured by most people that it will not. Then I got to cut a check for $250 and mail it all in. Then comes the wait for the papers to come back and get a court date. I have filled out the sample form to be sent to whatever newspaper the court tells me to send notice. That will have to appear in the paper two weeks prior to the court date. This is another move forward in my transition and another step forward to the rest of my life. I am excited and scared at the same time. I just hope my father who has accepted my transition so far will be supportive in this as well.

Not feeling Trans or Womanly enough

I just dont feel trans enough or womanly enough right now. I am only on pharmaceutical HRT for seven months. I am only starting to go full time, my dead name is on all my documents and SRS is years off, if I can ever get it. Right now I feel I am but a boy in a dress and I hate it. I hate having this junk between my legs. I want it gone. I wish I was born without it. I want to be a real woman, not a cheap imitation. Feeling disgusted about myself right now.

May never get to change my name.

I want so very much to change my name legally to Elena, but I cant. Mom's asshole brother and sister would probably contest moms will. After all, the estate goes to Dead Name, not Elena. Then there is the power of attorney. I could screw that up and I cant risk doing that. Mom isnt competent to pay her bills so I have to. Signing that damned name over and over every month. So in effect, I have to wait until mom is gone until I can change my name. I am 46 now and lord knows how long she could live. God love her, She gets the best care money can buy so she could live well into her 90's That means she could outlive ME. That means I go to my grave as dead name and Elena will never legally exist. I should just go back and change my name everywhere back to John Eric Durant as thats who I will always be. A MAN who takes care of his mother. The one that is responsible and never get what he wants. Duty is all I have. Duty, what a MAN does, not a woman. I just wish I could die right now so I wouldn't have to be a man one day longer.

well changing your name isnt quite that bad, its a little work, and you will heve to do a bit, but 1.i goes thru the courts who publish it in a legal paper... 2. If I remember right that send few clippings of the add you run. 3. Your social security number does not change so the names are still linked in that regard. Youll have to get a new Driver License that number will possibly change, not quite sure because with me it was my last name I changed and Licence number starts with last initial.

You will have to send letters and fill out possible paper work to any bills, credit cards or anything you deal with saying youve legally changed your name and will be using said name from now on...

Woman or man, a duty is a duty. Gender won't fix who you are on the inside. But good luck on changing the name. It shouldn't be too hard.





 

First day of college

Today was the first day of college. Spent four hours between the two courses and I am beat. What the hell was I thinking?? What possessed me to think I was good enough for college?? My people were not evolved for this. Looking it myself, I am short, stocky and if I were in shape, i could probably break a telephone pole in two. My people were evolved for one thing, HARD MANUAL LABOR. Thats why I dont have much in the way of brains. I hope I can do this and not flunk out. If I do, I will owe a SHIT TON of money and have no way to pay for it. I think I am fucked. Great move moron. Should have just left well enough alone. Time to lay down and have a good cry.
