Random thoughts

kengrI've had a few random thoughts on things lately and seeing those trans girls at the WNBR last night led to some others.
First thoughts (of the new batych) were that I'd have to try to make sure I hadd the time and resources when next years ride comes along to "present" as trans/genderqueer at the ride.
The easy part of that will be my forms and onne of my sports bras. The hard part ids the "de-hairing" process. That requires some money (for Nair or tyhe like) and some help with the places I can't get at easily.
That reminded me of one of my big regrets. I didn't figure out just how trans/GQ I was back when I still had money left from my inheritance. If I had, I'd have at least *tried* laser or electrolysis.
I'm in a bit of an odd position regarding transition.
I seriously doubt that even if I was younger and in better shape medically speaking that I'd go for SRS. *That* aspect of thiongs isn't a big thing for me (unlike many trans folks). What I've got works (more or less). Gedtting SRS might result in somethingthat didn't work or at least not as well.
To use a term that I know is triggery for at least one friend, I'd be ok if I could just "pass" when I wanted to.
But that *does require doing somethiung abou the body hair. And about my beard.
*sigh*'
The reason I wear a beard is simple. Partluy because it's less effort. And partly because if I shave more than a couple days in a row, my face winds up like hamburger.
And as noted, there's body hair (mostly on my back and shoulders) that I can't do anything about withourt help anyway.
So I gues at some point I need to check into the possibility of doing sessions that are scattered a lot more than is normal. Like a time or two a year maybe. :-(
*sigh* yety another thing that'd be easier if I won the lottery.
Things *may* be a bit better when I'm old enough for social security.But that's at least six years away, and I'm not certain that it actually *will* give me more money. The wording on some of the stuff I've seen is a bit ambiguous.
At least one thing ought to be possible. I'm eventually going to write some instructions for when I die. Basically, I want to be buried as Brooke, even if I can't use the name. I know which dress I want, and the wig and forms will do well enough for apearances. At worst the mortician will have to shave me and apply slightly different makeup.
