Living in a man's world

Over the past few weeks I've noticed the female features of my face almost just melting away. I know that sounds strange, but I don't know how else to describe it. I also noticed this morning that the area around my chin/under my lip/under my chin is beginning to sprout hairs. Pretty cool. My mustache is also continuing to get darker and more pronounced.

Yesterday at work I ran into a supervisor I hadn't seen in awhile. He said hi and, in true man fashion, pounded me in the chest. Luckily for me he hit the dead center and it was a complete non-incident. However, it reinforces my feeling of passing 100%.

My grandfather is throwing a party/open house Saturday so I will be venturing home on Friday after my appointment in Boston. Which means I get to visit my favorite men's room in South Station.

Speaking of bathrooms, I don't think I've mentioned my love for peeing standing up. I use the Mango product. A lot of guys have issues with it because it takes a really long time for it to be mailed/arrive, the tube slips out a lot, and for the price neither of these things should be an issue. I too have issues with the tube slipping out but I've gotten used to putting it back in with a pencil. I also am unable to pee directly through the fly and have to unzip my pants, but let me tell you - it's worth it. I love peening standing up so much that I think sitting down is a waste of time. Granted I don't actually pee standing up often, usually only when I'm out and sometimes (like this past week) I'm too lazy to put the tube in and just pack without it. I find the harness that can also be bought from the same site works well, although for cheaper someone could totally make their own.

At some point I need to invest in new binders. I've been wearing the same ones for over a year now. I have 2 that fit me really well (which is funny because when I got them they were too small so I had to cut out a layer) and 3 that are now a little too big. I only wear those when I'm in for the night or just bumming around the house. Most of my clothes are too big as well so the binders will have to come after new pants.

I realized awhile ago that I never did a post about what I do on a daily basis to be me. So, there you have it! Binding, packing, and a smile on my face =)
