| I think a lot of girls don't get full transition surgery. You have to be lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get it. I think the UK NHS provided it for some but now the chance of getting it is small as the wait list is long. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/treat... |

| It may help to talk to a therapist with expertise in gender issues. A full transition is a long involved process often taking many years. Voice surgery only helps a little. You also need to train your voice. Female mannerisms also take some time to learn. If you are fortunate enough to be a white ma... |

No, he is campaigning as a ploy to avoid his court trials.
If he loses running again won't help his legal issues.
If he loses he is done. |

I still have a lot of flexibility. Waistline is 24-1/2 inches, not much different than when I was twenty pounds lighter.
So yes, I still feel young for my age. |

There are counterfeit olive oils out there but I got it from Stew Leonards, an upscale grocery store for CT/NY. Their house brands are pretty good.

A lot of transgenders are in the middle of transition from one gender to another with the assist of hormones.
Everything is all messed up!
Much lower expectations regarding social norms makes it easier to them to socialize among themselves. |

I was the club representative for the Student Activities Council.
It disbursed a lot of money among the recognized student clubs as well as the band.
It was very useful to see how it functioned. |

| Stores often cater to certain sizes. It is a lot easier to find women's clothes in smaller sizes and harder to find them in larger sizes. If your feet are small it can be a lot easier to find women's size 7 instead of men's size 5, which are often exactly the same size. Payless was a store that used... |

Presto 05470 Stainless Steel Electric Deep Fryer, Silver
A little 1 liter deep fryer is perfect for cooking a single serving for one.
I also deep fry single servings of bread dough.
Much more practical to deep fry bread dough than to heat a big oven to make a loaf of bread. |
