    i love heels, i find that you have to walk more heel to toe in them, instead of walking like a guy.

    Fact. They also straighten out my walk instead of having my feet bow out.

    I guess I don't have to worry much since I already walk that way. I even sat "like a girl" back in high school. It's nice how I can remember stuff and not feel bothered by the bullies in my memories anymore.

    I walk like that too. And I sit like a girl sometimes(it's uncomfortable after a few minutes), and no fucks given.

    I wish you luck gurl!!!! Here's to finally being the women we are on the outside.:beer:

    I am working on coming out to my family. I'm still going to make my appointment and at least get blockers for now, but my therapist doesn't come back until the beginning of March. I really want her input on my letter before I give it to my parents and siblings.....though I'm considering giving it out before then anyway...Hum, decisions. I must reflect on this.

    ---------- Post added 28th Jan 2017 at 02:40 PM ----------

    Scratch that, I'm not waiting. I emailed the appointment request form to the Women's Center!!!!!

    To me it makes about as much sense as butt pockets on blue jeans. They are uncomfortable and make you an easier target for pick pockets.

    My brother had a friend over, and when he introduced us to each other he said "this is my brother Vince". The guy just fist pumped me and said "yo dawg". It was a really great feeling. I have never been so happy and it is wonderful when family knows. I am still nervous about coming out to my parents though. I remember almost coming out to my mother when I was 15... the look on her face is what worried me then..

    I've always been able to touch my elbows behind my back. I just tried and I can't do it anymore. Maybe because my shoulders have gotten bigger?

    I don't know bro.. maybe? I have some pretty broad shoulders though and I can do it. Most likely it always varies?

    Idk I could do it forever until recently. And it was easy before, now impossible. I suppose I could also just be really tight from working out all the time.

    That could do it. Do you do warm ups and cool downs along with working out? Those should help loosen and relax muscles
