PS Good joke about the bread! But it really isn't any good for you any more. It might have been once (debatable) , but that would have been before the 1960s. I can honestly say that I feel much, much healthier now that I avoid wheat.
Yeah, I'm fulltime for 8-9 months now. Have an SRS date this summer. I'm getting on well. My family and friends have been supportive for the most part.
Actually, I don't post here all that much anymore. I do have a fiance ;p.
PS. I'm glad you took the bread thing as a joke! lol

B,
I agree. In particular the American Heart Association is responsible for much of the obesity and diabetes in the US. The low fat, high carb diet keeps your insulin and blood sugar spiking. I still will eat some bread (but very, very little compared to the way I used to eat), however my wife and I both keep our daily carb intake to 40 grams or less. It really, really works.

I'm staying. It really means a lot that you're posting again.

Good news is that I am living proof that continuous consumption does not actually fry your brain and give you an all-consuming desire to go the whole hog.
So am I.

PM overdose? That sounds like something I could be at risk for considering how high in dosages I've taken in the past.

Converted? You mean transitioning? Not for me. My gender identity is still on the andrygnony zone.
On a different note, what are your thoughts on the new layout of the bio-male section?

Sorry for the ambiguity, "you're all converted now?" was directed at Sarah
I know you're like me. ;-) Androgyny rules XY
I like the new section. It's only missing an Autogynephile section

a) I would never consider you a hijacker
b) Anything I write about is free to fork off
c) I would be the last person to criticise! Wow what a hypocrite I'd be!
So you are getting married to a girl? Did she know you from before? Tell me to MYOB at any time, but I was born with a curious brain due to insufficient androgen exposure!
