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.

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.

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?
