Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members. Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024. Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum. Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors
Susan R replied to SS's topic in Androgyne and Multigender Forums
Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it. -

Desert Fox started following Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors and Transfeminine singing voice

I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge. I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that. I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing. I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors
Desert Fox replied to SS's topic in Androgyne and Multigender Forums
I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though. -
https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities. May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars. Carolyn Marie

I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.

Trump Vows to Roll Back Title IX Protections for Trans Youth "On Day One"
Davie replied to Carolyn Marie's topic in Politics
Trump is accused of 26 separate sexual abuse crimes. What a guy. -

Right handed, but my left eye is dominant. However left eye has cataract, So I've learned to hold my cup left-handed so I can see while drinking.

Sending prayers for your sister. I am sure the insurance thing will work out.

Trump Vows to Roll Back Title IX Protections for Trans Youth "On Day One"
Ladypcnj replied to Carolyn Marie's topic in Politics
Biden is our only hope, it will take a miracle if Trump loses again. -
Hope your sister does okay
-
I will keep your sister in my prayers, @Davie. The insurance thing, that will work out in time. Bureaucracy is annoying, but adds fuel to the fire when you're already upset about another matter. Yes, "wait and pray". Bless you both.

Not so good today. My sister is in the ER with a stroke. Also, my insurance is screwed up somehow, so I'm being Charged $300 for a simple checkup. I've had to cancel it until it's worked out. But mainly I wait to hear about my dear and supportive sister in the ER. And wait and pray. And pray.

Left-handed. Although I deal cards with my right hand. And I am fully comfortable using a mouse with my right hand. If I used my left hand for dealing or using a mouse, it would feel awkward.
