Same!! I enjoy the empowerment that comes from being trans, but I can't be open about it. Everyone still refers to me as my birth pronouns because they don't really understand. My family is very conservative, so they wouldn't get it. My husband's family is a bit more liberal, but they refuse to really...correct any of their behaviors. My sibling-in-law is genderfluid and they (the family) still refers to them by the wrong pronouns and even deadnames them. I told my husband that I was questioning my gender a while back, and he still refers to me as "wife" when talking about me to others. It's a mess lol. -

Some of us fight it far longer than that. But realizing who we are is a tremendous relief. -

Aside from living authentically, I’ve overcome a lot of fear I’ve had broiling in my gut for a long time. Coming out as a professional in a highly conservative area, was absolutely terrifying. But I’ve managed to survive! Being trans is a gift in many ways. Hoping you’re filled with trans joy! *hugs* Rosie -

Thank you for sharing that Vicky. Hugs, Charlize -

As a person in recovery in AA i have found that Christianity has never been forced down my throat. It was suggested that i find a higher power. I'm still in looking 15 years later but that search never took me to Christianity. It has helped me accept\, know and love myself and others. Some may well take the path of Christianity but there is certainly no requirement to do so. "The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking" Hugs, Charlize -

There's an urban myth connected with this that Adams' last words were "Jefferson still survives. The republic is safe." His actual last words were "At least Jefferson still lives." He was mistaken as Jefferson died five hours earlier. -

The 50 star U.S. flag was designed by a man in Lancaster, Ohio Americans eat 150 million hotdogs on The 4th of July. There is something written on the back of the Declaration of Independence (it was written on parchment that had been written on earlier during the Revolutionary War. Both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the 50th anniversity of the the Declaration. -

I know this is an old post, but it really resonated with me. I'm 29 and didn't realize I was trans until a week ago. The dysphoria has always been there (bottom dysphoria, in particular). I also hate my chest...but I don't know if that's more related to trauma than dysphoria. Possibly both? This is all still very new to me. And I guess that's where my barriers lie. Self-doubt. I'm never sure of myself. But what makes me sure of this is the fact that I feel empowered by the realization. I feel like a new man...because that's precisely what I am. Once I can start presenting as such without judgement, then I'll be much better off. -

@Elizabeth StarI had to go in person (which I preferred anyway) since that e-file system is so convoluted. Being in a small county helped that process. I'm sorry you're having to go through all this stress. I also know that you are a woman of strength, and you will get through this. Hugs -

Good morning, everyone. I didn't sleep too hot last night (nightmares galore!). And my husband has me worried because he's panicking over the Supreme Court ruling and is having conversations with his parents that don't involve me at all...even though I'm the subject of the conversation. It's making me a little uneasy. I know he's worried and doesn't want me to worry, but he doesn't realize that by not including me in the conversation, it's making me worry. I tried telling him that and he just changed the subject. I'm so sorry you're going through that, Elizabeth. As someone with CPTSD, I can certainly relate to having automatic trauma responses. You are doing the right thing by seeking treatment. I wish you the best of luck! ❤️ -

Good morning everyone. @Hannah Renee Congratulations on the name change. The process in our state is a little weird but at least changing your gender marker is easy peasy. @MmindyI'm sorry to hear about your mishap and thankful you're, more or less, OK. I know I've been pretty quiet here for a while. I've had a LOT of traumas surfacing. Thankfully, my GT actually specializes in trauma and since I'm in a holding pattern with my transition right now we decided to switch gears. I've come to find out that I'm full of automatic trauma responses. Just the simple action of my supervisor calling me into his office fills me with anxiety and triggers a fight or flight response. Just normal, everyday things are setting me off and I can't keep going like this anymore. It's going to be a long and emotionally painful process but it needs to be done. I can't keep running from my problems. -
