Hi - Carolyn Marie

Thank you for your welcome and helping me to feel at home. I have come out to most of my family and to a few friends. Mixed emotions. I am in the process of finding a job. I just graduated from bartending school. I have even beed up front at interviews and told them that I was trans and looking to transition soon. Again, mixed reply's. I guess I have made some big steps or "baby steps" LOL. Thanks again for being so kind.

Thank you for your kind welcome. Sorry I have not written back sooner. Been busy trying to find a job in this recession. I have been finding it harder because I have been up front and honest with them in reguards to being trans and wanting to transition. I have had mixed replies and mixed emotions. Same with telling family and friends.

Thanks Again Stacie

For those who wanted to more about me. I am a 46 year old M2F. I am in the begining phase of transition. Due to the recession, I have been out of work for a while. This really bumed me out because I had to put things on hold. As soon as I keep back on my feet, I want to get the eletrcosis going along with HRT. I want to look into legaly changing my name next year. I guess you can say, the door is open and I have one foot on each side. I have started writting a book about my family life and transitioning. It helps to put things in perspective. I get eager to get going, but have to remember to take it slow and easy. "Good things will come to thoose who are patient".

You've got a great attitude, Stacie. Patience, determination and knowing what you want and

how to get it.

An unbeatable combination. At the risk of using a grossly overused phrase,

YOU GO GIRL!

I have 2 questions for anyone who might read this. I might get a job as a bartender at a transgender freindy gay bar. I was honest at the interview and told the manager that I was trans and going to transition. He was really cool about it. My questions are, if by chance I do get the job, should I start in boy mode than start slowly dressing or should I start from the get go? I have gone back a few times to hang out there and have told people about me and some were cool and there was one who confronted me. I just laughed him off and walked away. Am I being to open, or should I just keep quite?

Hi Stacie

I think (smoke rolling from my ears) if your employer is cool with it ,it all depends on which way you feel most comfortable.

Both ways have there advantages and disadvantages and it sounds like you'll have a lot of support either way you decide.

Stacie,

I am new also. I have done a few of the poles/surveys and have found them very thought provoking. One of the tests I took scored me as a -15 Androgenous. I am not sure what the number means but, I was stunned to find out that I might be androgenous. It makes so much sense to me. I am a MTF with no sex drive. I think that womens clothes are my biggest turn on.

I wish you all the best and hope that your transition brings you great joy.

Peace & Love Amanda Joan

Thank you Amanda. I am eagerly awaiting the day when I can go full time. I just need to great all my ducks in a row first. I know the day will come, I just need to be patience. I have been hanging out at this local transgender friendly gay bar near my house. I have finally worked up the courage the next time I go, I am going all girl mode. Hair, makeup, heels and dress. I even bought a cute black dress today for friday. I am looking forward to going as it will be the first time out alone. I am excited and nervous!

Love Stacie

Hi Mia,

I have already taken that test. I scored classification 5, Transsexual. It seemed pretty apparent. As soon as I get a job and money starts coming in, I am going to speed up transitioning. I am sort of stagnet at the moment. Oh well! LOL

Hi Stacey,

I am fairly new to Laura's and am enjoying every minute of my time on these forums. It is a fantastic place to be and there are so many great guys and gals here. Everyone that has posted to me have been absolutely super and there is a great deal of knowledge and really good advice. I know that if it had not been my discovery of Laura’s Playground I might have I might have spent many more repressed days and nights searching for my self.

If you do get the job and it sounds like you have a pretty good shot at it my gut feeling is that you will do your best going the way you feel most comfortable. I wish you luck and would really like to get to know you better. This site is the best. God I love it here.

Love & Kisses

Erica

      Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this...   Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded.  This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey.  I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years.  I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper.  10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing.  Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets.   My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes.  The vice-presidency is an appointed position.  I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore.  I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president.   I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years.  Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians.  I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts.  Actually, I only really remember one person.  He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting.   I'm not bitter.  I'm not complaining.  Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy.  I hope that this post doesn't get buried.  I think the title is strong and my message is clear.  I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing.  I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president.  Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative.  My politics are executive level.  I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer.  I aim to educate and inspire.

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.
    • kristinabee
      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post. 
    • Charlize
      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.
