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

Hi Erica,

Its great to meet you. Yes there are alot of fantasic people here. What would you like to know? If you have a chance, check out my post (I have a dilemma) This issue has really gotten blown out of control. You would think people would be happy over a wedding, but everyone can't wait until its over. It has really turned ugly!

Love Stacie

      Don't forget TJ Maxx for purses.  I have purchased several from there.  They offer a great variety with good prices.  You can even find high-end bags at affordable prices.   @Ladypcnj purses are one of my weaknesses as well.

      When I get stuck in androgynous mode for an extended period I have to admit that I salve the dysphoria at times through retail therapy.    And, I've been busy. I search for bargains a lot of eBay, put items on my watchlist, wait for an offer and then typically make a lower counter-offer. Most of the items I buy are new. The strategy has gotten me some amazing deals on brand name clothes.   I will also admi to being a Talbot's Girl and all these are Talbot's items. Their clothes just seem ti fit me well. New in my closet are:

      We have even had them here from time to time I am afraid.   The rights of Free Speech actually carry a weighty responsibility to take the consequences of making that speech and it is that responsibility where the persons making the FREE hateful statements break down.  They insist that the Right shields them from the consequences, but it makes them all the more liable for them in reality.

      When and if a post is removed here, there is always a PM to the poster to explain the action and offer them an opportunity to amend the post to align with T&C's (if possible).     Certainly!  There are always those who will flaunt the rules.

      Actually, Memorial Day is the day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.   Veteran's Day, November 11th, is the day where we honor all who served.   Here is something I found that distinguishes among Memorial, Veteran's and Armed Forces day.

      I think Norstrom and Marshalls would be the top leading stores for both fashion and their collections of purses.

      Welcome to TGP, Amy! You'll find many like-minded people here as well as tons of information. Don't worry about trying to describe yourself. Relax, ask questions, and join in where you feel comfortable.    I started out like you, crossdressing in private, even hiding it from my wife, before coming to the realization that it was much more. I'm still only out to my wife, therapist and priest.....and, of course, everyone here. We all understand how difficult it can be to find oneself amid the emotions and challenges.    We are each unique yet share many commonalities.    We're glad you found us!

      I was doing my best to get past the fear and shame i felt whenever i went out in public so when i went to therapy and later to my doctor i presented as the woman i felt myself to be.  There was a policy that one had to live as their chosen gender for a year prior to starting HRT.  In some ways that seemed almost right to me as one of the hardest things we do is the entry into society as ourselves.     Of course the way you dress is up to you but be assured that your doctor is there to support not denigrate your decision.   Hugs,   Charlize

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆
