Hi! :d (how Original... T_t)

Well, I've done it. I've joined a forum. For transfolk (sic! :D). Mainly because there's a dearth of transsexuals/transwomen in my life. Actually, you could probably just end that as there being no people in my life. xD

I'm 19 years old, from a small town west of Syracuse, NY, and currently am unemployed and not in school. Six months ago, I started HRT on my 19th birthday in February and have been living as a teenage girl since April. I've noticed myself looking at guys differently for the past two years, and the Premarin might be

The area I grew up in doesn't approve of anyone outside of the gender binary, or the single "moral" sexual orientation in their eyes, so I've had to bear a lot of suffering because of it. You could write a book with the events that have happened in my life, and it would be as much a horror as a sob story. xD

I live with my parents and for the past year have been in their house. Before then, I had no friends anyhow... sooo I've always been cooped up in this house. A rumor was started in fifth grade that I was gay (this was while I was a young boy, with no idea what that was) and a shatstorm followed until I was unable to continue, emotionally, in highschool. So, I headed out to Maine and got my diploma in six months in a program they offer in Camden.

Some of my hobbies are gaming on my Xbox 360 I bought myself, reading, cooking, psychology, doodling, and the recent one--boys. >:3

I'd like to post a picture of myself, but I'm wary of it coming back to bite me in the arse. Hopefully I remember to come to this site more often. >_>

Hello Fanta,

Well you have already met quite a few of the freindly folks here and more will some by as the day wears on, we are a global community so there is activity at some very strange hours for you but not if you're in Australia or England.

Sit back and enjoy that warm glow it isn't just the monitor screen it is the hearts and caring of all of the wonderful people here in the playground.

Love ya,

Thank you for the especially-warm welcome, everyone. ^_^

And wow, I didn't expect so many people to be here! I joined TS Information Exchange (the one moderated by Calpernia Adams) and it seems awfully desolate there. The resources here have been a huge help to me already. There's a Voice Therapist in the area according to this site's listings that I hope to visit. :3

It seems much safer here than I first thought (very moderated, which I like!) so I guess I do feel more comfortable with posting pictures. :P

Four Months HRT - I tried makeup for the first time, soooo I understand that it turned out kinda bad. xD

Six Months HRT - This was from last week, without makeup. I'm self-concious about my drooping eyes that I inherrited from my father (and they'll need to be surgically corrected).

* As a side note, I cannot smile. :( It may have been to physical trauma from bullies in school, a no-longer-adopted sister who did some terrible things to me, or this aracnoid cyst found on my brain last month. Either way, I can't move the left side of my mouth. If there's a way to fix that through regenerative therapy or surgery, I am unaware of it.

So, just lettin' you all know. I'm rather spunky and happy in life, but my face doesn't show it. I think it's a shame. =/

Fanta,

You are gorgeous!

Don't worry that your face doesn't show joy in the usual ways, the true joy from your heart shines through.

I am so glad that you feel more comfortable here, I haven't been to very many other sites, my therapist sent me here because she felt that it was a good fit for me - that woman is a genious!

Love ya,

Sally

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
