G'Day All

My name is Chiana (well whilst in female mode) and I was born a male. For as long as I can remember I have always wished to be female and only recently started HRT about a week ago.

I hope one day to be able to go out in public as female but the thought of doing that the first time scares the crap out of me. I occasionally wear leggings out in public and I am amazed at how very few looks I get. Once I wore shiny tights with shorts while out with friends and to this day cant believe I did it with no comments from them or other people.

I am married (to the most wonderful person) but my wife only knows about my cross dressing. Maybe one day I will summon the courage to tell her about the hormone treatment but at this point in time she has enough on her plate to deal with.

Only a few very close friends, Mum and my wife know about my cross dressing and no one (other than my doctors and this forum) knows about my HRT.

I have always been attracted to females even when in femme mode. I guess if I was born a girl I would be considered a lesbian.

I'm not one who likes describing myself (especially to strangers) so I'll keep this short. Going by the few posts I have read so far you all seem like a great bunch of people and I hope that I will fit in and get to know you all.

I'll wrap it up now as its getting late and my brain is crying out for some sleep (plus the sooner I go to bed the sooner I can wake up and take another hormone tablet)

Cheers.

PS: I love pizza and chocolate chip cookies.

Well, Chiana....

Pizza and chocolate chip cookies it is! And something to wash it down...your choice!

Welcome to the Playground, Hon!

So good to have you here...

Your hormones are doctor prescribed? I hope so,..if you've been here a little bit you know how we are about that!

So, sit over here and kick off your shoes and wiggle your toes...just get comfy.....

I love Oz..... Been there before as has Sally! (She'll be here later)

And you might start considering what to tell your mate before the changes become obvious....

There is a lot of help here , so read all that you can...OK?

And everyone is very nice and helpful!

Nice to have you here, Honey....

HUGGS!

Another Aussie - soooo good! Jacci (StormBird) is always so good to have around... and there are so many others - even a Kiwi! and as you can see we are all over the world here.

SO WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

And we only know you as Chiana - and that is as it should be, and the world spins happily through space - all is well... Where did that come from??? hee hee

Well - you appear to be on a journey of self acceptance and discovery. I assume you have a gender trained therapist and your HRT is monitored, Illegals can be dangerous! Oh yes!

And we know you a bit now - and for introductions, start looking around and finding like minded people. After 5 postings you are open to the private messaging feature - which allows personal contact. If you contacted me I would say I am married, on HRT and live in New Orleans, Louisiana. Then we would talk about what a big ole world it is that we reached across - that huge space to touch minds!

Laura's Playground is a miracle!

Anyway

Welcome to a very loving and friendly place.

Welcome to Laura's, Chiana. That is a lovely name, BTW. Very unique.

You've met my good friends and had our welcome snacks, so I hope you're

feeling at home here. This is truly a family here, much more than just a

support site. We look after each other and we do care.

Speaking of caring, Donna Jean mentioned about telling your S.O. about your

being on HRT. I agree - I think it would be wise to consider that approach. But

you can read the experiences of others and see how you feel about it.

We love our Aussie's and Kiwi's here, so welcome aboard.

Thank you all for your warm welcome.

No shrimp for me thanks, Stormbird, my body doesn't agree with seafood (Gosh darned genetics) but that just means more for everyone else.

As far as something to wash it all down with I'll have a scotch, dry with no ice (Glen Fiddich if possible) Thanks, :)

Oh, I forgot to mention in my intro that I am a Simpsons fanatic. So i appologise now for all the Simpson references I make in the future.

Thank you all once again

Well I suppose we could all get together at Moe's and chat a bit.

Greetings to my new freind and sister down under.

We can just put that nasty booting incident behind us and be great friends (I've watched more than an episode or two myself).

I do think that you should talk to your wife about the hormones before too long, it is a shock when you tell someone but for them to discover that you have been on HRT without telling them is more like dropping an anvil on them.

So start thinking of how to tell her and do be gentle - this hit you hard when you first figured it outm it will be at least that hard for her.

So G'day and remember Dingos make lousy pets!

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Chiana,

I always seem to arrive late everywhere.

But I guess it is fashionable to be somewhat late.

Welcome to Lauras.

You'll like it here.

Thank you all again

Jean, I have never backed away from a challenge, so to anyone who think they can "out simpson" me remember that I watch an appalling amount of tv.

Sally, "Bart vs Australia" is actually one of my favourite episodes. I read an interview with the writers and it mentioned that because they knew they would get a few things wrong, they went out of their way to get EVERYTHING wrong. But thats the best part about us Aussies, we are the first to crack jokes about ourselves.

Thanks again

Chiana

PS: rest assured I will tell my wife, and I know that she will be understanding and supportive. However, this point in time is no good as her Father is terminally ill and not long for this world. She doesn't need this on her plate right now.

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By EasyE · Posted

      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...

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      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.

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      By Mmindy · Posted

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      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.

      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.

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either
