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.

      Monday Musical History Day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Six Word Stories

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      I've been looking forward to the legitimate medical groups coming out strongly against Cass' biased and one sided report, so I'm really glad to see the article you posted, @Davie.  Unfortunately, it won't get nearly the coverage that Cass has gotten.  She has done her dirty work.  Hopefully the pushback and investigative reports on her and her support network will result in her work being shown for what it is.  She is a fraud, and sooner or later all frauds are found out.   Carolyn Marie

      Finally Starting HRT

      By KayC · Posted

      CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica!!  That's really BIG! I myself did not experience a huge emotional roller coaster.  It was more like a smooth slide into emotional comfort.  The biggest effect I felt is when my Dr put me on T-blockers first.  I felt a bit 'empty' for a couple of months, but then realized it was just because the 'T-monster' was no longer running around inside of me.  Then I felt it was my new 'normal'. I feel like the estradiol was the 'frosting' on my transition affirmation.  It's been only positives.  I do cry a lot more, but it's only because I finally feel free to allow my emotions to come out.  To me it's not 'hormonal' ... it's FREEDOM!   Everybody is different but it sounds like you are under great care.  I hope you have a beautiful first year in transition on HRT (keep us updated if you can).
