Nervously Saying Hello


Guest Erin Quinn

Recommended Posts

Guest Erin Quinn

In all honesty, other than "Hello!" and wishing everyone well, I'm very unsure what to write at an introduction. But from what I've seen, everyone here is so nice and kind, so there goes nothing.

I'm Erin, I'm 27yo and recently came out to my significant other that I had always imagined myself feeling fuller, more viabrent and accepting of myself, were I to be a woman. And by recently, I mean, four days ago. so I guess i'm a bit nervous because I'm so early in this whole discovery and change in my life, it all seems like so much right now, I barely know what to focus on. Other than learning all I can (what an amazing site this is). As for the actual revelation, my S.O. took it very well, she was very thoughtful and accepting (we both have trans friends so it wasn't like she was totally foreign to the idea), it was very nice.

That's really it. I guess I could say more, like background and childhood and the like, but I don't want to ramble. Am looking forward to making friends on here, as overwhelmed as I've been feeling, just to have it out there is exciting.

Best wishes to everyone :)

Another texan! :o You know, (I'm not from there) there actually are a lot of Texans on the forum I've been noticing. You should keep an eye out. Maybe find some allies. I wanted to say "welcome " though. Good to have another brother.

Hi Erin,

Welcome to Lauras.

I'm glad your SO took the news so well, sometimes it can be a bit of a shock for them and not all handle it that well.

Hi, Erin, and welcome to Laura's.

You've met some of our wonderful members already, I see. Since its already lunch time where you

are, I have some pepperoni pizza and a big root beer here, and if Lizzy and Donna Jean don't beat

you to it, grab a slice or two.

You are absolutely right that this is a great place, not only to find the information you need, but to

make friends, have fun and explore how you feel about being you.

We don't judge, we like opinions, and welcome your views. After posting 5 times, you can send

private messages (PMs) to members to discuss stuff you don't want to post in the Forums.

You seem like you know which way to go. Good luck on your journey.

hi Erin

since no one has actually welcomed you as a sister, please let me be the first. You can consider me one of your older sisters, or if you want to be mean you can call me grandmother Allison. LOL I cannot imagine you being mean, so welcome aboard sis.

When you finish the pizza - top it off with a cookie or two - they have virtually no calories! :)

A fellow Texan, so Howdy as well.

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
