Guest Puddle Jumper

Hello everyone. My name is Puddle Jumper, or Jumper for short. I can't figure out how to link to his introduction post, but I'm Cricket's girlfriend. I joined so I can ask some questions myself, and so I can see why he's liking this forum so much.

Basically, when I was younger, I thought I'd been born in the wrong body for quite a while. But being with Cricket (he's a FTM) helped me realize that I liked being a girl, and now I feel comfortable in my own skin.

(Also, I really suck at this changing pronouns thing, since I'm really used to calling Cricket a she and it's like "Woah wrong pronoun!" but I'm going to do my best when it comes to him.)

I'm a few months from my 21st, I live in Chicago, I work a lot and I like to write stories. I think that's about it? I'm not that much of a complicated person. (I'm also sleep deprived and getting sick, so my brain isn't working very well, so I apologize for the randomness and not-there-ness of this post.)

So, yeah. Hello everyone!

Que Pasa Jumper.

Before I do the welcome I just gotta ask, is that Severus Snape in a dress in your av? Please tell me it is :lol:

Ok, being the forum mod, welcome. I hope you do find out all you're seeking here and that itll help both of you work through all that's in your lives right now. I think I've read one (maybe two?) posts from Cricket before? Enough that I remember the name and know he's FtM ;) ( I try to at least note fellas when they come through) Stick around and a whole stream of peeps will be by to welcome you though. Feel free to ask things, you'll be able to message folks once you post juuuust a little bit more, and don't be afraid to start a topic if you need to. If you get stuck or need help most of the folks around here are very good about lending a hand. Look forward to seeing you around.

Thank you for the warm welcome! And yes, yes it is Snape. I think it's from the forth? fifth? movie with the thing in the closet that changed into your worst nightmare. Something like that.

Anywho, thanks for the wonderful comment! I'll be sticking around, and so will Cricket. ^__^

I'll try my best. I've been with him for... hell, two years in November, so it's a bit of a change for me. His would be the only one I might mess up on, but I always proof everything before I post it, so it might be only one slip every few months. I just wanted to warn everyone, just in case.

I promised him long before this, and even long after this, that we're going to be together forever and that's not going to change.

Actually, we're engaged. I just always forget to say that instead of girlfriend. xD

High Jumper,

I was so glad to see that you mentioned engaged because I thought Cricket was engaged and being trans is difficult enough wothout trying to juggle a fiancee and a girlfriend! :lol:

Seriously, we welcomed Cricket to the forums with a pizza and a cold drink but tonight I have fresh baked cookies and chocolate milk for you - I hope that's OK.

Welcome to the friendliest place on Earth wherte we are so happy to meet the supportive partners of our siters and brothers - you are on your way to becomeing a sister in law.

Love ya,

Sally

Just a thought!

Hey puddle jumper,

how awesome you're supporting Cricket! & if its your sleep deprivation that makes you write so cohesive and interesting I advise you to make sure you stay sleep deprived.

Feel better soon though & see you around.

      I completely understand the feeling. It’s much like watch a kettle come to boil. Looking back the changes were much like that boiling kettle…the less anticipation, the faster the results seem to have come or became noticeable to me. I do have to say that there was sort of an immediate placebo effect in just the fact that I knew I was finally making it real and that the process had begun. I was immediately at peace with my decision which up until that point I kept second guessing all the negative possibilities it might create. Almost 6 years in, I wouldn’t change my path in any way.   And a big congratulations for being able to make that leap toward authenticity. That is a huge milestone!   Best of luck on your journey, Susan R🌷

      I'm not sure that's quite true.  If it was done by private entities?  Like most landfills here are privately owned, as are power plants.  I can't see a reason they couldn't be combined.    Right now, garbage companies in my area harvest the methane produced by the landfill to run their trucks.  The put all sorts of pipes in among the layers of the landfill to collect it.  Compressed natural gas (CNG) can be used with only minor modifications to existing engines, and many truck stops are adding CNG pumps as some fleets transition to it.    A fuel's usefulness is often measured in BTU's per gallon.  CNG has approximately the same BTUs as diesel or gasoline (138,000 or so.)  Pure ethanol and E85 have much less - like 76,000 BTUs.

      Well, after a week on HRT, as many would probably have predicted, I've noticed exactly zero mental or physical changes. Patience appears to be the key here as hard as that will be after finally getting my transition moving. Guess I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Hope that my first blood tests after two months will show hormone levels moved acceptively.

      A therapist appt is a great place to dress femme, If you want to!   It also sounds like a great safe venue to speak softer and more feminine, if that’s where you want to go.     Not sure the rules now.  But if you’re seeking HRT you might have to show them something to convince the money system that your case is medically necessary.  Obvious feminine clothes and mannerisms displayed by a human assigned male at birth (perhaps this is you?)  could be check marks towards them pushing your case through.     Please be whatever brings you love for who you are.   I have pursued this all the way through obstacles, mistakes, humiliation, and pain. And I  am so so so grateful  Hugs 😊 🌈🌈

      Puzzled.  My United Healthcare Medical Advantage DOES cover gender affirming surgeries.  The HARD part is finding a surgeon that's in-network.  If the surgeon is out of network, the coverage is 40%/60% (they pay 60%).    Sadly, the surgeon I'd like to have, Dr Russell Sassani, in south Florida, is out-of-network and requires full payment prior to surgery.  I'm certain that there have been insurance issues for him and others, in the past.  Most GOOD surgeons for trans surgeries don't submit insurance, though they WILL help you with the codes, etc.  Actually, he does accept some regular insurance and original Medicare.     Anyway, I hope you were able to get your surgery or at least closer to being able to do so.

      Welcome Madelyn, glad you are here and best wishes on your journey!!   I started HRT about two months ago... Had my initial appointment in December... Other than a bra underneath my clothes, I likely didn't look feminine at all ... I was nervous as heck but the doc put me at ease...   Just be yourself... do what feels comfortable for you ... The pace is up to you... Remember, you are one of a kind and have inestimable worth...    EasyE

      I have been creating a space to be expressive. It's def not completed yet, I have loads of ideas still. Thinking about re-painting, maybe a light pastel purple or light pink, with a satin gloss. Honestly I'm hung on which would look best. Leave a comment if you think it would look better pink or purple. This area is a combination Man-Cave / She Shack. This is my sacred space, I think it's coming out well so far. I love this room, it inspires my creativity. Tho, I think there's not much man left in the cave lol.

      Then there is how FDR is revered, and the ridiculous reluctance of the left to ever say anything negative about Biden.  It destroys their credibility.  Obsessed with Trump, they ignore how much worse Biden is.

      The title of this thread is highly offensive.

      Oh…. Now I get what the transgender agenda is.  I missed it.   I just didn't realize he was running again.   Silly me.   I'm going to quit now.  I've already been an ass
