Um... Jack? I was in a command that had 3 FtM's in it. Also 2 MtF's, 1 Gay man and 20+ 'Lesbians or Bi-Sexuals'. I put the 'quote marks' around Lesbian and Bi-sexual because we all knew that the only reason that they stood up was because their supervisor was the first trans person outted and taken to captians mast. His entire workforce stood up for him...and they all got booted. (actually, if you in the sandbox or going...not a bad idea to do) That was in 1994. Biggest witch hunt I that I ever saw. About 30 people total kicked out. Hopefully sooner than later they'll change the policy.

So, you are not the first or alone. (((HUGS)))

Hey Jack, Welcome Aboard :D You will find this the Best and most secure forum on the Net. Laura and the Mods work their butts off to keep it that way and we all appreciate it.

Anyway, so are you out of the service now, or tied up in the Reserve? There's some "old Salty Vets" here that you can trust and ask questions. They will be able to help you to the best of their ability and if they can't help you they will steer you in the right direction.

Sadly, the VA ain't all that organized on the subject of FtM oe MtF; even though some of the shinks and drs are willing to learn. It just takes time, plus you have to remember that some very powerful people control the VA and the money train [ I'm sure that an MP can figure that out].

Our grandson did 2 tours in Iraq and now is in Afghanistan; he's a Capt in MI.

Hi, Bulldog! Love ya!

Jack.......

The vets get very little...we have to cover our own..

Some VA's do a lot and some do squat!

Some of us can get Therapists through them and some even can get hormones...

You've got to check around...It's in our court!

Jack welcome home brother. I was over there in Iraq 03 - 04. Yeah I think we have all at one time thought that we we alone in being trans in the military but we weren't. In fact the group TAVA (Transgendered American Veterans Association - the largest trans veterans group and lobbying group in the country) estimates that the number of trans veterans are at (conservatively) 300,000+. So there are alot of us out there. If you want you can check their website out at tavausa.org. Again welcome home and glad you found your way here to our little slice of heaven on the net.

      As one who had to deal with the Porn/Adult Entertainment business as commercial, taxpaying businesses on a professional level, I can say that they are in it for money and the highest percentage of their income comes from ultra conservative areas where adequate Medical and Mental Health Profession and University Science instruction on Trans issues are banned.    It makes me wonder how much porn literature is hidden behind the 13 Bibles and Bible Study guides on some people's family bookshelves.

      Do you ever feel trapped in a body that doesn't feel like yours?

      There's the old thing of getting out and getting involved in things in the community and meeting people that way. Does your church have a food pantry? Does it have service opportunities you could plug into otherwise? You might run into someone that way. 
    • Ashley0616
      Well that didn't go well. She said she is intentionally single. When will I just stop thinking about putting myself out there. It really hurt but rejection and getting ghosted is just my second language apparently. The one person I have told all my dark secrets and didn't run off. At least we are friends. I'm happy only when I'm sleeping and that is it because things actually go my way from time to time. Just another wonderful day of me. SMDH!
    • Abigail Genevieve
      In their minds, yes, unless it is clearly, consistently, forcefully articulated by those who represent trans people that we are not.  I'm not sure who that would be.

      So, this proves that we're all  pedophiles? I suspect that the majority of pedophiles are probably cis.   Yeah, Alexander the Great was probably queer.  What does this have to do with me needing to pee?   I am so tired of this ___.  I raised 8 kids and never molested any of them - unless you count changing diapers without closing my eyes.  Yeah… so tired.   It makes me wonder what is actually on these people's minds.

      Whew! I don't think I want to see that age unless I can still function normally although my family hasn't gotten to live that long. The oldest lived to see 80. 
    • Adrianna Danielle
      Seen my grandmothers and told them happy Mother's Day.Got them a card.One is 95 and other is 93 that still get around well.Good thing is they love and accept me as a granddaughter.Growing up,they knew something was not right with me.

      Well, I told my best and only friend that I liked her and asked if I ever came across her mind, I would make her not regret it. She didn't say no or yes yet. She believes that romance is dead to her, and I understand that due to her knowing her husband for over 20 years. I deleted my dating profile on Facebook and took a screen shot to show her. She is so right for me, and I hope I can be her best decision. I have left her be so she can think about it.

      Thanks!

      Thanx!  But I am sure there is more that I don't know than what I do! But now I know about using the "@" function to alert people that you mentioned them. And today I learned how to Quote someone so my comment as a bit more context. Still so much to learn.  No sure how long I should keep replying to multiple people all in the same thread where the topic is just "Hello" I understand there are one or two other subjects in this place (besides me ... saying "hello"). I have tried looking through the forums a tiny bit and just got lost!  lol  (Then again, getting lost is kinda my super-power!)

      This sort of misinformation about our community has been going on for years, this is why it is important for group leaders within our community to speak out on.
