Hi all!

Before anything else, I think it's due to thank and congratulate all the site's staff for the wonderful work that is being done here. I had been googling for decent information resources and when I was close to giving up I stepped in here. After checking the place a bit, I was amazed: just following a few links I had found answers to questions that I had been struggling with for months. Yet it was not just a virtual heaven full of high-quality information sources; but there is an amazing community that flourishes around. And, as if that was not good enough, at the hearth of the site there is the purest goal any person could ever work for: saving lives.

I don't want to step into the religion topic, but I must say that the fact that this site exists, plus the fact that it has managed to be found by enough people to grow and mature (despite the huge ammounts of junk search engines toss around any relevant keyword), simply matches every definition of "miracle" I know about.

I could go on with praising this place forever; but I'd bet I couldn't say anything you don't already know. (Anyway, if you want me to go on with the praise, just ask. ;))

So I'll now focus into what this section is about and tell you a bit about myself:

I am a 23 years old MTF. I haven't undergone any physichal change yet. I started psychological therapy some months ago, although I think I'm making more progress on my own than through the therapy... anyway, progress is a good thing regardless of where it comes from, so I won't bother too much about this.

I have been always quite good with Maths and Sciences, and I've been into the computing field since I got my first computer when I was 13. I'm now trying to make a living off the skills in programming and web development I have honed over the years.

Among my hobbies I should highlight RPGs, Power Metal, tolkienish literature, and most kinds of mind-challenging games. I have also interest on ocultism (tarot, runes, and related stuff).

I'm probably forgetting something, but I always do, and this is getting quite long; so that's all, at least for now.

WELCOME!

The welcoming ladies should be by shortly. They always have delicious tidbits to offer to put the newbies at ease. I'll look into the parlor and see who is about.

In the meantime, settle in, post your views on today's topics, and feel at home. This is a great place to be.

Hi, Ethain, and welcome to Laura's! You've entered the new member's lounge, and although Sally is on a

road trip, she left me a supply of her world famous cookies and I have my own home made lemonade,

so relax and enjoy.

Obviously, I don't have to tell you about the site, you've seen that for yourself. The other thing

you may have noticed is the sense of community, friendship and love than runs through it

like a warm spring. And the "miracle" thing, I agree with that completely. This site has for me been

nothing short of life changing.

This is a moderated site, so all posts are reviewed before they are allowed to be seen. It's done

to protect the members and to ensure the continued existence of the site.

I'm sure you will find friends here. You've found a new home. Enjoy!

Carolyn Marie

Welcome to Lauras Ethain,

The playground is certainly a wonderful place mostly due to the people that it is composed of.

Many people, myself inculded would be lost without it.

I look forward to seeing you around.

      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes how calm, collected, and emotionally consistent someone is. It's the opposite of neuroticism, which is a personality trait that describes how much negative affect, emotional volatility, and mood fluctuation a person displays.

      Do you have a good therapist? If on HRT, do yuou have a good health care professional?

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      I'm lucky. I have both. For therapists, the Psychology Today is a good source, as is the resource section here at TP.  BOTH are soi vital.

      Hello (Introduction of sorts)

      By Susan R · Posted

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      hi there - introducing giz !!

      By Susan R · Posted

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Susan R · Posted

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      Transfeminine singing voice

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.
