Hi, I'm Ren.

Umm....

Well, that's not my birth name, but it's a nickname that my friends call me quite often, and I like it. I'm from rainy old England (actually, the weather is being oddly varied at the mo-to the point that I need to take umbrella, hoody, sunhat and scarf to school...). I'm biologically female, although, I think I'm an androgyne. Think. It's taken me a while of thinking...

Umm, I don't have much else to say, I don't think, but you'll probably see me appearing on the forums going 'ahhhh!' at some point or another =] I'm likely to post again later about other stuff, but I should really be off to sleep now. It's half one in the morning for me *has no idea how timestamps on forums work* =]

Renn, welcome to Laura's! Have a seat in the New Member's Lounge and I'll fetch a plate of Sally's famous

cookies and some nice hot cocoa. There, that's better!!

Now that you're comfy, have a look around the forums and if you feel like exercising those fingers,

check out the chat rooms. They're fast and fun and usually full on the weekends.

I know you're going to love this site. We have thousands of members who are here to find answers just

like you, and are looking for friends and support. Our site is moderated, meaning folks like me keep the

site safe for everyone, safe meaning PG 13. So sometimes you might notice a small delay in seeing

your post up.

Make yourself at home, and when you feel like it, tell us more about yourself. Glad to have you!

Hi Ren,

When you read this I'll be asleep - I hope!

The time stamp on your end is in your time zone and on our end it is in ours so to me it looked like you were posting at 7:30 in the evening.

So we will wave as we pass each other and leave notes, OK?

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

Renn,

Welcome to the family. I have been here for about a month and I have made many friends and I am sure you will too. I am in the same boat with you except I am the wrong sex and I have no sex drive. We can travel alone together and when you get a chance can you send me some Clipper teas.

Sally should have probably offered you tea instead of coco but, She is very impulsive that one is.

Peace & Love Amanda

PS. the more you past the more you can do here. So talk to us ask questions and vent..

Hi Renn

I'm from that cold, wet part of the world just North of you called Scotland.

I haven't been on here that long, but the folks who have responded to my posts have been great. There's always someone with a friendly ear, some good advice and a word or two of encouragement.

If you have anything you want to say, or ask, just do it. Someone's bound to help. :)

Heheh, thanks =] It's funny thinking of time zones-for me, it's bright and sunny just after midday-ness, and the thought that it could be dark out is kinda cool/weird at the same time =]

Oooh, cookies, they sound good...

Thanks for your comments, everyone =] I feel really welcome here, which is a great feeling =]

*is off to brew a cup of tea now* (oddly enough, it is Clipper's O_O) =]

Hey Ren,

Is that Clipper's Tea good?

With 37 different varieties on hand I just looked and I don't have any Clipper's! :o

You should explore the forums a bit - there is even a topic about who likes tea. :D

We talk about just about anything.

Love ya,

Sally

Yeah, it's my favourite type XD That said, I do like some of the more obscure Twinning's flavours more from time to time =]

Heh, our cupboard is always so full of boxes of tea that whenever I open it to find the marmite/biscuits, I automatically lift my arm to catch the 'spiced apple and cammomile' that always falls out XD You're missing out on the Clipper's! =]

Wow, I'll definitely search out that tea-liking topic!

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .
