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!

      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🌷

      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🌷

      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.

      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.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
