Hello everyone! Its amazing to come across this site as I always think I am by myself and many people seems don't understand me at all. I am so glad to come here and I know I am not alone....

I started feeling I am not the same as other people since I was a little kid, why I didn't like to play with boys, like to play with girls, chose many things and preferences suppose to be for girl without a heart beat......but there was no choice at that time but to live and grown up as a male. However, a girl is a girl and there is no way to supress it permanently. This girl eventually found her way and woke up after thirty something years in a full blown.

I started transition a few months ago and my life feels much more calmer, comforting with my increasing femininity. I would let my transition go slowly, hopefully to start hrt this coming spring. Seeing my psychologist seems very good as he helps me to think a lot in many perspective and if I am doing the right thing in the right direction.

Fortunately, my girl friend is quite comfortable to see my changes this last few months. Although she knows I am seeing a pschologist but I have not told her the big thing yet. Her acceptance of my gradual changes makes me lot more confident to tell her very soon. She actually shopped with me for my first girl's boot the other day! Small step seems like a big one for me now...and love you all ;) !

Hello, Erikka!

Welcome to the Playground, Honey!

How about some nice hot coco and some of Sally's cookies to take the edge off?

Just sit over her and get comfy!

It's a hard existence for many of us and by being here together we can help hold each other up and give love and support!

And we always say that the best way to transition is "Baby steps"...For the most part, that makes it all go smoother!

So, get comfortable and read all that you can here...you'll meet lots of incredible people and make lots of friends!

It's so nice to have you!

HUGGS!

Hello Erikka,

I am glad you have joined us here. We are alway happy to welcome a new sister into this wonderful community.

Tell us your story. We will be happy to help you on your journey.

I am also looking foreword to starting HRT in the Spring. I am now working on growing my hair long and on feminizing my voice. I have started sharing my real self with family and friends. It is a very hard thing to do. Being honest with your Girlfriend is very important. You will be suprised at how well many people will take your news but, it is also very normal for people who love you to have negative responses. It is because they need time for this kind of news to sink in.

You seem to already have a good handle on what is here so continue to enjoy.

Peace & Love Amanda Joan

Hi Erikka,

It is a wonderful feeling to know that you are not alone and then to find out that "those people" are really nice is even better.

This is a wondrous journey so do't rush, take your time and enjoy all of the changes as you watch the facade that you had spent so long building crumble away and like a butterfly from its chrysalis emerge as the beautiful woman that you are.

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
