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

      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.

      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      Welcome what kind of gaming do you like?

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.

      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.

      Hmmm .  .  . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.

      This one is behind a pretty heavy pay-wall, for me $50 US/per year.
