Good morning, Pale Strawberry!

Welcome to the forum, Honey!

Let me get you some hot coco and cookies to help you get all settled in.....OK?

Now, I'm not going to lecture you on unsupervised hormones (self medicating) because you are doing it with a doctor now.. That's great and the only way to do it.

I just want to mention it for the sake of the other members that read your post, that doing this is very dangerous!

Please only do it with a doctor's supervision!

It sounds as if you are moving along quite nicely and you look amazing! Your pic shows me a young woman with unruly hair....LOL

But, it sounds as if you are getting your ducks in a row...you didn't mention your location...USA? UK?

It makes a difference for the kind of health care that you receive...

I'm quite glad that you have joined us, Sweetheart...may we call you "Pale"? or do you have something that you would like us to use?

It's so nice to have you, Honey....

BIGG HUGGS!

Howdy howdy!

I'd say your mom is handling it very well, she's probably just got a million things running through her head, trying to sort out the why's and what-if's. It's only natural.

LOVE the t-shirt!

*Hugs*

Hello!

Thank you for the replies :)

Btw, I am sorry if I made any duplicate posts, originally I tried to post it in the mtf forums but it didn't show, I tried twice and then tried here.

I am from Israel, and I know it is dangerous to self medicate, the reasons I did it are complicated but the best thing is that I am under medical care now (a gynecologist)

You can call me pale :) I am actually paler than most of my family! :o

Though maybe not pale enough ^^

Every time I show pictures, people say it's "a girl", but in real life people seem to sometimes say girl sometimes boy when they see me (like, if I am approaching a shop seller, not saying anything to suggest them any gender but letting them speak first).

Kinda annoying!

Personally I see a boy too, but it could be my perception is messed from seeing myself for years.

Yes! my hair is unruly! :o I never seem to get it right, I am afraid to go to a hairstylist after mom cut it so sort (!!! like, grass) for years.

Last year I went to a hairstylist at march and he removed so many inches! I was scared to go to anyone ever again.

People told me he was supposed to do that.. but it felt like a lot was lost and took it a lot of time to regrow.. scary!!!

I am not even sure what to tell a stylist to do O_o people told me to have it layered and trimmed and that's it maybe..

I am afraid he will do me something which is more for a boy with long hair than a girl, if there is such difference at all.. *anxious person!!!!!*

So I am lost about what to do with.. anything.. and I am not sure when I will get surgery and I want to start living already.....................

And the shirt!!!!! is from my boyfriend, who studies in Huddersfield University, UK.

Btw, every time I try and post the forums says I am not logged, I need to copy everything, relog and post again.. what can I do to fix that?

OK, Pale it is!

Don't worry about the duplicate posts, Sweetheart...I took care of that!

And, good for you on the doctor supervision!

I don't know what is wrong with you having to log on again...I'll check on that for you......OK?

What browser do you use IE6?...Firefox? Opra?

Sounds like you have cookies disabled. Tsk Tsk, of all the sites to be disabling cookies on! We LOVE cookies!!!!

Seriously though, check your browser preferences and check to see if cookies are allowed. If not you can still not allow them, but add www.lauras-playground.com to the exceptions list, that should fix you right up. Or you could just allow cookies, they generally don't cause any problems, especially if you're on your own pc and not a shared one.

Well, you probably checked at the same time, but as an afterthought, perhaps they're set to expire after a short period of time?

Welcome Pale. We're very happy to have you join our family. I think you look lovely and I feel your parents, especially your mother, are handling your condition and plans well. Good luck with your transition, Hon.

On the login page, do you have the "remember me" box checkmarked? In theory, this shouldn't be necessary, but I've done a quick search and it's worked for others having the same issue on other forums.

Hi Pale

Welcome to the playground everyone is so nice here as you can tell already. For your parents to have that kind of reaction is a good sign also because alot of parents just dont want to accept it and end up disowning their kids over it, and I think that your mom is helping you with clothes and helping with costs is her way of coping with things.

Welcome :)

Your hair isn't bad. If you want to do something different get your hair cut with bangs. Or go to a salon and spend time going through their photobooks.

Welcome aboard Pale, now you have told them it becomes a waiting game. It will take them time to process what they have been told and to deal with it their own way. Feel free to ask your questions, we will do our best to answer them and with 6000+ members on this site I am sure that someone can help with nearly anything.

Well Pale Strawberry,

By the looks of your image you have made the right choice and

know who you are.And had the smarts to go about this the right

way and get a physican to monitor your transition.That your mother

is willing to help in anyway she can is huge dear girl.She is still

adjusting to having a daughter instead of a son.So be patient.

And honey,I do not see you as needing and FFS of any kind.

HRT is magic,will do more for you than you can imagine with

a steady regimen.Welcome to the Playground you pretty young thing.

Hugs Young Lady,

Angie

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      What about it?
    • SydneyAngel
      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      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
