Hi,

Im new to this whole forum posting thing and to the site itself..I've been wanting to join for a while now and I finally have Internet so all is well:) I've pretty much known my whole life that I've never really fit into the role of being a girl.. And up until about a year ago I wasn't sure that I fit in with guys either. Now I'm just trying to battle out who I am..I think I have it figured out but I have a lot of questions and hesitations regarding what I should do..I have a limited source of support, (I have friends that will always stay by me but they don't really understand or want to hear about it) and I've tried explaining that I'd rather use gender neutral pronouns for now but I'm pretty sure that went in one ear and out the other..

Im also scared to tell people that I'm confused about my gender becuase Ive been known for so long as me..and changing wouldn't be that easy..also my parents have only recently started to accept me as being a lesbian after I came out five years ago..so to come out again, well that doesn't sound fun..

Maybe I'm being irrational..regardless I'm glad there's finally a forum and site that can help me answer some questions.

I know I'm only 19 and I have my life ahead of me but I feel like I have to try and figure out who I am before I can do major things with my life...

Hello, Fredsmydog1....

Whoa...whoa...whoa...just a minute...we can't call you that...

What would you like us to call you?

Now....Welcome to the Playground, Hon....

Let me get you some pizza and a cold drink...ok?

Good...then you can sit over here and the others will stop by and say "Hi'....

This is a safe site...it's moderated for that reason and we don't judge people...you can just be you!

So, kick off your shoes and get comfy....OK?

It's so nice to have you!

HUGGS!

Hey

I completely understand what you mean about not being a girl and about coming out as Transgendered after coming out as a lesbian - i too thought 'lesbian' though in my case it was for fifteen years and i have yet talk to anyone about the fact that lesbian isn't the whole or real story!

Anyway Hi and welcome to Laura's - its lovely to meet you :) :)

Hello, Fredsmydog1,

Welcome to Laura's Playground. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Do you have a nickname we could call you? It's kind of awkward saying "Hey You". :lol:<_<

Welcome to Laura's A! I know the feeling of gender confusion and didn't come out as transgender until I had been "gay" for a year and a half. Sometimes it can be a little hard to tell the difference.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Congratulations on your new family member!

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm not sure the time frame.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
