I just thought I'd take 5 minutes to introduce myself, I'm 28, From Scotland, I've just started the MTF route, My whole life nearly I've been meaning to do this but with one thing and another I've either blocked it out, or had to deal with something else thats came up, but eventually it catches up on you and you can't just ignore or block it any longer. I'm waiting on my appointment for the Sandyford clinic, I'm kinda nervous but also excited because this is my chance to let the real me out. My wonderful wife seems to be accepting and willing to give the whole thing a try, so I'm quite lucky that way. Sometimes I blether on lol, So Hiya everyone :)

Welcome to Laura's Dana!

I am a parent of a FtM who is mid-twenties. I'm sure you'll find that everyone is very supportive here & you can vent if you need to without worrying about anything. My background is British, but the family lore on my father's side is that his grandfather was from Scotland and the police were after him for stealing sheep, so he fled Scotland for England and changed his surname, LOL!

So happy to hear that your wife is supportive as that makes all the difference in the world; family harmony! Take care.

Welcome to Laura's, Dana! It's great to meet you.

I don't have to tell you how friendly folks are here...you've already gotten a good dose of that!

Have a look around the forums, check out the chat rooms, and post any questions or concerns

or opinions that you have. We are a moderated site, so folks like me make sure it's safe for

our teens and we keep nasty people out.

Good luck on your journey, and keep us postd as to how you are doing. We care.

HUGS

      I guess this was commonplace in females. But if your prostate gland is still in place this can contribute to urinal difficulties too.

      https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/15/peru-chooses-bigotry-medical-services     The Health Ministry tried to put the best face on this unscientific gibberish of a decree, but it won't diminish the harm it will do to the Pervian trans community.  They undoubtedly already suffer from severe discrimination and bigotry in a very macho-opriented society.   Carolyn Marie

      I'd never heard of it until reading this.  From the thread title I thought it had something to do with the state of Idaho.  But perhaps combined with something about Hobbits, which seemed odd.  My brain goes in weird directions.

      I had my surgery 11 years ago, and yes, I too find it much more of an urgent thing than it ever was before.  One possible culprit is going to be T blockers if you are still on them, also the urethral sphincter which holds the pee back is closer to the urethral opening now and more subject to stimulation. When we gotta go we gotta goooooo!!

      I notice that the Wikipedia article does not mention the U.S.A. which I can understand a bit.  The entire month of June here is Pride Month for all the organizations and is tied to the 1969 Stonewall Inn riots in New York and also our medical authorities are also not tied as thoroughly to the WHO as they are to the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Associations which write the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health which is generally in line with the WHO which does not play as big a part in our medical practices here.  The WHO does not impact us the way it does the other world countries which is why we are in the dark about the day.  Ironically though, one of the U.S. States is named Idaho which sadly is one of the most conservative and frustrating to the U.S. LGBTQ Community.   The day is international though in the sense of other European and Southern Hemisphere countries it seems.

      Hmm. Must have been that pesky 'International' word which made me assume that it was well known! I only became aware of it myself last year.   Brief history: May 17th is the day IDAHOBIT is acknowledged as it is the anniversary of when in 1990 the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was conceived in 2004 and first celebrated in 2005. It has gone on to include trans folk in 2009 and bi folk in 2015.   International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia - Wikipedia

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol.

      Ashley, I think searching for relationships are a lot like searching for jobs, they tend to come along when you aren't actually looking.  Perhaps you could step back from actively searching, at least for a little while, and instead, concentrate on just being out and about as yourself.  Like Mae and Abby have already mentioned, just keep up your volunteering, but don't focus on a need to find someone.  Maybe, just maybe, changing your tactics will result in someone finding you.    I do wish only the best for you, and I hope someone comes along who connects with you.
