Hi ya, Katie......

Donna Jean here.....

Hey, Hon...you never did say how much longer you have left....when do you get full out?

Have you seen a gender therapist yet? I think that you seem to have some anxiety and talking it out could help...especially with a therapist.

But, I'm here for you....heck I did Vietnam years ago, but I'm still around to talk about it! Would you like to talk? You can PM me or Face book chat in real time or Skype is always good...what do you think?

I'm willing to talk to you and try to help as much as I can!

Love

Donna Jean

I am retired military and did 2 tours in Vietnam. I had some problems afterwards before there was a name for Post Traumatic Stress and survived. I'm not sure of your question. If I knew a little more I might be able to help. Donna Jean may be a good bet if you want to talk.

I always feel that I’ve screwed up, am screwing up, have screwed up. Its not part of the military experience per se, for me it’s the after effects of cronic emitional child abuse. My entire life, my dad puts me down every chance he gets. No matter what, I’m wrong. Growing up with him for a father has left me with absolutely no confidncence at all. Even when everyone around me says I’m the expert I feel like I’m the biggest idiot in the room.

Now, the military can evoke those same feelings,espcially when a senior nco is screaming at me.

Hi Katie,

I have had the same feeling, however I attribute it to my transgenderness. I remember that at about the age of four my older brother made fun of me for playing with dolls. From that day forward I always was judging my behavior against a stereotype of male behavior. Often in new situations my natural tendencies led me astray and society pushed back uncomfortably reinforcing a lack of confidence in myself.

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.

      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      I am sorry for your struggles. I cannot empathize, but I can surely sympathize. I wish only the best for you!

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.

      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way. 
    • violet r

    • violet r
      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.

      Welcome to the party, M.A.     Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!
