I have been around this forum for almost 2 years now. It's been a long journey to come where I am right now and to be comfortable with being who I really am.

I am a MTF pre-op living as a male at the moment. I just got the prescription for hormones today and starting them tomorrow (Spiro, Estradiol, & Prometrium - the whole package). It was hilarious to see the pharmacist freaking out today - I did ask him if he was comfortable filling out the prescription when I handed it to him, but I guess he missed that part. I've never had a prescription filled so fast in my whole entire life. lol. Being mature and confident about myself has definitely made me be a little more understanding of others when they freak out. A year ago, I would have been freaking out with the pharmacist. haha.

I just got my navel pierced on Monday. It looks awesome so far, but a little red from irritation. The tattoo place's employees were nervous as hell when dealing with me for some reason since I'm totally in male mode and I seem straight. I am very happy to be able to express myself in the way I want to. I can't wait until it completely heals!

I am 26. For some reason, I see transitioning to be refreshing and new. Once you become an adult, your life becomes cut and dry after you finish schooling. Transitioning at the moment seems to have given me a new lease on life. I know the road ahead will be tough at times and there will be many misunderstandings, but this is who I am and I can't run away from it. Here I stand. Proud, confident, and excited. Look forward to sharing my experiences and growing with all of you on this board. Thanks!

Hi Alexis

Welcome to the family honey, I'm so glad you decided to come in from the cold and introduce yourself. :lol:

It's always nice to hear someone with such a positive attitude on life but when you hit some of those bumps in road please be sure to come to us for some advice or perhaps just a shoulder to lean on. ;)

I'm looking forward to hearing more from you and am interested on how your next visit to the pharmacist goes. :D

Welcome to the Playground, Alexis. You may have set a Laura's record for time spent lurking. Two years is a long time!

You're familiar with the site, I;m sure, so I don't need to tell you about all the forums. Just know that you're always welcome to post in

any forum and never be afraid to ask any question. Someone will be here to answer.

Good luck on this part of your journey, hon. You're one of many who are starting HRT this year. Its going to be really fun sharing stories of

our transition together.

HUGS

Hi Alexis,

Dearheart, I do hope that you that your physician knows what they are doing. I am a little worried about the combinate effects of Spiro, Estradiol and Prometrium. Seems a little overkill to me, and dangerous. Combining all three is very hazardous. The pharmacist seems unprofessional. HRT therapies apply to both men and women for a myriad of reasons other than transitioning. For the pharmacist to assume that you were transitioning and was unprofessional about it is not acceptable. I would write a letter of complaint to the company.

Dearest, I am glad that you are confident where you are at right now. I am 49 and I can tell you my life is not cut and dry. I struggle each day on many levels. All I can say for age is that you do become deeper in your insight and undertsanding of things.

Welcome and be safe hon,

Brenda

      The numbers were not impressive really considering the magnitude of our largest counties.  The article does not say how many signatures were collected in the right areas or if the signatures were verified by the county ROV's.  The story is meant to be impressive and may sound that way to people in less populated political areas, but I am glad to say it turned out pretty weak.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/proposal-limit-transgender-youth-rights-224408735.html     Not too surprising in California, but scary that it still got 400,000 signatures.  Well, there are a lot of right leaning counties, for sure.   Carolyn Marie

      Hi @Arushi, welcome to TransPulse and thanks for sharing. Your story sounds familiar to me in some ways: I used to go out dressed femme exclusively at night and received a lot of attention from guys. Back then I had no interest in them, mainly since their attention so often resembled sexual harassment. But that was 12 years ago and a lot has changed. Now I am exclusively into guys, and proudly trans.    You ask are you wrong to crossdress; I would say absolutely not. It sounds as if this urge comes from a place deep within you, and I doubt you could suppress it for long if you tried. You also describe no harms that have resulted from your crossdressing. But maybe the real question is how do you feel about it? Leaving aside the societal stigma that can surround crossdressing, do you feel there is anything wrong with your behaviour? And lastly, does your wife know? If not, then that may be a problem. But if so, then imo the problem is in not being open with your wife, not in crossdressing. Crossdressing is a morally neutral act.

      I am opening up for the first time to someone other than myself. A bit about me; I am an Asian Indian male, 45 , married and dad, working professional from Portland. I have very mixed body features. I don’t have much hair on me and I wax so have a smooth body all over, light wheatish skin color, nicely done eyebrows and definitely size B manboobs, 6’2” tall and slightly curvy body, so I look like a tall woman when I am all dressed up. Growing Up; At a very young age , I got very intrigued with Wigs and Bra’s. I used to try on Bra’s starting age 14 and stuffed them up with socks. I used to roam wearing panties , and gown , usually taken off my dryers from my neighbors laundry. I remember this one weekend , I was all by myself and tried makeup for the first time and did my best , let’s just say it wasn’t bad for my first time. That was my best weekend being in woman clothing’s all day long around the house.  As I moved out of the house for college , I started freely and frequently cross dress, I bought my own silicone breasts , bra’s , panties  and dresses. I used to go to thrift stores and Ross, pick up the best in the lot, 44DD size and go into changing room and try them on with my Silicone boobs. I used to look for slightly worn panties , to make me feel I have been wearing them for ages. I got some cheap makeup, eyeliner, lipstick, foundation and the whole Shabang and 4-5 beautiful wigs. I had a closet full of items . Every Sunday, I would spend 3 hours dressing up , and sneaking out in public in my best woman attire, I used to get compliments all the time, many guys even approached me , I was flattered but never felt aroused for guys. Only when woman would stare , I would get a bulge .  Today: I still have a collection of cross dressing items and really good stuff from Sephora. I still cross dress and roam around in the streets of SF during my work travels (when I am off work) , you may run into me on one of my work trips. My wife and kids go on trips to visit my in laws for a month in summer, that’s when I am always dressed like a woman all around, with nail polish done too. I so feel in my element dressed as a woman. Sexual preference: I am into Woman, dominating woman that would control me, dress me up and take me on a girls night out. Make out with me in ladies room . Am I wrong in doing so? Should suppress my desires to cross dress?

      Yesterday I appeared on Brisbane community radio station 4ZZZ discussing the Cass Review, the recent NHS-sponsored review of gender-affirming care for kids in the UK. This is a seismic event for trans kids and their families worldwide, or as I said yesterday, “a world-class piece of anti-trans propaganda”. I have researched this solidly for the past month and will have waaaay more to say on the topic, but for now I hope you’ll listen to this quick overview. The episode is available to stream as a podcast via Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   Trigger warnings: transphobic healthcare, sexualisation of children (touched on briefly, but it is upsetting).   My heart goes out to trans kids and their families in the UK and anywhere else these policies are being enacted.   https://open.spotify.com/episode/3LAHs3VZB8zuGWGt41rzaL?si=BRUHUvz3QmWr5cyCEYyB0Q&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A3Jay63nMJ67bBMI9M59tKe

      No, though I am generally happy with my life. Transitioning later in life has left me in a position where I don't pass, and it sometimes confuses people, which makes me sad. I am able to live quite normally due to a supportive community, but I neither chose nor wanted to be trans, so I do hold a level of conflict with it. Early in my transition, my psychologist told me I needed to come to terms with my new role (but she had no advice how to do this) or I wouldn't find peace, and I doubt I ever will. I have learned to live with this, and I am trying to make the most of my time, but true peace and happiness has eluded me.   Hugs,   Allie

      My wife and I love to cook together, so we have started to create a recipe book to collect all the great flavors we've cooked over the years. These are amongst my favorites.
