Hi Frenchi Rae welcome to our refuge. You're among friends. I think we all have an idea of what you're feeling right now. I know how nervous I was for so many things. I almost walked out of my therapists office on the first day from being so nervous. Then I put down the wrong date on the form that you fill out before your first appointment and didn't realize it until we where looking back at it and how nervous I was that first session and how far I've come months later.

When you feel up to it why don't you tell us a little about yourself and make yourself at home. :D

Hello, Frenchi Rae!

Welcome to the Playground, Hon!

I'm Donna Jean and I'd like to get you a hot cup of coco and some of Sally's delicious cookies...fresh!

You can have a seat by the fire and kick off your shoes.

If you have a minute, would you be sure to read the forum rules? There is a link at the top of most pages.

Also, we're a moderated site to keep everyone safe!

Sit back and some of the others will come by to say "HI!" in a bit....

And, it would be really cool if you could tell us a little bit more about yourself...it must be an interesting life out there in California!

It's so very nice to have you!

HUGGS!

Welcome Frenchi Rae,

We are very glad you came here, trust me there is nothing to be nervous about.

This place is full of the most helpful, caring, supportive bunch around.

But let me warn you, this place could change your life, and be your second family

I to am very new here and know it changed, possibly saved mine.

You no longer need to live with all those emotions bottled up inside you.

Release your feelings here Frenchi Rae and you will learn much about yourself, because many others

have similar lives and are caring enough to be your friend and try to help.

Best Wishes Chandra

Hi Frenchi Rae,

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

We all look forward to seeing you.

Welcome to the Playground, Rae. I'm glad you found us, hon.

Its natural to be nervous so don't worry about it. I was too when I first got here. Someone dear to me encouraged me to post often, and so I'll pass

that same encouragement on to you.

We're here to help and support you, so don't be shy. Ask any question, post any comment, and someone will be along with a reply before long.

Make yourself at home, honey, because you are!

Good Morning Frenchi Rae,

I think you have the idea that we are very friendly and there is no need to be nervous.

When I first joined I had the idea that I was the only person in the world with these feelings or that 'they' were all a very odd group of misfits, well guess what - I wasn't alone after all and now I know that 'they' are really a group of wonderful, caring and extremely diverse people and 'we' are just like everybody else.

Welcome to our family because it is your family now.

Love ya,

Sally

Welcome to Laura's Frenchi Rae. Like Shilo said, tell us a little about yourself so that we get an understanding where you are at in your transition. We are here to help with any questions you may have. Just keep on posting.

Love,

Sarah F

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly. 
    • Ashley0616
      I can understand that. My Keurig is used for hot water mostly and when my mom comes. I mostly use a regular coffee maker. I have had that for 5 years now. I had a Bunn but it didn't last long. I also have a French press and rarely use that. I would love to get a cappuccino maker but that is for later on. Starbucks is getting expensive. My kids favorite thing there is the cake pops. I found out that Walmart Neighborhood Market has them. Typical me getting off topic. lol

      Well, welcome M.A. Several of my now grown kids were involved in theater in school.  And one is now a graphic designer.

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      Edit: Latest album is called "Drumless". My bad. The name of their tour is Drummer.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.

      "The Health and Human Services Grants Regulation (HHS Grants Rule) Final Rule protects LGBTQI+ people by clarifying and reaffirming the prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex – including sexual orientation and gender identity – in specific health and human services programs, consistent with the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. 644 (2020)."   https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2024/04/30/hhs-issues-final-rule-prevent-discrimination-health-and-human-services-grant.html

      Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "uplifting news" or "news" forum. This bill is pro-LGBTQ+, albeit 30 some odd years too late with 100s of thousands of lives lost throughout the AIDS crisis. The upshot is that ol' Ron has actually done some good for the community. That's really...something...although I doubt he sees it that way. And most importantly, greater access to screening and care will save many lives.   https://ncpa.org/newsroom/qam/2024/05/01/floridas-governor-signs-bill-expand-hiv-care

      Both of my parents were raised in WASP-ish families. What was or wasn't appropriate, with an emphasise on superficial appropriateness (conformity) was verbally beaten into me the second I hit puberty.   Which is really sad as I think back, and was bewildering at the time. I remember being really free to be expressive how I wanted to and then once I started puberty, all of that freedom disappeared and I didn't understand, at all.
