Mucho amor.

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

Hello Nykeisha,

Welcome to the forums.

I believe that you have the idea that we are very friendly and consider the playground to be our home and as such we are a family.

So I am so glad that you have joined the family.

Love ya,

Sally

Where do I start? Hmm...

I'll start with my name! I came up with it, because I have friends named Nyisha & Keisha, and I love their names, so I combined the two.

I'm mixed Haitian & Hispanic, I've wanted to be a girl since I was 12, but all the feelings came up earlier than that. I absolutely love make up and fashion. The first person I came out to was my friend, and then I had her tell another friend of mine. I mustered the strength to tell more people (my parents, and the school's Gay-Straight Alliance) after I told another girl about my feelings.

Just a few days ago I told my parents, and after the firestorm of drama that occured afterwards, I think they're starting to accept me a lot more even though there's going to be future drama with my other family members.

Nykeisha Alexandria was one of MANY names I considered using. Jessabelle Mykaela, Nicolette Karinne, and Karinne Shanice were some of the names I planned to use.

I have to wait for my physical by my doctor to tell him about how I'm feeling, which I'm hoping I have the courage to do. I have no idea where I'd go on from there, but I do know I'll have to see a therapist, to make sure I'm stable or something. I was considering DIY hormone treatment, but it's dangerous from what I've seen, and I don't know where exactly I'd get enough estrogen to do that.

Aside from fashion and make-up, I love writing and music. (I'm an artist above all else, I think) I also absolutely love history and astronomy.

:) Cover everything? If there's anything you'd like to know, just ask.

Love,

Miss Nykeisha Alexandria.

Hello Nykeisha,

What a beautiful name, welcome to your new sanctuary. Here you can let the real you out.

I commend you for opening up to us at your age. Get involved with the members here and you will feel

much better.

The combined knowledge here is staggering, you no longer have to feel like you have a few friends. Now you have

hundreds in your new family. Now does'nt that make you feel a little better already.

Relating to those, like yourself will help you understand yourself better. Understanding will change brain chemistry, and

help your mind and body harmony to be as one. This is what we all strive for.

A very wise member here named Brenda, told me slow evolution is the key, not shock, will help your acceptance in the outside

world. You are already accepted, and supported here. The outside world is much more of a challenge.

But armed with what you learn here will make it a little easer.

Take Care and Best Wishes for the future. Love Chandra

I'm going to take it slowly. At first I was thinking to just go out and say: "This is the real me, like it or begone!" but that wouldn't have been very well recieved, and understandably so.

How exactly do I break out of the act of boyishness though? Does that all come with time? I'm starting sorta to come out of it now, with how I move and walk.

Yes it is all a matter of time.

We have suppressed who we are for a very long time and there is an initial period where we are 'trying' yo be female - stop that!

You are already female just give yourself permission to act on it and when people ask you about what is going on you decide whether to tell them or not.

Love ya,

Sally

      just found a cute pair of denim shorts with flowers embroidered in two places on the front ... daring myself to wear them around family today ... the flowers match the deep rose of the t-shirt I just bought...

      Not to justify it, but this is what happens when folks rely on accepting money from the government.  It just isn't secure!  When the times change and different winds blow, you find yourself coming up short on funds.  Don't trust the feds, don't trust the state.    I don't believe in separation of church and state.  I believe the USA is a Christian nation, but that Congress doesn't make an establishment of which kind of church that refers to.  Reading the writings left by the Founders (who were mostly Christian or Deist), I think it is pretty clear that they wanted to avoid the bloody Protestant vs. Catholic conflicts that had been going on in Europe for the previous 250 years.    I think one huge problem is that we've had a separation of culture and state already.  There's been an abandonment of traditional American culture, or at least a significant change in it.  People often act servile, not independent.  People seek government help rather than taking care of themselves and those around them.  Its like everybody is waiting for an answer, like baby birds in the nest chirping to have something delivered to them from up above.    To me, the federal government has two purposes - to keep foreign forces and influence out of our territory, and to tax foreign trade to protect domestic economy.  They've pretty much failed at both. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, yes!  Its how I met my two trans friends.  My husband helped to arrange jobs and housing for both of them.  And in the process, they also fell in love, and so far their relationship is going well.  I'm glad to have been part of helping out.

      I am not sure what "it" you are asking about.  The surgery, or the increased urgency of peeing?   I haven't felt any increased urgency.  I can hold it for as long as I used to, I think.  One thing that is different is that, once I start, it is almost impossible to stop the flow.  My pelvic floor physio said I had really good control of my pelvic floor muscles, but it didn't help with that.   My goal for surgery was just to have a female body.  I think I was foreseeing the persecution that is rising now.  Part of my reasoning, though I didn't plan it out clearly in those terms, was that I would be able to pass a strip-search gender check.  I was thinking more about passing in locker rooms, but passing in police lineups may be more necessary if certain political elements get their way.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  That's crazy that somebody just comes onto your private place and starts demanding stuff.  You're absolutely right to press charges.  It seems like there's very little respect for private property these days. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Actually, my husband has two different job titles at his company.  He's transportation manager, and also one of the project managers.  Its funny because he's got an office in the main building, and a smaller one in the transportation building, and he's rarely in either one.  He's got three site foremen who report to him, and also the shop supervisor and drivers' supervisor.  So he usually spends his days at installation sites, meeting clients, or handling all the paperwork that keeps the transportation side of the business compliant with FMCSA rules.    But he's definitely a truck driver by personality, and he taught me how to drive and helped me get my CDL.  Kind of a backup option for a job if I ever needed one.  I think this week is going to be one of those "all hands on deck" kind of occasions, so we'll probably take a load or two.  I'm looking forward to it.  Its really funny when I'm driving and we get into a truck stop.  I get out of the cab, and I get a lot of stares because of my size and looking like I'm a teenager.  And we get more stares when we share a shower.  
    • Lydia_R
      Yep, this thing is a red flag that people should be super aware of on this site.  I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years.  I'm a house cat like that, so this isn't much of a deterrent for me.  I've been venturing out into the women's restrooms a little bit lately, but as is typical of people like me, I'm just in there to do my business and get out.  I avoid that as much as I can and use those single bathrooms whenever I can.  I went over a year without going to a public restroom.  I just don't go out much.   I haven't stood to pee in 7 years now.  The idea of surgery is very, very scary for me (I wrote a book about it).  I'm likely going to do it though.  I would like some evidence from other transwomen of what it is really like.  I'm not one to take plane flights, but taking a flight for that is well justified.  Before my testosterone was blocked, there was a much larger sexual side to M->F transition.  Now sexuality plays a back seat to the idea of wanting to pee like a woman.  It's always been in my mind, but the desire for that has grown.   Respectfully, Lydia_R

      I've gotten to the point lately where I'm thinking of the extension of the separation of church and state to separation of culture and state.  Government's purpose to ensure a construct of civility.  Food, clothing, shelter and justice for the individual.  That includes the roads as far as they pertain to the distribution of food, clothing and shelter.  And "ensure" is different than "provide".   I think that there is no way to truly express yourself or have a good foundation without having a personal culture.  I like telling stories and teaching lessons through my culture, but I always hope that people don't think I'm promoting my culture beyond it just being visible as an option.

      I would imagine the GOPers are holding that by bull in their hand and paying attention to the Trump version with the nine commandments highlighted.

      Having to call the police on a woman that was being a Karen.Was in my shop fixing my car and wanted me to fix hers.Told her it was my personal shop and told her no.Would not take no for an answer and called the police.I did decide to press trespassing charges on her.I knew she was one of those entitled people

      It is scary, (and as you say, thrilling) at first.  But the more you do it the easier it gets.  I dress fem 24/7 (almost always skirts and dresses) and I live in a conservative county of a "red state".   Sure, there are places I avoid, but I have little desire to be there anyway.  It gets to just be part of who you are.   My experience is that most people don't care, some are curious, and surprisingly many (usually other women) friendly.   The first steps are the hardest.  It's similar with bathrooms.
    • Ivy
      Don't know how this posted itself.  To continue…   There was a time when I tried to make excuses for them.  But I am coming to the realization that in their eyes, I, and those like me, are 2nd class citizens at best.
