Hello everyone, I just wanted to say that I am thankful to found this site. It has given me so much info. And hopefully it will continue to do so. I am 51 yrs old and have felt incomplete my whole life.

I retired from the Navy in 1996, have been married for 25 yrs. But I still don't feel right, I have my first appointment with a gender therapist on the 3rd of Feb. I'm looking to start hormones by this summer.

Thank you for listening Danielle

Welcome to the Playground!

I see that you're a vet, I am, too, but not retired...After a tour in Vietnam, I really didn't want to stay in any longer!...lol

Let me get you settled in with a cup of hot coco and some of Sally's wonderful cookies!

Then you can sit by the fire and get all comfy while some of the others come by to say "HI!"

Hon, please take a moment to read the forum rules...you'll find a link at the top of most pages..

And please know that this site is moderated to keep it safe for all...

Oh, don't forget to stop by the Vets forum and leave a note, too...

Welcome to the Playground, Danielle. Its nice to see another new member from the Golden State.

There are a lot of us transwomen who are late bloomers, myself included. I started seeing a G.T. last July, start hormones later this month, and am 55.

So you have lots of company, hon.

Please look around the forums, ask all the questions you want (we charge a dollar a question :P ), and you can be sure to get a prompt answer,

unless of course you post at 3:00 a.m., and then you might see a delay of, oh, 20 minutes. :)

Look forward to seeing you around.

Hi Danielle,

I can see that your new here and your probably also new to the community. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the board or me.

It’s my habit to offer assistance to active and recently detached military people. I know a lot of the issues that you may have questions about and I think I’m pretty good at helping milspec type people.

Like the Tricare question… you can also go to the local VA and receive counseling and have your prescriptions filled. That’s the new rules that are in place. If you’re in one of the less progressive states you may have to lean on them a bit. But so far I haven’t heard any horror stories. If you’re in one of the very progressive states they can approve SRS on a case by case basis. I can only suggest 1 state and 1 doctor that I know has done it.

So welcome to the board and the community. If you want additional resources of information, just ask ok?

Hugs (don’t worry babe, everything is going to be ok)

Gina

Hi Danielle,

<<hug>>

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 have MTF meetings-Mon & Sat 9pm est, and you are welcome to attend.

We all look forward to seeing you.

      Been using the wok on the back deck a lot the last few months.  Just got another stock of udon noodles from Amazon and we are using those in the stir fry with onions, peppers and a spicy peanut sauce.  I did this often in the 90's too, but back then I was just using a standard Coleman camp stove instead of this high BTU wok burner.  I've had the burner for a couple years, but haven't been using it regularly until recently.

      I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks.

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
    • DonkeySocks
      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.
