Hi everyone, I'm new here and just starting out. Right now I'm just consider a crossdresser but hopefully soon I will be going on "T" but I need some advice. Like I've already chosen my name, going to set up therapy, my complete wardrobe has nothing girlish in it, thank goodness lol. But the only problem I have is trying to afford a binder, etc. If anyone can give me some pointers that would be so helpful.

Love,

Hello Michael,

Or do you prefer Mikey?

Either way, I am glad that you have found us - for some reason most of the guys here are off at work in the mornings or something, maybe the gym but anyway they will be along later with information for you - do look around a bit and particularly right over at that picture on the wall *grabs a slice of pizza and tries to look innocent*, seriously do read posts in any forum we all contribute support to each other and acceptance - WOW this is a great place!

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

Welcome to the Playground, Michael. I hope you enjoy your time on this site.

We have an all-inclusive site here, with members from all over the gender spectrum. As you may

have seen already, there is a forum just for FtM's, although you're welcome to read and post in any

forum. Please do check out the Chat rooms too, OK? Lots of fun people over there.

I look forward to reading your posts. Please feel at home.

Hi Michael,

<<curtsey>>

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 FTM meetings -Mon & Fri 8pm est, and you are welcome to attend.

We all look forward to seeing you.

      Nice to meet you @Mwm684 and Welcome! Congratulations on your decision to finally start living as your True Self.  It also took me (and others here too) many years to finally make that same commitment.  I am also happy you have support of your spouse and those around you.  That's very important. I am sure you will feel the positive effects of HRT once you are able to start (it can sometimes take a couple of months to really 'feel it' though).  I think you will find this Forum and Community very beneficial in your Journey.  Wishing you all the best!   Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It's Justice served ... but unfortunately in the Politics of America nowadays justice has also become politicized.  But still Happy with the verdict.

      I am happy to finally give myself ALL of the emotional space I need ... sometimes I don't even need a reason

      California comes through again..  Proud to be a native.  But even here there is an undertone of intolerance that is both just under the surface or geographically prevalent.  We just need to stay on guard ... and stay Visible.

      Welcome @Nonexistent! Glad you're here (I'm a bit late on the welcoming committee, ladies are allowed to be fashionably late right?).   Not presenting as the gender in my head & having others validate that when they misgender me sucks. But a fact I had to face a few months ago & am working on today is I'm a transgender woman, not cis. The chances of me passing all the time every time are slim. Sometimes it happen & feels really good when it does. I appreciate those people who acknowledge my femininity whether they're just being nice, or they see the woman inside.     Everyday now & as often as needed throughout the day I say to myself, "I'm a transgender woman, I didn't make me this way, today I will love & embrace myself just as I am, I will not be ashamed." I find it helps me be comfortable with who I am, just as I am. I'm still working on me, becoming the best transgender woman I can. I'm finding it easier to let go of what others might think.    I'm not sure about Texas I haven't been there since beginning my transition, but I was living in Florida since I began just over three years ago & politically it's not much different. I've been here in RI about a month & I honestly don't see a big difference in how people see, treat, or gender me here to how they did in FL.    I hope you find the wonderful advice,support, & acceptance here as I have.   Hugs! Delcina

      Hi Lydia, My paternal grandmother was very similar. I am grateful for having had a chance to know her.   Hugs! Delcina

      I was fairly surprised that the verdict came so quickly, but I guess the evidence was much more persuasive and overwhelming than we were led to believe.  What's disheartening, but not unexpected, is how fast some "leaders" have rushed to discredit the jury and everyone involved in the process.  The jurors, who spent 5 weeks of their time sitting in that courtroom, deserved better than that.  But those "leaders" I mentioned are just following the lead of their "Fearless Leader" in discrediting everything that doesn't go their way.   Carolyn Marie

      Welcome! Glad you're here! So happy for you having your wife's support as well as her family & at work! You might look for a transgender support group or PFLAG in your area. I found them very helpful, especially as I began my social transition & going out into the world.   Hugs! Delcina

      Welcome to Tran Pulse, @Mwm684.  It would be helpful, but not required, if you could give us a name of some kind that is less awkward than what we currently have.   Glad to hear that things at home and at work are going well for you.  I hope that continues.  Please let us know how we may be of service.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Happy Birthday Charlize! You know having met in person I think you may be stretching the truth a bit just to get senior discounts. I would have to say not more than a day over 29. Thank you for sharing this, our journeys intertwine in such a wonderfully delightful way.   Hugs! Delcina

      Hello, I was born male but always wished to be female every day of my life. I am currently 48 years old and have an appointment with my GP to start HRT. I came out to my wife about 3 months ago and she has taken the news rather well. I have told my wife’s sister and her family, I have told my immediate supervisor and our facility operations manager at my work. So far all is well. I wish I had the courage to come out sooner but the fear and shame was just too much. I live in southwest Michigan and would really like to make some friends for support eventually. My wife and I are doing great and have no danger in splitting up over my situation. I have been dressing at home with my wife’s help for now. This really helps but I’m looking forward to HRT for the mental benefits as well as the physical benefits down the road.

      This hand written stuff is just a few years old, but those math animation graphics are decades old.  Those Flash Math Creativity days.  Lots of good memories from that.  I never read that book, but you know, I was fully in that thing.   I called the collision detection I was coding 4 dimensional math.  My roommate a few weeks ago was describing the fourth dimension as a cube within a cube, connected at the corners and folding in on itself.  I always considered the fourth dimension to be time.  I'm not sure I ever coded a 3 dimensional collision detection, but I realized that you would just do it with the perpendicular plane and then take the closest hit.  My mind certainly isn't in all the details of it right now.  I'm simply enjoying showing some of my work and perhaps it will spark someone else's interest.  I guess my art work doesn't fall into a clean boundary of illustration.  There is a thing about adopting a theme though.  You've got to work with something in an OOP world.

      That’s so wonderful! I’m glad to hear that mono-therapy worked for you! But Thank you, I’m def trusting the process and seeing where it leads. 😊     That’s really kind of you to say all of that. It makes me feel better that the plan I’m sticking with is unique to me as every plan each and every one of us is on is unique. And yes, I absolutely echo your sentiments about communicating clearly and openly with my provider if something doesn’t feel right or not working. Very good advice! 😊   I told my provider at the appointment that my plan was to do mono-therapy once my levels were good. She said when that time comes it will definitely be considered, but for now it’s getting my levels where they need to be is her main concern.
