Hello Other Vets

Guest lydia

Hi my name is Lydia and I am a vet of RVN 65 and 66. Wow that sounds so long ago. Just thought I would stop by and see if any other vets around. Best to all, Lydia

I was initially very confused by the title of this forum. I presumed that transsexual veterans would be bragging, "I had my SRS in 1943", "Well I had mine in 1936". Maybe the word "military" belongs somewhere. (I never was in the military.)

veteran: A person with long experience of a particular activity.

I am dark haired, so will try my hand at translation for the benefit of the rest...

Please pardon me if I translate incorrectly....

"A risky assumption, ostensibly bereft of either extant or cursory substantiation.

The title of the thread seemed evinced, unless this is a function of linguistic differences"

Your first impression regarding veterans is kind of tenuous being, apparantly, without verification either by outside knowledge, or even a quick look. The title of this thread seemed to me to be descriptive enough, though I am willing to allow that this may just be an example of linquistic differences.

Huggles and Loves,

Kiera

OK I made the forum title better reflect what this forum is about. It is for military veterans who served or are serving their countries. This group is a lot larger than you'd think. Although many assume that LGBT persons didn't serve the fact is thousands did and many are serving now under the "don't ask don't tell" military policy.

I agree Laura. When I got drafted in '69. The physical was designed to eliminate the obvious not the emotional, the truth is I meet this 'Nam vet who would go home on weekends and party enfemm. I still wasn't at her stage, so I didn't join her. But that held her together,man. Jolene

Oh well I guess the main thing is we enjoy being the gals we are now.

      there have been some subtle changes already (after about six months), especially up top ... I have a huge wardrobe of women's clothes though I can't always wear them as much as I want ... best wishes to you!!

      Wife was scariest. Now that that is done, kids are now equally scary. No rush on that especially since I don't see any public appearances any time soon.

      My outfit for the Pride Festival
    • Ivy
      Got home from the Pride Fest. It went pretty well.  Really there weren't any protesters.  I saw a couple of guys with signs with them, but nothing really.  Someone told me they were up at the end of the block for a bit, but I never saw them. They did have a drag show.  I had never been to one.  It was okay I guess, kinda fun.  But this was "family friendly" and on the court square of course. I did see some people I knew, including my next door neighbor - which surprised the heck out of me.  I think she was there because a family member had a booth with baked goods. Didn't see the BDSM folks though.

      I have a son that lives up there.  I hate the traffic myself.

      Thank you @Betty K. They definitely matter and crest strong emotional and mental hurdles that try to trip me up daily. Sometimes I wish they away and others they scream at me and tell me I am a lie. The laser for my face has helped a lot, but it hasn’t taken care of everything—and I can’t afford starting electrolysis yet. I know it will be covered by insurance here, but I’ll need to be in network for quite some time before I can use it. I will also likely need new letters from a new counselor, too. Never mind voice training…   @EasyE, most definitely. It’s hard not to feel a burden on those we’d open up to.    @Ashley0616, thank you! Things could be so much worse, I fully realize. We can take the hits, but they still hurt. Others aren’t so lucky. 😢 Moving will pay off, for many reasons. Hopefully sooner rather than later!   Thank you all for being there for me!

      @christinakristy2021 NOVA!  I lived in NOVA from 1984 to 2006.  The traffic drove me out.  I lived in Centreville.  Which part are you in?  We loved riding the bicycle trails W&OD, C&O Canal, Mount Vernon Trail, Capital Crescent.  There sure is a lot to do in that area.   After NOVA we moved to Stephan’s City which is near Winchester.   Willow
