Hi everyone

I just joined the forums and blogs and am pretty new at this so please bear with me. After 30yrs of hiding liying( mainly to myself) and denial I have come to terms that I am a woman in the wrong body. I feel I have been living in black and white and only had occational bursts of color. I have been putting on makeup and dressing up since as far back as I can remember but always in secret. The past 8 yrs my partner has known and been ok with it. I just feel like I not cheating myself when dressed up. I have also decided to seek out a therapist who can help me become the wan I am ment to be. I am planning on therapy and hormones as well as getting ride of the horrible hair on my body and face. I really hope that eventually I can totally get rid of my masculinity and have srs done. I am excited I have finally made these decicions as I have beenulling over it my whole life. I am still in the very beginning and realize it is going to be a long hard road, but for once I feel like a child at christmas. So that's me in a nutshell. I hope I can find some friends here. As well as people who can give me advise on any of there experiences. I know I am going to have tough times and friends are always good to have.

Love and kisses to you all

Congratulations, and it is sooo cool that your partner is cool with it. I find quite funny and ironic, all my previous girl friends are bisexual. I think that's the cool thing with girls though, were so open to things. We understand that when we love some one, it doesn't matter who or what they are, we just love them. Where as guys, well, I would assume if I fancy men after hormones, and I told a lover they would be all like "So... I've been having sex with a guy all this time then?". I mean I guess a lot of heterosexual divorces are made from GID, but I bet it's a higher percentage of divorce when it's the wife getting the sex change. Of cause your partner could be male, in which case I have based this whole paragraph on an irrelevant assumption...

Hugs :rolleyes:

Nadine - advice? You cannot shut us up! HEE HEE

We are all in a similar situation here - even the FTM have about the same stories - but in the other direction of course.

I was like you November 2008 - I first posted here - and I had just found my gender dysphoria trained therapist. I am 62 - married and have been in transition for about a year and a third now. I HAVE MY SRS LETTER! YEAAAAAAA

So I am on my way - finally. It's a rocky road. Like my therapist says, transitioning isn't for sissies!

Stay with us - get to know people and then you can private message those of us you feel comfortable with. Everyone is very nice here. And we want to help our new 'sister."

WELCOME

Hello Nadine,

Do come on into the Member's Lounge and have a comfy chair by the fire, I'll get you a nice cup of hot Cocoa, Donna Jean always makes sure that there is some here - you'll meet here in a little bit, she is really sweet as are so many of the lovely ladies and gentlemen here now would you like some of my fresh baked cookies - careful they are still hot from the oven.

You can almost feel the warmth, can't you - it isn't really from a virtual fire or hot cocoa it is the caring and love from all of our members welcoming you to our family.

I hope you enjoy Laura's, it has become my home and I love having family drop in and stay.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Nadine,

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

No you are not alone and now that you are here, you will never be alone again.

I too live in The Last Frontier.

I live in the Golden Heart of Alaska, close to North Pole.

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.

Hi Nadine, Im new here too and have found help and support on two levels. I have a beautiful daughter Diane who has spent more than 30 years trying to live in the wrong body and I didn't have a clue. She is now hopefully going to begin her hormone therapy and really begin her transition. She has spent a year in therapy which hasn't always been easy for her but I am so proud of how well she has coped. She too has a partener who is with her all the way that has helped her be strong. I know you have made the right decision I can't think of anything harder than constantly living a lie. Lauras has also helped me with the outing of a secret I have carried all of 57 years I was abused sexually and am now finding strengh and courage from the wonderful people I have connected with here. I love my daughter very much and am so looking forward to getting to know her properly. Heres a wish that you find the love ,courage ,respect and happiness you truely deserve. Love Dee Dee

Well, Good morning, Nadine!

Welcome to the Playground!

I just got here and I saw that you had joined, so I'd like to welcome you!

I see that you've met some really sweet people (the only kind that we have here!) and you are getting all settled in...Good!

You are starting your very first baby steps on a wondrous journey....

Amazing, incredible, terrifying, but...never boring!

It's so good to have you, Hon....

Relax and enjoy!

HUGGS!

Donna Jean

      Welcome to the Forums @gizgizgizzie we have folks in your situations to talk to and share with.

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).
