Just To Say "hi"


Guest Chuck

Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone!

My name is Chuck. This is my first time ever on a forum, so I am not quite sure what to write.

I knew I was transgender from the time I was about 18 months. I screamed and cried every time my Mom tried to put me in dresses and those were the 60's when "little girls" wore dresses, a hat, gloves, and carried a little purse. Yuck! During the week, she finally had to put me in overalls, or I would cry all the time.

I am now 50 something and I am well closeted. The only people who know who I truly am are my therapist and my life partner, so I am lonely for conversations with other transmen. Thanks in advance.

Chuck

Well hello Chuck!

I would like to welcome you to the forums and make a very concerted effort to make you feel ight at home.

So why don't you come on into the member's lounge and have a seat over here at my desk, you're going to need more than an end table for this.

I would like to offer you something a little different than my usual cookies or pizza - for you and just this morning I am going to share he breakfast that I was just fixing for me - I hope you like eggs, ham, hash browns and pancakes. :)

There is coffee int the kitchen and hot water for tea, I have 37 varieties available so have whichever you would like and of course Donna Jean has already made the hot cocoa for this morning - there are mini marshmallows in the cabnet.

Why am I making all of this fuss?

Because I want you to feel at home with our family, it is your family too.

There aren't too many older men here - we have a lot of young guys and older ladies - we are in the same generation and I want you t o be comfortable and stick around, you'll be meeting a lot of us near your age, Donna Jean should be here pretty soon for one.

Welcome to the friendliest place on Earth.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Chuck,

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.

Hello Chuck,

Welcome to Laura's

Use the resources here and you will find a sanctuary from everyday life like you won't believe.

This place is stuffed full of the most polite supportive helpful bunch around.

But let me warn you about one thing that I experienced. You have kept these strong emotions locked inside of you for a long time. When you no longer feel alone and can trust us all to let your true inner self out you might feel a rush of joy like you never have before. Those bottled up frustrations might come spilling out as feelings of great happiness, so be prepared. But this is a good thing.

The knowledge here is staggering, so take your time, ask questions and your self awareness will grow like you won't believe.

Welcome to your new family Chuck! the love and caring here is real and we want to make you feel better.

I hope you already do, Most Sincerely Love and Hugs, See Ya, Chandra

Welcome to the Playground, Chuck.

I'm glad to hear that you have a therapist and you're out to your partner, so that is really great.

We do have a lot of transmen here, and you'll meet some of them soon.

We're glad to have you. Now make yourself at home, because you are!

      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.

      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.

      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.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.

      Free?!?!  That's insane.  I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.   My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣

      I had a CDL when I was working for the city.  But I let it go when I retired.  I couldn't justify paying so much just to drive myself around.
    • Ivy
      While I'm sure the "Founders" had the 30 years war, etc. on their minds, they didn't write the constitution as considering only Christian sects. The early colonists (I used the word) did mostly come from areas of "christian culture" but it's hard to reconcile some of their actions with what Christ himself taught.   Christians have a right to their beliefs, but there are a lot of American citizens that do not consider themselves "christian."  I have seen writings where the US was specifically said not to be a "Christian Nation". "The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli that sought to secure America from attacks by the so-called Barbary pirates who were Muslim made a point to say that the United States "is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.""    It shouldn't be difficult to understand why the "Christian Nationalist" movement makes some of us uncomfortable.
