Just To Say "hi"

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.

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

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!

      The numbers were not impressive really considering the magnitude of our largest counties.  The article does not say how many signatures were collected in the right areas or if the signatures were verified by the county ROV's.  The story is meant to be impressive and may sound that way to people in less populated political areas, but I am glad to say it turned out pretty weak.

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/proposal-limit-transgender-youth-rights-224408735.html     Not too surprising in California, but scary that it still got 400,000 signatures.  Well, there are a lot of right leaning counties, for sure.   Carolyn Marie

      Hi @Arushi, welcome to TransPulse and thanks for sharing. Your story sounds familiar to me in some ways: I used to go out dressed femme exclusively at night and received a lot of attention from guys. Back then I had no interest in them, mainly since their attention so often resembled sexual harassment. But that was 12 years ago and a lot has changed. Now I am exclusively into guys, and proudly trans.    You ask are you wrong to crossdress; I would say absolutely not. It sounds as if this urge comes from a place deep within you, and I doubt you could suppress it for long if you tried. You also describe no harms that have resulted from your crossdressing. But maybe the real question is how do you feel about it? Leaving aside the societal stigma that can surround crossdressing, do you feel there is anything wrong with your behaviour? And lastly, does your wife know? If not, then that may be a problem. But if so, then imo the problem is in not being open with your wife, not in crossdressing. Crossdressing is a morally neutral act.

      I am opening up for the first time to someone other than myself. A bit about me; I am an Asian Indian male, 45 , married and dad, working professional from Portland. I have very mixed body features. I don’t have much hair on me and I wax so have a smooth body all over, light wheatish skin color, nicely done eyebrows and definitely size B manboobs, 6’2” tall and slightly curvy body, so I look like a tall woman when I am all dressed up. Growing Up; At a very young age , I got very intrigued with Wigs and Bra’s. I used to try on Bra’s starting age 14 and stuffed them up with socks. I used to roam wearing panties , and gown , usually taken off my dryers from my neighbors laundry. I remember this one weekend , I was all by myself and tried makeup for the first time and did my best , let’s just say it wasn’t bad for my first time. That was my best weekend being in woman clothing’s all day long around the house.  As I moved out of the house for college , I started freely and frequently cross dress, I bought my own silicone breasts , bra’s , panties  and dresses. I used to go to thrift stores and Ross, pick up the best in the lot, 44DD size and go into changing room and try them on with my Silicone boobs. I used to look for slightly worn panties , to make me feel I have been wearing them for ages. I got some cheap makeup, eyeliner, lipstick, foundation and the whole Shabang and 4-5 beautiful wigs. I had a closet full of items . Every Sunday, I would spend 3 hours dressing up , and sneaking out in public in my best woman attire, I used to get compliments all the time, many guys even approached me , I was flattered but never felt aroused for guys. Only when woman would stare , I would get a bulge .  Today: I still have a collection of cross dressing items and really good stuff from Sephora. I still cross dress and roam around in the streets of SF during my work travels (when I am off work) , you may run into me on one of my work trips. My wife and kids go on trips to visit my in laws for a month in summer, that’s when I am always dressed like a woman all around, with nail polish done too. I so feel in my element dressed as a woman. Sexual preference: I am into Woman, dominating woman that would control me, dress me up and take me on a girls night out. Make out with me in ladies room . Am I wrong in doing so? Should suppress my desires to cross dress?

      Yesterday I appeared on Brisbane community radio station 4ZZZ discussing the Cass Review, the recent NHS-sponsored review of gender-affirming care for kids in the UK. This is a seismic event for trans kids and their families worldwide, or as I said yesterday, “a world-class piece of anti-trans propaganda”. I have researched this solidly for the past month and will have waaaay more to say on the topic, but for now I hope you’ll listen to this quick overview. The episode is available to stream as a podcast via Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   Trigger warnings: transphobic healthcare, sexualisation of children (touched on briefly, but it is upsetting).   My heart goes out to trans kids and their families in the UK and anywhere else these policies are being enacted.   https://open.spotify.com/episode/3LAHs3VZB8zuGWGt41rzaL?si=BRUHUvz3QmWr5cyCEYyB0Q&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A3Jay63nMJ67bBMI9M59tKe

      No, though I am generally happy with my life. Transitioning later in life has left me in a position where I don't pass, and it sometimes confuses people, which makes me sad. I am able to live quite normally due to a supportive community, but I neither chose nor wanted to be trans, so I do hold a level of conflict with it. Early in my transition, my psychologist told me I needed to come to terms with my new role (but she had no advice how to do this) or I wouldn't find peace, and I doubt I ever will. I have learned to live with this, and I am trying to make the most of my time, but true peace and happiness has eluded me.   Hugs,   Allie

      My wife and I love to cook together, so we have started to create a recipe book to collect all the great flavors we've cooked over the years. These are amongst my favorites.

      lol Now logarithmic is a word I haven’t heard since I was in High School in the mid 60s. @Mirrabooka.  We used to use logarithms to be able to do higher level math.  Of course this was before calculators,  we also used slide rules.  The first personal calculators that were capable of more than more than simple math cost hundreds of dollars.  And only came out in the mid 70s.   Today you carry a very capable computer in your pocket or even on your wrist.
