Just Saying Hi


Guest Peetey

Recommended Posts

So I've been reading through the forums for the past week and have used the chat a couple times as well (probably for a bit too long hehehe) and feel like I may as well say hi and introduce myself. I don't really know where to start........ Anyways I'm 26 years old and I live in Michigan. I am a MTF in hiding to my family but out to couple of my girlfriends and I have a therapist who;s the greatest :D . I've acted very feminine my whole life and suffered a great amount of ridicule and being called gay amongst other things I wont say all through school. I'm a girly girl but also a bit of a tomboy sometimes. I did build a very manly facade to get by... just having a hard time keeping it up lately. Ah the first time i dressed I was somewhere around 8 years old (don't remember exactly).. One day I hope to have the confidence to make a full transition, but it's very hard for me to go out 'en femme' because of the fear of ridicule. For income I mostly am a tattoo artist but do other art occasionally, and believe me in the tattoo society TS is not very welcomed. My hobbies include songwriting (I play guitar keys and synthesizers and electric drums and love to sing), taking long baths, painting, dancing, and cooking. I also love kitties XD. Everyone I've met here so far has been great and I just want to say it is so nice finding friendly understanding people :D I feel very 'at home' for the first time.

peace and love,

Peetey

b.t.w. Peetey IS a girl name ;) at least to me

Glad to have you here.

Hey, Peetey, welcome to the Playground.

I'm glad that you've enjoyed your stay so far. The Chat Rooms are great, aren't they? A little too manic for me, but then I'm getting a little long in the tooth.

On the other hand, I just celebrated my new birth day last week when I started HRT. :) So I feel YOUNG again!

You seem like a talented young lady. We have a few musicians here, Sally among them, although she is far too modest to say. You're in good company.

Enjoy the forums, hon. I look forward to reading your posts.

Hi Peetey,

Welcome to Laura's. As you've already seen a little bit, it's a great place to learn, share, and enjoy. Lot's of great people. Even some Michiganians (or is that Michiganders?). We're glad you're here.

Hugs

Hey. :) Welcome to Laura's Playground, the most welcoming and close forum on the Internet. I'm surprised TS is not welcomed in the tattoo community. I'd think that a group of people who are not only artists but engage in behaviors but are not entirely mainstream would be more accepting. Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy this community. :)

      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.
