Just Saying Hi

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

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. :)

      Podcast episode on the Cass Review

      By Betty K · Posted

      I think there is one (and probably only one) way to positively view the Cass Review: it collects all the most powerful weapons of the “gender critical” movement into one convenient repository, at least as regards gender-affirming care. To me, it’s like a crash course in how to fight GC ideology and advocate for trans kids. I am seeing it as my doctorate in the topic.

      They have done so already I am afraid.  Nothing new really, but Cass included views of our home brewed bigots to create this.

      Trans-Woman HRT Journey Beginning

      By KathyLauren · Posted

      Hi, Kayla.   Another Bluenoser!  (Actually, I'm not a real one.  I am a CFA.)    I can't answer your question about the effects of spiro alone.  I started on spiro and estrogen at the same time.  I expect that spiro alone might relieve some dysphoria symptoms, but would not start any physical changes.  But that is just a guess.  The big thing with spiro is to drink enough water, since it is a powerful diuretic.   I started out getting my transition care from the Halifax Sexual Health Centre, but once my hormone regime was stable, I asked my GP if she would be comfortable taking over my prescription.  She was, so I no longer have to do the long commute into the city.   Regards, Kathy

      I can't answer your question since my doc's plan didn't start that way, but I do love to quote what she said to me when we began HRT when I see a post like this, "Let's get this party started!"

      Thanks for listening Vidanjali. And don’t worry, I am now planning two weeks off before I try to write a more in-depth response. I am well aware of how much Cass has been hurting me.

      You know the advantages we had using long division and multiplication, slide rules and log table?  We can look at a result and know right away if something is wrong with it. Kids that have grown up using calculators can hit keystrokes on their calculator but they have no clue that the answer is wrong when there is a factor of ten that they messed up.  Also we learned our basic math tables inside out and upside down. They use this new math that mixes everything up.

      Trans-Woman HRT Journey Beginning

      By Mikayla2024 · Posted

      Hi All,   So today, I finally met with my Nurse Practitioner in her office to officially go over HRT for me. A little bit of background about gender affirming care in my province I live in - Doctors and NP’s now have the authority to perform gender affirming care as per a new directive recently. I only know because 6 weeks ago when I met with her and telling her about who I truly am, she said that before our appointment she was in a province wide zoom meeting with the sexual health centre in Halifax about gender affirming care and them explaining to all the PCP’s that if they can handle gender affirming care in the community as it would help save resources to focus on the more sensitive clientele such as children and teens.   At the end, I had to sign a document ensuring I understood everything. I grabbed the document so fast and signed away !!   So, she prescribed XXmg of spiro daily in the morning (Anti-Androgen) to start for 4 weeks and then seeing how I respond to that, she’s going to then start me on Estrogen pills. I already have a follow up appointment booked at the end of June.   I trust my NP wholeheartedly, kinda disappointed that I didn’t get the E, but I totally understand why. I’m a little nervous with the side effects however of Spiro, but regardless of side effects I’m going ahead with the plan and trusting in process and becoming who I’m truly supposed to be.   Question though as I’m curious - I know it’s a low dose of spiro but even then what sort of changes can I see from just the spiro alone without the e for those first 4 weeks?    thanks everyone!!   Kayla

      Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it?

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Yes I do... Creating/Building handcrafted gifts for family and friends using wood or metal. Camping and all the things you think could go with that, hiking, fishing, hunting, bird watching, meeting new people, and music festivals. Bluegrass, Folk, Americana. Seeing new parts of the world, and historical locations. Star gazing.   My father use to say he didn't trust anyone that didn't have at least to vises. I'm not so worried about your vises, however I don't think anyone should have less than two hobbies.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
