A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

One is not born a woman, she becomes one.

Nobody can hurt your feelings without your permission.

I found this About 35 years ago and wrote it down. I have carried it in my wallet(s) ever since:

"There is nothing the rabble fear more than intelligence. If they understood what is truly terrifying, they would fear ignorance."

Goethe

That quote inspired me to go to college. I have a degree in psychology thanks to Goethe.

I am not sure if this is right topic to make this post in but if it is not can it be moved for me please??

Anyways I am a quote junkie.. I enjoy quotes and somethings feel short quotes can prove more powerful and motivating then then paragraphs and even chapters. Sometimes the least amount of words used the more it makes sense to me.

I spend a lot of time reading and reasearching all kind of things but quotes is one I do almost daily... So I figured I would start a thread here and add some of the more motivating and helpful ones I come across during my daily venture to find more that I can somehow relate to or find useful.. They hep sometimes pull through hard hours for me so hopefully they can others as well.. it is my hope at least...

I will add more from time to time but I am curious what quotes do ya'll find to be beneficial with dealing with lifes confusion and frustration? Feel free to share them

1. Not until we show our best side to all Living Species shall we know Peace Ourselves.

david tomkinson 1945

2. obstacles do no exist to be surrendered to only to be broken

3. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.

C. S. Lewis

4. You have to go through the rain to get to the rainbow

5. The only way to get the fruit is to go out on a limb

6. When you do things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all

7. Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates the holder and beholder.

8. The traveller's eye-view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.

9. You can have everything in life you want... if you'll just help enough people to get what they want.

Zig Zigiar

10. If you bribng forth what is within you,

what you bring forth will save you.

If you do not bring forth what is within you,

what you do not bring forth will destroy you

11. Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.

Jorge Luis Borges

12. It is in the darkest hours, the eyes can begin to see.

13. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Dr. Seuss

14. Those who say something can't be done are nto qualified to interfere with those who are doing it.

15. Resentment is the same as swallowing posion and expecting the other person to be the one to to suffer the violent death... it doesnt work..

Hiya Jabb,

Dunno who said this but I kinda like it and I feel it is relevant to our community, imho.

What we achieve in life echoes through eternity. Luv, Viv :)

THANK YOU - one of my favorite - didn't know where it came from.

Here paraphrased is another one of my favorites:

He who knows not and knows not he knows not - is a fool, shun him

He who know not, and knows he knows not - is a child, teach him

He who knows, and knows not he knows - is asleep, awaken him

He who knows, and knows he knows - is wise, follow him

I heard it said this is Chinese - does anyone know?

AND:

There is no limit to the amount of good that can be accomplished, if you do not care who takes the credit.

I don't know if I wrote that correctly or where it comes from. It's something I try to live by.

One I once heard on the radio -

All through life- let it be your goal

To look upon the donut - and not upon the hole

That was before I found out I am MTF - hee hee

And the mental patient - I might be crazy, but I am not stupid!

And Forrest Gump: 'I know what love is, Jenny'

Plus about everything else he said... especially at the end, 'I think it's a little of both," on randomness or fate in our existence.

      Welcome Cynthia   Glad you found us. For me having a safe place to share my journey towards self acceptance was so helpful. You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I'm new here and I just wanted to introduce myself! I'm Ali, I'm 17 and I am genderfluid. My pronouns at the time of writing this are He/they but mainly pronouns I use are She/ he/ they/ it. Its a pleasure to meet you all!   Thank you for reading! Ali ❤️

      There's many words to describe the same idea -- excellent, good, amazing, incredible, great, and other synonyms, for example. It's a shame that some people can't realize that the reason that so many words exist is that it's the human experience; There's a million ways to feel the same exact thing, or to express it. That includes gender. Not everyone wants to express their gender the same way, trans or no. If we try to say in order to be trans, you have to do a, b, and c, you deny all those "flavors" and "hues" that make up the human experience.   That's just my five cents, though

      I also play guitar, not very well though and dabble in writing poems and songs. It is a very peaceful way to relax.        💗 Cynthia 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I think the first thing may be to realize we have shared interests and shared opposition.  I read an article not long ago by someone who decided to non-op and non-hrt and her transgender friends basically decided she was a traitor and not really trans and had no right to speak on trans issues.  She said many trans people say you aren't really trans unless you do the whole surgical route and legal, etc.  Some insist on the gender binary, others insist on a spectrum.  There must be an agreement to disagree.  Not all of us here have the same viewpoint or the same experience or the same condition.  But we can identify common interests, like walking into a public restroom without fear of arrest, or the right to medical care.    The divisions are severe, heart-felt, and real, but from a practical point of view we need to lay some of those aside when we can for the common interest.  Some of those we cannot lay aside because of personal integrity, but we can work across the aisle, so to speak, something sadly lacking in the public arena today.

      Thanks Vicky!  I made a mistake with my topic heading, I consider myself as a Lady but I know that not everyone here thinks that way so I apologize for that.   I should say Hi everyone!! 💗 Cynthia

      Welcome to the Forums Cynthia.   We do have gentlemen here as well who are some of the nicest guys you can get to know.
    • VickySGV
      @Mirrabooka@Abigail Genevieve Let's not neglect the severe divisions within the Trans and NB sector as well along those lines.  Where we have Non Op & Non HRT and Cross Dressers, Gender Benders, Gender Fluid, Agender et al VS. the full surgical route takers with GCS, FFS, BA and vocal surgery,   Which of those segments gets to speak for the others?  How do we turn them into a cohesive force for good just among those nominally under the Trans shade tree??

      Hi, I am Cynthia, 62 year old lifelong crossdresser.  I have been dressing off and on for as long as I can remember. In the last ten years or so I have noticed that my dressing has become a major part of my life, I went through all of the purging and confusion and I came out feeling more like a woman every day.  Self acceptance is very powerful if you truly accept who you are.    Over the last few years I have built a nice wardrobe and now spend about 80% of the time as my true self. I only wear male clothing when visiting with family and running errands. I don’t know if I am trans or not, all I know is that I absolutely love myself as a woman and that’s how I feel about myself, that I am Cynthia.   I love wearing makeup, dresses and jewelry, it feels so good and natural to me.     I am thankful to have found this special place and look forward to being a part of this beautiful community!!  I hope to learn about myself and also to participate and interact daily and to help others in their journey as well.    If I could I would absolutely live full time as a woman and hopefully with help and encourage I will one day fulfill this dream. I love being a woman and thinking of myself this way. I’ve never thought much about my pronouns but I definitely like she/her for myself!!   Thanks for reading and I look forward to being here and sharing with you all!!     💗 Cynthia

      Good morning Felix,   I don't know how aware you are of the motives behind Military Boot Camp, but the most important thing it's designed to do is break you down, physically and mentally, weeding out those who can't make it. If you really want to be a Marine after you graduate high school? Stop believing you do things better when you're high. Clean your lungs by filling them with the fresh air of cross country running. Start small, run around the block, then around the track, then from your house to the track. Run everywhere! Run, run, run, and then when you can't go any further. Run some more. Do this feeling like you're going into Boot Camp in top physical condition, and your training will still break you down. That's what it's designed to do, and you'll earn the right to be called a Marine. The best thing about your wishes to become a Marine, is that it's something you can surely do with a proper mindset. Yes, it's very physical, but most of all it's mental. My brother-in-law is a retired Marine, and I love his stories ranging from his time in boot camp, to his time as a drill instructor. These conversations are not started by him. They're usually started by my nephew who is also a Marine. I can't say enough how proud I am of my family and friends who have or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. I will be equity proud of you too.   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was always playing the boy in house, and I HATED wearing dresses. I used to dress up super masc and go out to dinner to just make sure I could still pass as a boy. I thought of it as a game but.. uh.. nope.
