Being With The Wrong Person. I Dont Know If I Should Post This.

Before you reply, Please read all. I am sorry if some of this content is more for Adults but I think it was nessuary to explaine what was said from him to a point to get a good respones.

Im am sorry this is a little emberrssing for me, to talk about, but I neeeeeeeeed to get out of my system.

I started Monday Febuary 11, 2008, it started the work day as normal. Running my loads of Demo, from the Job to the Dump. Untell that one thing happend that would make a small improvement on my work. The loader broke down. Brakedowns are a good thing because I can sit on the job and still get paid, but anyway back on topic, I was standing on the top step of the driver side of my step cleaning out my truck, when I a man came up to me and started a small talk between us. All of the sudden he said "Ya know I like to get my load drained everynite or as often as I can. How about you, do you have a man to do that for you?" The first mistake I think that I made is that I told him "No I do not have a man in my life, have not had one in my life for a couple of years now."

Mental pic for ya, he is 350 lbs, giving him the best of all but he may have more. He is 45+ years old and going bald.

Now at the end of the work day, after I just got signed out for the day I was sitting there in my truck waiting for the other trucks to move out of the way so I can get going to dump the load, 2 trucks in fornt 1st one wanted to talk to the Job SUP. about something I dont know what, but he decided to make contact again, this time he asked me if we could get hooked up on the jobsite somewhere, and I looked at him and said while banging on the back of my truck, No sleeper man, no sleeper. My truck used to have a sleeper on it but the company decided to take it off and put a shet of metal with a window so that I can see out the back to if the trailor is leaning, but anyway he said "Well we could go somewhere else on the job and get it on." Well I looked at him and said that I don't do that at work. I have fun with what I do, Dance with my music in the truck driving down the road, I play a game on my phone while I am waiting to get loaded, but I do not mix that kind of fun and work together, they do not mix. "OK OK well can I get your phone number so that we can get the hook up later this week. 2nd mistake I told him yes.

After all is said and done, when we were taking about it, it did sound tempting, with a offer like that. but will explaine more down.

The next day, Tus.

He keeped reminding me that I told him that I would give him my phone number, I have been putting it off, and putting it off, and putting it off, untell he got out of the loader, and came up to me and said "You said you would give me your number, can I have it now?" Just the nite before, I was in this chat room and got some advice on Phone numbers to give him, from a Rejection Hotline. I have everything laid out and ready to give him the number, but I forgot what I was doing and gave him my real number, and told him that it is turned off at the moment due to the fact of it not being paid, but it will get turned on again on Friday.

Wen.

I was able to keep much to my self for most of the day. Except when he drove his loader by my truck, I did not see him Because I was writing down my last load ticket number and waight of the truck, and he was just there the only thing said was "Smile they are FREE." That after noon as I was getting signed out again he asked "How much experance do you have, and what do you like." I told him that I do not have very much experance, I am in to trying new thing but S&M, will not do S&M, for anyreason. He says "OK OK I know the feeling." By this time the boss is telling me to get out of here with the load and go home.

His last word to me were see you tomarrow.

Thur.

Trying to avoid contact with him, witch I was able to do again, untell the last load when he got out of the loader and asked a few more question like, How soft is your skin, do you like it rough. ECT ECT. Sorry I dont want to get in to much troube bcause of some of the stuff that he said. I answered his questions by telling the Truth. Except of some of the changes that are going on in my life. Then he stated that there is a big piece of cable hanging off the side of my trailor, said that he could not get it because of my tarp arms are in the way. He did not want to mess up my tarp arms. As I am crawling up the side of my big Trailor he said "I could have got it, but I just wanted to look at your Butt." Got the cable and talked a little bit more tring to sway him of the topic of Making out with me, and left.

Fri

The best day of the week. did not have to see him all day, I was running Steel out of the Demo job BuckingHam Mall here in Denver. Had 5 loads then I was done, then the boss called me to go back out there to help finish up the area, so that they can start on a different area of the big Demo job.

I know the Job SUP. very well. We are friends and all we get together every now and again. I Jokingly asked him "Why are you calling me out here, you could not finish the job with out me? I was on my way home when the boss called." he replyed "I told the labors that we had to get the job done tonite, and had to call more trucks out here. Your boyfriend told me to call your boss and tell him to send Amanda out here., so he did." Luckly I had no contact with him

just a wave.

I got my sell turned back on, on Sat. with the same number.

While we were talking it sounded really tempting to just toss it out the window and do it, on the weekend or after work, but after words I was Playing like I was HOMER SIMPSON :banghead: DO' UH, why did I just do that.

He was exposed to call me this weekend, I have a cover story to tell him on why I cant do anything with him.

My nefew has Type 1 Dibetes, he was in a coma for 3 days, his surger was so high that if it was any higher you could touch the moon. They gave him a 5% chance to live. This was about 4 or 5 years ago. It may be rude to do so but I am going to tell him that he just went in the hospitle all of this is going to take place the day he wants to get together, and I have in place a couple of rules #1 GOD, FAMILY, WORK, FUN. Family in need will come first. Even if I have to make it my life. Work, Home, take care of Family.

I have helped manige his Dibetes in the past untell SS came in and took him away from his mother for other reasons not to be explined. It was hard time, Poking his finger 4+ times a day giving him the shots of med, he needed to control his surger, it was hard work, it took up a lot of time, but it was, and is well worth it. Knowing that I get to know this person, eventhough he was in my life since birth.

It is bothering me that the fact of I may have lead him on to something that would never happen in the first place.

I have talked to some people on the chats about him I think on Tuesday, got some good advice, but forgeting what I was doing did not do anything that I was givin advice for. I do want to thank all Tues. nite for the Advice.

Amanda,

This is my opinion so feel free to take it as so with a grain of salt and all. From my view point looking in I have to say that this is up to you in this situation. With me I have a wonderful Boyfriend. My taste in men is that of the classic Girls fanticy. I wanted a complete gentleman and was surprised beyond belief. I found one of all places in a Shopping mall. He is 6'3" about 200 pounds. He works for my county's Police force. And of all things I found out he was and still considers himself straight. I am a pre-op MTF. I think that we fell for each other the moment we saw each other. I told him in our first conversation that I loved honesty and told him about me before he could tell me much. His reply was "I honestly don't care about that. I am interested in ones personallity more than anything else." We have been going steady now for about a month.

Back to the subject at hand. As I don't know much at all about your interests I can't tell you much. All I can tell you is if you feel it is wrong then don't. Just be honest to him about what you want and what you don't want from a relationship. That would be my thoughts. I wish you luck.

Huggs,

Kristal

PS Please don't feel embaressed. You have friends here that are willing to help f you need it.

Personally I would have stopped talking to him after those first few lines. The things he said raised some major red flags in my mind. He might have some redeeming qualities, but if you feel like it's wrong or aren't happy with it, get out; even if it's painful. It's better to be lonely and happy than with someone and miserable.

Hi Amanda,

You should have told him firmly from the first that you weren't interested. Each day that you let this situation continue, it will only get worse and could eventually get out of hand. If you're truly not interested, better end it now. Good luck.

I don't think he was respectful, and it sounded like he was sexually harassing you. It may be tempting to take just any man who comes along because we all feel loneliness during or after transition. My advice is don't settle. How a man behaves in the first few moments of meeting you can foretell how things are going to be with him. We all should overlook minor flaws, but in this case they are not minor because he sees you as an object.

Men can have a hard time dealing with rejection and accepting "No" as an answer from a woman. I would reject him in a subtle way, so he can protect his ego. Embarrassing him severely could make your job a lot harder in the coming months. Perhaps, tell him your old flame is back in town and you're getting back together so you're no longer on the market to date.

Regardless, I would not get involved with a coworker even if he knew and accepted my history. When things go bad, an ex as a coworker can make your job hell.

i agree with elena, this guy sounds like he thinks of you as an object, which isn't right. let him down gently but firmly if that makes any sense. don't embarrass him, that could make your job harder. but just tell him that you're sorry you led him on because you're not looking to get involved with anyone. just a suggestion. anyways, good luck.

Thanks

I have not yet told him that I dont want anything to do with him, but every time he calls me I just ignore him.

At first when he calls me his number came up as Restricted. But just this week he took that off and his number comes up.

the good thing about my phone is that everytime he calls me and leaves me a voice mail, His number is on the recorder, so

when he took off the Restricted I allready knew what his number was.

It has been about a week, and at this point I dont know if I should talk and tell him that it wont work out, or just put it off untell

I am on his job again. I have a feeling it may be soon.

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.

      Personally, I despise the antics of the "swing" states. Double-minded and unstable, shifting every time the wind blows.  OK, so the Lt Governor of Georgia doesn't like Trump.  Small potatoes.... given the 2020 results, nobody counts on Georgia anyways.

      Its midnight here...so, technically morning   I had a really weird evening, and learned something new about politics.  My sister, who is running for public office as our township constable, received a "present" today, left on the hood of her patrol car.  An axe!  Wrapped in a bundle of sticks (dowels?).  The sheriff received one also, and a couple other candidates.  Now, my first thought was it was meant as a threat, and I was freaked out when she told me.  But she wisely identified it as political criticism:   During the 2020 election, a small dissident minority objected to our sheriff, and labeled him "Mussolini."  Apparently the symbol of the F@scist Party came from ancient Rome.  An axe, circled with rods, and the whole bundle was called "fasces" and represented the authority of the state.  Roman officials would have them symbolically carried ahead of them through the city on parade.  Other nations used it too, including the USA.  But since the 1920s, it is mostly associated with a certain political party.  Either I was never taught this in high school, or I didn't notice it.    So, it appears that this election season will have some interesting aspects.  And I have been asked to put gold spray paint on an axe, to make it like a trophy.

      Welcome @Vivelacors!  For myself and many others here it is a similar theme.  But, I can assure it's never too late.  I hope that you will discover that as you explore and connect with more of us on the Forum.    You've already taken the most important first step ... Self-Affirmation.  I am wishing you the best in continuing this process. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      I can remember as a teenager being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and living in the bible belt. It was always a little hard-I think religion is just tricky anyway.    I was referred to a couple of ladies at church by my mum who gave me very good advice.  One has known those who are are trans- and how they approched it.    The other has two people in their life who identify differently. They also gave other ideas to assist me.     I do like ideas though.

      If I am leaving the house I will almost always do makeup.  Not over-the-top but enough to feminize my face (eye shadow, mascara), lipstick, and a light cover of a concealer and foundation. I found my favorite lipsticks are Maybelline.  But the concealer/foundation I 'discovered' in Neutrogena Hydro Boost - Hyaluronic Acid based.  For 'older' gals like me I find it moisturizes and doesn't dry into those annoying fine lines (I have enough of those already).    Hopefully, after facial hair removal I might not feel the need as much.

      I think it just comes down to a lot of people not knowing anything about the lgbtq+ community besides what reactionaries online and on TV say. In my experience, people who have a lot more day-to-day contact with gay and trans people, have lgbtq+ friends or family, coworkers, etc. are a lot more accepting because they know an lgbtq+ person, and know that we aren't anything like what the people on TV say we are.

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.
