Guest Blaine

Hello, everyone. My name is Blaine (My female name is Ashley, so you can call me Just Ash if you want), I'm a FtM. I'm 21 years of age and I have sandy, short, blonde hair, blue eyes, glasses, and I live way back in the sticks; in the middle of nowhere. ^_^

interests: sketching, painting, video games, hiking, animals (dogs, fish, horse), comic books (japenese and american), books

personality: Umm... I cannot discribe this is i wanted to.

I've known I was different since i was seven years old. I've been in denile for many years. I started calling myself a gay man in a women's body. I like men and women, but I am very picky. Because I want to be a man I never had much of a relationship with anyone. I don't like my body the way it is. It disgusts me to a point where i can't stand to go out in public or look at myself much. Sometimes I feel if I can cut ( i don't actually cut) the female from me I would be all right, but the female is apart of me. If i get rid of her the male will be a lone. My two halves as i call them have accepted the fact that they will never be happy unless we have a male body. I know i would be happy as a man. I want to be one so bad, i often cry myself to sleep at night. I've lived so long with these feelings of disgust towards what i look like and the discomfort of being female. My male side wants out and my female side is more than happy to hand the body over. I guess i sound crazy to you guys. But you know living you life in the background and staying away from people for what you are kind of makes you antisocial. I talk to myself a lot. I can carry on whole conversations with myself. >_> I guess I am a little crazy. I don't care though, i just want to feel RIGHT about myself. Am i making any sense?

I never liked dresses. I always wanted to play in the dirt and rough house with my brother. I hated doing the things girls were suppose to do. My mom would get me Barbie dolls and i would shave their heads, burn them or let my dogs chew them up. When i was little there was this one teacher who always made me play House and dress up. I hated her. i asked her everyday if i could play with the boys stuff. She said, 'no, girls are suppose to play house and with dolls. your a girl and you are going to play with what i say you play with.' She never let me play with the other boys. I wanted to play with the blocks and testicles. I will dispise that woman until the day i die.

At home, I wrestled with my brother all the time. We always picked on one another. And to tell you the truth I never hung out with any particular sex. Male or female, it doesn't matter to me. I have an equal amount of both sexes as friends, but only a few know I'm a FtM. I'm afraid the others won't understand. I told my parents about myself a few days ago. They took it all right. Mom wants to feminize me. I don't like makeup or girlly cloths. I have been looking for a website like this for awhile so i can make some friends that are like me. Living out in the bonnies as i do, there aren't many people like myself nor people who would understand. If I am not careful about myself here, I could be flogged by other people. You know the hate stuff that goes on. I get enough of it at work. I haven't started a transition yet because the nearest psychiatrist is 2 hours away in Lexington. And I only have time to go on the weekends. I still need to choose which doctor i want to go to. ^_^ I appologize, I'm giving you guys my life story.

If you guys would not mind. I would appreciate it if you would give me some feedback on how it is to transition. what will i expect once i can get help? I also would like some friends, if that's at all possible. Some support would be nice too.

Hi Blaine, I know we are chatting in more detail in another thread but I did want to welcome you again to the site. Also wanted to tell you, I like your choice of name. My grandfather’s name was Blaine and it has always reminded me of very distinguished, charismatic gentleman. I don’t know if that’s the image you are going for, but names say a lot and that is what I think about with regard to the name Blaine. :) Very glad you are here.

Hey, Blaine, welcome to Laura's! I am not usually a hugging-type of person, but, hey... *hug* Welcome.

I recommend heading over to the FTM board, reading the posts at the top and the archived postings-- the guys have SO much excellent information, and we would love to see you over there.

I see we have a few similarities-- I am in my early/mid-20s, and I also am in a fairly rural area, so between that and a religious/conservative family and a skeptical partner, I have not started T yet. (But, on a personal note, I think my joining Laura's is part of my transition, so it can help if you do not limit 'transition' to just chemical and medical.) I think your story makes a lot of sense-- I also feel that everyone has all genders and sexes inside of them, and that while there is a 'female' part of me, there is so much more man, and the tension of living as a female-bodied man is outrageous at times. Have you ever heard the song "Half Jack" by the Dresden Dolls? It is not quite exactly what we are talking about, but it (even just the lyrics) might be very helpful (it is for me)...

So, welcome! PM me if you ever need to talk, or if you ever want to begin a conversation!

It's a pleasure to talk with you. I probably would not remember what I am talking about other threads. I forget to easy. That was the image I was going for. I like to be polite as I possibly can be, I use big words and fancy speech when I can remember to, and I just like being kind to others. Say good morning to them everyday, hold open doors, give presents at random times, treat people to dinner. I'm to polite. But thank you for liking my name. I have had that name for years now.

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.

      I have the Pierre by New York Toy Collective, I think I bought it from a different online store but it is that brand. The size recommendations will say that the four-inch shaft (the small Pierre) is for people 5' tall and under. I am 5'8" and it is fine for me. The larger (regular) Pierre shaft size is way too big to wear regularly, but it is a great packer to have around for gender affirming play at home. So even if you are taller than 5', if you aren't sure and you want something easy to wear, go with the small. It is a silicone packer.

      Yes, resilient, for sure.  Ours were elementary/middle school age when their father died.  The girl took it really hard, losing her father.  My husband has been there as friend, counselor, and stepfather.  He was a dear friend of their father, and he has put in a lot of effort to raise them.  The eldest son is now his secretary, aide, and driver at work.   Since I'm young-ish and not their primary parent(s), I have the role of being an older friend to them.  They don't seem to have any issues with my gender.  I'm just Jen, and everybody knows that Jen is a little different.

      If you're looking for a millennial female who might be interested, maybe contact Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Y'all might have some things in common, and I think she and her partner are doing the "childless" thing.      Interesting that your wife did concrete work.  My GF spent some time laying concrete for her own projects....while 6 months pregnant.   She's a very stubborn girl.  Probably the exact opposite of the millennial female you're looking for, since she's a mother of 5 (and wished she could have more.)  Interesting how folks can have similar origins, but come to opposite conclusions.  My GF grew up in dire poverty, stealing to eat and take care of her little sister.  As a young adult, she spent several years living in a commune, and was a member of an armed communist political movement.  Now she's probably the most fervent anti-leftist, anti-government person you could ever find.  Experiences really shape who we are.    The lesson I draw from this is that globalism is not the right solution, and even the USA is too large a nation for everybody to agree.  Time to downsize voluntarily, before a civil war does it for us.  Some folks suggest that the USA could become between 4 and 7 different nations.  The way the world is going, I suspect you'll get your "depopulation" wish....but it will come about through war, plagues, and famine.

      I made apple pies, since we have apple trees here.  A classic, simple recipe, everything made from scratch.  We can make just about any kind of pie here - pecan, apple, pear, peach, blackberry....    I think the 6-burner stove came from an old diner.  So, technically a restaurant stove, just a small one.  It probably came from an auction, as my partner usually has an eye for deals.    This stove has 8 burners:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-48-in-4-32-cu-ft-2-26-cu-ft-Steam-cleaning-Double-Oven-Convection-Gas-Range-Stainless-steel/1003096398?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-1003096398-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYASABEgI9tvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds   This one is the one I would love to have...it has 10:   https://www.lowes.com/pd/FORNO-Galiano-Gold-Professional-60-inch-Freestanding-Gas-Range/5013821825?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-PLA_APP_186_Cooking-_-5013821825-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286890&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj86BiPj3hQMVeTbUAR2m5wexEAQYDSABEgIt__D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      Not to bump this up or anything, but I just want to put one more note on the end of this...   Thank you for allowing me to post this here and thank you for all who have responded.  This step has been a huge help to me on my political journey.  I've made several key decisions in the last few days that allow me to run a better campaign for the next 4 years.  I worked my way off of the streets 20 years ago by writing math and computer programming on paper.  10 years later I was able to buy a house with the software engineering work that I was doing.  Now 20 years after getting off of the streets and having two failed bids for US Representative and likely another failed bid in the next couple weeks, I've come to the point of selling my house to run a very frugal campaign for vice-president (it's a thing even though it is an appointed position) for the next 4 years, all on the money I have earned from that work I did on the streets.   My policy going forward is that I'm not going to ask for money and I'm not going to ask for people's votes.  The vice-presidency is an appointed position.  I'm also not going to run for legislative offices anymore.  I'm simply going to tour the country on my own dime looking for good people and a strong millennial female who sees my logic and would like to be president.   I have reached out to tens of thousands of people on my own dime in the last 7 years.  Famous people, ultra-famous people, business leaders, civil engineers, random people, news people, educators, unions, politicians.  I certainly got less than 5 emails from those efforts.  Actually, I only really remember one person.  He is an educator and we had a good Zoom meeting.   I'm not bitter.  I'm not complaining.  Those of you who have followed me on this site know I like to keep things positive and talk about cooking and living healthy.  I hope that this post doesn't get buried.  I think the title is strong and my message is clear.  I don't want to bog this site down with the details of the whole thing.  I simply want people to know that there is a transwoman working to be vice-president.  Notice that I didn't title this a-transwoman-as-us-respresentative.  My politics are executive level.  I'm a whistleblower, not a complainer.  I aim to educate and inspire.

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not.

      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.

      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.
