Not really sure what to say about myself because I hardly know who I am anymore. This is the first time that I am actually speaking of me being transgendered and I haven't had the best social life, so it is difficult for me to talk about it and I might leave some things out or be vague at times.

I am an 18 year old MT? (Well technically I am only 4 1/2 because I was born on leap year). Looking back, I have always been a little... different, even though I didn't realize it at the time. I was too young to understand the differences in gender roles. To my parents, it was just a phase, and as far as they know, I grew out of it a long time ago. But truth be told, I just got smarter and learned to hide it from the world. And since then, I have not spoken a word of it to anyone.

Why have I kept this to myself? For a lot of reasons, the main one being that I am not even sure if I trully am transgendered. All my life, I've been searching for answers, which led me to this website. I was googling for information a few years back when I came across this very helpfull site. I only just recently however discovered a seperate forum for people looking for help on trying to identify which groop they belong to, which finally made me want to become a member. I do realize the only way to find out for sure which group you belong to is to see a therapist, but I wanted to first see if I even had a problem; but I'm saving that discussion for that forum.

In short, I'm excited to be here, hoping I might find some answers and lift some of my depression through talking.

P.S. This is probably the most I have said at one time in my entire life.

I always like to welcome people, especially the shy ones to the forums by offering them a cup of hot cocoa and some fresh from the oven cookies - it just seems more friendly to say hi with a snack.

So come on and have a seat, I want you to hold the cup in both hands, now hold it close to your lips, just under your nose - do you feel the warmth?

That warmth is not coming from the cocoa, it is coming from all of the loving and caring people here to support you.

You are now a part of our wonderful family - Welcome.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi,

<<hug>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

We all look forward to seeing you.

Hi Hon---a warm welcome to Laura's. At 18 gender identity and sexual preference are not yet fully developed for many of us and for cismales it can take a little longer, so Hon, there is nothing abnormal that at this age you are on a journey of discovery about your gender identity. The wonderful thing about Laura's is that this is a place to belong, regardless of where your journey takes you. All of us here find ourselves outside the norm, whatever that is. We are all a family here, accepting, non-judgmental, and most of all caring.

Hugs, Ricka

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By VickySGV · Posted

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

      This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone.  It is a no-brainer.

      OMG.  I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly.  Lots of blood can be scary.

      Like I said, I'm no tankie, but I do see a world of difference between Joseph Stalin and Bernie Sanders.   If the point is not wanting 'government control' the Right is pretty good at that themselves - as they've been demonstrating lately. This stuff gets complicated.

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      By Jet McCartney · Posted

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!
