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

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I don't know what I'd call this

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
