Hello world! While I am way not close to coming out to the rest of the world, I have finally come out to myself and then to our blessed moderator. Now I am happy to introduce myself to members of this site. My name is Misha. I am a MtF. This fact has haunted me since childhood. Many years later, I am trying to come to grips with it. I will need your help. I am planning to see a gender therapist in the near future and looking forward to it. I am who I am and who god made me, right? And btw, I am a pretty good person and only getting better! Regards, all, Misha.

Hello Misha,

Won't you come in and have a seat, get comfortable and do look over the forum rules - there is a link on the top of just about every page.

Now I'll be right back with a cup of hot cocoa and some fresh baked cookies.

I am glad that you are coming to terms with all of this and doing things the right way, a therapist is a must.

Welcome to the forums and your new family, I am so glad that you have found us.

Love ya,

Sally

Misha,

Hi Misha,

Welcome. You picked a good place when you came here to Laura's.

And don't be scared by who you are. It took me a very long time to finally know that I could just be fine with my self and to quit denying. What is so strange is that I didn't really know ME and that is finally all opening up...

Here you can relax. And get to know more about what your possibilities are.

Welcome to Laura's :)

Thanks, Alex. I think that Blitzen is an American way of saying "lightning dog" in German. What a cool image. I love it. Misha.

Vanna,

Thank you for the kind words of guidance and for the advice. I will start attending soon. I have a therapist meeting tomorrow and I am nervous about it. I am writing this wearing some really pretty briefs, bra, hose and girlish shorts with a tomboy shirt and baseball hat. You know what? It feels like me! I just need to figure out how to tap this external rightness with internal and figure out how to fit this crazy square peg into the round hole. I know I will need your help but am very optimistic. Hugs, Misha

Huggs,

Wow, Emily. Never a Marine but boy should we talk. SF. And thank you. Isn't this crazy? Definitely the bravest (non-stupid) thing I have ever done. And I have been places and done things.

My admiration and thanks, Misha.

Janica,

Saying it to myself for the first time was like a tidal wave. And I still want to sneak back out. But as I think back on the last long time I see it slapping me in the face over and over for years. Time to man, or more appropriately, "woman" up. I do feel some peace. Thank you, Misha

      I am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      It's a sign!

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷
