I have been a member of Laura's since February of 2009. What attracted me to Laura's initially was the incredible love and acceptance that Laura's has for so many people.

What kept me here at Laura's is the incredible spirit of humanity that brilliantly shines here. :)

You may not even realize it, but your voices and energy resonate throughout the world.

The spirituality of Laura's is unparalleled. You all contribute to that spirituality.

Because of all of you, Laura's is a very special place.

It is your spirit that gives Laura's that incredible energy and spirituality :)

I thank you all.

Love

Brenda

Incredible love and acceptance: This is what brought me to Laura's. I find that what you say is very true. Each person on this site does give to the spirituality of this site and that makes me happy. To see that each one of us contribute to this amazing site and that our contributions mean something is hard to find in life let alone a website. I am glad to be here and I also thank everyone one of you for being you.

I agree, this site is amazing. Even if I have a truly terrible day(which seems like every other day *sigh*), it's good to know I can come here for comfort. Thank you all for that. :D

This site is something more than just a website on the Internet - they can be cold and heartless - almost like they never had a life.

Here because of all of the vibrant and energetic members so willing to reach out to each other and help any way that we can makes this special.

It is so much more than a website, more like a living organism made up of a lot of individual organisms - like a coral reef - even in the way that members come and go - as one section of the colony dies out (translate to leaves - no one dies here - not on my watch!) it is replaced by a new section and as the skeletal remains increase the size of the healthy new colony - the posts of all of those who have gone before us remain as a foundation for those to come.

Laura's has grown and evolved which is the way of living organisms in the short time that I have been here - it has always been a support site and a suicide prevention site but the friendliness grew out of the members - Laura could hope for that but it is impossible to program in, she selected very good help and they in turn helped her to assemble an amazing group of volunteer moderators in the forums and chat and then it is the members and we are all members, of Laura's and of the human race.

It is a great place to learn, comfort and be comforted, to help and be helped - it is a great pattern for the world - help your fellow man - love your fellow man (someone said that a long time ago and I think we should have listened a little closer).

So thanks to Laura for starting and maintaining this and to all of you for helping to make it special, to make it my home.

I love you all,

Sally

Outside of the four walls that I call home, this is the best home I've ever been.

It is the house that Laura built, and I'm honored, privileged and happy that she allows me to spend part of my day here, with all you

beautiful souls to keep me company. :)

Love

Sally,

What you say resonates as true. One more thing I would add is Laura's has a healing power that I've never seen on the net before, not that there isn't other place. There is truly something magical here that changes lives. Plus it seems to draw good people in. I know it's had a big impact on me and my life will never be the same as before I found LP. You learn so much here.

Love Susan

Brenda, what we have found here at Laura's is unconditional love. We are all healthier, happier and better people for what we have received here from each other. Nothing has meant more to me as a person who is transitioning to be the woman she aspires to be than all of you here.

Hugs, Ricka

Brenda,

Thank you for saying so eloquently what makes Laura's so special to so many of us. I would feel so very alone in all of this without this wonderful place.

luv

Gin

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
