Guest Chloe_42

Hello. My name is Chloe. Now to try and introduce myself.

As far as "How long have I know?", I don't remember not knowing that I was a woman/girl. Long before I had a name for it, I knew I was transsexual.

I grew up in a Mormon Household in the very progressive and open minded state of Alabama :banghead: so I have spent my entire life hiding who I was. I had pretty much convinced myself that I could move on and never act on it, when I met a couple of friends who have helped me more than they will know. So, I have finally come out of the closet (somewhat) to them and really to myself. (One of them actually approached me about it, which led to the discussion of how I really straw inhaler at hiding it, and should just embrace it.) So, I have only recently made the decision to start this transition, but I am elated, and in better spirits than I have been in a long time. I can't wait!!

Basics:

I'm 24. (The 42 in my name isn't an age. It is the answer to Life, the Universe, and everything. It is a send-up to my true geekyness) MtF.

So, I look forward to getting to better know this community, as what I have seen so far is very encouraging and supportive.

Hello Chloe,

Welcome to Laura's Playground and thank you for sharing with us. Good luck on your journey toward becoming the girl you always knew you were. It will be a long journey and the road won't always be smooth but we all have every confidence that you can make it. Good luck. :)

Hi Chloe,

I'm new here, but I want to jump in and be friendly so Hello to you.

Also, I have a question about the phrase "straw inhaler" that you used. I have seen this before, but I don't understand it. Could you explain what it means?

It's a word filter issue. It's like what you do when you use a straw and inhale....

Hey Chloe! I'm Blake.

And... haha! YES! Another Douglas Adams fan! The world needs more of those!! xDDD Have you read all the books, or have you just seen the movie, or the old TV show...? I didn't like the new movie, to be honest >_> I mean, it followed the books OK, but... I didn't like it :/ I thought they messed up Ford and Trillian's characters.

Ahahaha, yeah, you're not the only geek on here, I'm sure you can tell xDDDD

In any case, good to hear your happier! Discovering yourself is great sometimes, isn't it? Sorry about the area you grew up in. >> That's tough, I hope you get into a better enviroment soon, if you're not already in one.

Anyways, ttyl,

Blake,

I have read all the books, seen the old tv show, listened to the original radio show, and spent years waiting on the movie to finally be finished, only to be slightly disappointed.

Of course, you have to look at the collection of works, and realize that every incarnation is slightly different, so can't be too upset.

Hi Chloe! Welcome to the forums!

Did you know that the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) has 42 decks? The Trekkies/Trekkers love Douglas Adams too! I'm a die-hard Trek fan, so I guess that makes me a nerd too. I've read Hitchhikers Guide and seen both the BBC mini-series and the movie. Time is scares right now, but I'm hoping to get to read some of Douglas Adams other stuff. Feel free to send recommendations my way!

:P

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.
