Karen...

Somehow talking all confident and stuff and throwing up dosen't go together....

Listen, Hon....it's all gonna be just fine....OK?

HUGGS!

Donna Jean

I'm gonna try to look at the positives. I was out with my parents and wife today, the first three I'm coming out to, and I was able to eat like half a salad. If this keeps up it will be a great jumpstart to my diet.

Just to let you know, I have a soon to be 4 year old, 15 month old and 3 month old. It is not easy making the decision I made considering their ages but I could no longer go on like this.

I have a 6 and a 2 yo. Both boys that Im supposed to teach how to be men I keep being told. Well they better have a book on that one. I'm prob slightly better than the 6yo at playing catch right now.

I have this fear Im going to come out to my wife and she's going to try to take my kids away. I don't think she's that kinda person but it's in the back of my mind.

I had the same fear but if we continue to allow our fears run our lives than we will never truly be happy. We may be happy on the outside but on the inside is a different question because we will always wonder what if.

A warm welcome to Laura's and to our family here, Karen. Two things about transitioning: there is no way to predict the future when it comes to relationships, especially marriages that will endure and those that will not. That is the scary part. And yes there are difficulties along the way---and unexpected twists and turns in our individual journeys. But there is also great joy along the way. The joy of experiencing ourselves blossom and become the people we had always wished we could be. The joy of being ourselves and the joy of experiencing ourselves in the gender we were meant to be and no longer struggling to be who we were never meant to be. Look for the joy, Sweetie and you will find it.

Hugs, Ricka

I want you to know that I understand that. I have an almost-1-year-old myself. Luckily, that's as far as he's gotten before I have fully transitioned.

Still, I'm going to teach him tolerance as the most important thing.

Now, I know that I'm young and that I've no right to give parenting advice, but it might not be too late to begin teaching tolerance before your coming out.

Food for thought.

LOVE YOU

Belle

      I think the interpretation of the question is always going to provide a wide array of answers. Do I have a rich inner life? Yes! Why? Good question!   Circumstances often dictate how we feel within ourselves. I don't have to deal with work anymore and we've been jus' cruzin ever since. I don't have to fix anything, literal or otherwise. My wife and I live a relatively simple life and we are true partners, but deep inside, I'm not answerable to anyone except myself. So, how's that going? Well, since I came out to myself, which happened before I stopped working, I have felt an inner glow that was never apparent before. It is permanent now and it sustains me. How? Effed if I know! All I know is that even if I have down days, and there certainly have been a few, my heart, mind and soul are still smiling. I think it comes from a realization that I am finally happy just to be me.

      I had to look this acronym up.  That certainly has never been part of the LGBTQ community!  Politicians simply attempt to use peoples disgust to create the hate or fear they can "fight" against to win support and power.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Congrats, @April Marie on your new fur kid. As the mom to a 1 yr old fur kid. I know what you are going through. LOL.   Back to work after a good weekend. I hope that work doesn't drag my good weekend down. However, I believe it is wishful thinking. I will do the best that I can, if that is not enough. They can jump in a fing lake.   I have another week until my therapist appointment. So I hope I can make it. it seems my depression is getting worse. Can it, is there something lower that major?  Especially when dealing with work. So, I know I have to get out of there. I have put in for the parts at the local GM. Probably, be like Ford. OH, well nothing ventured nothing gained.      Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs, Kymmie

      If what you mean by defemination  is that folks are doubting or refusing to believe your feminity i'm sure others here have felt that.  I know i have in the past.  It seems to be part of the continuous attempt by some to see us all quietly hiding in the closet.   I don't fit in there anymore.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Yay!!! 😀 What's her name?
    • Mirrabooka
      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.

      Good morning, everyone!   Sorry I've been absent so much. I truly miss the interaction with you all.    We have a new yellow Lab female puppy in the house as of Saturday so it's a challenge to find time to be here as we get her settled into a schedule, work on housebreaking and training, etc.    So, I'll check in as I can...when I can get a few minutes as she sleeps.   She slept 6 hours last night so we're making progress and we've been attentive to her schedule so no accidents in the house as of now.   She's consistently following the Sit command already - the wonder of puppy treats.    Be safe!!
    • April Marie
      New puppy. New schedule for now.

      Yeah, it is a real treat trying to combat the effects of an unwanted male puberty, or unwanted female puberty. Who will supply these kids with funding when they try to transition as adults? Insurance companies do everything they can to weasel out of paying for facial surgery, voice/speech therapy/voice surgery, and electrolysis. Not to mention the pain we all go through with these procedures that we may not have to endure as much with proper care at an early age. I cringe at what the next trans generations are going to face. The governor and his ilk, are typical of these super-majority R led states. Unless there is a huge change in the next 6 months, I am fearful of where things are heading. I feel like more bad stuff will unfold. I do not think they are done crucifying us.

      Feels like I'm walking on eggshells, when I'm the nicest, kindest hearted person anyone would hang out with.

      Cool. We had none in Boston, but my sister-in-law took this on an island near Seattle,

      Good morning    Work day today, no pool time, and no dress.  Just a uniform top and slacks.   Thank you for asking about my wife, @Ashley0616 , she is improving all the time and getting anxious to be rid of the med vac.  She keeps telling people a couple mor weeks be even with the speed at which she is recovering, I think that is more wishful than reality.   i received both compliments about my dress as well as my ability to speak before the congregation.  My little frog was right there with me but then he is a permanent resident in my voice.  Some days worse than others and I never know until I start speaking.  Maybe I need a frog exorcism.  Oh our church doesn’t do that.  Shucks.   well the humidity is coming back today along with possible rain and warmer weather.   I guess a lot of you are getting hit with smoke from Canada again this year. I recall last year you could see and smell it here.  It a shame to loose so many trees when we need them for climate control.  I was surprised to learn the South Carolina was the largest producer of wood in the states. We have a great deal of wet and swamp land that the plant and harvest and plant again.  While some makes it to the mills to become construction material, mose goes to one of several paper mills.  Those trees are clear cut and trucked to the mills to be cleaned mulched and processed along with recycled paper.the closest mill to here makes brown board which become packaging material like corrugated cardboard.   i guess we have rather ideal conditions for southern pine tree growing.  That along with cotton, rice indigo, tobacco and cash food crops fruits and vegitables and pecans, can’t forget the nuts.  You can take that more than one way and be right.   enjoy you day whether at work or at play.   Willow
