Welcome to Laura's Marissa. How about telling us a little about yourself. As you can see your test worked. I hope to see more from you.

Hello Sarah and Lizzie,

Nice to meet you both. I've been here before but not often and not for long. It's a long story and I'll share that with you as we get to know each other.

I'm 62 years old and I've been battling my "T" side all my life. One reason I'm here is to hopefully begin to accept myself for who I am. I came out to my wife Nancy about 6 years ago. She had no clue for 34 years. I had planned not to tell her. In 2001 I had a breakdown and just told her one day. To my surprise she has been supportive from the beginning. I've been battling depression all my life, and especially the past few years. Oh, I have so much to tell you but that's a very, very brief intro. You can call me Marissa or Rissa. I am so looking forward to being here and getting to know you all.

Much Love,

Rissa

Hi, Baby...

Welcome back...

I first saw this "Test Account" and I though that one of the Admins were doing something...lol

I didn't respond because I thought they'd pull it...but, it was you!

Well, you and I have a little history here and I'm so happy that you've returned...

All better now!

LOVE

More about me. My male side could be considered imposing. Not a lot of emotion. Practical. No nonsense, but a dry sense of humor. I've been told many times I tend to intimidate people with my demeanor. This is not intentional. Politically, I'm conservative. I was a minister for over 20 years. A very fundamental Bible thumper. I have changed 180 degrees. I have had a crisis of faith and consider myself now to be an agnostic.

My female side. Marissa was suppressed for half a century. She was allowed to exist for a few years during 2002-2003. I was part of an online group and it is where Marissa got her name and identity. I had to leave the group. Marissa went back in her box. Laura's has re-opened the box. Marissa is very different from her male counterpart. She is warm, affectionate and very loving almost to the point of being a little over the top. Bear with her. She's been in her box for half a century. She is thrilled to be a girl and act girly. Kind of like a little kid in a candy shop. I (Joel) find her to be very refreshing actually. She hasn't had time to become jaded or cynical. She's naive. She wants to learn and she will go out of her way to make friends, be accepted and liked. So if her verbal displays of affection make you feel uncomfortable, she doesn't mean to. She can seem almost polyannish, and sometimes precosious. She is, in a word, the complete antithesis of Joel. She wants you to know she is beyond thrilled and happy to be here. She wants to live outside of her box. I think she deserves to.

Sincerely,

Joel

Much Love and big huggs,

Rissa

See?

Thank you Sarah. I'm glad to disclose highly personal information here. I feel comfortable. Rissa is delighted to be here and she doesn't know what to do or say first!! It's been pent up for so long she might go a little bonkers. :)

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

      Unfortunately Oklahoma is about as bad as Texas but definitely not as bad as Florida. Especially as a minor! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history. 
    • Ashley0616
      I followed you and will give you my advice when I can. It has happened to me a lot too. If you want to you can always message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. I understand your concerns.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.
