I have not posted in a while, although I have been here reading topics, so I thought I would give an update on my life. I am now living alone for about five weeks now. I am still married but only see my wife when I go home to do yardwork on the weekends. I have much more time to be the real me now. Life ain't all bad. I have my first appointment with my gender therapist this Friday at 11 AM. Its about a three and half hour drive but I have nothing better to do. I feel like now the ball will get rolling. Life gets lonely sometimes when your on your own as I am sure many of you know, but it also can be very intresting as well. I went to the grocery store yesterday with no make up on and still got mamed twice. I guess my long hair, earrings, clothes are working. I think the guys were probably just not paying attention. It still felt nice. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing my GT for the first time Friday, that should be intresting. Wish I have started sooner, but the wife was in the way.

Hugs,

Daphene

Daphene, Honey....

I'm glad that you finally got the ball rolling. I know that it's hard living alone, but, sometimes you can feel alone living with someone....

I'm wishing you the best, Sweetheart...

You seem to be in a very good place - and on your way. I am sure living by yourself will get a bit easier. And getting in touch with us at Laura's is a good way to help prevent loneliness.

It is nice to be rcognized for what you are - you don't need makeup - maybe a touch of lipstick, like natal women sometimes do when casually shopping - just be yourself.

Keep us up to date!

Daphene I am happy and sad for you at the same time.

I am happy you are able to be yourself and about to start seeing a GT.

I am sad that you had to move out to do this.

I hope things get better for you.

Daphene, I know its been hard on you lately, and I'm sorry things didn't work out with your wife. But you seem intent on looking at the bright side of things, and that's great.

Good luck on your therapy session, hon. Let us know how it turns out.

You've really moved quite a ways along this path to womanhood. I wish you a safe and happy journey.

Well, Friday will be the key to open your eyes to it all...

That's when you begin to really start to understand and accept yourself....

God luck, Honey....

You'll love it...

Hi Daphene,

I imagine that after your session you will feel better than you have in a long time, yet at the same time be pondering some questions brought up. Wish you the best on this.

That is really nice that you are getting mamed without makeup!

Huggs,

Opal

Hi Daphene, :)

I always consider going to a GT the start of the physical transition because the GT is the one who is the gatekeeper to HRT. I want to hear about your experience after your visit.

Love Jenny

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By EasyE · Posted

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either
