Blog #1

Well this will be the 5th or 6th blog posting that I have posted…. Starting to get the hang of this, but it’s still hard to think of things to say. I will just start then, and the topics that are going to be discussed will be “disturbing” to some…..

I have been on a sort of personal journey and it all involves that which is myself, my body, my spirituality, and my religion. All of which are conflicting with themselves, and being married is the icing on the cake –so to speak-. Ok this journey is going to go back in time, so you get an understanding of what I’m trying to ask. Growing up I had a rather interesting childhood, which involved a lot of self discovery. I have always known that there has been a greater force in the universe, but didn’t know its name. I have always been alone, so having conversations with the universe was common. Later in getting to know the truth, I learned that after all that I was having conversations with Jehovah. And that is where the journey begins…..

I got involved with the truth when a friend of ours had passed, and I went to the service. It was so inspiring to see the people there using the bible and actually following along. Now were 3 yrs from then, and I have been to one convention and several circuit assemblies. Now I have to combine my past with what I have learned now. I have been a rather free spirit in life; doing what I wanted when I wanted, that included my sexual past as well. This is where it gets graphic, I explained I did a lot of self discovery…… well I performed things on myself that would be called sadistic. Plus I have always had a fascination with women, and their clothing and or products. I went as far as to where panty hose to school, but had to take them off when I realised we had gym that afternoon.

Ever since then I have pushed the feelings to the side, (not out). I had the opportunity to get some clothes for Halloween, and ever since then I had a box for makeup and the clothes I had. Every now and again living on my own, I would either watch “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” or “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar”. I would get dressed up and watch them, and often go to bed with clothes on. When I moved to another town, I thought that this would be my chance to spread my dress. Sadly I didn’t, and before I knew it I was back in my hometown. The reason I had come back was that I had been laid off, and I had gotten into a relationship with a good friend (now wife).

Now here i am in a marriage 2yrs and she's wondering what to do about it all. i'm still going to live my life as i will but at the mean time be the husband she needs, then figure something out later.

well that's a story of sorts and will probably get into more details later.........

      https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/russian-poetry-competition-bans-transgender-applicants/     Everyone in Russia knows that Putin hates LGBT people, so every segment of society gets on board with the Leader's viewpoint, or they risk his wrath.  Sounds a lot like Florida, doesn't it?   Carolyn Marie

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
