Today I called a very dear friend on mine and told him what is going on for me. He is a very devote christian and I was really concerned on how he might react but I had to tell someone to make it real. His reaction was fabulous. He told that he loved me and would always feel that way, that chist loved me too. His biggest concern was for my well being and he cautioned me that I am in a very vulerable position right now and that there are many people who may want to push me in one direction or another and that I have to be really careful not to allow myself to be pushed.

I had expected rejection and I got love ...

Now, that is wonderful news to hear, Sharah.

Good for you, girl. You are lucky to have such an understanding and supportive friend.

Isn't acceptance a fantastic feeling?

Acceptance is the ultimate....

It's beautiful...

And he is correct...don't be swayed one way or the other to do or not to do....

This is the reason that we see a therapist...to figure out if, in fact, we really are Trans and need to go as far as transitioning...you've heard lots of wonderful people here tell you of their transition, and that's all well and good...

But, that was after they found out that they were Transsexual and needed to change...

No, don't be swayed...

Do your legwork...

That's a great post, Honey....

That's wonderful Sharah I'm very happy for you.

It's kind of odd that people frequently say something about not being talked into this by others. I think wanting someone to be trans-or to fit any predetermined place on the gender spectrum -would be the last thing any of us would want for someone. It's the reason we stress seeing a gender therapist. But I wonder why people thing it in the first place. It isn't like this is a club and we're looking to get more members

iyou wouldn't think Christians would accept trans people, but I find that not the case. Many love you for who you are and don't judge. Those follow what christianity teaches.

I am very happy Sharah that your close friend was so accepting.

      On the record. Enough said.

      I figured this would be the outcome.  Trial was held in New York.  For anybody who thought a Republican would EVER be found not guilty in that state....I've got some oceanfront property in Kansas.  This was no surprise, and jailing him won't be a surprise either.  This is entirely political, and Trump was "USDA A-Grade Stupid" not to see this way ahead of time.  If he was smart, he should have taken his money and his wife to a nice non-extradition country immediately after the inauguration in 2021.  Its what happens in banana republics when one dictator gets swapped for another.

      Hello, lifelong gender dysphoria but now out going on 3 months. So far so good.

      By KayC · Posted

      Nice to meet you @Mwm684 and Welcome! Congratulations on your decision to finally start living as your True Self.  It also took me (and others here too) many years to finally make that same commitment.  I am also happy you have support of your spouse and those around you.  That's very important. I am sure you will feel the positive effects of HRT once you are able to start (it can sometimes take a couple of months to really 'feel it' though).  I think you will find this Forum and Community very beneficial in your Journey.  Wishing you all the best!   Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It's Justice served ... but unfortunately in the Politics of America nowadays justice has also become politicized.  But still Happy with the verdict.

      Are you able to deal (express) with your emotions or do you block them?

      I am happy to finally give myself ALL of the emotional space I need ... sometimes I don't even need a reason

      Proposal To Limit Trans Youth Rights In CA Fails To Qualify for Ballot

      By KayC · Posted

      California comes through again..  Proud to be a native.  But even here there is an undertone of intolerance that is both just under the surface or geographically prevalent.  We just need to stay on guard ... and stay Visible.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Delcina B · Posted

      Welcome @Nonexistent! Glad you're here (I'm a bit late on the welcoming committee, ladies are allowed to be fashionably late right?).   Not presenting as the gender in my head & having others validate that when they misgender me sucks. But a fact I had to face a few months ago & am working on today is I'm a transgender woman, not cis. The chances of me passing all the time every time are slim. Sometimes it happen & feels really good when it does. I appreciate those people who acknowledge my femininity whether they're just being nice, or they see the woman inside.     Everyday now & as often as needed throughout the day I say to myself, "I'm a transgender woman, I didn't make me this way, today I will love & embrace myself just as I am, I will not be ashamed." I find it helps me be comfortable with who I am, just as I am. I'm still working on me, becoming the best transgender woman I can. I'm finding it easier to let go of what others might think.    I'm not sure about Texas I haven't been there since beginning my transition, but I was living in Florida since I began just over three years ago & politically it's not much different. I've been here in RI about a month & I honestly don't see a big difference in how people see, treat, or gender me here to how they did in FL.    I hope you find the wonderful advice,support, & acceptance here as I have.   Hugs!

      I was fairly surprised that the verdict came so quickly, but I guess the evidence was much more persuasive and overwhelming than we were led to believe.  What's disheartening, but not unexpected, is how fast some "leaders" have rushed to discredit the jury and everyone involved in the process.  The jurors, who spent 5 weeks of their time sitting in that courtroom, deserved better than that.  But those "leaders" I mentioned are just following the lead of their "Fearless Leader" in discrediting everything that doesn't go their way.   Carolyn Marie

      Welcome! Glad you're here! So happy for you having your wife's support as well as her family & at work! You might look for a transgender support group or PFLAG in your area. I found them very helpful, especially as I began my social transition & going out into the world.   Hugs! Delcina

      Welcome to Tran Pulse, @Mwm684.  It would be helpful, but not required, if you could give us a name of some kind that is less awkward than what we currently have.   Glad to hear that things at home and at work are going well for you.  I hope that continues.  Please let us know how we may be of service.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Happy Birthday Charlize! You know having met in person I think you may be stretching the truth a bit just to get senior discounts. I would have to say not more than a day over 29. Thank you for sharing this, our journeys intertwine in such a wonderfully delightful way.   Hugs! Delcina
