Hi all,I am new here just briefly I am a pre op English T/S,I began hormone treatment just over a year ago and it has been the best year of my 43 that I have somehow managed to rack up!--Like a lot of us I took the route of drink and drugs supress my feeligs with disastorous results,however thats a long,complicated story,the fact is today I am clean and sober and have been for nearly 3 years and with the help of following a 12step programe I have been able to accept the fact that as well as being alcoholic that I am also a transsexual,something that I never thought would never happen is happening because I am learning to love myself and I am being true to myself at long long last!!

I would love to hear from anyone so please drop me a line to say hello,as I cant be on my own I need friends.

Hi Rachael,

Enjoy this wonderful site it's full of information, by the way I am also from the UK, and as Mary Ellen says you will find lots of friends here, they are a lovely bunch of amazing people, and all have a different story to tell, and that is what makes this such a fantastic site and the best one around.

Rachael,

Congratulations on your 3 years clean and sober. Our stories are similar, I see...I just hit bottom a bit younger than yourself...im 25 and have 2 years. Yes, finally being clean and clear headed let me realize that I am indeed a transsexual and that I can do something about it and actually be happy in my own skin. WHAT a revelation!!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome. ..and keep coming back.

There are many friends to be had here...and lots of love.

Enjoy Laura's Playground!!!

      That's good, glad things will resolve on their own. 😉

      @awkward-yet-sweet, bummer about the road trip that isn't. Next time!   @KymmieL, good luck with the job hunting, you deserve it.   @Birdie, I'm happy for you that you have a new connection who seems so supportive!   @Ivy, enjoy!   The issue I referred to in my little grizzle the other day looks like it will resolve itself without conflict. Everything is good. 🙂

      One of the reasons that I hesitated to sign up to this forum originally was because I couldn't think of a femme name for myself. That stems from the fact that I wasn't seeking one, and still don't, although lately I have become a bit curious.   My username has geographical and astronomical connections. It is an indigenous word that describes the Southern Cross constellation.

      Again, thank you for these posts @Sally Stone. As a person just embarking on their own exploration, seeing through an eagle’s eye is invaluable. I can understand the desire to compartmentalize. I’m coming out at 47 and have several military affiliated friends. I never served myself but know them via hobbies we share. I’d be nervous about coming out to those whom I didn’t know very well, but some I do know better are openly ‘queer’. Meeting these people definitely challenged my existing stereotypes about the military in a positive way; more regarding those who comprise the services as opposed to stated protocol/mission.

      I had heard a little about this, but not much. Thanks for posting it.

      Can definitely relate. I always have something going on, whether it be painted nails, capris or just ‘a walk’. Just a reminder ‘she’ is there.

      Sounds delish so far. Today I made sourdough bread for the first time. My friend gifted me starter grains she got from etsy which came with a recipe. Giving someone sourdough starter as a gift is like giving a pet as a gift. Kind of a weird thing to do - somehow enriching, but, "here's your gift, more responsibility!" Anywho, it's a 3 day process to make this bread on top of feeding the starter weekly. It definitely needs some tweaking. The bread consistency came out great. Crusty crust and soft inside. But it didn't rise enough despite seeming to be proofed well. And I followed the instructions to make it as sour as possible which I prefer, but it's only mildly sour. I plan to try other recipes and compare. But my cousin who (willingly, lol) took some of my starter told me she recently made pancakes with it which were delicious. So I'll definitely try that soon too.

      Latest good recipe find? Lemme see...  I'm trying to recreate a local family restaurant's refried beans at home.  Right now it's kind of hit or miss (Mostly miss) on coming close to it.  Currently I'm tweaking the ratio of beans, bacon fat and smoked paprika and lime juice.  Current ingredients I've been able to sus out though are: Pinto beans, shredded colby jack cheese, bacon fat, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper flakes, diced onion, garlic and a lil bit of salt.  When I feel comfortable with the exact amounts, I'll update.  ^.^

      I have Church of Scotland roots: my grandfather was a C of S minister.  So quite apart from my general happiness at reading some good news, this particular bit of good news makes me feel especially happy.  Thanks for sharing it, @DeeDee!
