I Was Wondering...a Little Help?

I was wondering if there were any transmen in Virginia.

I personally don't know any but I am really eager to make friends that understand more about this all because mine don't. I'm just a bit...well...really confused about wanting to be a real boy and, I just want someone nearby that I could talk to. : /

It is understandable to want someone to talk to Mel. I can definitely relate to that feeling. Have you looked around for a gender therapist? Sometimes they will have contacts for support groups and other transgender organizations or people you can talk to. Im not in Virginia either..sorry. But if youre looking for a place to connect with some transmen in other places, youve definitely found a resource in Laura's Playground.

Also.. the Southern Comfort Conference is coming up in October..if you can come down to Atlanta you can find support AND fun down here at the conference. Just a thought.. and a shameless plug for an event I plan on attending. ;)

Hi Mel:

Have you tried contacting a trans group around your area? Usually there's one somewhere. You might want to start by contacting your nearest LGBT community.

Hope this helps.

Hey Mel,

I checked out the meetings page on the FTM International webpage (http://www.ftmi.org/). Here's the only group I found for Virginia on there:

TG Support Group 142 W. York St. #815, Norfolk VA 23510. Maggie Chubb. LCSW: 757-625-2992. Open MTF/FTM support group Gender Reassignment Team.

Another good resource is Yahoo groups or LiveJournal. I found the Florida FTMs group on Yahoo. Just go on "groups" and "search for groups". Also, you might check out this group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FtM-trans/

It's a big group so there are likely to be some guys on there that live near you.

I hope this helps!

Also, I'm with Ray...Southern Comfort is going to rock the kasbah. : )

We should start a "who is going to Southern Comfort" thread.

Hey man...my name is Ray, short for Brayden and I live in VA. I don't really have much support either, except my wonderful girl, and would love to meet up with you and help you find the resources in VA. There are some great ones, surprisingly. I live in the southern part of Richmond and go to VCU. Where are you at?

you could email me if you'd rather...

Brayden

      Thank you. It seemed to me when I was driving home that I had a bit more bounce in the rear end over bumps so I'm wondering if the frame was bent. I will have them check it tomorrow morning when the do the appraisal.

      There is just a feeling that this is normal when I wear f clothes.  As a biological male I am supposed to, I suppose, experience dysphoria in f clothes. Instead it is reversed.  Sometimes there is euphoria about being a girl, but it is because my self-perception is lining up with my self-expression. Clothing is actually secondary.  Or third.  Secondary is what my body looks like.  I am a girl regardless of what I look like. I just am one.  As I get used to this I will probably stop talking about it.  Most women do not go around announcing they are women all the time.  They talk about themselves but the presupposition is that they are women.  Never a matter of debate.

      Do you feel euphoria when wearing feminine clothes? I'm curious about why you think you are supposed to feel dysphoria in fem clothes. I totally get why you would feel dysphoria with masc clothes. For me what urged my transition forwards was the amount of gender euphoria I got from dressing like a guy , and my dysphoria from wearing anything remotely fem got worse and worse until i get rid of evey fem article in my wardrobe and all my makeup, so I could concentrate on just being me and chasing the euphoria. Dysphoria didn't go away though, because I've been misgendered constantly and it hurts more when dressed in my man clothes . However now I'm on T, my doubts and dysphoria have massively lifted and I'm excited to see the masc changes to my body happening. I do have to learn patience though lol.

      https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-touts-florida-lawsuit-seeking-block-biden-title-ix-changes   I did not find coverage of this on CNN or Reuters, so here is a Fox News article.   This expansion of Title IX definition will not make it through the courts.  Plenty of precedence exists for requiring this sort of expansion to have Congressional action. This was poorly done.  Biden should have pushed this through Congress to make it law, instead of using regulations that can be overturned when a different administration comes in.

      Well that's no way to start off a birthday. Be sure to look at your frame just behind your rear axle to make sure it wasn't bent. When I was rear ended... At first look it appeared that my bumper was folded down, however the frame was bent which also bent the floor of the bed. I'm glad everyone is okay    Happy Birthday,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well, I am a veteran.  I did manage to get an honorable discharge - just barely.  I was drafted to start with, and I wasn't wild about it.  But I figured it was my duty as a citizen, so there's that.  TBH I find it hard to stomach people who dodged the draft, going on and on about being such "patriots" and all, and literally hugging the flag. My egg hadn't cracked yet when I was serving, so I don't think being trans directly affected my time in uniform.  But there was most likely some subconscious stuff. Sorry, I don't think this is much use to you.

      That was just one reference that came up.  I originally saw it somewhere else.  Technically, he did call for the eradication of "transgenderism".  But it would be hard to get rid of that (whatever it is) with us still here.     Yeah, later, when he got called out on it.   I don't really see how you can say this.  Sure he doesn't know what he's talking about, but the damage is real.   I will bend over backwards to give someone the benefit of the doubt.  But at some point…. I'm just not as limber any more.   They can say what they want, but actions speak louder than words, and when I see what is happening in red states it is obvious.  They do want to get rid of us.  I'm tired of pretending they don't.

      For a time I would get an anxiety attack when I had to dress in male mode.  Haven't tried it in a while.

      Indeed! Most happiest of Birthdays to you!

      Happy birthday @April Marie!
    • April Marie
      Thank for the birthday wishes, everyone!!!   It started great...and then I was rear-ended at a highway construction site this morning. I'm OK. The woman who hit me was shaken - was going fast enough to deploy her air bags. I was at dead stop. Her car had to be towed away. My truck too a hit to the tailgate and the bumper. It seems OK otherwise but I'll know tomorrow when they do the appraisal.   UGH!   Happy Birthday to Me!! :-)

      "How did it go yesterday? Any trouble in Millville?" He shook his head. "Your biscuits and gravy are great." "Mama's recipe. She taught this girl to COOK." "Uh-huh.  Well, it rained the whole time.  We did the ground breaking in pouring rain.  Your friend, the former head of manufacturing, is now on the Board.  It looks like sunshine down there, he told me, with the missile plant starting up and they re-hired all the people they fired.  Millville Products is as it was.  And the Chinese money is still coming.  That was just an ugly rumor.  Gibson quit, but you knew that." "Missile plant, huh.  Yeah.  Gibson and I may go into business.  But I have been thinking-" "Yeah.  It's been declassified.  I can tell you they made missiles for Navy ships and planes during World War 2. It was shut down after Vietnam.  Several other supporting companies are moving in - paint, electronics assembly, a few others - that support missile production." "Okay."
