Hello Laura's Playground!

I'm so glad you are here and there to help me through one of the most interesting transitions of my life. I have many questions and look forward to being educated and helped through the emotional roller coaster of ups and downs for both Kat and myself.

I am looking forward to be part of this wonderful group of people.

Thanks, Kat's Wife

p.s. For lack for a better name you can call me Betsy.

Hi Betsy - we are so glad you are here. As I wrote - I am one of the OLD GRAY MARES here - age 64. I transitioned starting at age 61 and live full time now. My wife was grudgingly acceptive at first, but could not handle the criticism of her family and her friends. So she gave me up. So it is never easy. We sacrifice and lose so much, just to be our true selves.

Anyway - grin!

WELCOME!

I know that you have many questions.. so go ahead and ask dear.

Love

Hi!

Guess what?

I'm the yokel who just got off the phone with Kat ... and heard you talking and laughing in the background! :lol:

Even though I know your real name and a good deal about you (couresy of Kat), mum's the word. Nothing, Herr Kommandant ... I ... say ... NOTHING! Remember Sgt. Schultz (John Banner) on Hogan's Heroes? :blush:

No doubt we'll meet in person sooner than later. Come with Kat to Porlandia sometime. It'd be an HONOR to met you!

Dear Betsy,

I am so glad that you are here.

Kat is sort of special to me, being on the West coast she has been up and available at some times of crisis in my life when so many others were already asleep.

I feel a special bond with this wonderful person that you are married to - she is a wonderful lady and she says such good things about you and her feelings for you - I am so glad that you are here and working so hard to try to understand - that is a rather daunting task.

You have just said hello to a lot of new and very special friends.

Love ya,

Sally

Welcome, Betsy. I've benefited from Kat's posts more than I can express. I'm glad to see you here, too, and looking forward to reading your posts. (I'm not one of the huggers; I'm more the strong (not so) silent type, but I'll tip my invisible hat to you.)

Please feel free to ask any question or make any comment. We are all here for you, and you know we all love Kat, too.

Hi Betsy! So nice to meet you.

Kat is a very special person and well loved here. I look forward to getting to know the person she has made it plain she treasures and loves.

So kick back and make yourself at home. Post or read, question or comment all you like. Enjoy!

How are you holding up? Mine wife is putting on a good front but being somewhat ripped apart with sadness inside I'm sure. Or maybe that's my guilt. don't know. I wish I could understand how or why God does this to us. He is very hard to comprehend.

Hi Betsy, honey,

Welcome to Laura's Playground!

Everyone here is just as wonderful as I'd told you, don't you think?

I do think Laura's will help you with your transition difficulties, and, doubtless you can help others too!

It really is good to have you here as one of the family!

All my love,

Kat

Just had to say it: Awwwwwwwwwww so adorable!! :wub:

Kat,

You are putting a curfew on Betsy? :lol: If she stays up late, either Lizzy and I will be here to chaperone. Night time is a good time to post and read. But we do understand that you only want to share her with us for just a little while. And that is so sweet.

Hugs,

John

P.S. Betsy, we really are sane, despite what Kat told you.

Sorry I'm a little late to this...

Betsy,

I think it is wonderful you are joining a site like this to help with transition. I know it can be rocky at points, but the fact that you are making such an effort shows how lucky Kat is to have you! Welcome to Lauras!

      Satisfaction Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Well, for me, on day one is was like, wow, I feel more relaxed.  Then every day after that was more of the same.  YMMV.

      Groupings are easy for news material.  And in many nations, we live in a society that doesn't read in-depth.  There are always a few members of any group that can give it a bad name.  Pedophile priests undermined trust in the Catholic Church.  NAMBLA taints the reputation of LGBTQ+ folks....although since this thread is about Australia, I'm not sure it is very relevant.    Is it ignorance?  Perhaps.  But I think what is often labeled as ignorance is really just a different interpretation of the same facts, and different weight placed on portions of the evidence.  We also live in a time when satire and criticism aren't particularly acceptable or understood by all.   https://nypost.com/2023/06/24/drag-marchers-spark-outrage-with-chant-at-nyc-pride-event-were-here-were-queer-and-were-coming-for-your-children/   ^^^ This was meant sort of tongue-in-cheek, but wasn't helpful.    Like it or not, to many people this is "confirmation" of beliefs, not humor.  And in an era where language is changing and people often get confrontational and angry about minor aspects of language, it seems absurd to believe that there wouldn't be some sort of backlash over trying to label pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons."    While I don't agree with the idea that "LGBTQ = pedophile" I can understand how folks might think that was the case.

      Hello @FelixThePickleMan!  I second this breaking the cycle idea.  And the idea of getting some help to do it.  I was pushed into a treatment program in high school for marijuana addiction and because I went into it with an open mind, I was able to break the cycle by latching onto some of the literature.  It didn't keep me sober for the rest of my life, but helped a ton and was the only time I went through treatment.   I found marijuana to be fun and productive when practicing music.  At least for a while.  I can't imagine my life without the influence of it, but it would have been better to give it up a little sooner.  Drinking in the military was terrible for me, but it was good to be off of the marijuana during that time.  I didn't start drinking until I was about a year into the military.  I was trying really hard to avoid that, but there are a lot of people drinking in the military.  Be careful and love yourself!  Enjoy the journey too.   Smoking is bad for the lungs and will constrict your arteries as you get older.  It's best to put some limits on these things!  It's hard work, but worth the effort!  I found myself avoiding recovery meetings and doing recovery on my own for decades only to find myself going to meetings to enjoy being with others when I was older.  LOL!  Silly humans....   Hugs, Lydia

      Starting HRT this week (the estradiol patches were out of stock at my pharmacy last week). It's obviously a big first step in my transition and one that has been long delayed by my initially unaccepting wife (who now has dropped her opposition). My biggest initial apprehension is the much talked about emotional roller coaster in the next few months. Something that my endocrinologist also mentioned as a possibility (probability??). How troublesome will it likely be? Will this be me soon:

      I am not going to laugh at this one although I want to.  We have had some school districts here in California try the same shenanigan against our state laws. (Same result as in this case, State law supervenes local law.    I have an idea though, put skates on the county honcho and make him race against all the women in the organization doing the suing there.  I think most of the Cis women would beat the liver out of him, now what is fair?

      https://www.wbtw.com/news/grand-strand/horry-county/lgbtq-community-reacts-to-sc-approval-banning-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-minors/     If not struck down by the courts this bill will hurt trans kids.  And that bit about "don't worry, you can transition when you're an adult?"  Don't believe that for a minute; come next session, adult trans health care will be targeted.   Carolyn Marie

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/judge-strikes-ny-countys-ban-female-transgender-athletes-roller-derby-rcna151806     Pretty common sense, straightforward decision.  Someone overstepped their authority - imagine that?   Carolyn Marie

      PM any or several of the Moderators or Administrators if you want to have something changed due to spelling errors, or if you simply want to have an entire post deleted.  We do not allow members to edit their own posts since there are some items we restrict from being posted.  Those things are in the Community Rules and if a Staff member has removed something because of the rules we do not want it coming back.  https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules/   Use the PM system to contact us and include a link to the post you want changed.
