Saw mom in law today

Saw her today and bought her lunch. The opportunity presented it's self as I am on a business trip to Southern California this week. This was the first time she had seen me in over a year and I had told her about myself over the phone last year. This was an awesome get together today, she is so supportive, and she also cares for her daughter very much. We talked very openly about my trans issues. She really just cares for the best of our family's well being. She acknowledged that my issues are not easy to deal with, but showed amazing understanding. This was very reassuring, nice to talk to her face to face, nothing better. Just had to post this as I feel pretty good now.

I love stories like this. When I first started and I read all the posts about someone saying they got accepted, I thought so what, why is everyone posting stuff like this. Now I know, now I understand and now when I read your post, I smile and grin with happiness.

Strange how time changes perspective.

Thanks for a great update

I am so happy for you - acceptance is a wonderful thing - too many do not get that so savor it and truly appreciate the great gift that your mother in law has given you.

Love ya,

Sally

Thanks so much everyone for all your kind words and support, that's really what makes this community so special, it really means a lot to me as I type these words from a hotel room. This is so hard on others to have this condition as we all know, even as I feel better being open and expressive, it really takes it's toll on everyone that surrounds us.

Love

Love, Meg

      Thank you! So do I! Although I'm proud of what it portrays, I don't wear it often because I think it could be taken as being a bit provocative. One part of me says look at me, I'm proud to be on the rainbow and the other part says pull your head in, you're asking for trouble.   I do have a more subtle pride t-shirt that I visibly wear more often, here is a representation of it: "Moon phase rainbow" V-Neck T-Shirt by secretmagic | Redbubble

      Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes how calm, collected, and emotionally consistent someone is. It's the opposite of neuroticism, which is a personality trait that describes how much negative affect, emotional volatility, and mood fluctuation a person displays.

      I'm lucky. I have both. For therapists, the Psychology Today is a good source, as is the resource section here at TP.  BOTH are soi vital.

      Welcome back. I'm almost 4 years in so I didn't have the chance to make your acquaintance before. Glad you came back. Helping others is fantastic, needed and wonderful. Hugs, Heather

      Good morning!   Finally got my ears pierced, so up even earlier worrying about how I slept on them last night.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.
