Hello Taylor and welcome to Laura's. We are happy to have you here.

Things can get crazy after you figure it out.

Here at Laura's we try to provide a safe space where you can get advise and share experiences.

How ever we are not therapist. A good gender therapist can help you decide just where you fit in on the gender scale.

Please take some time and look at the terms and conditions so you can see how we operate on the forums.

Have a look around and post when you are ready.

Hi Taylor

Welcome to Laura's! You've found a great place to be yourself and explore your feelings.

Congratz on the successful visit with the psychiatrist-that is such a major hurdle behind you!

By the way I like your name.

We aren't therapists, but we will be happy to share our opinions and experiences with you. Please feel free to post as much as you want in any forum whether asking questions, expressing opinions or sharing experiences. We are a PG-13 moderated site. You will have access to the PM system and profiles after 5 posts.

If you have not already done so, please read the "Terms and Conditions" page, the link to it can be found near the lower right of most any Forum page

I enjoyed your introduction and look forward to your posts!

Hi Taylor,

<<< hug >>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

We have MTF meetings-Mon & Sat 9pm est, and you are welcome to attend.

We all look forward to seeing you.

Heya Taylor :) welcome from another Brit!

Congratz on the psychiatrist thing :) I did that about three months ago now. Isn't it lush to have someone tell you you're probably sane? :D Get ready for the even longer wait now <_<

Looking forward to reading your posts :)

Well, I hate to say this but where we are certainly, you are probably not going to get that until you talk to actual trans people who have been through what you are going through. The whole system we have over here tends to function (in my opinion) as a kind of process thing. You go along to you appointements and go through the whole NHS system but all you are effectively getting is the nod or otherwise, to go on to the next phase. Only us historically trans people can really count as specialists (again....in my opinion). If you want to chat about stuff then I have no problem,

Debbie.

No problem. Feel free to pm me or get in touch whenever you want to.

I have a small circle of about 20 trans friends and we are all at different stages. It's good to have peeps you can chat to for support.

Bye for now.

Hi again Taylor

I hope you had a great Christmas. I certainly did, although I now need more squash sessions to get rid off all those extra pounds I put on during the festivities. In fact I have just organised one 10 minutes ago with a young FtM friend who beat me for the first time last week, bless him. While he is getting stronger, I am getting weaker. Oh well. :wacko:

Hi Sugar!! And a warm, warm welcome to our family here at Laura's. You will find so much support and understanding here and a great cheer-leading section as you make your journey to becoming the woman you were born to be.

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
