so i guess this is supposed to be a short biography of my transition?

well, i started playing dress up with my female cousin around 4 years old. i was caught wearing girl's clothes around age 5 or 6 and was punished-this taught me this was something bad that i had to hide. first secretly acquired my own female clothes at age 10, wore them at night whenever i got the chance. started coming out to my friends at age 14. started wearing women's underwear every day at age 17, came out to my mom at 20 and started taking "herbal estrogens". started taking self-prescribed, internet-purchased hormones and getting permanent facial hair removal at age 23, got a safe, legal prescription for hormones at 28, and started living as a woman at 30. If I could get FFS and GRS tomorrow I would, but due to financial constraints any surgeries I may one day get are unfortunately a long way off.

so that's my story in a nutshell! hi!

You certainly belong here. That photograph shows how far you have come - and that is so good. I am happy for you. Be brave as your SRS and all will happen. I go under the knife in a few months and it only took three years to save the money AFTER I got my letters from the therapist. So it does happen.

WELCOME! And thank you for that beautiful introduction! Please look around and make some friends.

thanks for the welcome messages everyone!

dee jay- thanks for the compliment. ideally there are a lot of things i'd like to change on my face, but the one feature that i think sometimes makes people question my femininity is my prominent browbone, and its what bothers me most when i see myself. i'm fairly happy with how my face looks from the front, but i hate seeing myself in profile, so i think getting that taken care of someday would just make me feel more confident and comfortable with myself.

      Monday Musical History Day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Six Word Stories

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      I've been looking forward to the legitimate medical groups coming out strongly against Cass' biased and one sided report, so I'm really glad to see the article you posted, @Davie.  Unfortunately, it won't get nearly the coverage that Cass has gotten.  She has done her dirty work.  Hopefully the pushback and investigative reports on her and her support network will result in her work being shown for what it is.  She is a fraud, and sooner or later all frauds are found out.   Carolyn Marie

      Finally Starting HRT

      By KayC · Posted

      CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica!!  That's really BIG! I myself did not experience a huge emotional roller coaster.  It was more like a smooth slide into emotional comfort.  The biggest effect I felt is when my Dr put me on T-blockers first.  I felt a bit 'empty' for a couple of months, but then realized it was just because the 'T-monster' was no longer running around inside of me.  Then I felt it was my new 'normal'. I feel like the estradiol was the 'frosting' on my transition affirmation.  It's been only positives.  I do cry a lot more, but it's only because I finally feel free to allow my emotions to come out.  To me it's not 'hormonal' ... it's FREEDOM!   Everybody is different but it sounds like you are under great care.  I hope you have a beautiful first year in transition on HRT (keep us updated if you can).

      Yeah, whatever happened to “good morning”?  I think “hey you” can also work to address people without offense…”you” can be single or plural so that works for any gender, non binary, or any group of people, and can be pleasantly offensive or neutral.   And I am very familiar with the experience of being “ma’amed” while in boy mode, particularly on the phone by customer support people located outside north America for some reason.
