Have to talk to my Daughter

I have to talk to my daughter. I really don't know if she knows about me. So I'm going to fly down to San Diego in 2 weeks and have "The Big Talk". My wife and son know. But there's a 6 year difference between my children. And when I told him several years ago I thought that I'd wait a few years prior to informing her.

There are going to be a couple of problems with this. The first one is that she's in a play that weekend. So I really won't see her until after the play on Friday night. But my wife wants me to surprise her and be there to pick her up after the play. I'm thinking that prior to the discussion, it might be best to dress in a more androgenous appearance. Problems with that are what to wear. It's not as if I have a ton of unisex clothes here. And as far as wearing guy stuff, well, let's just say it's not going to do much of a job at covering up a few items. That was the main reason I went full time. Couldn't hide my chest anymore.

And then on Saturday my wife wants me to go to the play. Fine idea, that one. So now I'll get the honor of mingling with a whole big bunch of Kylie's friends' parents.

Who of course all know absolutely nothing about me other than I've been up in Seattle for a couple of years. And of course the spouse wants me to go androgenous once again. Lol... in what? The last time I saw my Doc he said "Damn! You have quite a rack going there!" Uhm, ok. But it doesn't hide very well. And add to it the twice pierced ears, the nicely styled longer hair etc,etc. This is going to be an interesting trip. I'll be having that conversation with my daughter the first night I'm there.

I hope it goes at least as well as it did when I came out to my daughter. She just rolled her eyes and said "Well, Duh!" as if she'd known all along. Our kids are amazing some times. :)

Hi Kenzie,

Of course, I can appreciate your problem(s), seeing them every day. And you can't wear layers like you can here. But, perhaps a jacket of some kind would help. Remember the knuckle-dragger posture, and if that doesn't work, be proud!

Love, Megan

Megan's reply made me think, For us FTM's we often find that wearing a button down shirt and/or a open jacket layered over can help to hide your chest so you could try that when you go to talk to your daughter.

That's why I'm going to tell her the first night down there. I've serious doubts that things will sneak by not noticed.

Thankfully I got the new driver's license today. I thought that I'd have to use my work ID for the TSA people as it doesn't have a gender on it.

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
