Hello everyone,

Pfff, I hate introductions, I already thought about it once, looked around twice, started 3 times, deleted 4 times, got a fresh coffee 5 times, ate some chocolate for courage 6 times, sighed 7 times, got up to think 8 times, went back to reading emails 9 times, kicked myself on my behind 10 times and finally started.

Ok, maybe I exaggerated a little, but you catch my drift and sense of humour.

Sorry if some of you don't get my expressions, I lived too much internationally not to adopt some weird and wonderful sayings. (Bangs herself on the head for starting off with an apology).

I am... a Transperson, pre-ops MtF to be specific. I don't like the separation in terms and prefer the term TG rather than TS, since TG says more about how I feel rather than how I'm going to end up. I'm not very keen on the S part, since non-community people tend to think you're doing it for the sex. But alas, that's society.

And I'm regularly stuck with myself. More on that later...

I'm not one of the youngest, I'm in the beginning of my 40's. I should have gone through this many years ago, but thanks to some stubborn group of psycs (psychiatrists and psychologists) I got delayed.

I'm 2 months on HRT, had 3 sessions of laser therapy for my beard. But I'm still living in the closet, which is my biggest problem.

I started out writing a whole biography, but took it out again. I'll post that in the appropriate section some time.

I have seen quite a few posts of people feeling similar feelings, so I guess this forum is a nice additional home for me.

Just in case you're wondering, I'm NOT French! I just happen to live in France. I originate from a relatively small country in Europe with a non-English language. I actually don't like France for many reasons, one being the narrow-mindedness with regards to the LGBT-community. Which also is my reason for being vague about who I am, I have too much to fear when I'm found out.

Anyway, I don't want to start with a rant. :P

Hiya everyone! :lol:

hot cocoa~~ woo hoo~

welcome to the forums :D

I live in Hawaii and I hate living here too :P

I'm also a year since I started HRT and I'm still in the closet. lol. Well, publically at least. Most friends and family knows that I'm transgendered though. (and yeah, I use the term TG more than TS for that same exact reason too)

So yeah, I understand what you mean...so hope you can find here as a safe haven while you stay closetted :)

*hugs*

      April, that is def good advice. I have had some really bad experiences with a therapist in the past. She way violated my trust. That caused a massive amount of damage to every corner of my life. Truthfully, because of that i have alot of deep seeded trust issues. I'm not sure i could ever go back to therapy. You are of coarse right, therapy would help, suppose its a matter of finding the right one and learning how to trust again.

      Purses

      By JenniferB · Posted

      I look for purses with a shoulder strop that goes across the body. I also like many pockets. But one purse is not enough. I like purses that are artistic and make a statement about my personality. It doesn't have to be flamboyant, but matches my character. I also need a purse when I want to blend in and not be noticed so easily. One that won't draw attention to me when I don't desire it.

      What if a social media platform giant, (we all know its name) on devices we own, is held responsible for creating rules to intentionally target our community? for political reasons?

      Well just got back back from a visit to our oldest and family. It was nice having my granddaughter snuggle up to me on the couch. Gave me a big hug when we went over yesterday. Spent all day yesterday with them.  I envy my granddaughter, being able to grow up a girl. Something I wish I got to do.    Hugs, Kymmie

      I hope our members from the Mid-South are doing OK today.  A lot of places had a real disaster overnight.  Tornadoes dropped all over, through Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee.  Lots of damage, and many people missing.  Pray for those involved, and that there won't be another wave of it tonight.   My county was spared almost all of it, but a neighboring county was hit hard.  Our Defense personnel were mobilized this morning to assist with access control, because all their local LEOs are needed for search and rescue.  No idea of how many are injured and missing, but there have been several deaths.  We may not know for weeks.  Rural areas here have a lot of shacks and trailer houses, and most people were asleep because it hit at the worst time - early morning on a Sunday during a holiday weekend.  Tornado hit a retirement home, and lots of elderly folks were hurt bad.  There was no forecast for this, and little if any warning.      Electrical outage is widespread, and it has been followed by a really hot, humid day.  Heat index is around 115 - it's killer heat.  I went out with my husband this morning, since everybody with a CDL was needed for a convoy.  I'm back home now, since I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night.  He'll probably be there overnight, and GF is there also helping with mechanical issues.  They've converted a big Baptist church into a community shelter for people who have lost their homes, and set up a generator and AC.  I'll probably go back tomorrow to help some more, as they're working on setting up a kitchen...nobody wants to eat MRE's forever.    They're getting no help from the state at all yet.  Governor didn't bother to declare an emergency until this afternoon!   The National Guard hasn't been activated either.  If it wasn't for Defense personnel, there'd be gawkers and looters. Its ridiculous, like only the cities matter.  Two rural towns literally no longer exist - its like a bulldozer a half-mile wide went through.  I've seen tornado damage before, but this is the worst.  Its just heartbreaking to look at it.
