A Hello From Elise.

Guest Elise Vahl

Hello everyone!

I'm Elise, and it is wonderful to be here! For the first time in a while I'm... well I'm ecstatic to be honest. I think that the real gravity of being able to talk freely amongst others who are like me is sinking in.

Hmm deep, calming breaths Elise...

Anywho! As i said, I'm happy to be here, I am just shy of 16, have been aware of what I am for about two years now... (I actually have a biography thread up if you want to go take a peek at it.)

Right now, all of my friends know about me... as well as some people who I thought were close enough of acquaintances to stick by me even knowing that. No loss there. They were never really my friends. Past that, I've pretty much always associated with females (like myself ;)) throughout my lifetime, but in the recent years where I've discovered that of myself, I didn't have much of a support group until I met the person who I am currently dating--who fully supports my lifestyle (and who I truly don't deserve)--, and soon after them, a group of people I became friends with when I started my freshman year.

La-de-dell. What else to tell

Uhm, I've become completely comfortable with myself... actually, I'm going to say that differently...

I was never comfortable with myself until I became aware of what I am... Ever since I realized it, my self image, and overall health has been getting better!

Myuu, what else is new...

Ba-Da-Bend I guess that's the end!

Well, besides that, I don't know what else to say!

Again, happy to be here! ^-^

Hello there Elise,

Great to have a new member and such a happy one! I'm glad to say that much like you, I didn't have a very good self image until I decided to embrace the real me. Now I'm almost smug! :D

You'll find a lot of wonderful, friendly and even smart people here. I am in the friendly group - trying to stay humble because I'm really the leader of all three! :lol:

Have a wonderful time and feel free to ask any questions that you might have - the only stupid question is the one unasked.

Love ya,

Sally

Glad to be welcomed. I'm sure that having others around who are like minded may have a positive effect on me, right? At least I'd hope so.

La-det-dee I'm so happy.

and uh... Energy? Where? I don't see anyone who is overly energetic.

No-more-bouncing-off-walls-Elise.

Oh! Oh! I know a question (read: many questions) better left unasked! I won't say it(/them) though. :P

I'm so sorry Elise, no one has offered you any hot cocoa and cookies yet!

Have a sit in the most comfy chair you can find and I'll send you a virtual cup, careful, it's hot and I just baked a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies - warm from the oven (and being virtual they are made from scratch - nothing is too good for our new friends). :D

Love ya,

Sally

Before I forget to ask... Where should I start moseying around? There are so many subforums!

What to do, what to do.

Getting up and dusting myself off, you are more than welcome.

Try the General Transgender Forums and look for the area that seems to fit your question or observation. I just check all new posts when ever I sign in - that way I don't miss anything!

If you hang around in the MTF all the time you miss the cross dressers and the teens and the cute guys! :blush:

Well anyway, just look around, there' always something happening!

Love and hugs,

Sally

Hi Elise, welcome (sorry the welcome is late). You sound like a great person and glad your self image is getting better. Definately understand about it being poor until accepting yourself for who you are. I have to admire you for accepting and facing who you are at a young age, wish I could have done that when I was your age (yes I am jealous since I am 40 now and only accepted myself within the last year :P ). Take care and be safe girl

Hehe, I haven't grown up in a 'normal' family, because of that, what I can accept as true (aka, open mindedness) is easily augmented... Helped me come to terms very quickly. (Not to mention that because I was/am a pariah, there isn't a very large amount of people who I can disappoint, or who I fear not being accepted by.)

Take care and be safe girl

Deep breaths

Yaaay! You are officially the first person (excluding my other) to refer to me by a feminine noun! Wheeeeeee!

So glad to be able to help! Acceptance is what we are all about here.

I have to tell you that nothing makes me happier than getting a post back that says that they are feeling better!

If no one has mentioned a cookie that you like just let us know, we'll bake some for you - I do draw the line at anchovies! :lol:

Love ya,

Calm down Kelly Ann!

I'll offer you the guys alternative menu! Cheese burger and fries, Pepperoni Pizza (I can add anchovies) or Chicken Fried anything that you can think of! :D

I find that a Texas sized Chicken Fried Steak, with mashed potatoes and country gravy can almost knock you out it is soo filling and comforting - See ya, I'm going to have to fix dinner!

Love ya,

      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      That's great @Lorelei   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
