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

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!

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.
    • KatieSC
      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      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.
