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,

Sally

      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.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      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.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either
    • Ivy
      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck
