Hey, my name is Spencer, I am a 14 year-old, and really need someone to talk to (mentioning i have no one to talk to, my parents don't support). So would someone be willing to mentor me?

Hey Spencer,

I just thought that I would drop in and tell you that an FTM will come by and offer their support as soon as all of the bowl games are over! :D

I am more than glad to chat and be your freind - I certainly qualify as older (57 - but never ask a lady her age!) but I am headed the other direction! :D

I love your avatar - it says so much! :lol:

There are a lot of great guys here and everyone is willing to help so just hang in there and someone will say something that makes you go, hey, that's what I needed!

Love ya,

Sally

Hola Spencer.

There are tons of FtMs around, and all/most/a lot of em are sure to drop by at some point or another. (no comment on whether or not bowl games play a part lol). In the mean time, feel free to check out the board for info and just to basically get a feel of a place. Mostly everyone's nice and you might find all kinds of input, including how to survive parents :P Take a look through the teen area as well. Lots of times someone close in age is nice to talk to too. And even 16 is older :) You're certainly not the only young person around and I think all the teens here are pretty well liked. Still and all, since its the net, be mindful about not givin out identifying info to grown ups. You never know, it could be someone as new as you and none of us have any idea whether or not they're gonna be a good playground member or bad :( But you'll get to read all the cautions in rules and guidelines area. Make sure you take time to look it over. Besides that though have fun and ask lots of questions if you need to. (scratches head) I think the teens have their own means of teen communications -facebook and whatever- and I'm pretty sure they'll fill you in on what they're all doing. Plus, you're likely to find others looking for "mentor" type situations too. -though honestly my best advice is take your time, you'll naturally figure out folks you like talkin too in threads and stuff.

Ok, thats my spiel, let the snack carts begin :D

....psst, and btw, since he's the only one besides me who's posted so far, I'll personally vouche that Jackson is a cool dude ;) ....

OH GOOD HEAVENS!

Evan just pointed out that no one has rolled out the snack tray for you.

A group of us more mature woman like to offer everyone comfort foods (virtual foods are great no calories and no trans fats) we offer hot cocoa with or without mini marshmallows, cookies, pies during the holidays and for you hungry teenaged guys I've brought the cheeseburgers, French Fries and Pepperoni Pizza! :D

Find a comfy chair and settle in, you're going to like it here - every one is so friendly!

And we are all here for support, for you, and each other - ask your questions, offer your advice and opinions we are all here together.

Love ya,

Sally

Jackson and Evan are the BEST for FTM support & Sally is no slouch either, but she is like me, heading the other way.. Others are gonna signin' in soon as well.

Ask away - read all, and learn how interesting this site is with different people in different stages of their life - and itsa great site!

Don't forget to check out the chat - Laura's is pretty well protected from preditors and flamers. :rolleyes:

Hey Spencer. I'm 18 and I'm a freshman in college so I'm only a bit older than you. My facebook is also on my profile page...I don't use IM much except for Skype so if you ever wanted to contact me facebook is probably the best way aside from the forums. lol

Hi Spencer! Welcome to the Playground!

I'm "older" (30), but I'm much younger in "transition years". Feel free to post or message if you need to vent. You'll find a lot of sympathetic ears around here. We're a friendly bunch!

      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.
    • 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...

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
