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

Spenser - you hit the jackpot! ;)

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.

WELCOME- we will do whatever we can to help you. B)

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!

      This is fantastic, We're adding a Boxer to our family sometime this evening or tomorrow. His name is Parker. We'll be crate training him as well as introducing him to two cats that have never been around a dog.   Pictures to follow later,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I still don't understand how any queer people can vote for these people.  I'll just leave it at that.
    • ClaireBloom
      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      Just more of the same.  Unfortunately, I'm coming to expect it.

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      Said it is possibly ptsd and anxiety,wants a second opinion.
    • Mmindy
      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      My life is back on track.I lost both of my parents at age 24 before I came our,dad to a heart attack and mom to drugs.Good thing is my other family members have been there support.The VA pays for my transition,did 4 years in the Army
    • Adrianna Danielle
      I have been having issues from my past and going to get help for.It has been from my parents whom are deceased that forced me into being the person whom I really was not before I came out.Therspist I see for my transitioning said going to refer me a therapist that deals with ptsd and anxiety issues.

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉
