hello my name is Blaire Ruth, you can call me blaire.

I'm 52 years old and i just had the best year of my life. in 2008 i found out who i am, more on that later, found out that family and close friends were willing to stand by me thru this time in my life.

ok, last jan on my birthday i started therapy for my gender issues. the previous year i had attempted to kill my self because i just couldn't take the internal war anymore. luckly i was not successful and a new friend i had met online suggested i find a therapist to talk to. not being comfortable around men at this time i looked for a woman. i found one who turned out to be one the sweetest human beings i have ever come across. she insured me i was not crazy or going crazy and so we started our relationship and my therapy. she is a friend as well as a therapist to me. she introduced me to another wonderful woman who has also become a wonderful friend and mentor. she is post-op trans and a source of encouragement.

anyway back to who i am, i started on hormones therapy in aug. of 2008 and the war inside of me ended. seems my femm side found an "A bomb" of sorts in the form of spiro. when the testosterone went away so did the struggle inside, however the estrodiol amd progesterone have made me happier than i have ever been. ok it's not those drugs it's the fact that i am now becoming that person i always wanted to be. who i should have been born as. but i am happier today than i can remember.

i am a born again faith believing christian, however i will not preach at or to anyone. but that is a part of who i am. i call God Daddy and he calls me his little girl and has opened doors for me. such as, no one has rejected me when i came out to them. i thank him for that. ok enough of that

i know that i am not a beauty queen and will probably never be one, but i do hope to get some FFS soon as well as new teeth. and of course a trip to Trinidad is most definitely in my future.

well i have rambled long enough, if you want to get to know me please feel free to contact me. i love to make new friends.

if you are a transman i'd really love to get to know, i haven't met any of my brothers yet and want then/you to be my friends also

ok really that's all

much love

Blaire Ruth :D

Hello Blaire,

Or should I say, Howdy" :D ?

I'm a 57 year old fellow Texan, I am so happy for you, I wish that I could say that things have gone as well for me, but that is another story.

I am so glad that your attempt was unscessful and that you are here now.

It's a little on the warm side in Texas right now, so instead of the hot cocoa and cookies, I'll offer you some peppermint ices tea and some homemade brownies! :D

Take all you want virtual food, while comforting, has no calories or fat! :lol:

Get comfortable, enjoy the company you have found a great group here.

Looking forward to hearing from you, post as often as you like and answer any and all questions.

Laura and her crew work very hard to keep this a safe place, so sit back and know that you are now part of our family.

Love ya,

Sally

You know you can get your drivers License changed

If you find a sypathertic clerk, and explain your situation as transsexual

And have the proper letters from two therapist and a court order from a judge

And explain that you really don't want to spend the rest of your life, miserable with the indication on your Drivers Licese.

And it is used as an ID by everyone and it is soooo embarrising...

Well... with all that - maybe a simple little erasure here and a simple little addition there...

Ohio can be changed to Texas

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
