Hi Everyone,

I am MTF who is in my 20's. I have known that something was wrong with me since my earliest memories. I have tried to live out my life as a 'normal male', but have failed. I was married for 2 years before I got divorced. I am happy that I have found Lauras-Playground.

Well we are glad to say 'Hi' right back to you!

You have found a great place - we come and read and chat and just get to be ourselves.

We also offer support, comfort, advice and a sympathetic ear.

Come on in and sit by the fire, there's a nice comfy chair over there that no one is using right now. :)

Have some hot coco and I baked some cookies, take as many as you like - virtual foods have no calories! :D

I'll look around for some mini marshmallows, Donna Jean doesn't always straighten the cart after she greets someone. :lol:

You'll be meeting her and a lot of other great people very shortly - it's early and some of us are on our way to church.

Love ya,

Sally

Mia 1,

Thank you for your warm welcome. It would be good to talk about my divorce sometime. It really is good to know that I have one big family that I can call my own, because once I 'out' myself to my family, I really don't know if I will be accepted by them, accepted for who I really am. :(

I have already started to use the chat room :D .

Yeaa - you found us! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

You may have just come home. :P

Yep - me too - confessed to my middle wife - zap - she was gone! My current sweety-pie? She seems to be staying.

Its a diffucult thing to be transsexual. But we all know what you know (well mostly) and are like you are (well sorta) There are also a bunch here FTM, androgynous, cross dressers, intersex an so on. Diversity abounds, Look around and post all about what you see. Ask questions. And Laura's is especially good to visit when you get down or have an impossible problem

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME :lol::lol::lol:

Hi Danielle...Normal? I was reminded of it just today on TV...it's a city in Il...a couple got married in the Taco Bell there 011109 and refreshments were straight off the menu...no kidding REALLY :blink: additionally the city next door is as close to Normal as it gets <<ouch>> I need a new writer argh...welcome to Laura's...I'm late as usual for the line-up...the Unusual Suspects are all here already...they are really a fun bunch and very sensitive as well. It's been a veeeery long time for my divorce but it darn near crushed me. One thing I might offer is to maintain the 'high ground'...own the adult half if things start going bad...hopefully it won't but I've never heard of an uncontested divorce. By doing that after the initial flurry of gabbage things became far more civil than they would have been doubtless. Hope that helps a little sweetie...I have some extra snicker doodles I'll share...I tend to wander off and need a little sweetness. Huginahug, Kelly Ann

Welcome to our little slice of crazy heaven Danielle (sorry it is late). I see you have already been greeted by some of the greats here and found out that they truly are wonderful and understanding people here. Glad to have you in our wonderful insane little family here (watch out for Liz, Sally and Kelly Ann they can get a little hyper at times :P .... love you ladies).

As was said "it isn't easy being trans" but sure can be fun (and Kermit only had to worry about being green ... lol :lol: ).

      Transfeminine singing voice

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      Trans Woman Murdered In Washington State

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      What's for dinner?

      By KayC · Posted

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.

      Are you left or right handed?

      Right handed, but my left eye is dominant.   However left eye has cataract, So I've learned to hold my cup left-handed so I can see while drinking.

      I will keep your sister in my prayers, @Davie. The insurance thing, that will work out in time. Bureaucracy is annoying, but adds fuel to the fire when you're already upset about another matter. Yes, "wait and pray". Bless you both.

      Not so good today. My sister is in the ER with a stroke. Also, my insurance is screwed up somehow, so I'm being Charged $300 for a simple checkup. I've had to cancel it until it's worked out. But mainly I wait to hear about my dear and supportive sister in the ER. And wait and pray. And pray.
