Hi everyone! I made this profile a while back, and never used it but I want to start posting and getting active in the community now. Let's see a little about my self...

About 3 years ago (age 13 at the time) I told my mom that I didn't feel like I should have been born a boy. She was shocked and told me she wanted to do a little bit of research before doing anything. She never really did anything or talk about it. She did tell my two older sisters which totally freaked me out, but they both told me they accept me so that’s taken some weight off my shoulders. Anyway, I’ve talked to my mom about it more and more and now she finally understands and told me she would start phoning gender therapists within these next few days. I’m soo nervous but at the same time I can’t wait! :lol:

I beg to differ. I have three younger brothers and no sister. All were pretty accepting. I also live with two of them.

I have 6 close friends, 3 girls and 3 boys. the three girls immediately understood and accepted me as a girl - the next time I saw them, they were calling me Emily. The boys, however, not so much. One of them actually took it pretty well, and after a couple weeks started calling me Emily, another somehow though I told him that I was both female and male and couldnt understand what was going on, but after I explained that there is a difference between sex and gender, he understood. Finally, the other guy, after 4 months, still absolutely refuses to call me what I want :( but oh well.

btw, back on topic, that is soooooooooo GREAT for you Emily!!! :D

Welcome to the best crazy little slice of heaven on the internet Emily. Glad you found your way here and that you have started on your journey to find who you are. It is wonderful that your family is accepting of you because that makes them and you very special. You have already meet some of the great people here so just make yourself at home and relax and be yourself. Enjoy the company and food (as Sally is always saying virtual food has no calories) the cookies are great (the ladies make great cookies and coco) and I occassionally will make some pies ( :P:P Sally). Welcome to the family :D

Hi Emily and welcome. I always liked that name.

It's cool that your mom and family are accepting. That's a big hurdle out of the way!

You'll meet lots of nice people here and there's plenty of cookies and milk.

Must be some American thing :P

I've had no problem. 200 co-workers know about me at work. Not ONE of them dares even discuss it, let alone question it. Many of them see me using the women's as well. 95% male environment.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer
    • April Marie
      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
