Hello everyone! I'm a newbie when it comes to being on a forum so please be patient. I'm not to new to Laura's I've been coming here since I finally realized/accepted who I really was about five months ago. I've known that I was different since puberty but I could never quite put my finger on it. Probably because for the first 30 years of my life I had a chronic illness that kept me from really being aware of what was going on with my body and mind. But I got a second chance at life at 30 and it's been a year of rediscovering who I am. It has been an exciting and fearful time in my life now that I have to gather up all my courage and come out to my family. My mom saw me in full eye make-up and foundation the other day when I came home, I tried to avoid her but I couldn't, when I went upstairs and washed it off, I could hear her crying and opening and closing drawers. I don't know if was about me or not but I assume so. I'm still living as a male, just slowly, slowly, catching the monkey as some one on here said. I've gotten a full body wax, most my make-up, breast forms with a bra, ladies underwear (wear full-time), some clothes, and a couple of pairs of shoes. I just don't have a place to wear them. I got a wig too but haven't been able to get it on right. Well I could use all the help and support I can get so if you have any suggestions please feel free to reply. Thanks everyone

Welcome to this side of the playground dear. Please read the terms and conditions at the bottom of any page if you haven't done so. Please don't feel rushed on your path. It takes us time to come to grips with ourselves and what we want to do. You would find that a good GT would help to find your self and also how to involve the others in your life. For me the reactions of others or the fear of those reactions caused me a great deal of pain. It sounds you are finding the same. We are here to share with and you are not alone in your journey.

Hugs,

Charlie

Hi, and welcome to the Forums! Not sure if you have been on Chat or not, but it is available too. Families are usually the last to accept, and some of your relatives may never accept. You have to decide what is right for you.

We really encourage the step of contacting a Gender Therapist. In most all cases it really is worthwhile as they can help guide you on your path. Anyway, hope you will continue to post in the Forums as you can.

Huggs,

Opal

hi Muzik,

That's great that you feel like you have a 2nd lease on life so to speak, 30 is a great age, getting closer to being 30 myself. So, live everyday to the fullest, because we never know what tomorrow will hold. As far as the journey goes, coming out, talking to others, everything takes time and gets easier to handle as time goes on.

Hi Luva,

Welcome to Laura's Playground.
Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.
The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.
Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.
One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)
We all look forward to seeing you.

      Good morning everyone,   I’ve been working on a few projects and my internet screen time has been very low. Today is Primary Election Day for Indian voters. I will be voting later, but the most important thing I’m looking forward to is the reduction of political advertising. Let’s get back to regular daytime advertising which reminds me of the need for hearing aids, Medicare choices, and comfortable catheters. Heaven forbid I would need an accident injury lawyer to get me the big check. Only daytime TV can take a 30 minute show from the 1980s and make it into an hour long series. I really don’t watch that much TV because I prefer to listen to music while I’m in the shop or doing yard work.    The coffee is good, the morning songbirds are loud as they forage for their hatches.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I pretty much started out what some would consider as the androgynous phase of childhood puberty. Being the youngest sibling in my family, I was mostly seen wearing boy clothes at the time. As I explained earlier about my parents not showing me my birth certificate until later on in life, in the meantime before that happened, my daddy always wanted a boy/son in the family. It's been a long time, when I first started menstruating, it was a turning point in my life, followed by a series of car ride returns to the emergency room, patient profiling, and misdiagnosis.      From that moment my parents had stopped saying I was going through a phase. One night at my parents' home during midnight hours, they thought I was asleep, but I saw their bedroom light was still turned on. Out of curiosity,  I tip toed to their bedroom's door as I listened in on their conversations, it was the first time I heard my parents questioned about the gender marker on my birth certificate wither a hidden variation involved in my development.

      Good morning   weii I’ve read some good news here this morning    Yes the ancient Roman symbol was used on some coins. The Mercury dime come to mind. It was showing our fighting might.  Arrows and a fighting axe.  I realize few people recall the Mercury dime.  My 6th grade swore there was no such thing so I brought him one.  He had promised a dollar if I could prove it which I did. Then he tried to Welch on the bet. The entire class got on him and he had to give me the dollar.  Ah, the little things we still remember from over 60 years ago.  Like today as a i was cutting a banana for my cereal I recalled my grandfather doing the same for me about 70+ years ago.   well instead of a 9 hour day I have an 8 hour day scheduled then there is that stay a little longer to do X.

      AI overviews are experimental. Learn more…Opens in new tab       Emotional happiness is a state of positive emotion that can range from contentment to intense joy. It's often characterized by feelings of satisfaction, joy, fulfillment, and gladness. Happiness can also be defined as a positive evaluation of one's life and accomplishments, or a state of emotional well-being. It's often distinguished from other positive emotions, such as interest, excitement, and affection, and negative emotions, such as fear, anger, and sadness. Happiness is often associated with smiling.    Verywell Mind   What Is Happiness and How Can You Become Happier? - Verywell Mind Nov 7, 2022 — Typically, happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment. While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Britannica   Happiness | Definition, Nature, Psychology, & Facts | Britannica Mar 13, 2024 — happiness, in psychology, a state of emotional well-being that a person experiences either in a narrow sense, when good things happen in a specific moment, or more broadly, as a positive evaluation of one's life and accomplishments overall—that is, subjective well-being. Happiness can be distinguished both from negative emotions (such as sadness, fear, and anger) and also from other positive emotions (such as affection, excitement, and interest). This emotion often co-occurs with a specific facial expression: the smile. Related Topics: emotion eudaimonia smiling eudaemonism pleasure.

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines happiness as “an emotion of joy, gladness, satisfaction, and well-being.” Many of us would agree with the APA's definition, yet the more you look at it, the more it can seem incomplete. For example, you may feel all of those emotions at one moment, but an hour later you may feel none of them. So are you a happy person or not? en.wikipedia.org   Happiness - Wikipedia Happiness is a positive and pleasant emotion, ranging from contentment to intense joy. Moments of happiness may be triggered by positive life experiences or thoughts, but sometimes it may arise from no obvious cause. The level of happiness for longer periods of time is more strongly correlated with levels of life ...
