Hey, I'm Riley, I'm 15 [going on 16] and I'm FTM.

I've known that I was in the wrong body since I was probably about 6. I'm hoping to start transitioning this summer. :)

Welcome Riley,

I see that Donna Jean has already gotten you refreshments and a nice seat by the fire.

We are all here to support and help each other, so sit back and relax, more will be by to say hello, or you can get up and wonder around the forums, ask questions, post opinions and even give advice.

I'll refill that Coco, you can take it with you into the other forums, they won't mind, have some more cookies - those lumps of chocolate with a bit of cookie in them are my double chocolate chip coolies sort of a favorite among the FTMs .

If you would like we have pizzas and cheeseburgers too, soft drinks tacos when I'm here Texans must have their TexMex food. (You will have to arm wrestle Zabrak for the tacos, he may be Canadian, but he is sort of my adopted son and he has developed a real thing for tacos!)

It's OK to eat desert first - life is short and no one wants to miss desert!

Love ya,

Sally

Hola.

Hmm, you're new, guess I won't eat all those cookies up from you lol. Glad you made it in. Transitioning is good, being young is good, the meeting of the two in terms of what doctors will do is fickle. Stay, read things written by people the same as you; teens looking to transition. If you need anything pm any mod and you just about will get some answer. The fellas will be here ( :rolleyes: or may be lurking lol) and will "break you in" on the FtM side of things. I'd tell you not to be afraid of the wording "break you in" but hey(lol) it keeps things interesting lol.

Welcome Welcome Welcome

We have a huge group of people in the teens age group - be sure to say hello to them in the teen forum - but you are allowed to post anywhere you want as long as it is appropriate. Don't forget to check out the CHAT - good information there and it is safe. The entire site is fairly well patrolled - plus you will find people are not judgemental here - and if you feel you are FTM. lot of good support there too - Evan and Jackson are two very good people - and then there is our new star, Zabrak - age 20 going on 45 - ha! And lotsa others toooo... yikes, i get in trouble naming names... I can't name everyone...ooops.

I am older - MTF and have a reputation of being opinionated but thats not true, in my opinion... hee hee!

Glad to have you here - please 'ask' a lotta qustions and 'answer' a lotta questions - by posting... get 5 or more posts and you can private message those who catch your eye.

Welcome again - we need young ideas!

Lizzy

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.

      I admit to wearing make-up. Actually, I'll admit to enjoying wearing make-up. For me, it's been part of learning about myself as a woman and finding a style and look that reflects my personality.    Sometimes, it will just be a bit of mascara and a touch of lipstick. But, most often I wear foundation with setting powder, gel eyeliner, mascara, a little blush on my cheek line and lipstick. I also use an eyebrow pencil to darken my brows a bit.  Infrequently, I will add some eye shadow.   Most of my make-up is from Mary Kay although my lipsticks or from various manufacturers and eyeliners are mostly Maybelline. My wife purchases most of her make-up from Mary Kay and so we order together from our local representative. Of course, I don't have much brand experience but I'm happy with the Mary Kay products and find myself transitioning almost entirely to their line of make-up.
