I am MtF. Always felt more female since I was kid, like something was missing and other things that should not belong on on body. Mentally felt more female as well. Single child and grew going to church with my parents on Sundays till I went to college and have stopped since due to work on weekends. Parents have stopped going a few years ago. Been cross dressing under neath my regular cloths for long time since I was teen on and off while home. Started using brestforms while sleeping and around the house. Feels more like they belong there. Has always liked my hair long and and gone to a ponytail to keep it neat in back for riding and while out. Looking to go on to HRT and surgery later on. I work as a struggling freelance/artist photographer. Love to bike ride everyday I can and intermediate level local racer as well. Sometimes now I go out rides by my self crossdressed. Do not how my racing team and riding friends will take to transgender person or my family for that matter.

Live in SoCal in the Pomona Valley/Inland Empire. I do not where to go for transgender help as most is far away with traffic down to the OC or LA basin/Pasdena area. Do I see my regular doctor first and tell them I want to start a HRT for gender change during the yearly checkup? I am tall so finding cloths or shoes that fits has always been pain.

Hello welcome to the forums.

I don't know much about where you are, so i can't help much on that side.

Talking to your regular doctor may be a start though.

Hello, Jubei, and welcome to Laura's!

Please be sure to take time to read the Terms and Conditions for the website. These rules are here to protect. You can also find them at the bottom right of most pages as you view the site.

If there is a local GLBT support group, they may be able to assist you. Also, if you can find a local therapist who is knowledgeable about gender identity issues, they may have suggestions of which you are unaware as well.

Hello, Jubei, and welcome to the Playground. It's very nice to meet you.

As far as resources, if you are of college age, the Uni of Cal Riverside campus has an LGBT center, which you can check out here: http://out.ucr.edu/pages/transguide.aspx

Transgendered Soul is an IE group that supports TG folks, and you can contact them for info on gender therapy and medical resources: http://www.transgendered-soul.com/

Lastly, here is a link to a PDF doc with many resources listed in the IE: http://www.mvc.edu/files/Allies_Resources.pdf

Rather than coming out to your family doctor just yet, I suggest you see a gender therapist, who can guide you through the process, help you determine for sure if you are trans, look into other issues that may be important to you, such as work or family issues and socialization in your new gender, and offer referrals to medical folks if you decide that transition is your correct path forward.

In the meantime, please look around and ask all the questions you wish to. We'll be here for you.

HUGS

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

Thanks for advice. I just live in a dead zone where if need something its drive to get to anything on the very eastern edge LA Co. So lots of IE services can not legally help this section of the IE since it is under LA and LA pretends we do not exist. Have run into this problem with other areas of my like. Most of my life is in the IE anyways and doctor is in the IE so see what I can do. Have started looking through the links posted. Again thanks for the help.

      Well, I'll mention a few generalities from web-land that are not necessarily specific to this forum.   Here's some things that can possibly happen:  Disagree with somebody's policy and you just get silenced and eventually disappeared.  Stuff you write vanishes into thin air (and it ain't AI). Threads get shut down for not being "on topic" (a catch-all for when no other rule can be quoted and somebody with power just doesn't agree with you.)  Or if you have a disagreement with somebody (or a few somebodies), they get to mostly say whatever they want, but you get censored.  When it happens over and over again, it has the effect of eventually turning forums into echo chambers.  Some really good forums on the web have withered and vanished over the years because of this.  I have also noticed that the American portion of the internet is increasingly bifurcated, as each partisan side attempts greater control of their own turf.   Given that we're all humans, nobody will have the "absolute" answer to this stuff.  Only more questions, and plenty of philosophy.  I think that one way to measure the health of a forum is to see how acceptable it is to ask questions about policies and their enforcement.  Publicly.  And regarding specific instances as they occur, rather than generalities with specifics kept in the shadows.

      Hi @Madelyn Rain - nice to meet you and Welcome!   To answer your question, when I first talked to my Dr about HRT I was in 'boy-mode" - partly because I was not socially out to anybody yet and was not dressing publicly. But my Dr was very accepting and understanding.  He knew I had been in gender therapy for a couple of years and this was likely the next step.  He noted my preferred name, and my gender pronouns (she/her).  He updated my records to indicate this and referred to me as she/her in my medical records. My experience was very positive and I hope yours is also.  Congratulations on your decision to start HRT. Deep breaths .. One step at a time

      That's a truly inspirational story ... I love the focus of Zaya's mission - "The question was presented to her as, 'If you have one thing that you want to see change in this community, what would it be?'" Wade recalled. "And for her, it goes right to parents. It goes right to the adults. It goes right to us. It's not the kids. It's us."

      I have two bags, both UNIQLO bags just different colors. I’ve become a bit of a shoe girl, though. My willpower and my tenuous employment situation has kept me from buying more though.

      I try to avoid shopping until I drop, but my weaknesses are purses, I would have to be dragged out of the stores while still clinging onto the purse rack lol

      I could not agree more or be more appreciative of this. As one who has come out to only a few people, here I can truly be myself with little fear of inadvertent exposure. Having that ability has helped me to find myself and to gain confidence in expressing my true self. It has helped me to love myself, something I could never do before.

      As far as things being lost on the Web, accidents happen, Just here alone, I have 20,825 posts showing in my number count, but probably only 19K of them are still actually here to view.  There was a change to a new server a number of years ago, and a segment of the data base they were in became locked and could not be transferred to the new drive in the servers we use now.  Why or how that segment of the data base became locked has not been figured out in the time since but at least we know what happened and it was not intentional or aimed at a single element of behavior here.  Data accidents happen with not one single person really responsible for them or for that matter even the computer itself.  Frustrating as all get out when it happens, but it does happen.  Some other electronics I work on as a hobby had their similar problems here a couple days ago because of the Solar Flares, and power outages or dips in voltage can make electronic life miserable.

      This is very true, Jani.  The original owner of this site, Laura, and her chief assistants, developed our community rules more than 15 years ago.  They have been modified many times, to take into account changing tastes, mores, technical issues and legal issues.  Sites such as TikTok and X didn't exist then.  Our naughty word filter, as just one example, has been modified many, many times.   On this site, as on most private sites, in order to become a member one must agree to the T's & C's and abide by, in our case, the "Community Rules."  If you seriously violate those rules your membership can be terminated.  So, yes, freedom of speech here is restricted.  Some sites are lax about enforcement, but that has never been the case here.  We guard the safety of members, and your emotional comfort, zealously.  We aren't perfect and sometimes let things get out of hand, or we go too far with restrictions, but those instances are uncommon (IMO).   Every site has different standards.  Luckily, for every interest there are numerous sites and it's usually easy to find one that fits your needs and temperament.  When it comes to the Internet, one size does not fit all.   Thanks for your question, @Ladypcnj.   Carolyn Marie
