I think its time for me to formally introduce myself here. I am Adam. I am 26years old and I now go as a male. That is who I want to be. I think I have cried long enough sitting at the doorstep of Lauras. Everyone in my eyes seems so happy here and as for me well my crying seems to just get worse. I am to my gf a sissy and an "it" I dont really want to express too much about her cause it was brought on too fast for her. And it was a bombshell. I have had the fear of losing her and last night was my last straw she got drunk and starting calling me names that hurt me so bad that the black "hole" i was laying in my bedroom turned into inferior red with heat so I knew that if I didn't go to sleep then I was going to do something drastic. So at 5 am I woke up and I think that was the last time I spoke of anything and that was my stupity to tell her to go to bed in my "hole". I'm sorry this is so long but I post small things an was always afraid I wasn't going to be accepted here.

Adam,

THis may surprise you but all of us here are not living such wonderful and happy lives ourselves.

I finally decided that I could no longer deny who I really was any longer and I told my wife of five and a half years - I have an appointment with my lawyer on Monday to find out what her latest offer is.

My mother takes every opportunity to tell me that I am wrong and I don't know what I thinl or feel but she does!

I am so broke that while my therapist is more than willing to write my letter for hormone therapy, I can't afford the lab tests, so I have to wait some more.

There is no need for you to sit ouside in the cold, who are we not to accept you?

We are just alike, so come on in and we'll try to muddle through all of this together.

Love ya,

Sally

With enough work we can make those dreams a reality, we will never make this a perfect world, but we can fix our own little areas and make it a better world.

Love ya,

Adam, you shouldn't be afraid that you won't be accepted here. This is a place where people like us can come together and not pass judgement on one another. ^_^

Hey Adam,

You can be assured that no one, not you or anyone, has to stay out in the cold on the steps...

You've been welcomed in with open arms. Feel the warmth and security of being among friends that care.

There are no black holes, no red hot holes. Just the comfort of a soft down blanket and pillow.

Hi Adam,

welcome to Laura's, don't be shy and ask for help if you need. Everyone here is willing to help and as you can see everybody accept you as you. No one here will ever judge over you for what you are.

I know bad words can hurt, my father named me things when I told him I am bi some weeks ago and I am 41 (I should be above such things), but nevertheless it hurts me. No one should be called a freak (like me) or so on for what he/she is. And when I was young I had really long hair for a boy (more than shoulder long) and the other boys and girls at school called me a warm bother (don't know how to say that, it is censored) something like sissy - I think. This was hard, too, but no one should deny what he/she is. May it be transgender, cross dresser or the sexual orientation

I am glad that MaryEllen and the others opened the door for you and invited you to join this warm and safe place

Hugs

Frank

Hey Adam,

I know the feeling. I am 18 and just realized my true identity. Coming from a devout Christian family, it hasn't been easy. Your family and friends can't understand how you feel, unless by some chance they are also trans. But while you may feel alone, always remember that there are thousands of us in the same boat. That's why we're all here, to provide love and support. Best wishes and much love,

Hey Adam,

You are a kind soul. You are the type of person that will be the first target for someones aggression becuase they don't know how to handle their own pain. This is an unfortunate thing in the world. Becuase of your situation, I know as well as anybody here that you are one of the best the world has to offer.

We welcome you with open arms and hearts. You are hurting and there is no better place to be then here since we have all experienced pretty much the worst the world has to shove at us. So yes! yes! and yes! we are more than understanding.

Since you are here now with us, all you need to do is take your time, take a breath, relax, and just pour out your heart. There are many people here that can say, "I know what you are feeling".

Without any conditions, or judgments, you are already condsidered "A WELCOMED FRIEND" Just make yourself at home and let us hug your pain away. If you feel like crying some more, go right ahead, it's your bodies way of getting rid of the emotional garbage you don't need. It cleanses your heart and soul.

LOts of Love and hugs Adam

Amanda LR

      Feeling emotionally numb is associated with a number of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Emotional numbness can also be a sign of schizophrenia, depersonalization/derealization disorder, or dissociative identity disorder.

      This is such an issue. There are some foundatrions who will help and you would need to google it - but there are places to seek help.
    • Heather Shay
      It is so differernt for every person. It will depend on your body BUT you'll make it and you'll be happier. Some adjustments maybe be made so be in touch with endo if you need to. CONGRATS. It is a huge step.

      Yeah, the insurance companies are like a minefield. They have many exclusions. Read the fine print. Although they will pay 60% out of network, that means they will only pay 60% of what the insurance company deems as the average cost they usually pay, not what you will pay the surgeon. Yeah, I know they claim that in those fancy looking benefit sheets when you sign up for the plan, but they have an awful record of paying. Some insurance companies like Kaiser Permanente have a lot of coverage for transgender individuals, and some do not.    I ran into the same thing you did, with my facial surgeries. I wound up not getting any reimbursement. It was a hard miserable event. It is not true that most of the good surgeons for trans surgeries do not submit to insurance. We are somewhat vulnerable in that a fair number of us have thought about this surgery for a long time. There was a time when no insurance companies paid a dime. They claimed all of this is cosmetic. Yes, there is a cottage industry based on us. We are vulnerable. I know a fair number of women on here have willingly paid the a lot of money for all types of procedures. That is how serious we are about this surgery. I have friends who have paid out of pocket to a variety of surgeons. I myself paid out of pocket for facial surgery. However, there are some really good surgeons out there associated with university hospitals who can do every bit as good as the surgeons in private practice.    The good news is that United Healthcare is accepted at several big centers with some really good surgeons. Rush University Hospital in Chicago has a wonderful surgeon, and an incredible gender affirming program. They have one of the best integrated programs in the country. Rush makes sure you have wall-to-wall care. Rush meets every one of the WPATH criteria for comprehensive transgender care. There are several other university hospitals with comprehensive programs. I failed to do my research and paid a fortune for my facial surgeries. I could have also had many of the procedures covered in network had I known about Rush, University of Colorado, or Mayo Clinic. Think it through. While there are a number of surgeons offering this surgery with what looks like less hoops, shorter waiting times, but you will pay out of pocket. Good luck with whatever you decide.

      I completely understand the feeling. It’s much like watch a kettle come to boil. Looking back the changes were much like that boiling kettle…the less anticipation, the faster the results seem to have come or became noticeable to me. I do have to say that there was sort of an immediate placebo effect in just the fact that I knew I was finally making it real and that the process had begun. I was immediately at peace with my decision which up until that point I kept second guessing all the negative possibilities it might create. Almost 6 years in, I wouldn’t change my path in any way.   And a big congratulations for being able to make that leap toward authenticity. That is a huge milestone!   Best of luck on your journey, Susan R🌷

      I'm not sure that's quite true.  If it was done by private entities?  Like most landfills here are privately owned, as are power plants.  I can't see a reason they couldn't be combined.    Right now, garbage companies in my area harvest the methane produced by the landfill to run their trucks.  The put all sorts of pipes in among the layers of the landfill to collect it.  Compressed natural gas (CNG) can be used with only minor modifications to existing engines, and many truck stops are adding CNG pumps as some fleets transition to it.    A fuel's usefulness is often measured in BTU's per gallon.  CNG has approximately the same BTUs as diesel or gasoline (138,000 or so.)  Pure ethanol and E85 have much less - like 76,000 BTUs.

      Well, after a week on HRT, as many would probably have predicted, I've noticed exactly zero mental or physical changes. Patience appears to be the key here as hard as that will be after finally getting my transition moving. Guess I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Hope that my first blood tests after two months will show hormone levels moved acceptively.
