Suzanne becoming Full of Stars

Guest Suzannefullofstars

After two years only reading here it`s time to try bring some back.

I start with a copy of my introduction that tells my story in short.

Still discovering experiences and trauma`s from the past I am slowly becoming a happy woman surrounded with beautyfull people and leaving behind the bad ones.

Here`s my introduction post from last week, I have to cry when I read it back.

It brings so much pain and happiness it`s unbelevable that that`s me and my life.

I`m Suzanne, Dutch, Married to my lovely partner Nancy, two great kids 10/15, working in entertainment and business events as stage/video technician, we own our little beauty center/spa, and since I started transitioning our lives have becoming full of stars.

(Taken that coming from pure hell @ begin of 2012 and years and years before i still can`t believe how lucky one can get)

I`m legal now, all paperwork is done, full time since march, therapy ended also in march. (Two psych`s for two years, 1 regular, 1 TG, 2 groups with sisters, and lots of therapy together with my love)

I was ready to start hrt in march so that`s now almost six months and besides a huge energy drain that now is fading away all is going as I hoped and planned.

For the first time in my 49 years i am becoming me, and nothing can`t stop me anymore.....ever!

As I said, we went thru pure hell and back to end up as happy as we are, Nancy was the strong one pulling me through those dark times and willing as me to risk it all for a better life.

I have read laura`s for 2 years, learned from it, soaking up all nice and bad experiences, but never asked for help because i wanted to find my own way trough this difficult transitioning and become the pure me that is still growing every day. And ....oh my.....it`s becoming beautyfull and full of stars.

We had our losses, my family could not cope with this and I had to shut them out of our lives.

But i think most of you know how it goes, especially when god comes in the way.

Why register now here?

Well now i am mostly done with the intense "selfish" part of my transition there is room, time, and energy to try and hopefully give a little something back to my sisters in sometimes heartbreaking situations.

I have been there, deep in the dark, staring death in the eyes, calling for it......

I was lucky with my guardian i am married with who took over those times, and i realise not everyone has this backup.

I surely don`t think i know it all, every morning i am getting ready for a long possible difficult day, my mind is sometimes overflowing with fears, sometimes low on energy from the start, wanting to be a normal female, I don`t really pass yet, working on my voice, my ugly man-face, laser, doc`s, name it.

It`s still a very long way, but i know the way now and nobody or nothing is keeping me from following it.

It`s my last and only way to true hapiness.

........

Thats it for now, i am now having a not so good day but tomorrow will be better, if not i will make it better and if i can make only one of you happy with this thread than that will be my goal.

Cheers! Suzanne

How wonderful for you Suzanne! You are a shining star!

What an amazing time of transition the last 2 years have been. The Year of the Snake truly lived up to its name and the changes have been nonstop since.

"I have been there, deep in the dark, staring death in the eyes, calling for it......" That gave me chills as I was just thinking about that time of my life tonight. There was a time when my female self gave up and there was nothing left of me but gears and wires. It was my faith that was my salvation, and my Goddess the guardian...



But that's my story, not yours. Hope you are still doing well!

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).

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.

      Welcome to the forums, M.A. Duh . . . more questions came up for me,too--but I'm finding they don't have to be solved all at once. One thing at a time as I ask for help works for me. Keep coming back.  —Davie

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.
