I guess I did have a male fail... + TimeHop

Although I don't really care for that phrase.

Anyway, a few days ago I was looking at my TimeHop phone app and it pulled up a facebook posting from 4 years ago on that specific date. What I wrote was "I guess this disguise isn't working too well because more than one person has told me they can't figure out if I'm male or female. I guess the jig is up!" It took a little more prodding on my end but that started the gears in motion to think about maybe going full time since I was already in the between genders stage.

So I guess it did happen to me, too. I either forgot or blocked it from memory, lol.

On a related note, the TimeHop app (for smartphones) is fun for anyone who's been transitioning for at least 1-2 years and has talked about it on facebook because it will pull up old postings every day and you can look back at what you were doing a year ago..2 years ago. In my case, up to 5 years ago. It's kind of awesome to casually look at it one day and realize "oh wow, on this date 5 years ago my name change was finalized" or "goodness, 3 years ago was when I had that amazing trip to the salon and was ma'am'd the entire time."

I'm getting old and my memory is fading, so it's nice to have something that remembers for you. :)

Be right back, time for Metamucil and Matlock. :P

I call it simply "old-timers". Forgetfulness is indeed a bit of a problem. Thanks for the thoughts and giggles.

Hugs,

I'm glad you went for it, Lizzie. Look at all we would have missed if you hadn't.

As for TimeHop, I'm not sure I want to be reminded of the changes from one year to another. Physically speaking, things are going from bad to worse. That's not something I need an app for. ^_^

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/judge-strikes-ny-countys-ban-female-transgender-athletes-roller-derby-rcna151806     Pretty common sense, straightforward decision.  Someone overstepped their authority - imagine that?   Carolyn Marie

      PM any or several of the Moderators or Administrators if you want to have something changed due to spelling errors, or if you simply want to have an entire post deleted.  We do not allow members to edit their own posts since there are some items we restrict from being posted.  Those things are in the Community Rules and if a Staff member has removed something because of the rules we do not want it coming back.  https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules/   Use the PM system to contact us and include a link to the post you want changed.

      No only moderators and admin can edit and delete posts.

      Do I ever feel? There isn't a single minute that goes by that I feel that way. I have such a strong hate for what I have that there isn't a word out there for it.
    • Ladypcnj
      Are members allowed to edit or delete their post? I can't delete or remove my post if there are misspelled words.

      I already tried that. Either too old like 60's and 70's or married. Not many people who would want to date a trans woman in dead red Mississippi. Maybe once things calm down just get a Mustang GT and just give up on it. Both are going to bring joy and pain. At least I could learn and share my love of cars with my kids when they get that old. I wouldn't even know what to do if someone said they wanted me. I would've already been thinking in my mind they are just going to ghost me so what's the point. I just don't know what to do anymore. I tried putting myself out there online and out in person. I haven't tried a bar yet although that's probably a bad idea. Maybe just to experience it again. I haven't been to one since 2013. The only problem I see is I'm not a night owl for sure. I go to bed at 8-830. My expectations were just that I wouldn't get rejected last. I have been able to handle a good bit of it but this one really hurt. I guess that's what happens when you have some hopes and expectations. It's not like I have another friend IRL to talk about this. She is my only one. I wished I didn't put myself out there.

      As one who had to deal with the Porn/Adult Entertainment business as commercial, taxpaying businesses on a professional level, I can say that they are in it for money and the highest percentage of their income comes from ultra conservative areas where adequate Medical and Mental Health Profession and University Science instruction on Trans issues are banned.    It makes me wonder how much porn literature is hidden behind the 13 Bibles and Bible Study guides on some people's family bookshelves.

      Do you ever feel trapped in a body that doesn't feel like yours?

      There's the old thing of getting out and getting involved in things in the community and meeting people that way. Does your church have a food pantry? Does it have service opportunities you could plug into otherwise? You might run into someone that way. 
    • Ashley0616
      Well that didn't go well. She said she is intentionally single. When will I just stop thinking about putting myself out there. It really hurt but rejection and getting ghosted is just my second language apparently. The one person I have told all my dark secrets and didn't run off. At least we are friends. I'm happy only when I'm sleeping and that is it because things actually go my way from time to time. Just another wonderful day of me. SMDH!

      In their minds, yes, unless it is clearly, consistently, forcefully articulated by those who represent trans people that we are not.  I'm not sure who that would be.

      So, this proves that we're all  pedophiles? I suspect that the majority of pedophiles are probably cis.   Yeah, Alexander the Great was probably queer.  What does this have to do with me needing to pee?   I am so tired of this ___.  I raised 8 kids and never molested any of them - unless you count changing diapers without closing my eyes.  Yeah… so tired.   It makes me wonder what is actually on these people's minds.
