Just Another Introduction Thread

Hello everyone, 21-year old from California, introducing oneself.

My gender identity is probably one of the more bizzare ones, as it seems to change randomly like mood swings, and for the last ten years of my life I've shifted from ok with my masculinity to crossdresser to full-blown transsexual to maybe it's just a sexual thing to who the hell knows, rinse and repeat in random order. I haven't come out to anyone because (besides the fact that my mom is a closet homophobe) I don't know what I should be coming out AS. I don't want to go "I feel as though I should be a girl" to only come back a month later and go "yeah, that whole transgender thing, maybe I was wrong on that, I don't know."

Therapy is not possible at the moment, but probably in the near future.

Anyway, this is my first forum on the subject, so, um.... hello! :D

Now I got "Consider Yourself" from Oliver! playing in my head. :D

Welcome.

Who says you have to pick one and stick with it? The most important thing is your own happiness.

Well, picking one helps with paperwork. :P

Oh gees, that's another thing that's confused, the MP3 player in my head. At any time, I could be humming something from Rodgers and Hammerstein, Shania Twain, The Beatles, Radiohead, Motörhead, or the Ninja Turtles theme song. All through work today, I had various Scissor Sisters songs playing through my head, but coming home from work, it was "Animal Crackers in My Soup." What the hell? :huh:

Thanks for the virtual hugs, it's great to meet so many nice people here. :)

      Sorry to hear you lost both your parents young. My dad died from a heart attack when I was 10. My mom died a few years ago. I never came out, truly, to either of them, about my gender identity. On one hand it is freeing, not having to deal with “what would they think or feel about me now” but on the other hand, I wish they had truly known.

      I think a lot of us did this.

      This is fantastic, We're adding a Boxer to our family sometime this evening or tomorrow. His name is Parker. We'll be crate training him as well as introducing him to two cats that have never been around a dog.   Pictures to follow later,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I still don't understand how any queer people can vote for these people.  I'll just leave it at that.

      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      Just more of the same.  Unfortunately, I'm coming to expect it.

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      Said it is possibly ptsd and anxiety,wants a second opinion.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize
    • Mmindy
      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
