Well, I'm New

[Guest DaJe]

I'm not really sure what to say about myself. I've just started thinking more about certain things, and working towards certain goals, and felt like coming to a place like this for support and just people to talk to about everything.

I'm so bad at this whole thing

Anything you guys would like to know about me?

[Guest Saralynd]

well, first of all, HI nice to meet you . Your gender selection says Not saying so my nosy curiosity immediately wonders where you fall as far as gender goes, but you probably have reasons for not saying :x so please never mind me lol

Well, I chose that because I don't really know what to say. I'll say I was born a boy, and am trying to become more like a girl. I'm not sure if I should just call myself whatever I feel like, and aside from that, I'm still unsure on some things I'd want to do as well. So I'm just confused and don't know what I am >_>

Hey DaJe,

welcome to the Playground, hope u like it here.

[Guest DaJe]

Well I guess that everyone here is friendly enough for me to talk to . I guess I'll start telling more about myself, though I'm not sure where to start. Well, i guess I'll tell more about what's been happening recently. For a while, I've always at least thought of more more girly. Not necessarily being a girl, but at least being more girl-like. As time went on, it became more of a stronger thought, and started to develop into even more. Like 2 months ago, I started having some despression issues and all that. Didn't want to do anything or go anywhere, and had moodswings every single say. I went and saw my psychiatrist, and he helped me out with some of what I was feeling. After that, I started feeling better, but still occasionally got depressed.

I decided that like half of what I was feeling, was just my own issues of feeling stuff like I normally do, and that was taken care of, but that the other hald was I was just thinking and worrying too much about stuff. What I was thinking about so much was me becoming more girl-like. I decided that this was an issue that could only go away if I started talking to someone, so I looked around and tried to find a good doctor to see. I found a nearby psychologist, who treats stuff like depression and anxiety, but also advertised herself as having a client base which was 1/3 transgendered people. So she seemed like a good idea. Well, I didn't do that right away, I tried talking to my parents first. It took a while for my mom to exactly undersatnd more what I wanted, but once we finally made the appointment, she started to understand more, and says she supports me with whatever I feel the need to do.

So far, I've had one appointment with that doctor, and have my next one in a week. I've made progess, but it's still hard on me sometimes. It also still makes me depressed a little sometimes, but that's because I just keep worrying about it. And I also worry about getting everything I want done, and get it all done right. I keep worrying that if I wait too long, things might not be best. Like, I feel like taking a testosterone blocker or something soon, because I have stuff like a very young face, and no body hair and stuff like that, and if I do it now it'll help a lot. I also sometimes feel unsure about what I want. Sometimes I feel like I really want to make myself like a girl, and other times I feel like I just don't care.

But anyways, I'm sort of half rambling, but I'm also not sure exactly what I'm trying to say. But there's a brief idea of where I'm at right now with dealing with all of this. Hopefully it's not too depressing

[Guest ~Brenda~]

Hey DaJe,

We all go through periods of doubt and uncertainty. I think it is wonderful that you are taking the responsible step of seeing someone about your gender identity and your feeling of depression. Simply keep exploring who you are and listening to your heart. You will find your way!

Hi and welcome DaJe.

You shouldn't feel bad about whatever gender selection you choose, no one will police that choice. Choose the one that most reflects who you are.

I chose 'female' even though I was born legally male and am still pre-operative. I also have an intersex condition which complicates matters (or makes it easier, depending on the angle). I choose female on any site wether they have a comprehensive pro-trans or pro-intersex choice or not. I prefer to explain it one-on-one if its even needed (that is mostly on dating sites, asking on places like a gaming site would be considered rude).

That is because I live and experience myself as female and nothing else.

To each their own, and everyone should feel free to define who they are and be at ease with that choice. I hope you find more about yourself and decide which category (including non-categorical ones like androgyne or neutral, if that's the case) may be for you.
