Hello! So.. I just found this site today and have been looking around for a few hours when I decided I should make an account and the email said I should introduce myself so here I am.

So.. I'm Amelia. I'm 19 years old and am currently going to Devry for a degree in Game and Simulation Programming (GSP).

At first I wasn't sure if the way I felt was right or if I was too young but a few months ago I saw an article about a girl named Kim in Germany who start her ... Journey? at 12 and I was really inspired by it.

This is actually the first time I've ever told anyone.

I think my parents would be okay with it. Since I've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend my mom thought I might be gay and has told me numerous times that it was okay if I was. I would hope that still holds true to this situation as well.

All of my friends seem pretty excepting of people. I'd like to talk to my best friend Chris about this if I can get up enough nerve when he comes back from basic training.

Umm... I guess a little about what I like now... Hmm...I like playing computer games and... watching anime. I also Tabletop Role Playing Game with a group of my friends (Female characters of course :D )

So.. I guess that's all I have to say for now. Thanks all for listening!

Hello Amelia!

Welcome to the Playground!

How about some nice hot chocolate and some cookies while we talk....OK?

The fire feels good, don't it?..I sure like it....and I think you'll like it here with us..it's a place where you can be yourself and no one will be mean and you'll be safe because we keep it that way!

So...going to learn simulation game making?....Good...

Welcome to LAURA's

Yeaaaaaaaaa

You have just found a great place to be. Two of my good friends have already said hello and a big bunch of others should be here soooooon.

Lotta people JUST like you here - and a lot about your age, and they can help you discover more about yourself. You DO need to tell your parents, Be careful in telling too many others at first until you see what is going on, gender dysphoria is complicated.

So WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Hi Amelia, welcome to the forums.

19 is not too young, definitely, though it's still a good thing to transition early and 19 is pretty early in North America (Thailand kathoey transition younger, but are literally culturally encouraged to do it).

My parents also thought I might be gay. Until I came out actually. I came out 4 years ago. I transitioned 3 years ago.

I also like anime, computer, console and tabletop games.

I'm playing a tabletop with a friend and his housemate and some of his other friends.

I'm playing this petite girl healer-type character who has much of my child persona's traits. And a very cute pony (I joked to my friend's housemate that my pony was prettier than his horse, we rolled dices, and it turns out my pony IS prettier :P) to boot. She is only 4'6" and 65 lbs. 16 years old but appears 9 (and ages 1 year per 25 years). It's not D&D, I'm not sure of the game name.

That sounds fun, The game I play is called "Exalted".

I play a fairly creepy looking (blood red hair with jagged teeth) "necrosurgeon" (Like necromancers but more scientific) named Riina, I even resurrected myself a daughter <3

Even tho she's a necrosurgeon I try to be nice to people. Being mean gets you in trouble excessively fast in exalted.

      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.
