Hello everyone,

I am trying to come to grips with who I am. I was born male but have always had conflict with my gender, and am trying to come to grips with myself. Before I share anything with my family, I would like to undergo any kind of tests possible to check hormone levels, etc, that can show my family that I am not just making it up. Any suggestions?

Hello Yazat,

Welcome to Laura's Playground. A doctor should be able to check you for hormone levels. Sessions with a gender therapist would help also. Good luck. :)

Hi Yazat- With my own experience, I was so confused no test would prove any thing to any one not even my self! With help from loved ones I found a gender therapist, after three month it started to come clear who I was after 59 years!

If you can find a test for trans let me know we can get rich!!! Very nice to meet you and this is a wonderful site to read and explore- I love this place! Eden

Welcom home. You will figure it out. Study all things female from start to finish and see for yourself how you may fit in your puzzle. You can stop and rest at any point you feel most comfortable. All your own research will help and a good gender therapist plot were you are on your very own gender map.

We are all finding out individually and collectively that gender is a spectrum not a binary. The pink and blue checkerboard just doesn't really fit. Maybe you are a blue and pink swirl. Giggle. You can have fun here exploring that. Hug. JodyAnn

Welcome Yazat1990, Definitely find yourself a good gender counselor. Often hormone levels don't show anything being wrong or anything really conclusive. The therapy will help in a myriad of other areas too. Best wishes to you and again welcome.

Oh and remember, humans are attracted to humans, socially and sexually. Labels and stereotypes are not healthy for anybody. Unfortunately pidgeonholers are for the birds. Avoid those buzzards. Jody

Hi Yazat, and welcome! Make yourself at home, feel free to explore, and the same goes for our lives- we should feel at home in our selves, and free to explore just who we are.

I do not know of any medical tests, but my gender therapist was a huge help in knowing I wasn't just off on some crazy scheme (again...). Also finding some live support from the community so you can see and talk with our predecessors.

First priority was to figure out what the right path was. Then, is it feasible? For me the path was transition, so theres job, social, medical, and a whole raft of other variables I need to be able to cope with. After I was fairly certain (I've only met 1 person who never doubted her transition-I still have my doubts) that I should, and could, and decided I would, then I started to tell my family.

So, good luck on your journey!

Hi Yazat,

Welcome to the playground! Self knowledge comes slowly sometimes, but the subject is so interesting, relax, and learn. I am still discovering so much about myself. Good luck.

Hello Yazat, good luck on your journey and welcome. It took me years to approach help so you are already ahead of the curve. Pay attention to the advice you see here it could serve you well. A license professional on this subject is the first best choice you can make when you are ready. Smile's... Sarah

      Many "red" or "blue" states are not monolithic.  NC splits something like 49-51.  Actually, about 1/3 Rep, 1/3 Dem, and 1/3 nonaffiliated.     Since the legislature makes the districts, they favor the Rep to a 1 vote super majority.  Our Governor is Dem, and Dems can win statewide elections.   Of course you'd never know that with what is coming out of the statehouse lately. My point is that the "shifting" is not really shifting, it only reflects the actual population of the state.   When I was growing up I used to hear it said that "changing her mind was a woman's prerogative."  I embrace that.  I am fine with changing my mind when I want to.  Things change, sometimes we need to change as well.  I don't consider that as "unstable" - just not dead yet.

      Good morning everyone,   I’ve been working on a few projects and my internet screen time has been very low. Today is Primary Election Day for Indian voters. I will be voting later, but the most important thing I’m looking forward to is the reduction of political advertising. Let’s get back to regular daytime advertising which reminds me of the need for hearing aids, Medicare choices, and comfortable catheters. Heaven forbid I would need an accident injury lawyer to get me the big check. Only daytime TV can take a 30 minute show from the 1980s and make it into an hour long series. I really don’t watch that much TV because I prefer to listen to music while I’m in the shop or doing yard work.    The coffee is good, the morning songbirds are loud as they forage for their hatches.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I pretty much started out what some would consider as the androgynous phase of childhood puberty. Being the youngest sibling in my family, I was mostly seen wearing boy clothes at the time. As I explained earlier about my parents not showing me my birth certificate until later on in life, in the meantime before that happened, my daddy always wanted a boy/son in the family. It's been a long time, when I first started menstruating, it was a turning point in my life, followed by a series of car ride returns to the emergency room, patient profiling, and misdiagnosis.      From that moment my parents had stopped saying I was going through a phase. One night at my parents' home during midnight hours, they thought I was asleep, but I saw their bedroom light was still turned on. Out of curiosity,  I tip toed to their bedroom's door as I listened in on their conversations, it was the first time I heard my parents questioned about the gender marker on my birth certificate wither a hidden variation involved in my development.

      Good morning   weii I’ve read some good news here this morning    Yes the ancient Roman symbol was used on some coins. The Mercury dime come to mind. It was showing our fighting might.  Arrows and a fighting axe.  I realize few people recall the Mercury dime.  My 6th grade swore there was no such thing so I brought him one.  He had promised a dollar if I could prove it which I did. Then he tried to Welch on the bet. The entire class got on him and he had to give me the dollar.  Ah, the little things we still remember from over 60 years ago.  Like today as a i was cutting a banana for my cereal I recalled my grandfather doing the same for me about 70+ years ago.   well instead of a 9 hour day I have an 8 hour day scheduled then there is that stay a little longer to do X.
