Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Dan, I am 45. I knew when I was very young that something just wasn't quite right with my body. I did everything I could do be more like the person I felt I was than the one I was born as. Living with being a man inside a female body has been the toughest road I think a human can endure. Especially since where I grew up in the Great Plains Area there really was no resources of any kind to look to for help. It is hard to have a full blown relationship with anyone when no one understands. I come from an area where most everyone is in the closet about transgender issues. So I am hoping to find some new avenues of support. Well I guess I will add more later just wanted to say hi. :mellow:

Hi Dan and welcome, i think after you read some posts you will find you are by no means alone, there are quite a few transitioners here older than you, I'm 57 and MtF. Seems everyone i have talked to knew at an early age and struggled their whole life.

Thanks to all of you for making this a little bit easier to get use to still trying to find myself around the site and yes I keep getting a bit lost here. But in time I am sure I will figure it all out. So far my visits here have been eye opening to the fact I now know I am not alone in my transition. At least here I feel I am understood, where the rest of the world would rather close a blind eye. Thanks again my new friends for the warm welcome. :D

Welcome, Welcome. My name is Lewis, and I'm the awesome-est FTM on here. ;) (the name says it all.) I'm always sniffin around and postin on the FTM forum. I have a blog I just made, that I'm working on turning into a guide for FTMs, http://lewsftmguide.blogspot.com/ , I think the next posts I put up in there will be about work outs, and diet. (I find if I write about it and give other people advice about it I have to stick with my advice and not be lazy. ;P) And I'll probably do a post about coming out, now that I think about it. So feel free to refer to there for basic stuff. If you have any questions feel free to post them in the FTM forum, and we'll be glad to answer them. *hands you some slightly more nutritious egg salad sand which* Feel free to drop me a message sometime.

      Do you actually believe that the republican congress would vote for trans rights?  That seems to be the one thing left that they actually are united on.   I'm not convinced Biden is "destroying" the country.  I'm not a big fan, actually. However, since the stated goal of the Republican Party is my elimination (2025), I wouldn't be able to enjoy the coming conservative paradise anyway.  My survival as a free trans woman is kinda on the ballot.  So call me a "single issue   voter" it's out of necessity.   I stand by my original statement.

      I'm sure I'm not the only one who think this way, I've been listening to what people had been recently saying, wondering why is he so hard on the Lgbt + community? Maybe there is something he's not telling?

      I am concerned about what Trump will do to the transgender community. One group of his supporters are evangelical Christians. I want to emphasize that not all of these Christians are non-supportive, but there are a lot. When you add that transgender people are being singled out as a punching bag for many politicians, our lives become more in jeopardy. We need to stand up and fight back. We have a right to the same freedoms as everyone else.

      Welcome back.

      My name is Jennifer, and used to be a part of this forum, going back to Laura's' Playground. I already know quite a few of the people here. I started transition about 15 years ago. My  gender markers are changed with Social Security and birth certificate. The reason I am returning is I believe I can help guide newer members through the pitfalls of their transitioning experience.   I lived in Arizona, and now live in Maine. And the first thing I want to emphasize is where you live can matter a lot. In Maine, I work in a hospital, and find many of my co-workers very accepting. I find the women more understanding and enjoy my journey more. Of course, this is a small sample, and your mileage may vary.    What I found as one of the most important topics when choosing a place to live. I found only one transgender doctor who understands, or is willing to monitor my HRT. But, he has stopped his regular practice and only sees some of his regular patients on Wednesday mornings. He has changed his career and teaches residents the rest of the week. He told me he wanted to teach other doctors how to work with transgender clients. This subject is woefully lacking in Medical School. I was using the transdermal patch, and we agreed to switch to estradiol valerate. He is working on more feminizing my body. I don't doubt he will be supportive when I decide to go through my surgery, hopefully next year. I will be on Medicare and they support surgery, if it is considered medically necessary.    That is enough for now, and I appreciate this site for all the help with transgender support.   Jennifer

      trump only knows how to tear down and destroy. Actually doing something positive and building anything up seems to be beyond his grasp. It's such a a shame that so many people are so bent on trump's hatred and anger. Unhappy people all ☹️

      We have customers real picky,I have a couple old bed sheets that I put over the seats.I order the paper floor mats that used and new car dealer use put on the floor.One customer,will complain if he sees a grease mark and knows it is not from me.

      Not sure how you think that Trumps edicts will not make it through the courts. He owns them too. I can see Trump nominating Alina Habba to the Supreme Court. The Rs have already tainted the states with anti-trans legislation. Unless there is a huge blue wave in November that nobody sees coming, we will continue to be harassed. I am resigned to the fact that one day, we could be rounded up, and that is that. I would just as soon get it over with. All of the machinations about Trump breaking the law, and all of the punditry occurring in the media, is for naught. This guy has outclassed any efforts of organized crime to avoid punishment. It truly is amazing to watch how he mesmerizes members of his own party into being mindless.

      Not everything Trump tries will make it through the courts.  I think Biden is blowing it big time in not trying to get trans-friendly legislation through Congress but instead he's relying on easily reversed regulations.     The DOE should be abolished. I agree. Hopefully that will happen.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Not everyone is a single issue voter.  If you are convinced Biden is destroying the country as a whole and Trump is not, you may well vote for Trump.

      This should be a reminder to everybody that the president is not the legislature. Anything done by one president, can be undone by the next one. It just goes back and forth.   As for title IX, I'm against it. Not because of the protection that offers, but because I am against Federal involvement in education.  I would love to have a president and A legislature that would abolish Department of Education at the federal level. Even the states version of it is bad enough. Education is a local issue.

      Hi Ashley, hopefully things will get better in time for the community.

      "Defam ation of character" means to make false statements about a person, to cause ruin to a person's reputation, which what happened to me. Your right, there is little I can do about other than visiting websites where I feel welcomed.
