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.

Hello, Dan!

How very nice to meet you!

If you've been here any amount of time now, you'll already have an idea of what it's like here!

It is the most wonderful place on the web for us...and that would make it the very place in the world!!!

There are so many really sweet folks here...you'll never have a problem talking to people and getting love, help and answers.

Hon, just relax and enjoy yourself!

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.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
    • April Marie
      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer
    • April Marie
      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer
