Just like it says in the topic: Hello, everyone!

I'm another one of those realized-it-very-recently trans women. I'm a late-bloomer; 40 is back thataways (points behind me). In retrospect I should have figured this out years if not decades ago, but in my case, lupus and all the complications that go with that absorbed a lot of my attention. Still does, actually, it's just that some recent breaks gave me the opportunity to realize that it wasn't all immune trouble but being trans as well.

I'm very glad to be here.

Hello, Ceri (is that right?)

Welcome to the Playground!

Oh, my...it is very nice to meet you today!

Please sit down and I'll get you some hot coco and a plate of Sally's delicious cookies.....OK?

Older?....you can even mention 40 in the same breath??...lol

Well, I'm 59 and someone else is 57 and another is 61......so you're a youngster here!

I do think that you'll enjoy being were...it's a very loving and caring place with lots of wonderful folks and everyone has an opinion!

I do hope that you have the Lupus under control! Accepting your Gender Dysphoria will take some of the stress off of you!

So, please feel free to join in and post lots and lots!

So nice to have you here!

AND bring up the last of the trio - and another is 61...... thats me! I have known about my transsexual condition forever but never had a name for it. I knew I was a girl in a male body from about age 4 or 5. As an adult I thought I just cross-dressed a little bit - well.. a lot - well... a whole lot... well... all the time! A gender specialist therapist told me what I am and suddenly it all made sense - so I have been here about five months. There are a few seriously senior people here... so

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

We are glad you are here - look around and see what interests you - post some comments, ask some questions. Tell us more about yourself.

Ceri welcome to this world of wonder..not wonder who I am because most people who get to this forum accept they have some degree of gender dysphoria and are past the denial stage so now it will be up to you to see where you are going on this journey ...best advice I can think of is .............follow your heart and listen to others and then decide where you are going and talk as often as you can to your therapist....hopefully one trained in gender dyshoria...btw I'm 64......Welcome and please keep posting......Your new friend Mia

Ceri it is--it's an old family name I always liked the sound of. My immune system is, well, it's kind of under control, like an unbroken horse that's at least in a good corral. :) But yes, for sure, acknowledging my gender already has helped--the last few months have been very productive ones as some old, old stress comes off.

Thank you everyone for the welcome! And it's really nice not to be the oldest one in the room and the last one to the party for a change. :)

      Going to the conventions has been one of my ways to deal with this stuff. 
    • EasyE
      thanks for the insight ... good to know things are being well thought-out ... it is no easy topic for sure, as many of us on here have been wrestling with this stuff for years and decades...

      @KymmieLWOW! He is absolutely horrible! Definitely one of the worst boss's. 
    • KymmieL
      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.

      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      Welcome what kind of gaming do you like?

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.
    • Sally Stone
      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.
