Hi. Thanks to this place, I no longer feel alone.

Also, I came out to my mom- getting rid of what seemed like a lifetime of hiding and resulting angst.

She woke me up this morning, asking me if I wanted to be called "son", with the warmest look on her face. I nodded, smiled, and hugged her.

It was great.

Nice meeting you all, too. :D

Hello Brandon,

That is the happiest Introduction ever!

I am so glad that you came here.

Come on into the members lounge and sit here in my recliner - careful you don't fall asleep, I always do.

I'll get you some pizza to celebrate your arrival at the forums and your mother's wonderful acceptance.

Welcome to the forums, look around, post questions, make observations and make friends.

They will be here pretty soon once the smell of fresh pizza hits the playground.

Welcome to the friendliest place on Earth.

Love ya,

Sally

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Hey - best news in a long time! Oh that is so great about your mom! You just gotta post and tell us all about it and then keep us updated. Others in your situation aren't always so fortunate and have a hard time being accepted. Your being there would really help them!

So glad to meet you!

GREAT news!

      @Adrianna DanielleI'm sorry I was raped too so I know the feeling.

      I hear you. My therapist moved to another job at the VA.  I liked her a lot and was very comfortable with her. Now I have an appointment with a new one, but not till June.  I asked for the first one to be in person.  I think I'll be able to see what she's like better that way.

      Hi Mealaini (what a beautiful name),   I applaud this attitude; I think that is such a healthy way to look at your situation. I have an ex-wife (who also has a beautiful Gaelic name) and we are such great friends now, having broken up, that we both agree our relationship has never been so healthy. She has found a man she loves; I don’t know if they will last indefinitely but I like him and he likes me and there are no hard feelings between any of us.  Anyway welcome, and thank you for sharing your story. I have been thinking of trying EMDR myself so it’s good to hear a success story.

      I was in the field artillery in the early 70's.  At times we had to hump ammo.  A projo weighed around 200lbs.  There were very few women, they seemed to be mostly in the medical roles.  I suppose if you were openly trans, you'd have been kicked out for being gay. But I suppose things are a lot different now.  There are more technical jobs for one thing.  One of my daughters was in the Air Force for a number of years.  Started as an "airman", and came out as a captain (nurse).

      Reading your post, I need to comment I have breast forms and sometimes get a chance to wear them to bed. But wearing my lingerie they always fall out so I wear a more full coverage bra to bed so they stay where they are meant to!

      That's horrible

      This would be a nice place to start by introducing myself to everyone, I already graduated from high school, and some college. I played the piano when I was younger, and I played in some bands. I used to take walks along the sandy beach, while collecting rocks and seashells along my way, I guess that would be the mermaid side of me.  I like fashion clothes shopping, and spending time with my close friends and family. I'm an online administrator from my own website in the community, and group facilitator in the lgbtqai+ community. It's nice to meet new friends here, and whatever help I can be I'm here for you.

      Very simple tonight. My wife and I devoured 1kg of honey & soy marinated chicken wings!

      Same here. Shaving my legs would be the natural next step for me, but my wife is also disapproving of it and I'm not really desperate enough to force the issue. What does give me hope is the thought that if I did shave them, my wife might actually like it, especially during times of intimacy, and she might then demand that I keep my legs clean shaven after that! I guess it's a bit of a fantasy. She has accepted that I will shave them one day just for an experiment, so we'll see what happens after that.   In the past, I've thought about what might appear to be selfishness too and came to the conclusion that I'm not. Rather, I'm non-committal, and I am that way because of my comparative lack of illness-inducing dysphoria. Nothing about me needs fixing, so there is nothing preventing me from continuing to have the best of both worlds either. It's apparent that we are dealing with a similar issue in different ways though. The main difference between us, I think, is that I am the simultaneous type of bi-gender (if indeed that's what I am), and I deal with it by presenting myself a bit androgynously, rather than either/or.   @Sally Stone, aspects of your story are eerily common to my journey. I can hardly wait for the next instalment!

      Well my wife's mind hasn't changed. As she shared an anti-trans post on facebook yesterday. I just hope she still ok with me.   Decided that starting in June I am going to do in-person appointments with my therapist. I don't have to, I just want to. If asked why at work. It is to work with both the out going and incoming therapist.   Strange how someone can become so much an important person in your life in such a short time.    Hugs, Kymmie

      Sometimes. There have been times when I should take my own advice but dealing with my demons can be very difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

      Therapist appointment later on today! Smiles!
