I'm a pre-op FTM, I'm 20 and British. My parents have known everything for a while but don't accept. I'm going through a difficult time right now, feeling isolated and such. I just feel that something that may help a little would be a place that I could share things I normally keep inside, with people who should understand. So here I am :)

Hey Bernie, thank you so much for such a nice welcome. I really appreciate it, I've been feeling so alone for years but it's just becoming so much heavier on me lately. Just looking around here so far has helped so much but I look forward to meeting other people too. Everyone seems really nice :)

See you around

Hey Djay,

Just like you I am FTM and your parents are just typical. Your loniless, let it go you now have friends here at the playground who do understand exactly what your going thru we have or are going thru it too. So lets all go thru it together.

Great pizza huh? Yeah its free so are the cookies Sally does alot of baking around here ain't she great. And everyonce in while Berni will be cooking up Hot Wings and Sloppy joes and if you are real lucky Stranded cooks a mean steak.

So come on in and enjoy the stay.

Peace and Love

Hi Djay,

It's been quite a while since that pizza so you should have plenty of room for some of my double chocolate chip cookies and cold milk.

Dee Jay calls them melted chocolate with a bit of cookie crumbs, but they are so good!

I am so glad tha you are here, so don't be shy you are part of such a wonderful family now, we support and help each other and just have a good time.

Ask questions, tel us what you think and just enjoy your time here.

Welcome to the forums, Djay.

Love ya,

Sally

Hey there, djay!

I already wrote you a mega-post on your thread in the FTM forum. Well...welcome to the family! You can always be yourself here!

Oh yes... Steaks. I've got t-bones, NY strip, ribeye, and filet mignon (if you are a bit more high-brow).

I've also got this fried cheeseburger, if that's more your speed. I'm going to warn you though, it's pretty greasy.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Save those virtual 'pounds' - as soon as Donna Jean figures it out -Dollars to pounds - she might send you a virtual bill!

Look around - you have a great presentation - so POST a bunch. We always need input, especially from a Brit. Too many Canadians and Texans here!

LOL

I wonder if you could slip one of those fried cheeseburgers into an envelope - no wat a hefty bag and mail it to me - it looks good!

Not Chicken Fried but not bad.

Love ya,

Sally, if it'd keep, I wouldn't mind mailing it. We couldn't get chicken fried to work, so we made something like fish batter. Frying a cheeseburger is no small task!

Lizzy, it was quite a mess. The floor was literally slippery afterward. Ever had fried dill pickles? YUM!

I have the perfect drink for after dinner, Djay - if you have the fried cheeseburger and fried dill pickles I suggest a Phillips Screwdriver - equal parts of vodka, orange juice and Phillips Milk of Magnesia!

Love ya,

One more thing since you are British. Here is a bit of Anglo Saxon. Can you translate? Oft Scyld Scefing sceapena preatum

monegum maegpum meodo-setla ofteah

egsode Eorle. syddan aerest weard

Translation:There was Shield Sheafson,scouge of many tribe

a wrecker of mead- benches, rampaging among foes.

This terror of the hall-troops had come far.

Welcome again to the forum.......Hugs to you ...DJay eat wella nd drink wine..live long and be healthy.....Mia

Herew is what a healthy meal looks like cooked tonight for me and my gal oh and by the way welcome to the family

Mia, your food is pretty. My food is less pretty. It IS shiny, but that is because of the grease.

Girls, one of you warned me about the T and heart disease. 'Tis true! Believe it or not, I do eat healthy in RL...just not all the time. When I was at the grocery store today the older lady at the checkout said that my mom must be proud of me. She said that most young men my age just come in and buy junk food. I told her that I'd make a good husband for some lucky lady because I can cook. :)

I don't really, but I lived in Germany for like 4 months. It was very challenging since I know only phrasebook German.

      Good morning   i need to watch my tlime I open and can’t be late.  I think I figured our my breakfast issue,  a big bowl of honey nut cherioos  works better than two toaster waffles   yesterday’s coffee debacle got better mine was way too weak. Wife made a cup later, way too strong,  now if we just had baby here to get it right.   ok I admit I like Sheldon tv show.  I was planning on going to bed at 8:30 when it was over not realizing it was a double episode. Watched the second too.  I wasn’t expecting that ending.  Glad I didn’t miss it. Sorry there is only one left.     it seems like the writers strike killed a number of my preferred shows. Eithe this season or next fall will end several good shows   well gatta go.  Not even proof reading today.   hugs   willow

      My experience is very similar to yours, Sally.  When I first started to socially transition I thought 'blending in' was the best approach.  It did not work AT ... ALL.  I was misgendered so often. So now I try to feminize as much as my wardrobe (and time) allows.  For 'girls' my age I believe I am far more fashionable than other women.  So, lately I have been much more successful at 'passing'. But also like you, I am not really trying to fool people.  I expect they assume I am Trans and I just hope they respect my femininity and my humanity.

      Actually, they did back at the times of the AIDS pandemic in the 80's.  Some of my slightly older than I am Gay friends were beaten up and thrown out of gender correct restrooms back then. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.

      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
    • KathyLauren
      Oops.  Sorry, @AmandaJoy, I see you have already posted an introduction. 
    • KathyLauren
      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!
