Hello everyone!

[Dragonmyst]

Hello I joined this forum so that I could talk to other transgender people. I enjoy reading a lot, and my favourite things to watch are nature documentaries.

Welcome to the Playground.  It is a good place to talk and share with other Trans* folk.  Look around and either comment on other posts, or create your own topics and ask away on questions you have.  Please do read the Community Rules at least once to help you enjoy your stay here.

Hi Dragonmyst

Nice to meet you

You will find lots of information here and people are very friendly. As Vicky said - please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions of issues we may be able to help with

Welcome!  What books do you like to read? I am a fan of science fiction and fantasy, but also history.

 

Hugs,

Hello and welcome! You will find tons of love, support, guidance and advice here. You will also find that you are not alone.

Enjoy!

I like to read Tolkien's works, some small time kindle authors that write great fiction with lgbt characters, Anne Mccaffery's dragonriders of Pern and arcorna series, and a bunch of other books. I have over five hundred kindle books, with probably a good two hundred physical copies. Books about Colditz castle are some really good history books. Also, I did make sure to read the rules before I posted.

My favorite author was Robert Asprin and his Mythadeventure series and his Phule's company series. I loved his sense of humor. I somehow found an old book on the Soviet navy in WWII. Very interesting read, but very dry. I have read the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but have not read the Simirillion (Spelling??). 

[Dragonmyst]

Silmarillian Children of Hurin was started by Tolkien, and was finished by his son. I really recommend it. It is very good.

I hope so too. I notice that in several communities people who aren't entirely sure what they are exactly or don't identify strictly within the binary aren't as welcome as others, so I'm a little nervous about joining.

Laura's is an inclusive community (we do try and make it so), everyone is entitled to their point of view, as long as posts are with in the rules. Thank you for bringing this up !

I am fine with occasional disagreements so long as they are civil,  but when the overall attitude is against non binary and questioning people, it can get a little lonely in a place where you hoped to fit in.

[Cyndee]

I hope you feel welcome here

[Dragonmyst]

I do too. Internet advice for Transmasculine people isn't always the best, so I hope to talk to other guys who have already been through transitioning will help me more. 

[VickySGV]

I am active IRL with a "fine group of pirates" in the non-binary community out here where I live.  None of them are really pirates, but some can and do steal hearts as you get to know them.  I am an older "not so binary as I may look" person who has found that since my transition I am shifting and enjoying being with the genderfluid groups of people which are generally a good deal younger than I am, but so it seems are a group of  people my age, who now have the ability to be more open thanks to the younger folks.

You now have enough posts to use our Personal Messenger system, so if you are feeling like there is something you may not be comfortable posting in the open forums, ANY of us on the moderator or Administrator staff here will listen and try to help you via the PM if we can.

Be assured Dragonmyst that there are quite a few non-binary people here. I am one of them! Outside of Laura's there is a predominently binary world so things are never straightforward, but here there are many different equal views. In any group there will be people who disagree but usually they will be understanding.

Hi Dragonmyst,

 

Welcome to Laura's! Nope, you don't have to fit within any strict binary codes here. Where ever you are in the gender spectrum is just fine with us! I've read "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings", and usually do so about once a year. I also like C. S. Lewis's Narnia stories. And I like the Harry Potter series. It's good to have you here Dragonmyst!

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf?

Welcome Dragonmyst.  This site is here to help folks find peace with themselves and share their experiences with others.  I certainly have discovered a great deal about myself since i came here.  You are certainly not alone.  Questioning is what we are all about and even if we have "answers" one hopes the goal is to help others find their path.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

[Dragonmyst]

Thank You guys it's really good to know that I'm going to be welcome here. 

[Dragonmyst]

I will have to check him out!

[Briana]

Hi and welcome Dragonmyst!  This is overall a very friendly and supportive group.  And judging by what I've read above so far, you're fitting in just fine. :-)   And I hear you regarding some groups.  Some people out there are really mean...really mean.  Miserable too I'm sure.  

[Dragonmyst]

I am really happy I found this place thank you for giving me a warm welcome.
