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

 

Hugs,

Marcie

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??).

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.

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. :(

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.

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,

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.

      Hello (Introduction of sorts)

      By Susan R · Posted

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      hi there - introducing giz !!

      By Susan R · Posted

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Susan R · Posted

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      Transfeminine singing voice

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Desert Fox · Posted

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      Trans Woman Murdered In Washington State

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      What's for dinner?

      By KayC · Posted

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
