I Am New, Too Xd

I posted in the biographies section a longer intro of who I am and how I got here. But this might be a good place, too; in case I messed up. (I am kind of... not smart.)

I am Michael, I am 18 years old and unable to live as I want because I live with my parents, a sheltered catholic homeschooler with two younger sisters. If I try something masculine, my sisters refer to me as an 'It,' not worthy of 'he' or 'she' (That is insulting, right? It is hard to talk to siblings, I think). My father doesn't speak to me, because he found out by my mother I was suicidal for wanting to be a man. He doesn't believe in anything like that. My mother thinks it is a phase easily outwitted by antidepression meds. They mean well, I think... But...

I was looking for a support group for a long time, the only safe way I knew how--the internet. This looks like a wonderful and safe site. I hope that it is active and friendly as first impressions made, I want to say hello to all of you beautiful people :D

Hey Mike!!

Welcome to Laura's playground!!! It is so nice to have you here!! Your mother is in for a big surprise when the day comes she realizes that being transgendered is not a phase!!! Well, anyway, you should get to know NolbleLight, Leo, Pol Eire, and Zabrak. They are all about your age, and I think you guys will have a lot in common!

Welcome, Welcome, and post!

LOL

Hi Michael,

Welcome to the Playground! I am so glad you found us. You are most certainly worthy of being respected. Families can be difficult to deal with. I hope you feel comfortable to post and keep us updated about how you are doing. Everyone here is so great and supportive. It is like a giant extended family. I hope that you find the support you deserve and have been looking for here. I'm sure you will.

The Ladies will be by I'm sure to offer you pizza and other wonderful refreshments. In the mean time, have some cookies I opened and took out of the package. I'll spare you my baking. :P I look forward to getting to know you!

Hello Michael,

Do come in and sit down, I like to welcome all of our new members with some food and while the girls all seem to like the cookies and milk, most of our young men like to start out with something a little bit more - I have some fresh pizza and I was just about to fix myself a cheeseburger so if you would like one, just let me know.

We are a very close family here, we don't judge or criticize any one!

We have fun, we ask questions, we learn and we support each other.

Welcome to your new family.

Love ya,

Sally

I smell Pizza :P

Welcome to the group Micheal, you might not be able to be yourself at home right now but soon enough you will be out in this world alone and this site has lots of usefull advice for newbies. I do hope you poke around a bit and check out some of the past posts to get an idea of how you can deal with your life, in a productive way. Survival is a key aspect to all Transgendered floks and we all do our best to stand by each other in times of crisis.

Peace and Love.

Hi! Welcome! I kind of know how you feel; people tried to insult me by calling me 'it' all the time. Instead, I've just embraced it. I hope you're able to go out and start a life as the person you truly are.

Welcome Michael.

Ah the ever-so-popular it's just a phase. And you've been blessed with what seems like fundies to boot. Hope you can survive it until you can get away from there. I sympathize.

Hiyas Michael :)

Welcome to Laura's! As you can tell everyone here is very supportive and friendly.

I was just wondering if you have tired to talk to your doctor about how you feel? Talking to your doctor might be a good way to find a local support group or a therapist.

*hugs*

Welcome Welcome Welcome

Look at all those people who came to say hello! I think you finially found a home. Yes, we try to keep it as safe as possible and it is also G-rated (Laura says PG-13) so it should be easy for you to look around. And we want you to do that, look around and maybe post a question or two - or make a few comments.

Sorry about yur unsupportive siblings, it can be that way sometimes - but let us know if it gets tough! We are here for you!

Glad to meet you... Lizzy

Hello, Michael!

My goodness...I didn't get to say hello to you when you first came in and I DO apologize for that!

But I see that you're off to a wonderful start here....the people are awesome, aren't they?

I hope that things become more bearable for you ...we all do understand what you're having to deal with!

Please enjoy yourself here and make some friends!

So happy to have you!

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
