Hi, I'm new here. I was born female, and I'm not sure just yet if that was correct or not. For now, I'd like to go by "Kiler". I am 15. I am using the name "Javey" on here because Kiler was already taken. Javey is a nick name, long story behind it. But i don't mind if you call me by that either. Whatever works. I'll know who your talking too. I am vegan. Music and writing are my over all passions. I just came out with a Demo CD. I am also into theatre, activism, punk rock fashion (I am actually about to come out with my own clothing store, everything is %100 unique and %90 recycled), the list of my activity's and interests go on.

Making an account to use the forums is a big step for me. I started questioning my gender a little over two years ago. I actually wished i was a boy on and off before that, but was not in pain or really recognized the feeling.

I've been very secretive about it, no one knows I'm questioning my gender. (Until tomorrow, but more on that in a bit.) I finally decided that hiding under clothes in the closet wasn't going to get me anywhere. So by joining and making the choice to talk about it, I've thrown the clothes off and cracked the closet door a bit. Its nice, i can breath now cos' of the fresh air coming in. Its not so stuffy in here anymore, hahaha. :rolleyes:

This website so far has really helped me, even answered some questions. Big thanks to those who run it. One of my major problems was deciding whether i was a boy or girl. But i came across this site, and now I'm thinking i might be in the androgyny scene. I was reading a reply to a post on here, and someone said it was a matter of finding your "Comfort zone" Some people are 1's, some are 5's, some are 10's. I'm still figuring everything out. The gender i feel comfortable with changes from day to day.

I plan on taking another big step tomorrow and telling my therapist about my questioning. Like i said, NO ONE knows and i am very secretive about it at the moment. I also plan on taking another big step and telling my best friend. I know he'll support me, but its still scary. I'm ready to tell some people, and those are the people i have chosen to tell first (and everyone on here, of course).

Almost all of the people in my life would support me if they knew. Anyone who didn't probably isn't really worth having around anyway. I grew up in a hippie gay rights activist home, and the majority of my friends think thats really cool.

My mom is one of the people i am really worried about, because i am afraid of hurting her. She wanted a girl so bad, and I'm not so sure thats what i am. But more on that another time.

Anyway, thats me. Nice to meet all of you.

Hello Javey,

Welcome to Laura's Playground. We're glad that you found us. I agree that you should talk to your therapist. You will get answers to a lot of the questions that you have. Good luck.

I wish I had the same thoughts as you; I wouldn't be afraid of losing my best friend. At the moment, he'd throw himself in front of a bus to save me, but he is the biggest homophobe I have met in my entire life. This goes way beyond anything he has ever thought of. I would say he's almost like a brother, so I can't really say that anyone that doesn't accept isn't worth having as a friend.

I am also new to the site, but going through the exact opposite process. I am more than willing to give you tips on acting male if you would like. The charade is nowhere near as tough as relearning how to act as a female will be. Then again, I've had to act male my entire life, so I eventually grew accustomed to it. I wouldn't say no to advice, but then again, there are entire threads devoted to that.

Either way, welcome to the site, and i look forward to learning about this alongside you. :)

Hey Javey,

Welcome to the forums!

Pizza is great anytime of the day, especially cold for a midnight snack!

Good Luck with the clothing store!

You have a lot of interests, music and writing are two of mine also.

Enjoy your time in the forums and leave that pile of clothes in the closet.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Kiler, I'm new here too. I'm about your age, but I'm MtF. Hopefully I'll see and get to talk to you in the teens forum and such later! ^^

I have a best friend who's something like that. A brother to me; but not too thrilled with the idea of anything noncisgendered or nonheterosexual. He's been getting a lot better though lately. Hopefully things work out for you too.

Hey Javey,

Welcome to the playground. As you can see we are all pretty much alike, we have people in our lives that try to understand and then there are the ones who don't. But everyone here does and you can make yourself at home here with new friends.

Peace and Love Dan

Well, being in the activist scene, I've learned that at times getting someone closed minded to an idea to rethink something can be like trying to eat soup with a fork. And at other times, easy as vegan cookies. It really depends on the person your dealing with. I've convinced a few homophobes to be more accepting of others. I'll make you a deal, gimme some guy tips and I'll give you some coming-out-to-the-homophobe-best-friend tips ;) If he's willing to throw himself in front of a bus for you, I'm sure he can spare some time to think over his views on gender. I do stuff like this in my spare time, some of my input might help a little.

Nice to meet you, thanks for the warm welcome! This site seems to be VERY friendly.

      @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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Ivy, I'm still holding on to hope that we won't separate/divorce because I can only imagine how much you miss your wife.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good afternoon, and welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums.   As I'm sure you noticed while looking through the forums. You're not alone in your feelings.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Marriage complicates things.  We think we know someone… but then we don't. My ex supports me, but we're certainly not married.  She actually took me out for dinner a couple days ago. But if I said I didn't miss her it would be a lie.  That part is still hard. The hard truth is I had to get away from her, to have the freedom to find myself. Maybe it won't be that way for y'all.

      Thanks April Marie & Timi for the warm welcome.

      Kymmie, it's hard to think of her as an ally when she's still re-posting anti-trans information. On the flip side my wife is supportive of everyone else in the LGBTQIA community, and reluctantly supporting me.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      OMG @Lorelei! I hope you have some time today to do something kind for yourself! That sounds so stressful.    -Timi

      So nice to read your introduction, @Ladypcnj. Welcome!   -Timi

      I'm sorry you and so many others in the military, were assaulted and bullied, just for being who you are. I'm glad that you've seen your old therapist and seem to be better since 2001.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Sally Stone This is a great thread and resonates with me as well. Please keep it going!   +1 on leg hair. Mine basically stopped growing on its own in my early 30s (cause unknown), but I prefer the look. Was never comfortable with body hair.

      One FB post from an old friend who lives 250 miles away and has no idea of any of this, and a news article this morning about someone with multiple mental problems  assert that transgender people are controlled by demons.   Me not happy.  Can't reason with some people.
