I'm not entirely sure what to say in this, but I'm aware that this is supposed to be an introduction. Well, I joined TransPulse not too long ago. Two days ago, in fact. I made an account because I wanted to talk about things with people who had a grasp of what I was saying, but I'm not very good at getting involved to begin with. And, to best this weakness of mine,  I've decided to do an introduction! Yes. That is indeed what I'm doing.

About me... I collect dictionaries? Words are fun. As are collections. I recommend Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable. Centenary edition. It was fun to read that one, and the extensive coverage of various creatures of myth and lore as well as simple phrases we hear every so often was quite enlightening. Aside from that, I've been watching anime and reading manga for several years at this point. It is an enjoyable hobby, to be sure, Gaming is also something I do. Big fan of essentially everything that has a good story. Strategy games can be incredibly fun. I like retrowave music, but genre doesn't much matter in that area. I'll listen to anything that sounds good. My favorite number is 3, my favorite color is brown, and so on and so forth.

I believe that will suffice as an introduction. I really just jumped around to things that apply to me. There wasn't anything in particular that these were supposed to cover, was there? Nor were they to be a certain length? Well, regardless, I'll still be leaving it at that. Good night. Or good morning. In any case, hello.

Welcome to Transpulse! No introduction is to short or too long. THey are always just right. Anyway, I am a fan of Anime too. Some of my favorites are Black Butler and Fairy Tail. 

Hugs,

Marcie

Welcome Ampersand.  I'm glad you've joined us and posted an introduction.  I also enjoy words although my dictionary collection is limited to a huge old dictionary that sits on my grandparents library stand next to the kitchen. Enjoy your time here as you hopefully discover somethings about your self.  I certainly have grown in understanding as i've posted and read the posts of others.

 

Hugs,

Hi Ampersand!

I'm a table top gamer, you know, old school AD&D kind of stuff! I've watched some anime, but never really got into it much. I am a fan of Asian cultures though. One of my favorite table top games takes place in a fictional Asian setting! And, as a coincidence, my favorite number is 3 as well! It's a very auspicious number in my religion!

Oh, and welcome to TransPulse! Nice to meet you!

Love and Light!

Hello Ampersand

Greeting from another word geek. I don't collect dictionaries per se but I have been reading them for fun since 3rd grade. And I have long been fascinated by etymology. The Internet has been a godsend since it was hard to find much sometimes way back when. I'll have to look up the book you recommend.

I used to game before transition but never seem to have time now. I prefer RPG on Playstation and PC. Mostly stuff like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Oblivion

My granddaughter draws manga and is into anime and manga. I'm an artist but the last few years have been mostly doing stage design and painting for a community theater. I also direct and do props - I'm sort of permanent creative director.

Please feel free to ask questions and post as much as you like. We are a diverse group and happy to help or just listen.

Johnny

      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.

      Our government is huge and could, and probably should, be streamlined. But we are living in 2024, and not the late 18th century.  The founders did provide for updating the Sacred Constitution.  And it has been done on occasion.   There is a lot going on, and I don't want to be a single issue voter.  But I feel that it is being forced on me as a matter of my survival.

      How about if we get back on topic?

      Many women my age wear their hair super-short, and I don't really have a need to have it long.  Longer in places where I can't grow it, if it is long  No aspirations to be a supermodel here.  The mustache would have to go before the wig comes if I ever did that.  I am threading a narrow path.

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      One month here. Huh.

      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      What's normal?🤪   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾😁

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow
