Hello & introductions!

Hello!

I'm a bit of an oddball from the Pacific Northwest (specifically, Washington state), and I'm male to female transgender.  In truth, I'm a bit non-binary, but that gets complicated; I prefer she/her pronouns, and intend to present far more feminine than I already do, but I haven't quite had the courage.  My looks and body type have been a source of discomfort for me, and I'm not very convinced I can present in a way that I'd be happy with.

I'm in my early thirties and feel like I'm truly living as me for the first time, and often wish I could rewind a decade back and start over as who I feel I really am.  It took a lot to get over my repression and have my epiphany that I was really transgender this whole time, and when I did, I was fortunate enough to have a trans girlfriend already that was completely supportive and helped me explore my identity in a safe place where I could feel comfortable.

It's been a while since I've used an internet forum, but I figured I might as well reach out and talk to more people that understand.  I wouldn't say I have a shortage of friends or community, but I also want to be able to support anyone else that may be in less fortunate circumstances than my own and give advice, a shoulder, etc. if need be.  I like helping people find themselves. :)

I'm a published writer (sort of) that's looking to do more writing and maybe end up publishing novels professionally, but for now I'm still an amateur puttering away at life and trying to find my place.

I hope to meet many wonderful people here!

Hi Wolfe, welcome to transpulse! I was 42 when I transitioned and got over the roadblocks that kept me in denial, and also worried about how I would get from "him" to me. 

 

Hugs,

Marcie

Welcome to TransPulse!  Wonderful people are definitely something you'll find here and in our chat rooms.  I'm very glad to hear you have a friend who could give you that safe space to explore things.  She and those of us here will be happy to help you take those next steps.

Thank you, Dev!

I should have mentioned earlier that I am around 2 years on HRT, though I can't say that my appearance has changed in ways that I am entirely happy with.  Mostly it's clothes and makeup that I need to work on.  I'm actually not used to caring about my appearance, at all, and 30 years of bad habits have caught up with me and are hard to break.

Tell me about it.  30 years here of not caring one way or the other about proper skin care to suddenly having a regimen?  Talk about culture shock. :P

Don't get me started!  I'm in the same boat, plus now the "normal" effects of aging.  Ahhh.

 

Anyway, Welcome aboard Ulfra Wolfe.

Don't we all; at least a decade.  But you are on your journey and that's what's important.  Please join in the conversation as we'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to Laura's Ulfra Wolfe.  The first fully transitioned person i knew was named Wolf.   You've already met Timber and i'm glad we are getting a pack.  Don't feel badly about getting a late start.  Societal pressures, live in general and my own inability to accept myself held me back until the age of 63.  The last 6 years have been a blessing.  Laura's has helped me strengthen my self acceptance.  I'm also learning to find peace with the fact that i'll never be the hot young thing i had always dreamed of.  i have to settle for being a loving grandma which i'm finding incredibly sweet.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

      I discovered her "Whipping Girl" when my egg first cracked.  It helped me understand some things.

      Good luck on selling your wife on the idea of a different car. This could be tougher than negotiating with a dealership.   My wife agreed to my taking profit out of the company to buy a used truck once we found out the 2014 F-250 I currently had with 267,244 miles on it was needing new torque converter solenoids and the DEF system is chocking up. We bought a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, Duramax 4X4, with 163,000 miles. LTZ Off Road package, power mirrors, chrome step boards, rear camera, exhaust brake, and air lift bags on the rear suspension. It belonged to a friend of mine who also owned a mobile training business.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      At the other end and in our favor is Julia Serano's analysis of the Cass Report Fiasco   https://juliaserano.medium.com/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the-perpetual-debate-over-gender-affirming-care-8f56d0c4d0c6   Serano is a Trans Woman and a molecular biologist herself, guess whose evaluation I honor.

      That's great @MaeBe hopefully the company will offer your wife a moving package with the new job position. That's how I was transferred from the St. Louis Metro area to the Indianapolis Metro area. The company covered all the moving expenses, as well as a three week stay in an extended living hotel while we chose an area to build our current home.   Good Luck and make it a happy adventure.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Birdie is the day care in charge of your MyChart, Hospital, and Doctors as to how you are cared for? There has to be some way to prove that you were born intersex and have a choice on your chosen pronouns. I wish we could do more for you. Keep pushing forward.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That's nice. I have bought all my stuff through Best Buy because I love the customer service.

      The Republicans are not interested in compromising.  Johnson will be gone for compromising unless the Dems help him out.

      Biden campaigned as the master negotiator, able to push legislation through Congress.   Whatever bill a Dem president, a Dem Senate, and a Rep House can agree on might be  more palatable than a bill with a R president, R Senate and R House given present attitudes. They are throwing away a chance.
    • Ivy
      A bill like this would never get through congress, even if it were allowed to be voted on.

      It was the only appliance that was not replaced when I bought the house.Plus I have the phone number for the scrap metal hauling guy that stops at where I work at.Called him and it will be his once I get the new stove.Told me give me a call once it is out and he will come to pick it up

      Ha, that's funny - I swear this is the one I used to use in high school to get around school blockers and play games. 😅🤦‍♀️   Though I'd be wary of using a free VPN today, if your only intent is bypassing censorship, I guess it works. Proton VPN also has a free tier with a limited selection of countries/servers. I feel more comfortable recommending them as they actively try to fight censorship with new evolving VPN protocols, and they protect your privacy. They are also directly funded by their paying customers. So there is really no downside to using their free tier over another free VPN that may not have the same goals/values.

      That sounds pretty accurate. I'm just glad I don't use Windows anymore, as I basically consider Windows itself a virus/malware. Backups can absolutely save you from some types of malware like ransomware. However it's ideal to just not get infected by having smart browsing habits. It's been said, and very accurately so, that the best antivirus is you - even the best antivirus isn't 100% accurate in detecting bad stuff, if you go out looking for that stuff or browse carelessly.   I guess if you don't care and/or don't have sensitive data on your PC, then that's fine I suppose. I personally care a lot - personal accounts, private messages, and even my very presence on this site aren't necessarily things I want to be public knowledge. 🤓🫠
