Sandra’s transgender

Hi All, Sandra here

 

I have been visiting Laura’s for two or three years now and must have one of the girls removed by the new software. No problem for me other than I have not been able to complete my profile. 

 

Anyhow, after reading many individuals life experiences and doing some other research, I have concluded that I am transgender and not a cross dresser. I have looked back over the last 67 years (I started cross dressing and dreaming of becoming a girl at 6 or 7) of my life and realized that there is a woman locked inside me.

 

I’ve been a successful husband and father doing all the things that society and family have expected.  I am out to my wife who would prefer having only a man around the house but accepts, to some degree, my feminine side.

 

At 73 I do not want or could afford surgery.  The important thing to me is that I have accepted myself as a woman in a mans body and I can live happily for the rest of my life this way.

 

Thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen who have shared their life struggles on Laura’s and now transgender pulse.  I do not feel alone.

 

Hugs

Hello Sandra and welcome back.  We're glad you're here.  Accepting ones self is an important step to finding balance in life. I am so I am happy for you.  It really doesn't matter how old we are.  Thats good that your wife is accepting although I'm sure she finds it difficult to understand.  My own experience and as you've probably read here, is that we really don't change too much beyond the physical aspects.  Friends have commented that beyond the initial surprise they find I am the same person.  Hopefully your wife will experience your softer side and come to appreciate the complete person you now can be.

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Sandra.  You are never too old to be true to yourself.  I'm glad you've discovered that to be true.

Welcome back Sandra.  I made a similar decision at 63 and have found that decision to open a wonderful period of my life filled with the freedom and honesty of simply being me.  Enjoy!

 

Hugs,

Hello Sandra. Welcome back. I believe that we should be who we want to be and live our lives how we want to. I've been dressing since I was 5 so like you a lifer. My SO recently learned of my dressing and my feminine side. Like yours she's accepting and tolerates me but doesn't get involved. There are so many wonderful ladies here. We are all one big family here and I'm glad to call them sisters. Hugs. Amber

      Good morning   @Ashley0616. So glad it wasn’t worse.  I did something similar when I was maybe 8. I was playing outside barefoot and stepped on a piece of broken glass. My mother zoomed into action when I told her.     @awkward-yet-sweet welcome back to the working world. Mental work is just as tiring as physical but both feel good.  It’s a different kind of tired when you wake up.   @Birdie what a beautiful young woman you were.   i made a pot since it’s Sunday. Last time for a while I’ll be grinding beans.  Somehow I messed up and bought already ground the last time.  I know I was in a bit of a rush at the time.  That just doesn’t pay.  Slow down and take the time to read the package.     at least we can use this up making single cups too.  We have a replacement for the pod holder that allows you to use ground coffee or tea leaves. I suppose herbs could be used if that’s your thing but it’s never been this girl’s.  (Like I said too conservative and goody two shoes)   Well here I sit in my sleep sweatshirt from Buc-ee’s while the dog is signaling she would like to go out.   i suppose I should finish up and get ready for the day.  And a nice one it will be. Mostly sunny high of 76.  I should go sit by the pool this afternoon.   Willow

      Neither up nor down, just being.

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
