Katelyn

Recommended Posts

Hello there, 

 

I go by the name Katelyn, but only to those that know about this side of me, only when dressed and mostly only and a character name in games I play. 

 

I tagged myself as a cross dresser because it feels like the right tag for where I am at eight now,  but I have this jealousy of cis girls, these mental "if only" moments in which I want nothing more than to be a woman. 

 

I was a member of Lauras-playground.com some time ago and just went through a few stages and notions in my life that slowly pulled me away. Funny how you feel like you've found yourself and you're accepting this side you have, then suddenly you go back to being partially happy with being a man. Then a while later, bam right back to feeling confused and uncertain. 

 

Recently I decided to take down my big box of lady like items and get dressed. If only I knew what the rest of the night had in store for me... A story for another thread. 

 

Anyhow, I look forward to meeting and talking to everyone. 

 

Thank you for reading.

Good to see you Katelyn.  I certainly remember putting my "lady things" away only to take them out again.  This journey with gender is an interesting one that often seems to take a different course.  Hope to hear more of you journey.

 

Hugs,

Hi ladies, 

 

Thank you for welcoming me back. I will try to participate when I can. I recently signed my contract for a new job and resigned from my current so I will be busy learning the ropes and adjusting for a while which may rob me of time.

 

Exciting times ahead though. Next step in my career is to change from an IT technician to a motorcycle sales person. 

 

This gender that doesn't feel a certain way solidly all the time kinda boggles the mind. I will definitely be putting all that and some questions on the forum.

Hi Katelyn,

Welcome back. Many of us have set aside the girl (or boy if f2m) for a time for one reason or another. I'm glad you're here!

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Hello Katelyn and welcome back!  Its quite common to go through stages of ebb and flow.  Sounds like you didn't purge your clothing.  Thats good.  Don't be alarmed about the strength or lack of your feelings about your gender.  we are all different and no life path is wrong. 

 

Best of luck in your new job.  What brand of motorcycles are you involved with?  I recently sold my Suzuki 1100 so I'm without.  

 

Cheers, Jani

Yes, when previously I was a member of Lauras-playground I read often about either the regret of purging or advise against it, which helped me decide to rather store for now. Fortunately the things were also expensive in totality so I felt it would be silly to just throw it away or donate it. Sadly I gained some weight since last I wore my things. Good time to look for more bike appropriately clothing though. Dresses and skirts don't quite agree. 

 

I ride a 2016 Honda VFR 800 F. I believe it's known in some countries as an interceptor 800 F? Maybe it's better to say I used to ride since she's at a tow yard now and I don't know if she'll make it back or be written off yet. Anyhow, I'm starting at a BMW motard dealership soon. I am looking forward to it. If I could, I would buy myself a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R. The bike I like the most personally.

Yes that would be the Interceptor.  I'm sorry to hear of your accident and that your machine might not make it.  I've ridden a number of Beemers and enjoy them.  I hope you enjoy your new job.   The mid-size Ninja is a good bike, nimble and quick!

Right? Let us not forget it is also sexy. The bigger they get, the bulkier they look and I don't like that. Thus why the 600 specifically. The 1000 is still okay but it doesn't look quite as nice in my opinion. 

 

In a way I hope to get my bike back though. She's pearl white, rides comfortably long distance and, well, she's mine. Named her Katsumi. Closest name I could find that apparently means Victorious Beauty in Japanese. 

 

BMW makes se good bikes but those headlights... Why?!

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.

      TBH, I have no idea where to start with makeup.

      It seems plain to me, that this thing is simply a cherry-picked excuse to persecute trans people - especially trans youth in the UK.  And it will also be used here in the states to legislate against trans care here as well.   The right wing has already made up their mind about us, and they are just looking for "evidence" to legislate against us.     Seems like if they were really for "freedom" as they claim, they would leave us alone to live in our personal "delusions".   I mean, I have no problem with cis people.  Some of my best friends are cis people.

      I am so happy with Maybelline products. For my basic needs, I love their Magic Eraser. I used the app to dial in the best shade and it works great just -- even as a very light "foundation"

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!

      For me, with my former therapist, it was almost more like a frog in a pot slowly coming to a boil - I don't think either of us realized the scope of what we were dealing with until fairly recently. And she helped me find my new practitioner, which was incredibly helpful too <3 It feels very strange and new - I've framed this, whatever this is, as 'being bad at being female' for literal decades, since puberty really, and the idea that maybe it's not my fault, that I've never done anything 'wrong,' is a little overwhelming.
