Good evening everyone, 

I am was born male and am seeking to transition to female. Apart from my VERY close social circles and with my psychologist, this is the first time i've said it out loud. I started to accept that I might be transgender a few months ago and have been taking my time and trying different things. Trying on cloths, bra shopping, doing plenty of research. I am at the point where I would like to start pursuing more advanced avenues of expression. I've been hesitant up until now, feeling like I cant proceed unless I make sure everyone is aware of what i'm about to go through. Thats all changed as i've told whom I want to be aware and am wanting to make further moves for me. I'm both nervous and excited. I feel like i'm ready, more ready than I have been these past few months. I'm a super cautious person however. How do you really know if it's the right move?

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Skye.  It's good to have you here.  I have to say that I like the approach you're taking about this journey that you're on.  There is nothing wrong with being cautious, and everything right about seeking out a psychologist and seeking answers and support in a place such as this.

 

We'll be here whenever you have questions, and your comments and opinions are always welcome.  I look forward to hearing more from you.

 

HUGS

Welcome to Transpulse.  

 

I think the best way to answer the question on how you know if it's the right move is to ask you how it feels to you.  Does it feel to you like this is your path?

Hi Skye

 

Welcome :)

 

Most everyone moves at a different pace as they feel their feet. This is a good place to read on people's experiences and get a feel of where you are.

Welcome Skye.  I can only speak for myself.  Self discovery took time and a great deal of experimentation.  Therapy helped as did time here.  Simply knowing i wasn't alone made my path easier.  Glad you've joined us during your journey.

 

Hugs,

      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

      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>
