Hi, my name is Ashley. I'm not a transgendered person myself, but my best friend is a FtM. You probably know him as Misaki. I'm 100% behind it, and he knows that. I'm just really new to the whole idea; yeah that's pretty much it.

I hope being a part of the playground helps educate you further on what Misaki is going through

and btw, i think thats really sweet of you getting behind him 100% like that.

A friend of Misaki? That makes you awesome!! Welcome to the site, feel free to ask any of us questions and post in the forums; 'cause that's what we're all about. Posting and... stuff. I'm FtM as well, and certainly appreciate the fact that there are people out there supportive of their friends--needs to be more people out there like you!

Here I am,

I was baking fresh cookies, so sit down and I'll get you some hot cocoaa and youmay have the first of a fresh batch of my double chocolate chip cookies.

So you are a friend of Misaki, that will open a lot of doors here.

Being someone's friend makes you very special, we are all about friends here and people who care enough to come in and learn more about our community are always welcome.

Just wait to see how many more people will drop by.

love ya,

Sally

WECOME WELCOME WELCOME

So GREAT to have a friend of a transperson come on board. You might want to look around - real diversity here - really a fun place (well usually - can be heartbreaaking).

And the welcoming committee with the virtual food may be a bit behind schedule. Sally is under the weather a bit - not the 'swine' flue - but we think there are some pigletts involved - shhhhhh - don't say anything... she's kinda a ham anyway... and has to work hard (to bring home the bacon) ... she would squeeeeeal with surprise to know we were talking about her... oh my.... sooooorry - we get a little silly here sometimes.

Glad to meet you. Post if you have comment or questions - and if you would - tell everyone about you supporting Misaki - yeaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ashley, any friend of Misaki's is a friend of ours. Welcome to Laura's. You'll learn a ton of new info about transgendered issues here, and meet all of Misaki's web friends to boot.

And BTW, just ignore that silly Lizzy, she is totally weird and silly. We just tolerate her around here. :P

Misaki has a great friend if you care enough to join him at Laura's. Good for you.

Ashley...............

OMG! So totally awesome to meet you!

When anyone comes here as a supportive Friend or spouse of a Transperson, the Positive energy meter takes a HUGE spike!

I'll just give you a Bigg virtual Hugg....{{{{{HUGG}}}}} from all of us...

Seeing someone supporting and loving any one of us makes the light shine brighter..

Misaki gets the love from you directly, but we all share in it here....so warm ...and wonderful.

See?..This forum isn't about tractors or tropical fish or sewing.....it's about feelings...very heavy stuff sometimes.

And all of us smile at your care and support.....

We bask in that glow, too....

You're a peach!

i don't see why people AREN'T supportive. people can choose to live their lives however they want, what's wrong with that?

virtual cookies, yum :D

I never said they weren't nice. Everyone's been really awesome.

Yeah I'll do whatever I can to help him, I don't know what else I can do besides being supportive like I have been, but that's definitely more than nothing. :)

      You are more brave than I. It's only 60 here right now.

      I was doing my best to get past the fear and shame i felt whenever i went out in public so when i went to therapy and later to my doctor i presented as the woman i felt myself to be.  There was a policy that one had to live as their chosen gender for a year prior to starting HRT.  In some ways that seemed almost right to me as one of the hardest things we do is the entry into society as ourselves.     Of course the way you dress is up to you but be assured that your doctor is there to support not denigrate your decision.   Hugs,   Charlize

      And now wearing my hiking dress/swimsuit cover dress as I prepare to kayak back to my truck.

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆

      wearing my bathing suit at a rocky beach. At the same lake as the one I fell into from the kayak a few weeks ago. Watson (my chihuahua) and I took a nice swim and sunbathed for a little while.

      I searched for a bag that felt right and worked for me.  Eventually i found an old leather Coach bag.  I've carried it for over 10 years now.  Occasionally i use Lexol  to revitalize the leather as i did on the tac for horses years ago.  The leather has become soft and the clever fittings on the bag have preventing too much wear.  It's pretty big so perhaps i carry too much.   Hugs,   Charlize
    • April Marie
      Thank you, friend. It means much.
    • Mirrabooka
      Home crumbed chicken schnitzel, with scalloped potatoes, peas & corn.   We try to plan our dinner meals ahead for the week, so getting in early - tomorrow night will be lamb chump chops baked in the oven with a honey/soy marinade. In the same dish will be potato and pumpkin segments. The other veges will be string beans and cauliflower.
    • Mirrabooka
      Yep.   I sometimes get busy on another forum which has a wide array of general interest subforums. Everything from politics to tech to money to sport. There have been plenty of times where I have quoted people and given examples which demonstrate why their posts were either bollocks or at least tangential to the thread title, only to have my reply hidden because it was deemed to be off-topic...yet their off-topic post that I quoted remained intact!    Freedom of speech per se should be upheld, BUT...is it just me, or does it sometimes seem like the biggest proponents of it prioritize their 'rights' over their responsibilities? Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else feel like there is a cohort of people out there (not here!) who defend their hate speech under the guise of free speech? Whether it be on an internet forum or in real life, there must be rules and regulations.   Our moderators here do a truly fantastic job, and this forum really is a rare treasure. What helps is that above everything that does get discussed including the differing opinions at times on non-core issues, we are all on the same side!

      Good morning everyone,    It’s a dog life thing, with a puppy influence. We slept until 06:00 at which time Parker made his first soft bark from inside his crate. I got up and got ready to go outside so he could take care of business and potty. Then we played with his favorite toy 🧸 and tug of war and fetch. Coffee has finished brewing and my first cup is flavorful Folgers Black Silk.    I hope you have a wonderful day and can be who you were meant to be.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In the U.S. Monday is Memorial Day. Do you celebrate and/or honor those who served?

      Self-compassion is simply the process of turning compassion inward. We're kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives.
