Ivanka Milova says hi!

Hi everyone, Thank you for reading my self-introduction.

I know that no one is perfect. I try my best, however, I keep in mind that far not each and every GG looks like a model. Especially in the morning with no make up on. It helps not to stress when I see myself in the mirror. I actually love posing in front of a mirror/camera. We should not forget that even if someone is a beauty once, we are all aging. And it might be more depressing to see your beauty disappearing, when you are focused on looks only. I am fighting for the freedom to be myself. Being male or female is not a drama. Just do not tell me what to wear (unless you are my employer and you pay me for wearing your uniform). Speaking of an employer, I am seeking a workplace where it's possible to be  dressed the way I wish. I hope you can find my youtube channel and subscribe. I believe it might help me convince someone eventually to give me the jobs I seek (like a web-administrator or office all rounder).

Welcome Ivanka.  Accepting what we see in the mirror is hard for both the cis and trans world.  

At least it seems a bit more like me now than it did when i hid behind a beard tryin g to be him.

 

Hugs,

Thanks everyone for warm welcome! :)

 

As to finding a job, I do not know. Australia seems to be a great country to live in. You are kind of free to be yourself. However, there seems to be double standards and hypocrisy -holy buckets- when it comes to employment. Let me describe a situation as an example. I see the job ad in the Priceline pharmacy round the corner from where I live. Dressed as a woman, I bring in my resume and discuss the job with a pharmacy assistant. Their manager appears shortly after.  The pharmacy assistant waves her hand inviting the manager to join us. The manager see me, makes the face and disappears. And I know I have no chance. That's only one example out of many. And I am crossing no lines with my looks. I do not look like a prostitute. I try to blend in. I've received many genuine compliments both from men and women who meet me on streets.

 

I've opened my youtube channel as addition argument to support my job applications. However, it's a bit disappointing here as well. I remember my previous attempt few years ago. 50 subscribers to my channel during a couple of weeks. It's only 20 this time for about the same period. May be I got older and less appealing :( And/or youtuners have watched too much of everything during this years, and it becomes more difficult to win the audience? I've ordered new wig and plan more videos when it arrives. I guess it will help. But may be not as much as expect. Another disappointment? I need at least 100 subscribers to sound more convincing I guess. I do not know. May be people simply do not need such videos any more.

I'm sorry you are going through this kind of discrimination Ivanka.  I am fortunate to be a self employed farmer in a quite accepting neighborhood.  Even so i can understand your feelings.  i know i would be angry and worried.  All i can offer is the advice to not give up.  Many here have faced similar discrimination.

 Often large companies have different policies so employment isn't based on the whim of a single manager.  You may also find help in a local GLBT group.  

 

Hugs,

Best of luck in your search.

Local GLBTI groups focus mostly on providing safe environment for m2f. I do not seek "safe" environment. I am happy to interact with general public.

 

The discrimination described above would never take place openly. They will never admit it's happening. Hard to prove. Their answer would be like "it' not about your transgender status, it's because we received hundreds of applications and someone else proved to be more suitable on this occasion. However, you are more than welcome to try harder some other time in future. We never discriminate".

 

Why I do not feel rel support even here? Yes, you answer me with your best wishes,  however, it looks like no one wants to give me that little favour as to support my Ivanka Milova youtube channel. Would  that be too much to ask? I mean I am not asking for money. Just vote "yes" by subscribing to my youtube channel. Why not?

Site rule #9 which has been in effect since the original site began covers your "Why not?

 

Quote

Rule 9. You may not advertise good or services, ask for money, or otherwise solicit our members in any way. TransPulse does not accept paid advertising. Members who post advertisements, solicitations, or spam will be subject to an immediate ban from the site.

 

Even though you are not seeking money "votes" for site popularity benefit you in the ways at the heart of this rule.  I suppose in that way we are not the kind gentle and helpful place you are  seeking.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus.  McAfee is really tough to get rid of.  I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed.  Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time.    As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf   It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions.  Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use.  As in...click the button!

      Hi Thea, I can relate to that, to this day I find video games that has female role characters in them, the ones that takes leadership.

      Divorce sux.  My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away.  I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years.    My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time.  I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely?    I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal.  I told my husband and other partners the same thing.  Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it.  I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab   Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.

      Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next.   *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe.

      Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome.     Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake.  I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S.  I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile.  Moderators?  Any ideas?     I met with my therapist today.  She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support.     I'll be checking in from time to time :)

      Approximately 12 hours ago I created a post in the "intersex" forum, however on YouTube 17 people can relate to my story.

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?
