Hi new here


PurpleBlue

Recommended Posts

I am new to this forum. I am from the USA. I'm 25 years old. I was assigned female at birth. I have been questioning my gender for 2 years now. I am constantly searching articles online about gender and searching Tumblr and watching videos. I am so confused and want to figure myself out. I joined this forum to talk to people like me. 

 

I live in a small town and the people are very against LGBTQ. 

There aren't many resources where I am. I have no friends in real life and I feel so lonely and isolated. 

 

I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety and auditory hallucinations (hearing voices). 

It's so difficult. 

 

I have struggled with my sexuality in the past. It was difficult. Currently I identify as bisexual. 

 

I am from a Christian family.

I am so scared of them not believing me or accepting me or hating me and not talking to me again. 

 

Sorry this post was just me venting. Hopefully we can be friends.

Anyway, this is a great place to talk for sure. I have actually learned a lot by reading these forums. Most questions I ask myself have been answered somewhere in here.

Welcome PurpleBlue.  I can only say that times are definitely changing for the better regardless of the present administration.  Simply having a space like this where we can be open and honest about our journeys can help a great deal.  I know it has helped me.  I also grew up and have lived my life in a small town where i have known everybody forever.  (I am in a more accepting state for the most part.)   I remember that feeling of desperation.  I lived it for years but eventually i've found a new more honest path.  I don't regret my life pre transition.  I did the best i could and learned a great deal.  Give yourself the gift of time and miracles can happen.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

      Isn't it illegal to be examining people's genitals without their consent?    Could've sworn that was some sort of law already.

      Hi Vidanjali, both of my parents had pasted on in their lifetimes.

      Oddly i often feel i pass but then bump into someone who reads my past attempts at maleness.    Last week at the market a man spoke me as i went back to my car.  I heard "You are beautiful"!  Odd!!!!!  Then he said something about marriage and i started to get worried.  Turned out he is married to a trans woman.  He was sweet and probably is tuned to trans folks but it was a bit disquieting.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I decided to power wash our back porch and the porch furniture so the uniform of the day is a skort, t-shirt over a sports bra and flip flops with my hair pulled back into a ponytail.

      It's been touched on in another thread, the perception that the folks who scream loudest in favor of free speech are also the loudest in wanting to stifle the freedom of people not like themselves.

      I wonder if the LGBTQI+ umbrella should be split? Create separate entities for LGB and TQI+ folk?    I have no doubt that some cis het people probably think that sexuality and gender identity are the same thing, for whatever the reason, not necessarily willful ignorance. It would be natural for such people to observe that both LGB and T folk are under the same umbrella, so they must be the same, right?   Just as (and I know I'm making some pretty big assumptions in this post) some cis gay folk would think that the LBGTQI+ umbrella is pie - give trans people a slice, and somehow, they will miss out. Just like cis het folk might also think that their lives are somehow being diminished by allowing trans people to have basic human rights.

      Some anxiety is building up inside.

      Suppressing your emotions because you’re afraid of them can be bad for your physical and mental health. Here’s what to do instead. When a toddler feels a “big” emotion, like anger or sadness, they tend to have a big tantrum on the floor. And these tantrums can be a lot to observe, full of thrashing, screaming, and tears. But a child reacts like this because the emotion they’re feeling is uncomfortable, maybe even painful.   Of course, as adults, we feel emotions too, and those feelings can be just as overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even painful as they were when we were children, even if we don’t let ourselves react in such a big way. But, sometimes, in our attempts to not give in to our emotions, we go too far: we run from them or suppress them — even if that harms us in the long run. Although there are many reasons we might suppress our emotions, one of them is that we are afraid of our emotions. Fear of emotions is called “animotophobia. It is not an official term in the DSM-5-TR. Still, fearing your emotions can have a significant impact on your well-being.

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?   I sing, write songs, play guitar, bass, harp. It is my sanctuary.
