My wife isn't thrilled about me being in a forum. She's afraid of me divulging personal information. She thinks you all are influencing me too much. I guess it's too hard for her to understand that you are helping me. I get a lot of depression like most or all of us. This forum helps me.

I get depressed a lot myself, and coming here helps.

Since my wife and I split some years ago she's not an issue.

However being alone is for me.

I sometimes wonder whether I would have looked at my gender issues much sooner if I hadn't been with her at the time.  I think it was only when I was free from the relationship that I was able to have a deeper look at myself.

He gave me a few names of therapists who deal with LGBTQ people. His top choice is a transwoman. 1-1/2 hour drive, but does teleconferencing.

 

That is a good find. Absolutely see if she's accepting new clients. There's nothing better than having a therapist that knows exactly what you're going through. I know people who don't like teleconferences, but that's how I've always seen my main therapist and it works for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Now for Kymmie time. Trying to figure what to wear,( One of a girls biggest problems) Something girly but will also keep me warm. It's 16 with a wind.

 

Thank you. I now have "Hammertime" stuck in my head. "Kymmie-time! Doo do do do... do do." Please end my suffering.

 

I hope you have a lovely visit with your doctors. I got to have a GP in training look at my genitals whilst at my GYN office yesterday. Four of us in an office and I wasn't wearing pants. It was like a party. A terrible, terrible party.

 

Hugs!

You're absolutely right. Camaraderie with my fellow trans-folks is a great comfort. We don't always see eye-to-eye, but we understand each other and the sort of troubles we go through. It's also nice to have a sympathetic ear when I'm having a rough day and the dysphoria monster is scratching at my brain.

Of course at this point, I am so married that I doubt I could live any other way. Which is weird, because I do all the cooking and cleaning. You'd think I'd be able to take care of myself but the idea of "going it alone" is terrifying.

 

Hugs!

That would be a terrible party, one I wouldn't want to attend.

 

Physical therapy and Speech Therapy done. Got some stretches to do to help my back. Speech went real well too.

 

Just remember its Kymmie -time! Sorry I just had to. :P

@Jamie68 like anything in life, its all what you make of it!   Plus this is the state of the art right now with the pandemic raging.  Don't discount any avenue for treatment.  You may be pleasantly surprised.  I have zoom meetings with a few friends and they prove to be very personal and close. 

 

Cheers, Jani

I called. She's not taking new patients for at least 3 weeks.  There's no waiting list.  On her website there's a place to email her.  I did that, pleading for her to take me as soon as she can and described myself about transitioning.  I also mentioned I'm in this forum. Hopefully the email will help.

Hello all. Sorry I have been absent. Been a bit caught up with work. Coffee is cold but still being consumed. Hope all are staying as well as they can during these trying times.

Good morning,

 

Time for my second cup-o-coffee. I don't understand why I've been waking up before the chickens so often.

 

I have insidey stuff I can do with it being so early but the wife and furry kids are still sleeping so I'm trying to keep the noise down. Our new mattress is supposed to ...........brb, gotta get my toast.........arrive sometime around lunch. It'll be fun spending the day moving and assembling bed frames but at least I can finally get our guest room organized. My biggest fear today is breaking another nail, I broke two last weekend. Wife still owes me a manicure.

I know, right? I'm trying to keep my nails nice but between the weights and how brittle they are I can't keep them looking anything but ragged. They're sharp as all get-out though. I could absolutely tear somebody's face off.

 

I'm awake because of this thing:

Apparently he was thirsty and the ONLY water he could drink was out of the tap in the bathtub. He is not sorry.

 

Hugs!

I love it. Animals are great. A lot smarter than they get credit for. My dachshund knew I was transitioning first. She cuddles with me a lot more now. My fingernails start breaking at maybe 1/16" of growth also.

Remember that Dachshunds and cats don't have people they have staff.

 

Up a little before the alarm, to jump in the shower. Still have my Minnie bow earrings in no argument from the wife and/or son, Yet. It may have happened last night after I got off work. But my son's girl-friend was over.

 

Well my Monday. and since I covered last night I don't have to be in at 6am.  I will be putting up the note today for everyone to use my preferred name and pronouns.

 

Have a safe and warm day, everyone.

I feel great today. My wife outed my to our daughter last night. She took it well. After my wife ended her call, I texted my daughter apologizing for not telling her myself and she can call me to talk about it. She called me a minute later. She knew already from the picture of my newly pierced ears I sent her. She has several trans, bi, gay, lez, friends. She's really excited for me. We talked and cried for about a half hour. She's sending me makeup tips, link for clothing. Wants to go girly stuff shopping with me. It's awesome. It's going to be a while though. She lives in Florida, and me in Illinois.

My almost 3 yr old puppy is a pampered princess. Spoiled rotten. I get frisked thoroughly any time I come in from outside for a new squeaky ball.

 

Have a great day.

Thanks. I agree. I'm so happy that my wife is becoming ok with family members knowing I'm a transwoman. Not having any bad responses from anyone so far helps.

That is just awesome. Hopefully the experience won't be overloading. It was for me the first time.

I just now sent a long text to my granddaughter outing myself. I'm nervous about how she will take it. She lives with us, but I don't see her much.

I love it. Thanks. I've got tears welling up now. It's been happening a lot lately. Tears of joy and relief.

@Jamie68 I have been waiting 7 months for my wife to go thru grieving since I started HRT. She knew before that but still has not allowed outing me to the step kids or grand kids. It is hard not to do it myself but I respect her feelings and I am hopeful she will as I move toward surgeries. SO @Jamie68 I think it is wonderful and I am so happy for you. Cherish it.

      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post. 
    • Charlize
      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.

      So from time to time my brain gets a hold of information and puts it together with other information in weird way that get me thinking. I was reading about a nudes cruise that they are running out if Miami. It got me thinking that a transgendered person who is also a naturalist, has to be one of the most unlucky people alive. How does one manage that and does that ever come up? Not trying to make fun here, just genuinely curious. Things that make you go hmmmm....
    • MaeBe
      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!
