Ever since middle school I was either girl or boy.  Hormones were all sorts of wierd.  Attraction made no sense.  Then into adulthood no lie..no HRT just longer hair and comfortable clothes and people were like ma'am while othera say sir... Then impatient hospitals caught on to to more of an emotional shutdown from traumatic bull so they would ask how I dentify.. I gave up because I felt so sociologically screwed and discriminated...an it.. an object.. so I would write the letter F sobbing over the most recent memories.  It wasn't till I lost so much when I finally heard alot about trans acceptance in the news so I found a therapist to get some clarity earlier this year... 

Well how it gave clarity about my life while also inverting and making services a Pain in the Butt.

But since people already guessed it... It messed with every aspect of my life... Thank gawd for SSDI.

Elizabeth, like you the increased acceptance of trans people has helped me accept myself.  For me the internet was important as well.  Especially this site where i found i wasn't alone.  No-one judged me here.  I could be who i am and others understood and gave good support and recommendations.  Therapy helped me as well.  Folks here had recommended it.  While it turned my life upside down i've found my feet and am enjoying the path as never before.

 

Hugs,

I was in CBT therapy with it geared more towards identifying dysphoria and accepting myself.  It was then afterwords when after losing so much and thought what else is there to lose, it was the social services and mental health providers being forward with me.  There was literally some people trying to get me into the GLBT advocate for Dallas but instead I literally had names written being bounced between insurance and then some social workers like, I don't get what's going on with your case.  I know right?!!?? So yeah there were different factors just to leave.  Then I find out down here that DFW is known to be transphobic anyways...

      Monthly Site Expenses (Updated May 2024)

      By Petra Jane · Posted

      Having taken on the site, forums, and all of the bills, from Dev (May 2020) and because I also want to be fully transparent about the cost of running the site, I feel it's time to update this information. Sorry that it has taken me two years since I last gave an update, just life getting in the way.   If you'd like to donate, please do so via the green bar at the top of the forum pages.  The months of July through October are pretty heavy with annual and semi-annual expenses and every little bit helps.   Here's the breakdown as it stands now:   Chat is now free. (Stu now runs the Chat)   Regular Charges: There are occasional one off's as well. Forums:  $70.00 every six months (February and August, effectively billed in January and July). (Was $45 until 2022, support ticket system depreciated!) Resource Locator:  $53.00 yearly, this "widget" failed this year, so I have been able to find a (currently) free replacement. Resource Locator Mapping: Google maps, currently under the minimum monthly usage, so free. Email Delivery: $5.00 monthly currently free, changed to a service that offers a much larger monthly allowance. Server Rental:  $30.00 monthly. Greatfully sponsored by The Breast Form Store. Security Software:  Now included in the package we have. Domain Renewals: Approx $75 annual charges for Transgenderpulse.com, Lauras-playground.com and the server domain. Contact Us Form Software: $79 yearly (August).   Total Monthly Breakdown: $54.50 per month.  (Annual bills = $654) Updated May 2024 (Slightly down on previous years).   Now then.  I'm on a fixed income, which means I know what it's like not having a penny to spare.  If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel guilty; I didn't take over here to turn a profit.  The lights will stay on.  Donations are very much appreciated, but they are not a requirement of membership.   An update to clarify a couple of points: Because you have to use your legal name with PayPal, emails confirming your donation from PayPal will be from a name with the initials "DS", not Petra Jane and the email used is tgp (at) uk-web***   Unfortunately, we can only accept payment through PayPal, and please ensure that you have permission to make any donation through a PayPal account, we have been stung by someone alledgedly using a PayPal account without the owner's permission and incurred an additional $20 chargeback to refund the donation!   We have recently seen a number of these of late so I am asking that genuine donators please add your forum username in the comment box so that I, and I alone, will know who has sent the donation and that it is genuine. Thank you. Also, this appears only to Members who are logged in on the forums, New Members need to have made a minimum of 10 posts.   Let me reassure you: Donations help towards ongoing costs related to keeping the site running, including hosting, bandwidth, etc. It also encourages us to commit regular updates, add features, and improve the service. Our promise to you is that this site and its use will always remain free of charge.     Petra Jane

      By April Marie · Posted

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By April Marie · Posted

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!
