Lovely outfit Amy, Periwinkle is my absolutely my favorite color.  You wear it well.  It looks like Periwinkle on my iPad, however I've purchased tops that looked Periwinkle under store lighting and when I got home and tried it on in my lighting, it was light navy blue.  I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me in the past.  Now, when I shop I bring a tiny swatch of fabric to match it.

You look fantastic, Michelle!  Your transformation is definitely a success story!

Thank you Dev. Believe it or not. One year ago today. I was a straight man, homeless and taken OFF the street through transitional housing via HUD. I was accepted for Sec 8, Veterans Preferred Housing (yeah right. I was unable to find an acceptable place without maintaining HUD bylaws everything had 2year+ waiting lists). Never used HUD voucher. I let it rescind.

 

This is my partner Shawn. He is a fully homosexual Gay man. Oddly... He is teaching me how to be an authentic woman. I dress myself and taught myself makeup and ketogenics helps me maintain my 170-180 pound girlish figure. LoL?. We are now in our own place WITHOUT assistance. Totally self sustaining and ALL the bills are paid!

 

The point here is we are no longer homeless and alone. I started my transition (HRT) last April. Last Tuesday, at the TDoR event that I held a candle for, my shrink and my Primary Care Physician have both agreed and informed me they have ordered my top surgery; and, they have agreed place me on the surgeons list for bottom surgery. Estimated timeframe end of next Summer or early Fall. I meet the Surgeon in January!

 

Now the big surprise!!! Shawn is making me an honest woman. He said he gave me his nelly and is going to formally propose to me on January 10th, our 1 year anniversary moving in together. I am head over heels! OMG! I haven't stopped laugh/crying since the Surg announcement. Then yesterday when we had our private feast he dropped the pre-proposal I've been a blubbering idiot!

 

Whew!

Shocked the he'll out a me! Totally took me by surprise.

 

Funny how a nice dinner and a pleasant evening can turn into such a bombshell!

 

Good thing I was ready for it! LoL?

Honestly though. I never expected what is happening. Yes I was in denial about my sexuality. But I was CIS nonetheless. Maybe not totally happy, but I was a functioning successful adult. No appreciable dysphoria. Doing my thing but alone.

 

This Thanksgiving, I am in total thanks. I have more going for me now than anytime in my past. I am NOT alone.

 

This Thanksgiving I can truly give thanks to the guidance that the spiritual powers that be have NOT forsaken me and I can see clearly the path before me!

 

This is what Thanksgiving is all about.

 

And you guys here at TransPulse. OMG just having the outlet to open up and speak to people of like mind and direction. I feel obligated to reach out and help others find their way. I love every one of you.

 

THANK YOU and Merry Christmas ? and a Happy New Year????????

Feliz Navidad e Anjo Nuevo

Michelle this is what its all about.  Taking what we need, then reciprocating by giving back all that we can.

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.

      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
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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

      He deserves it,is a disgrace

      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.

      I hope he gets what he deserves.

      Heck I didn't even know they could go up that high! I just have a four burner and one to keep stuff warm. What kind of pies did you make?
    • MaeBe
      I'm sure you'd rock it, girl!

      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.
