Hi y’all! I’m Molly! I’m a 20 year old trans woman who currently lives in rural Texas. I love sharks, video games, reading, and writing. My datemate and I are hoping to move to Rhode Island by Christmas this year. 

 

I hope y’all don’t mind me doing a get-to-know you question. What is your favorite type of Shark?

Pleased to meet you Molly, I'm with you on the video games and reading... My favourite sharks are all on screen. Bruce from finding Nemo would be my fave :)

Hi Molly and welcome to the forums. My favorite shark would have to be the goblin shark. It’s not a looker, but has adapted amazingly for its environment.

Greetings Molly and welcome.  Quite a change, Texas to Rhode Island.  What's the occasion, school?  

 

I like Mako because they are sleek and fast but the Great White is awesome for its size and strength.  

 

Please join in the conversation!

Hi Molly,

Welcome to TransPulse. I'm glad you're here!

 

My favorite shark is any one that doesn't eat me! I did have a Silver Shark in an aquarium once.

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf?

Welcome, Molly! The Nurse Shark, because I'm a nurse. :) I found a fossilized shark tooth at the beach when I was teenager, and I keep it in my jewelry box. Have you ever seen one like this? Do you have some shark tooth jewelry?

Howdy Jani! Sorry for the late reply. We've decided to stay in Texas, but move to Austin. To be honest, I'm a bit scared of transitioning in this state. As a redneck who grew up in an extremely traditional southern family (think shooting by 3, being giving firearms for holidays), I've seen just how hateful and violent this state can be to trans folks.

Welcome Molly.  I've heard Austin is a great place.  Just please do be careful.

Glad you've joined us.

 

Hugs,

Hi Molly, welcome ?

 

Sharks are not really a big subject over here as we see few except for those on TV, but with my liking for dogs I look upon the dogfish with affection (even though it obviously has nothing to do with dogs lol). I also find the Hammer Head Shark interesting, particularly with its electrical field sensing.

Hi! I live in San Diego , and used to virtually live at the beach growing up. My parents dropped me and I friend off at La Jolla Shores early , and pick us up later in the day. I have seen sharks close up at the beach , to kinda close at Sea World. 

From time to time, hundreds of Leopard Sharks swarm La Jolla Shores as close as the shore line. Google “Hundreds of sharks swarm La Jolla shores. One day we heard about it after we arrived, and heard that Leopard sharks do not attack people, and that we were allowed to go in. Most people didn’t go in, and they certainly didn’t go boogie boarding like we did that day. It was the coolest thing ever. There definitely were hundreds, and they swam right past us, and we even swooshed past them when we caught some waves. Very fun and surreal. Apparently, they come in for schools of fish that swim close to the shoreline, and the water was warm too. Occasionally, a freak white will pass by, but they do not come that close, or the lifeguards would have warned everyone. For this reason, I pick Leopard shards, although I do like the whitetip sharks because they look kinda cool, and they also hang out at the kelp beds across the way at “The Cove.”

Hello!  I guess for favorite shark I'll go with Mako, because they share the same name as the voice actor for Aku and Uncle Iroh.

I think it’s called a thrasher shark? All I know it it’s got that giant top half of the back fin. They look like something out of an alien movie or something. Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the Forums, Molly.  I hope you find the answers to whatever questions you have, and not just about sharks.  On that subject, though, I like whale sharks, because they seem like really gentle creatures and are in great need of protection.

Hi Molly, good to meet you. Gotta say, I winced when I read you're in Texas. That is not an easy state to live in when your LBGT from what I've heard. Good luck with your goal to move north.

I was born and raised in Florida. I have a great respect for sharks. I had the privilege of diving with schools of sharks in Galapagos as a teenager. My favorite is the same as Carolyn's--the whale shark. I think it's incredible they get so big by eating plankton.

Molly,

 

My father owned a 19' cabin cruiser when I was in my teens.  We took a trip to Santa Catalina Island (Southern California) one day, and on the return trip there was this huge thresher breaching for no apparent reason.  Just as the boat pass over it came completely out of the water, and I was standing in the aft part of the boat watching.  It was so beautiful, and it seemed as big as the boat, though I am sure it was not.  So, that has to be my fav.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
