WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

Me? Like you MTF and transitioning - so there are a lot of us here. I am one of the seriously senior - but ther are many younger and some your age - we all need to help each other sometimes - so let us also offer to be therr for you as well. And if you have been in chat you know what a good place Laura's can be.

In forum the pace is slower, not in real-time. But look around and POST POST POST! We value your opinion!

Glad to meet you...

Hi,

Welcome to the forums, come on into the members lounge and have a seat, its pretty early here in the USA so a lot of our members are not up yet on a Saturday morning.

Have some hot teas, I have 37 varieties and of course I have milk for it - I have some fresh baked cinnamon rolls and I made some scoones.

I am a jazz musician and an author (of sorts) but I make my living as a photographer - creativity seems to run through the Transgendered world.

I'm a little younger than Lizzy, but not enough to make any real diference, MTF and I am waiting for my doctor's appointment to start my hormones.

Sit here or wonder around and post in any forum that you like if someone comes by while you are out, they'll leave you a note.

Welcome to Laura's Playground - the friendliest place on Earth.

Love ya,

Sally

H Rachael and welcome to the forums, i know chat's not new for you, i see you on there quite often.

Like Lizzy and some others I'm a senior MtF transitioning too, and yes the forums are a much slower pace than chat, but i have fun there too.

HUGS!

Hello, Rachael!

How very nice to meet you!

I see that my girlfriends have introduced themselves and gotten you all settled in....

I'll tell that I, too, am MTF and transitioning...I'm older than Paula and Sally, but younger than Lizzy! Lets see....that would make me 36......LOL

Well, welcome to the playground, Honey....

Relax and enjoy yourself!

Welcome, Rachael!! I knew I had to post you up a welcome, 'cause my little sister is named Rachael! ~<3 I'm opposite of you, FtM being; but there are a ton of girls and fun people to meet here of all types.

Hey Rachael, welcome to the forums!

Feel free to speak your mind, these people are really great. They've helped me through some tough time, and I really haven't been here too long either.

Hey I see

Or if u ever have any issues involving any type of depression or suicidal wishes, talk to me! I have a long history with suicidal tendancies...

And I agree to the part to talk to 1Charlotte1 but let me add:

TALK TO ANY of us.. We all here are very much self distructive in many different ways. And Charlotte - YOU talk to us too..

      @KathyLauren This is how the jurors broke down the award:     Being labeled as a molester and sexual pervert can and has done that much actual damage in terms of repair of the damage through a wide variety of means including legal fees and loss of livelihood in any job or profession.  As this said the idea of "reckless disregard for the truth" means that the performer was able to show a level of damage that will affect him now and in the future.  The $900K+ figure was a matter of real evidence of the damage.

      Well, it has been an interesting morning.  I stayed home from service to take care of a partner.  She's the youngest of us, and I'm usually not her first choice for affection.  But this morning she curled up in my lap right before breakfast, and told me she was feeling ill.  And then threw up on me about 30 seconds later....   I guess the smell of the food is what did it, poor thing.  On a hunch, she took a pregnancy test and.... yep.    She's been married to our husband for 10 years, and this will be her 6th, so I'm happy for her.  We took a shower and she got back in our nest to sleep some more, which is probably the best medicine of all.  Maybe she'll feel better this afternoon. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Article said $250,000 of it was "punitive."  To me, seems like the whole thing was punitive...which I don't think is appropriate at all. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Biden himself is driving that "divisive wedge."  Could have done without the anti-gun garbage in his statement....it makes it seem like all LGBTQ+ folks agree with their agenda.  Which simply isn't true, and makes life difficult (and unsafe) for those of us who prefer to live in rural (and non-Democrat) areas.  Pride month would be happier for many (and more socially accepted) if it could somehow be separated from ancillary political issues. 
    • KathyLauren
      I haven't seen the ruling, but it is unlikely that the entire amount was for actual damages.  The majority was likely punitive, as it should be.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Unless somehow this caused a million dollars worth of damage to somebody's livelihood or life, the amount of this judgement seems excessive.  Not something I would call "uplifting" or anything to be pleased about.

      Thanks so much, @Ivy Good to hear good sense about this. —Davie

      You do have what are called Receptor Cells in your body, that take the T or E and actually put them to work structuring your body.  I learned about this from a genetics study being done through the University Of California that I took part in through a Transgender Conference I attended.  Turned out  that my actual T receptor cells had some extra bits of protein in their make-up that they knew inhibited certain (unknown specifically) functions of the hormones.  My Endocrinologist even commented that he was not as concerned about what my blood levels were because the level in my blood stream was not doing anything, it was what the receptor cells did with it that mattered.    That said though, to me it seems like your T actually has done a pretty good job on you from what you say.  Just like my direction of MtF, males come in so many different editions, shapes, and sizes that to me you would fit in there just fine, maybe not in your personal ideal of masculinity, but you seem to fit in the box pretty well from what you are saying.  I  would get back with your Gender Therapist for a bit to get help on self acceptance of where you are.

      Good morning everyone,    It’s another rainy cool morning here in central Indiana so in spite of getting up at 06:30 to quickly get Parker outside to do his business, then scoop him up some kibble and fill his water bowl. We’ve been cat napping with the Smithsonian Channel streaming Arial America.    Well said @Willow about being Trans Enough.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🐛🦋

      Thanks you for posting.  Is Eli your chosen name?  I'm not surprised that you have heard the complaints of MTF folks and their struggles.  We all see our own struggles as being the worst.  That being said i've known quite few trans men who have gone through a great struggle.  While our social difficulties are real i have found finding peace with myself has been every bit as hard if not harder in the long run.  That has little or nothing to do with passing.       I definitely am privileged as an educated white person in an accepting area.  I have to accept that as well.       As to HRT, the time will come if that is the path you change.  Facial hair, as well as body hair, a deep voice and slight but powerful physical changes will eventually allow you to pass.  As i waited to start hormones i found it was a time when i could start the long path towards self acceptance.  I will never be a cis woman and finding peace with that can still be a challenge for any trans person.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Are you able to live in the moment or does your inner demon generally control you?

      Still have anxious moments meeting some.
