Hi, I'm Hannah!

Hey everybody, it's nice to be here. 

 

My name's Hannah. I just put the pieces together that I'm a trans-woman a couple of months ago. I'm on hrt, and feeling pretty good right now. I'm a computer programmer, married to a very supportive woman, and I'm struggling a little with the identity issues that come with being trans. But, you know? Overall, the whole experience is a real adventure. My body's been changing for a while, and I'm happier with it than I've been for a long time. I am taking baby steps to live more authentically, and I feel like that's going pretty well. For the most part, I'm blessed by having supportive thoughtful people around me, I think. 

 

But, the problem is, while the people in my life are very supportive, and they try to be understanding... none of them really have much of a frame of reference to understand what I've been going through. I'm usually pretty positive, but sometimes it gets dark in here, and it helps to be able to reach out to other trans people who get the experience a little more. 

 

Really looking forward to being a member of this community.

Welcome Hannah! It’s good to have more new members here to share this experience with. I’m new at this too, and I’m finding it much easier to cope with everything just because this place exists.

Welcome Hannah, it's a pleasure to meet you.  I believe you'll fit right in with our little group here.  You sound like you're experiencing a very positive start in your transition.  I hope to hear more about you and how you got to where you are today.  Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to Trans Pulse forums Hannah, I so get this above, that's why we are here to help share things that might just fly right over (or under depending on your point of view) most people's heads. It's like how could they know ? Unless you've lived such things, many of what a person transitioning experiences is hard to describe to the person on the outside.  Have a look around the forums and join in the conversations, great to have you here dear.

 

Hugs

Hi Hannah, pleased to meet you, that is a wonderful approach to take! I get your statement about frames of reference though, the folks here understand the questions and many of the answers while some people with the best will in the world just do not get why you need to ask in the first place. ?

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      I mean, we're trying !  Just have to be a Southern Girl for now.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
