Hello I'm 22, genetically male, but now secretly identify as Androgyne. I have cross dressed privately for a while not but have come to the conclusion that I prefer to be androgynous. I feel I'd be more comfortable. I have a long way to go and many question but found this place and it looks like an awesome place to be involved with! :)

I'm a bit confused now, but I hope that time here will make me understand a bit more and make some new friends.

Cheers,

Sonitne

Well, do come in!

Hi I'm Sally, 57 MTF early in a very slow transition, I lke to offer our new members refreshments - usually hot coco and my double chocolate chip cookies for the girls and pizza or cheesburgers for the boys - but we don't force anyone to adhere to that.

Just like in life gender isn't either or, it is a sliding scale with a place on it for everyone - so help yourself to what ever you would like - I'm in a cheeseburger mood myself - it is nearly luch time, but don't think I won't finish it off with a cookie or two.

The point is we are non judgmental around here, you can go all over the playground and post where ever you like - we are all here to help each other.

Now just sit her in the members lounge and people will come to say hi (as soon as the smell the food - that's the new member signal) :D

Love ya,

Sally

WOW - look at the welcome!

Let me add WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!

I feel your confusion... and let me just say, don't worry about labels. You are just fine however you are. I am seriously senior like a few of us and I struggled for YEARS with my identity. I found out it is called gender dysphoria (Wikipedia that!). And there are a lot of us.

A gender specialist type therapist will help you beyond you wildest imagination! Oh yes...

There lies the key....

But look around and see what you see, ask questions, post answers. We value your opinions!

wow, thanks for the welcoming embrace, all :)

I'll look into a gender therapist when things calm down a bit here and I have a stable job situation.

I decided to join now because my gf was out of town and I went and dressed up in her clothes again. I told her about it once, that we could incorporate it into sex as it is a bit of a fetish as well for me. Gender role-play that is. But now I'm getting to the point where I want to change my appearance on a semi-permanent basis. I shaved off my beard and have cut my hair more androgynous like. My gf has said she likes me with the beard but I think I'm going to just explain I like it better. Something I'm not sure is true, I look better with the goatee in guy mode but as you would expect it does not fit well in girl mode. If only they could develop a retractable beard :P

Not sure what exactly to do.

Hello Sonitne, and welcome to Laura's!!!

I can tell you not only are you welcome, but I am very sure you will find the support and answers to your questions that you need...I've only been here for around 3 weeks (roughly), and from the gitgo I have found Laura's to be a most wonderful and very genuine place to be...you have probably been on other forums as I have, and I suspect that you have already found Laura's to be supportive, loving, embracing, and superior (I'm a little biased I think :) ) to anything else online...

Again, welcome, and I look forward very much to being your sister.

Love,

Meredith

      Wow! Hopefully that encounter is amicable! I can only imagine what might be going through your mind right now!   I was a bit of a prude, I don't even need a whole hand of fingers to count my sexual partners on. Good old fear-based Catholic "sex ed" did its number on me.   I get nervous walking into men's rooms. I don't look the part for the either restroom these days, I guess. I did use the women's at the convention I volunteered at (the restrooms were temporarily made gender free though), it was nice having a stall to use without waiting.   The whole bathroom debate is so stupid. Genital-based restroom assignments aren't going to stop people intending abuse and there are laws for handling them already. It's the fear the laws strike and the conditions they creates is the problem, fomenting distrust and hate. Who cares who is in the stall next to you? Let them pee in peace!

      Good morning! Just finishing my delayed coffee after fasting for routine bloodwork.   Just had my annual physical and I came out to my Dr. He was so kind and said if/when I want to start HRT they have a couple endocrinologists who specialize in transition and he could give me a referral. So nice! Not quite ready to jump into that yet, but he was so understanding. Another small step in my social transition. I feel so happy! 😊

      I am ambidextrous. I learned to write righty in school so I usually write with my right hand but my handwriting is better if I use my left hand. I use a lefty mouse. I am physically stronger in my left side.

      Easy, I have felt the same way, not quite to the point of wanting to quit but sitting there one dosing morning and thinking "what am I doing?". I am in a crazy place right now; family is moving across the country, I am being laid off for the first time in my career and have to find a new job, and I'm in the middle of this gender journey that seems like it makes everything harder than it could be. I'd always been a "man with boobs", even when I was in my 20s and really skinny I had breast tissue, and now I'm accepting of that and want more but in a different way--I don't want to be a man with boobs, I want something different. I am something different, but it's hard because of nearly a half-century of social programing. So I empathize with your struggle, very directly.   I haven't dressed "male" for nearly six months and I just volunteered at a conference with my femme nickname and she/her pronouns on my name lanyard. The whole experience was great, I didn't feel a minute of anxiety or worry. That stuff comes at home, when left to my thoughts. Which is more telling? The comfort being Mae in public or the doubts and worry in private?   When I look in the mirror and see this more feminine me, it calms down the doubts and worry, so I'm starting to allow myself to trust in the former.

      Totally!  I started HRT 21 months ago.  I'm 53yo now.  I mostly did not want the feminine genes of my family to take me over.  I told my doctor I wanted athletic breasts.  She has kept me on fairly low doses and I'm avoiding progesterone so far.   It's mostly mental for me.  Taking the pressure off from not having erections is soothing and changes my thinking.  I just want that stuff gone.  I had fun with it, but I'm over it.   I'm extremely happy with what has happened with my breasts.  Perhaps it took more than a year, but they have a feminine, athletic appearance now.  I don't notice changes in the rest of my body.  I've always enjoyed being thin and straight and have no desire for curves.  I can dig that butch with a feminine touch look.  I was upset at cutting my hair, but I'm liking it now.   It's fun to see all these young transwomen in my environment.  Everyone has their own style and the younger generation has a style of their own compared to us older people.   OK, back to baking a pie and doing some knitting....

      I have one daughter who is left handed.  But she is fairly ambidextrous.  Apparently you have to be.

      The time I spent "on the street" was mostly in the woods.  I dislike cities.  Even now my "bathroom" is out in the back yard, and has been for years.  When you're used to it, it's not so bad.  Helps one keep up with the seasons. I have no desire to live on the street in a city. Most of my adult kids live in cities.  It's nice enough for a visit, but I still prefer the country.
