Hi All,

I'm Joanne and I'm new to this site but not to the Transgender community.

Those that follow the TG threads on Quora may recognize me. I am a Top Writer 2018 and a most viewed Writer on many TG themes.

I have been partly out and about as a transwoman / crossdresser since the late 1960's when I was young and beautiful.

 

I am a fully transitioned and out transwoman who is active in her community. My transition was a protracted affair and relatively recently completed. 

My life is now authentic rather than a continuous performance of a masculine character. This brings me great joy.

 

I look forward to meeting many of you through our shared thoughts

 

Cheers

Joanne

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Joanne.  Kudos to you for being a pioneer in the community, whether full time or part time, complete or not.  That was not an easy time to be out in the 60's (or 70's or 80's, for that matter).

 

Your experience and expertise will be appreciated here in the forums, I'm sure.  I look forward to hearing more about your life..

 

HUGS

Hi Joanne.  I dressed in the 60's (and as a child in the 50's) but hid as well as i could.  Today like you i am living my life as myself and have been full time for close to 7 years now.  It is simply lovely to be open and honest in the world and it seems one can live as oneself today without being driven out of the town i grew up in.  This part of NJ is actually rural but even the right wing republicans seem to be relatively accepting.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Thanks All for the words of welcome.

Charlize your comments on rural conservatives made me chuckle.

I live rural and buy lots from old farmers.  One insists on introducing me whenever I encounter him. He introduces me a Joanne, one of those OK Trans types not the weird kind. I reply that Bob is one of those strange old farm types, not spooky just strange. We have both adapted.

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By VickySGV · Posted

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      By Susan R · Posted

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

      This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone.  It is a no-brainer.

      OMG.  I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly.  Lots of blood can be scary.

      Like I said, I'm no tankie, but I do see a world of difference between Joseph Stalin and Bernie Sanders.   If the point is not wanting 'government control' the Right is pretty good at that themselves - as they've been demonstrating lately. This stuff gets complicated.

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      So, I am curious. Is the Governor going to mandate vaginal or penile recognition photos before one enters the restroom? Considering the Governor has no balls to do the right thing, will he have to pee against a tree outside? Inquiring minds would like to know. I love it when the job recruiters contact me about the wonderful jobs available in Oklahoma. It is so much fun telling them there is no way I will ever go to Oklahoma. When there are no workers, then they can shutter the place.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      By Jet McCartney · Posted

      Ngl, probably Sonic the Hedgehog, the Beatles, or the Monkees. Those are the three subjects I know the most about so I could drop hours of info on them.

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!
