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.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I don't know what I'd call this

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      a friend wants to cook for me

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      Project 2025

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.
