Hi, I'm Cassie


Cassie

Recommended Posts

I recently figured out my true identity, and feel very alone. I've started therapy, and she's wonderful, but I can only see her once a week for an hour. I just want to communicate with others like me, if there are any, or at least a sympathetic ear. I'm a girl in the wrong body, stuck living in a place where I can't be my true self. As an additional cosmic joke I like girls, as a lesbian, not a hetero male. I'm aware that makes no sense. 

 

I'm really just looking to make friends to have someone to talk to.

Hi Cassie, from what you have written you are going to fit into this place very well, so get looking, reading, and throwing your own voice into things.  The fact you have a counselor is one of the best things we hear, especially since you say you have only recently identified your True Self.   Sexuality is the least of your concerns since being Trans is not primarily about having sex.  Other things are more important, but yes, you sound like one of us.

Hi Cassie,

Welcome to Transpulse. I'm glad you're here!

 

I think we all felt very alone when we first accepted that we are trans. I know I did. But you're not alone anymore. We've got each other now!

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf ??

Hi Cassie,

 

I am in the same boat, in some ways.  I am attracted to girls.  I've spent my whole life being fed guys should like girls, and I've never really considered being attracted to men.  What you are going through may not make a lot of sense, but if you are like me you have some growing to do.  What doesn't make sense now, may make perfect sense later.  It's kinda like how people used to think evil spirits caused disease, but now we know it is tiny little germs.  Give yourself time, and discover yourself a little more each day.

Thank you for saying that. It feels good to know there's a place where I can be accepted. :)

Thank you! One reason I feel alone is that I'm a city girl, but I've been moved to a very small, conservative town and I'm totally out of my element. I think your website will be very helpful.

Cassie,

Welcome to Transpulse.  I think you will find this is a great place to explore yourself.  I noticed you added your voice to several postings--keep it up.  It is wonderful to have you here.

Hi Cassie.  I found that reading about others and posting about my own journey was a great help in self acceptance.  We are all on different paths but the ability to be honest without being judged is wonderfully helpful.

Glad you've joined us.  Enjoy this journey!

 

Hugs,

      I had a pretty serious porn addiction for awhile (thankfully broken about 12 years ago), and so my wife sees my "trans-ness" tied into that ... to her, it is all one ugly thread of sexual sin and dysfunction... sometimes, I do struggle with it, too. Is this just another branch of a sexual addiction thing? Am I looking for a substitute for the porn?   When I sift through everything it seems much deeper than that. And if anything, the HRT has lowered/changed my libido and it hasn't lowered my desire to move in a more feminine direction with dress, etc. It can be confusing, especially when you are in a very religious/moralistic environment...   To get back to the main topic, the fear of change and the unknown is huge. And like others have said, folks on the fringe of just about any cause tend to be what gets played up in the media and what folks see the most. Not many people see good ol' regular transgender people who are just trying to live their lives, hold down jobs, take care of their families, etc.

      Isn't it illegal to be examining people's genitals without their consent?    Could've sworn that was some sort of law already.

      Hi Vidanjali, both of my parents had pasted on in their lifetimes.

      Oddly i often feel i pass but then bump into someone who reads my past attempts at maleness.    Last week at the market a man spoke me as i went back to my car.  I heard "You are beautiful"!  Odd!!!!!  Then he said something about marriage and i started to get worried.  Turned out he is married to a trans woman.  He was sweet and probably is tuned to trans folks but it was a bit disquieting.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I decided to power wash our back porch and the porch furniture so the uniform of the day is a skort, t-shirt over a sports bra and flip flops with my hair pulled back into a ponytail.

      It's been touched on in another thread, the perception that the folks who scream loudest in favor of free speech are also the loudest in wanting to stifle the freedom of people not like themselves.

      I wonder if the LGBTQI+ umbrella should be split? Create separate entities for LGB and TQI+ folk?    I have no doubt that some cis het people probably think that sexuality and gender identity are the same thing, for whatever the reason, not necessarily willful ignorance. It would be natural for such people to observe that both LGB and T folk are under the same umbrella, so they must be the same, right?   Just as (and I know I'm making some pretty big assumptions in this post) some cis gay folk would think that the LBGTQI+ umbrella is pie - give trans people a slice, and somehow, they will miss out. Just like cis het folk might also think that their lives are somehow being diminished by allowing trans people to have basic human rights.

      Some anxiety is building up inside.

      Suppressing your emotions because you’re afraid of them can be bad for your physical and mental health. Here’s what to do instead. When a toddler feels a “big” emotion, like anger or sadness, they tend to have a big tantrum on the floor. And these tantrums can be a lot to observe, full of thrashing, screaming, and tears. But a child reacts like this because the emotion they’re feeling is uncomfortable, maybe even painful.   Of course, as adults, we feel emotions too, and those feelings can be just as overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even painful as they were when we were children, even if we don’t let ourselves react in such a big way. But, sometimes, in our attempts to not give in to our emotions, we go too far: we run from them or suppress them — even if that harms us in the long run. Although there are many reasons we might suppress our emotions, one of them is that we are afraid of our emotions. Fear of emotions is called “animotophobia. It is not an official term in the DSM-5-TR. Still, fearing your emotions can have a significant impact on your well-being.
