Hi, I'm 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,

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,

      There's many words to describe the same idea -- excellent, good, amazing, incredible, great, and other synonyms, for example. It's a shame that some people can't realize that the reason that so many words exist is that it's the human experience; There's a million ways to feel the same exact thing, or to express it. That includes gender. Not everyone wants to express their gender the same way, trans or no. If we try to say in order to be trans, you have to do a, b, and c, you deny all those "flavors" and "hues" that make up the human experience.   That's just my five cents, though

      I also play guitar, not very well though and dabble in writing poems and songs. It is a very peaceful way to relax.        💗 Cynthia

      I think the first thing may be to realize we have shared interests and shared opposition.  I read an article not long ago by someone who decided to non-op and non-hrt and her transgender friends basically decided she was a traitor and not really trans and had no right to speak on trans issues.  She said many trans people say you aren't really trans unless you do the whole surgical route and legal, etc.  Some insist on the gender binary, others insist on a spectrum.  There must be an agreement to disagree.  Not all of us here have the same viewpoint or the same experience or the same condition.  But we can identify common interests, like walking into a public restroom without fear of arrest, or the right to medical care.    The divisions are severe, heart-felt, and real, but from a practical point of view we need to lay some of those aside when we can for the common interest.  Some of those we cannot lay aside because of personal integrity, but we can work across the aisle, so to speak, something sadly lacking in the public arena today.

      Thanks Vicky!  I made a mistake with my topic heading, I consider myself as a Lady but I know that not everyone here thinks that way so I apologize for that.   I should say Hi everyone!! 💗 Cynthia

      Welcome to the Forums Cynthia.   We do have gentlemen here as well who are some of the nicest guys you can get to know.
    • VickySGV
      @Mirrabooka@Abigail Genevieve Let's not neglect the severe divisions within the Trans and NB sector as well along those lines.  Where we have Non Op & Non HRT and Cross Dressers, Gender Benders, Gender Fluid, Agender et al VS. the full surgical route takers with GCS, FFS, BA and vocal surgery,   Which of those segments gets to speak for the others?  How do we turn them into a cohesive force for good just among those nominally under the Trans shade tree??

      Hi, I am Cynthia, 62 year old lifelong crossdresser.  I have been dressing off and on for as long as I can remember. In the last ten years or so I have noticed that my dressing has become a major part of my life, I went through all of the purging and confusion and I came out feeling more like a woman every day.  Self acceptance is very powerful if you truly accept who you are.    Over the last few years I have built a nice wardrobe and now spend about 80% of the time as my true self. I only wear male clothing when visiting with family and running errands. I don’t know if I am trans or not, all I know is that I absolutely love myself as a woman and that’s how I feel about myself, that I am Cynthia.   I love wearing makeup, dresses and jewelry, it feels so good and natural to me.     I am thankful to have found this special place and look forward to being a part of this beautiful community!!  I hope to learn about myself and also to participate and interact daily and to help others in their journey as well.    If I could I would absolutely live full time as a woman and hopefully with help and encourage I will one day fulfill this dream. I love being a woman and thinking of myself this way. I’ve never thought much about my pronouns but I definitely like she/her for myself!!   Thanks for reading and I look forward to being here and sharing with you all!!     💗 Cynthia

      Good morning Felix,   I don't know how aware you are of the motives behind Military Boot Camp, but the most important thing it's designed to do is break you down, physically and mentally, weeding out those who can't make it. If you really want to be a Marine after you graduate high school? Stop believing you do things better when you're high. Clean your lungs by filling them with the fresh air of cross country running. Start small, run around the block, then around the track, then from your house to the track. Run everywhere! Run, run, run, and then when you can't go any further. Run some more. Do this feeling like you're going into Boot Camp in top physical condition, and your training will still break you down. That's what it's designed to do, and you'll earn the right to be called a Marine. The best thing about your wishes to become a Marine, is that it's something you can surely do with a proper mindset. Yes, it's very physical, but most of all it's mental. My brother-in-law is a retired Marine, and I love his stories ranging from his time in boot camp, to his time as a drill instructor. These conversations are not started by him. They're usually started by my nephew who is also a Marine. I can't say enough how proud I am of my family and friends who have or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. I will be equity proud of you too.   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was always playing the boy in house, and I HATED wearing dresses. I used to dress up super masc and go out to dinner to just make sure I could still pass as a boy. I thought of it as a game but.. uh.. nope.
