Hello everyone!

My name is Kim and I’m new to this community! 

I’m glad that I’m here and able to connect with people that feel the same way!

excuse my English grammar mistakes if you do find them lol haha! English is my second language!

I have been feeling very depressed and hopeless lately and I’ve never felt like that before it’s just was really hard!

I’m crying every day like really warm tears!!!

I’m here on this forum with hope to find some help and advice!

I’m married to a male assigned at birth who identify as gay! And at the time we were dating and got married everything was fine and I was thinking that I’m a feminine gay guy! ( a male assigned at birth)!

but there’s that voice u hear in your head 

that there is something isn’t right but I kept ignoring that voice! And kept telling myself that I’m just a gay guy who like to take care of my look and act a little girly!

but long story short! I’ve been questioning everything all over again! 

Who I’m I ? Was I born im the wrong body!

I start getting flashbacks of the past when I was little kid wearing my mom’s makeup and her stuff and always playing with Barbie! 

Writing this making me very emotional right now!!!!

I’m just trying to find my true self!

I strongly believe that my true self is a girl!

I still identify as a guy though! 

because I’m afraid and scared of a lot of things, I don’t  know how my husband going to react, people at work, my parents and siblings, my friends! Basically everyone in my circle!

like I said before I’m not sure when and how I’m gonna do it!

I need help and I’m very scared!

 

thank you all!

Hi Kim,

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

 

It's scary when we begin to accept that we are trans. We begin worrying about all the implications. This is very normal. The thing we have to do is take things one day at a time. Slow down, take a deep breath. Take time to come to an understanding of ourselves. There's no need to even put a label on yourself yet. We are here for you. Go ahead and do some reading of posts here and reply as you wish. 

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf ??

Welcome Kim.  I'm glad you found us and can share your feelings.  My journey and sexual feelings were different.  I was presenting as a heterosexual male and am still with my wife of 48 years(in June).  Finding a path to self acceptance and expression has taken time.  I was helped greatly by a gender therapist as well as reading and posting here.  Fear of the reactions of others perhaps affects all of us.  I know those fears affected me greatly.  Each time i took a small step it got a little bit easier and i also became more certain of my path.

Just try to enjoy the journey!

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Hello Kim and welcome!  Identifying as a guy while enjoying "feminine" activities is fine.  Its OK to be YOU.  What do you envision as a goal?  There are lots of steps along the gender scale for you to find your place.   As you are already in a same sex marriage I'm not sure I would be too concerned about others reactions as they will more than likely go with the flow and accept you as you are.  As we often do I recommend that you check out a therapist to speak with.   I found it most helpful and you might as well.   Please join in the conversation.

 

Cheers, Jani

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
