Hi all,

 

So very happy to find a transgender forum!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope all of you are having a smashing day so far.

 

I wanted to introduce myself, My name is Cara I knew I was female at the age of 5 and when my Dad found out I got beaten up many time before he decided to leave the family home. I tried to come out in school only to get beaten up with a few bones broken in the process. I then put a fake macho image on but my feelings never went away, I got married in 2010 with no children to a controlling but loving wife and as my feelings grew I threw myself into work to the point when I was realised I need to transition, I was so scared I would lose everything that I attempted suicide (Please speak to someone if you feel this way - never keep to yourself). Now I am in the process of getting private help and on a 3 year waiting list for the NHS.

 

I came out to my employer, family, friends and wife, which was hard but worth it as I feel a giant burden lifted off my shoulders and whenever I am buying, wearing womens clothes and putting make up I am so much more comfortable in my skin!

 

I look forward to talking to more of you, this Friday is the first day I am going to fully transition in public, wish me luck!

 

Take care all and stay safe

 

Cara

Hello and welcome Cara! Nice to meet a fellow Essex girl, too. :D 

 

If you've not come across their site before, https://transliving.co.uk is an Essex based community that I found very helpful when I was still living in Essex. ❤️

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Cara, and thank you for sharing your story with us.  I'm happy for you that you are at least on the waiting list for medical help with transition.  The wait will be more than worth it.  Best of luck tomorrow on your first day out as you.  Please look around the forums and post in any threads which interest you.

 

HUGS

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      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🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      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.
