Hello Again

Hi, I created an account here a little over a year ago. At that time, I was living in a supervised living program for the mentally ill when I came out as FtM transgender. Because I was being harassed by my neighbors, I was forced to move to a new city. 

 

Now, I am living on my own for the first time ever. Sadly, I am not in a place in my life where I am able to transition medically, but I live an as out genderqueer and pansexual individual.

Welcome back! I'd say don't worry about transition, you'll get there if you want to. It's awesome you can be out and be yourself!

Medical transition is great, hon.  But you can still be you without it, at least for now.  Can you cut your hair to something close to a man's style?  Can you wear men's clothes and shoes?   That may not be the same as social transition, but it can go a long way towards making you feel better about yourself.  There are many of us who can't or don't want to medically transition.  We work around it and do the best we can.  Someone close to me doesn't want to do hormones, but she goes out every day as herself and is very happy.

 

Do what is possible, even if that means not doing what is most desirable.  The important thing is to be as happy as you can be, every single day.

Welcome back Mochi.

Glad you are able to express yourself this point.  We never know what life may bring.

Please share here as you wish.  We can help each other as few can.

 

Hugs,

Hi Mochi, welcome back!

 

Don't despair too much as how you are having to live. If the dysphoria is not too great it can be interesting and, although tricky at times, becomes stable as you are probably finding out.

Hi! Welcome back! 

Your neighbors should have been the ones that had to leave, sorry to hear that you were harassed. 

Congratulations on living alone. That is a big step for anyone. Since you are out, and about, Enjoy living Out freely. I can’t wait until  I can Live and go about Freely. For now I am doing as much as I can inside, and have only come out to one friend. I have been very fortunate being able to be on my HRT Lady Meds and just recently had an Orchie. I hope to gain the courage that you and other have, and Be Out and about. I’m hoping I can muster this courage for Pride this year. 

Until then, I hope the best for you and your journey. Be patient when possible. I know it’s not easy, especially when my real self is screaming to come out. At these moments, I am grateful for where I’m at, and look forward to when I can be my true self. Stay strong!

Starting next month, I am going to get a men's haircut and select men's glasses. I am also going to try to go shopping on my own and buy some more masculine or gender neutral clothes.

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!

      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

      Good morning coffees   This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me.  I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that.   upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night.  They woke me up.  They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity.   @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss?  I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way.  If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday.   @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better.     Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more.  I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish.  But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood.     well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work.    willow

      I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.
