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.

 

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.

      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.

      They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.
    • KayC
      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
