Hello. My name is Sabrina. (MtF) I only realized I'm trans this year in March. I'm 46 and working towards surgeries. My favorite things to do are read and go to fantasy/sci fi conventions. I dont have many trans friends at all. It doesn't help that I have anxiety and am pretty awkward.?

Welcome Sabrina!

 

I get being awkward. I'm queen of the geeks (Seriously. Geekiest person at my D&D table. Easily.). I'm less awkward now that I'm out if I'm being honest. Avid reader. Haven't been to a sci-fi convention in a while, but I used to go to Origins and GenCon every year (haven't because of money considerations, sadly).

 

Before I came here, I had like one other trans friend. Keep in mind we're about 1 in 200. There aren't that many of us and we don't really stand out. I know some people from group though. Not really well enough to call them friends though because divergent interests (see Queen of the Geeks, above).

 

Hope to hear from you. You can ask us anything and we all do our best to help each other along.

 

Hugs!

Welcome Sabrina, no Trans friends yet?  That's probably going to change fairly soon.  It did for me after I started my transition last year.  They're are likely a few of us around but the chances are low they'll be knocking on doors looking for you.  Put yourself out there a bit and try to find some new friends in your local Trans community...maybe a support group of some kind.  In the meantime, we are here to help in any way we can.

 

I'm glad you found us.  I'd enjoy reading more about you and your journey.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

As they say. Better late than never. Many on here started later than they would have wished to so. me being one of them. You are not alone.

 

As far as surgery goes. walk before you run. Only you know how you feel and those feelings may change. Be sure before you commit to anything life changing.

Well take a look above this post and maybe below. WE are all potential new freinds. Granted its only the internet. But freindships can be formed in many ways. You have come to the right place.

 

 

I look forwald to reading your future posts and hope we can collectivly help you out.

Hi Sabrina. Welcome aboard.

 

I also love reading and going to SFF conventions and also have anxiety, so in similar company.

 

Hope you find some friends around on here.

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Sabrina.  I hope that after being here for a while, some of that anxiety will fade away and be replaced by the knowledge that you are in a very tight knit, supportive "family" of folks who understand you.

 

HUGS

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      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.

      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.
