Hello, everyone

Hello, all.
My name is Trey. I’m a 31 yo trans man from the American Deep South. I am fully out but just starting my transition. I have autism, which makes my situation a bit more complicated; I currently cannot work, so I live with my mother, who does not approve of my transition. I’m about to start testosterone anyway, and I am excited about it!

I enjoy taking care of animals and have a degree in biology which I hope to put to good use one day. In the meantime, I teach fencing once a week and watch a lot of TV. I like to sew and lift weights (take that, gender norms!). My favorite fandoms are Sherlock, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Star Wars.

I’m glad to have a place where I can talk about transgender topics with other trans people!

 

See you in the forums!

Hi Trilly!  You've got a good group of activities going there.  I like your hairstyle.  It works well with the glasses style you wear.  Please join in.  We'd love to hear more from you.  I love the poster on your wall!

Hey Trey....Welcome.  I have several trans man friends in the south.  They are doing fine in their communities but some additional thoughts about safety seem necessary..

As a fellow animal lover i must now walk the house dog, feed the goats and the guardian dog.  That dog lives with the goats and protects them from coyotes and black bears.

Glad you've joined us here.

 

Hugs,

Another fellow crafter! I knit, and have been knitting since I was 6. Do you do cross-stitching?

Cool. I can knit mittens, sweaters, hats, blankets, scarves, you name it and give me a week and I will probably have it done. I feel like people often look down on guys who do traditionally feminine things, but I think it is pretty kickbutt to be able to make your own clothes. I would sew more often, if I wasn't so clumsy that I always prick myself.

Homemade is the best. My sister's Christmas present was a black and white portrait of Mary Lambert that I drew

      "Exstatic" is an adjective that means feeling great rapture or delight. For example, "His wife gave birth to their first child, and he was ecstatic about it". Synonyms of "ecstatic" include rapturous, entranced, enthusiastic, and frenzied.

      Do you plan to be active during Pride Month? If so, what type of activities?

      @Ladypcnj So nice to meet a fellow musician and moderator/facilitator. Glad you are an active and caring member of the LBGTQ+ community.

      Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward.

      Good morning, everyone!!   A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!!   Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      I started shaving my legs years ago - I started getting an occasional mild contact rash on my shins. That became my excuse to shave them for both me and my wife. Over time, the rash didn't expand...but my shaving did. Full legs....groin......chest......and finally my arms. Keeping the rash at bay was my excuse until I came out to my wife. Now I typically do a full shave on Sunday mornings. The hair is lighter but I just feel better with it gone - it helps with the dysphoria and dysmorphia. I will also typically do a chest touch-up mid week since I notice the growth more there.   I wish someone would invent a pill that would stop hair growth everywhere except on your head.

      Good morning.   im not sure where the time went.  I had a decent nights sleep,  didn’t  tell Alexa to let me sleep another 5 minutes,  I didn’t do anything extra but it’s almost time to leave and I just got here.  Definitely only a one cup morning.    I have the overhead console out of the Ford. It needed some repairs with toothpicks and glue.  Been sitting all night t for the glue to harden. I’m always to impatient with glue but not this time.  I want it to hold. Ok the next owner won’t be able to change the lightbulbs however in my defense, the are led so they will likely still work when the car goes to the salvage yard.   gotta go. Not as much on my plate at work today but it’s always busy.   Willow

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.
