Hello,

My name is Gloria. I am a 13 yr post-op TS, I am married to the same person, my wonderful wife, for 39 yrs. I spent 21 yrs in the service and 18 years in the postal service. I transistioned while in the postal service and had my GRS in Wisconson June 25 1996.

My wife and I ran a group for married couples for several years but our home was located too far away from a main city and eventually our group broke up. We have both since retired and move to the sunny and recently very rainy south. We are thinking about getting active in a group again and offering our experience to other couples.

enough for now.

Hello, Gloria!

Oh my! How very nice to meet you!

First off...Happy Memorial Day ...from one vet to another!

Secondly ...it is great to have another person here that remains with a loving partner...That just warms my heart! This September my wife and I will have been married 30 years and we're staying together. I've just started my transition (starting my 4th month HRT) and we live in South East Ohio!

It is so wonderful having you here and I know that I'll probably be PM'ing (private message) for advice!

You can use the messenger after 5 posts...so get at it......ok?

Welcome to the Playground, Hon....

I hope my wife and can help in any way we can.

Hi Brenda,

I am where I want to be in life. 13 yrs post op, happily married, and retired. My nexy hurtled is updating my passport and a gentleman just sent me a list of the information I need to provide to do this. My retired ID is in the name of Gloria but the only snag (not a snag really) is to keep my wife covered by my healthcare I am still listed as male. Until the military can learn to accept the way we are I am stuck.

I am at the point in life where I want to give back to the community (you all) by helping any way I can. If I can help by shareing my experiences then I will. If my helps come in the form of a kind ear I am here.

Always,

Gloria

Hi Paula,

I was 45 when I started therapy, 46 when I started HRT and RLT and reborn June 25th 1996. So good luck and most of all remember and enjoy life. The transexual is a most extrodinary person. How many people do you know that one day goes to sleep and when they wake up their dream of a lifetime has actually come true. Of course etting to that day can be a little rough but if you pursue your dream it will happen.

It's great to meet you Gloria!

I am a new comer to the playground too and just came out to my wife of 19 years last weekend. I know we will have a bumpy road ahead of us; it's encouraging to see that you have had such a wonderful marriage!

      Thank you. I am just used to seeing trans guys who pass at like... 6 months to 1 year, at the most 3 years. And I just don't meet the mark, all the way at 6 years. It is possible with time I will masculinize more, but it's frustrating when I'm "behind" and may never catch up. It threatens my mental health mostly, possibly my physical health if I'm visibly trans (though I don't ever go out alone).

      Boss is happy with everything with me and said I will be the only one that works on one customer's truck.This customer saw me clean a small grease spot in the inter of his Kenworh last week,on the steering wheel.A new customer too,saw me walk out with my tub o' towels wiping that grease stain off.This one,he cannot stand a grease spot in the interior.

      Yeah, I am grieving the man I "should" have been. He will never exist, especially not in my youth. But I don't know how to healthily go about it instead of fixating on the life that could have been.

      Going to the conventions has been one of my ways to deal with this stuff.

      Sorry it took me a while to respond!    I would like to get to know you. :) I only have mental disabilities. Schizoaffective disorder, depression, and anxiety. The last two are severe and very treatment-resistant. I did have physical problems for some time, but it was caused by an antipsychotic medication (Invega). It basically crippled me, muscle weakness/fatigue, basically could barely walk (used mobility devices) and doctors were useless since they didn't suspect the medication I was on! I've finally ditched antipsychotics (hopefully for good, unless my symptoms come back). I usually don't share like this, especially in person, but hey, I'm anonymous. :)   I'm not expecting reciprocation at all btw, these things are personal. There is more to us than disabilities, so tell me about yourself if you still wanna talk!
    • EasyE
      thanks for the insight ... good to know things are being well thought-out ... it is no easy topic for sure, as many of us on here have been wrestling with this stuff for years and decades...

      @KymmieLWOW! He is absolutely horrible! Definitely one of the worst boss's. 
    • KymmieL
      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.
    • Ashley0616
      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      Welcome what kind of gaming do you like?

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.
    • Sally Stone
      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.
