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....

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!

      Said it is possibly ptsd and anxiety,wants a second opinion.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

    • Adrianna Danielle
      I have been having issues from my past and going to get help for.It has been from my parents whom are deceased that forced me into being the person whom I really was not before I came out.Therspist I see for my transitioning said going to refer me a therapist that deals with ptsd and anxiety issues.

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."
