Hello to everyone here at Laura's. Now where to start...huh.

Well I'm currently 16 biological male by the time of this post and trying to pinpoint my identity has a slightly feminine male or MTF transsexual.

I'm a bit of nerd, really enjoy learning about history and is currently trying to learn a second language through self-teaching software - I also enjoy watching anime/reading manga like so many on Laura's as it seems. :P

Uh...I don't really mind anyone using gender-specific pronouns or any for me currently, I suppose you can call me a he or she at will.

Hope to get to know people in this community and to come to a conclusion!

Sincerely, PowerToTheSocks.

P.S. I know, random username.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

And as you can see from my avatar some of us older love anime and manga!

So look around and see what a diverse group of people we are. It's g-rated (Laura says PG-13) and well moderated so you should be protected. And post some - and ask some questions - and be sure to look in the Teen Forum - there are a ton of good people in there - smart and willing to help you.

@Donna: I would love some coco, it's always nice to have mods be very responsive to the community they...moderate. I have lurked for some time and I find that you are very supportive and understanding to almost everyone - that being said I want to point out that I'm not sucking up. >.>

@Joe: Thanks! In all honestly I fail at coming up with usernames - I made up this on a whim.

@Leo: It is a great place! I'm feeling pretty well actually, what's going on in there in UK?

@Pól: I'm currently attempting to learn Japanese as the otaku that I am is wanting to but I hope to learn German, Chinese and a few others from my planned career path as a teacher. I'm not familiar with Irish names, I'm curious if your family is from Poland or Eastern Europe? The little ' seems rather common in names that originate from that area.

@Lizzy: Of course! I have been looking around and know I should not divulge too much information or pictures. There are some good people there too, I even found some advice that relates to my situation from here and quite a few other sites.

@Everyone before and after this post: So happy to join such a great, supportive, smart group of people!

I know nothing about Japanese, but cool! It looks hard to learn to me, but more power to you like.

Poland or Eastern Europe? :blink: No, I'm Irish, lol.

Pól anglicises to Paul, I believe. Lots of Irish names have fadas, like Seán or Róisín. Actually, if you leave the fada off the a in "Seán" it means "old." It's just part of the spelling.

'Sup, Nikk? I honestly didn't expect such early resonses with this username or even the topic...that's a good sign.

Of course you're into anime - James avatar and an open confession? C'mon. :P

Ah, sorry. I've haven't seen the fada (?) that often with Irish people I've known, pretty much seemed reserved for Eastern Europe. >.>

With Japanese, it is kind of hard with the speaking grammar with individuals or specific objects as well as the writings, even katakana is just freaky and hard to identify basic characters - kanji is hell - I'm only on the basics of Rosetta Stone too...going to be a long journey.

Hello Power To The Socks,

I am sorry that I am so late getting here - I maybe 57 but I live in the same town as my late 80s parents and today was endless doctor visits day and I got to do the driving!

I see that Donna Jean got you some refreshments, if you need anything baked (or half baked ;) ) just let me know, I'm the virtual baker here.

I see that you have met a lot of the friendly folks here and there will be more as the rotation of the Earth brings light to other countries - we are multi national here and our New Zwaland and Australians tend to populate what is late night for us.

Sit back and "Watch the Rest of the World go by", sorry, I'm a musician and everything is a song cue. :lol:

Love ya,

Sally (the Playground's version of the Keebler Elves)

Hello and welcome! I'm usually more chatty, but I am buried under work and deadlines. Do make yourself comfortable! I'm sure I'll be around to bug you later on. :)

Your username is the best thing in the history of things that has ever existed.

On that subject, welcome to Laura's!

I am a history nerd and major otaku (fan of anime and such) as well, so if you ever wanna chat about stuff like that, that's cool! >:D

You like to learn languages--I am learning Japanese, but when I get into collage I want to learn German as well. I learned the katakana and hirigana, but--kanji is EVIL FFFFFFFFF

I hope you make a lot of posts and get to know everyone, 'cause this is a great neighborhood around here! everyone is really nice and helpful, so if you have any questions at all feel free to ask anyone. You can also offer your own advice as well! >w0b

      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.

      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.
