my pronouns are they/them

 

I'm 20. kinda tall. My hair is red these days. I have some plants. They live on my carpeted balcony. I'm on the second floor.

 

I used to frequent sites like this as teen, though usually as a silent spectator. But quarantine has left me with to much time to stew in my own thoughts, and frankly it has not been pleasant. Plus all my trans friends are AFAB and so I can only relate to a certain degree, but I think most of them have pretty different experiences from me, so I am dredging a new well in hopes of forming meaningful human contact that has some semblance of relatability. I wouldn't say I'm experiencing a crisis of identity as much as a crisis of existence.

 

I've been hesitant to use these services since the demographics who seem to engage with these sites tend to appear older, and I am interested in connecting with folks my age.

 

Currently trying to finish this semester. I'm going to an art college and losing faith in my life choices, although frankly I've kinda been corn-holed into this route. I went to this arts middle through high school so it's like, the only thing I got going. and day by day I lose the capacity to interface even with that. Umm, if you wanna see some of my work u can peep my insta. I think there's a link in my bio, but I needa double check what that looks like.

Hi Nyx, welcome to the forum. Please don't hesitate to read around and join in as you feel. You will find a wide range of people here, many being around your age group. We are not a contact site as such but, having similar issues, friendships are often made as we are a friendly crowd and like to help each other. This is a good place to explore your gender and it's relationship to your world. There are one or two artists of varying degrees and interests.

 

I did take a quick glance at your website address (link) which appears to work Ok with cut and paste.

Hey Nyx, Welcome to the forum!!

 

I am not quite your age, but close haha. I am 3 years behind you (As of the 21st) we do share the love of art. Sadly I am AFAB but I hope we can connect in other ways. You see like a really cool person and would find it cool to talk sometime. I do enjoy knowing people as people rather than their gender.

 

I understand the quarantine struggle, for I am an extrovert in a house of introverts. It's torture, this is my only outlet. 

 

Also, if you love art. Take that love for art and run with it, leave no room for regrets. :)

Hi Nyx, welcome to the forum! We're glad to have you here with us ?

 

That piece is wild! I went to art school myself, for printmaking though I took courses in just about everything. I hear ya about losing faith in life choices. But it's hard to say I regret it. I learned a lot and met a lot of cool people.

Sick, thanks for the insight y'all. I'm currently waiting for some of my devices to charge so I can get some homework done, so I'll probably read around the sight for a minute.  Do folks who have written in a "topic" see subsiquent topic replies? If not what is the best means to like, respond so folks see it. does it have something to do with that "+ quote" button?

Hello Nyx, I just popped on your thread to welcome you here! It’s nice to have you with us contributing your thoughts and diverse artwork. Glad you found us. With a little effort and time, you’ll very likely meet others here with similar interests and age.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

If you write, or follow a topic you will get updates from it. The quote button from what I know is when you want to specifically quote a sentence or few or something. But you do get notifications.

Hi Im Maid in Bedlam. My pronouns are Legend/Awesome/ Greatest dancer. The latter one isnt true really. But we live in hope or die in despair

 

The pagan symbol for power, eternity and the infinite

 

May the earth be a foundation for you.

May the air teach you

May the water cleanse you

May the fire drive you.

 

Are you a pagan Nyx?

 

 

Depending on what rituals you go by we will accept it upside down. Thats unless you have strange ideas about goats.

 

be welcome to the forum sweets. Now go forth and spread your intellectual seeds :thumbsup:

Hi and welcome Nyx.

True some of us are older. But it doesn't mean we won't stop in the hall and sit on the floor with you to chat as needed on the way to class.

:)

Unfortunately this time of quarantine has left many of us to stew in our thoughts. Don't be afraid to share.

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .
