Hi!! My name is Jade ❤️

 

So, I've very recently accepted that I am trans after so many years of lurking on trans websites and repressing. I'm so unbelievably happy and excited about it! And honestly a little scared, but you know, lol. I'm very excited to meet everyone!

 

I actually found this forum after trying to find my way to Laura's Playground. I used to spend a lot of time there several years ago when I was younger and first questioning things. I remember it was one of my favorite websites, but now I can't find it anywhere. A lot of people seem to not remember it, I guess because it was a long time ago lol. And now the URL brings me here? Is this site related to Laura's Playground?

Salutations Jade and welcome to TransPulse!

 

Happy, excited and a little scared sounds about right, but not to worry, we're a friendly and supportive community. I hope you find everything that you're looking for and more!

Yes, but it was before my time so it's not really my story to tell. Not that I know much of anything. I get the impression there was drama involved but I don't really know the specifics. Not helpful to dredge up old business, y'know?

 

Hugs!

Welcome @jadewaters, It’s a pleasure to meet you. Like you, I visited Laura’s Playground years ago but only a few visits. I was still in complete denial about my identity. After such a long time denying the truth, it’s refreshing to finally accept who we are...despite that road being the one much less travelled. With good support, allies, and understanding, you’ll do well, I’m sure. Being a little scared is normal when traveling into the unknown but you may just find out it’s just what you need.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

Welcome Jade,

 

From one newbie to another, the people here are so welcoming, encouraging and inspiring that you couldn't possibly ask for a better place to be yourself.

Hi and Welcome, Jade!

Really happy to have you join us here!  I am relatively new, have had similar issues with repression (as many others here have also).


Looking forward to hearing more from you❣️

Hi Jade,

Welcome to Transpulse. I'm glad you're here!

 

Yes, this site is the old Laura's Playground. The name changed when Laura transfered the site control to another, but this is formerly Laura's Playground. Just a piece of trivia now, but it was called Laura's Playground because we were starting our new lives kind of like children.

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf ?

Back around 2009 and until about 4 years ago this site was Laura's Playground, and Laura herself had managed it.  She retired as the result of a progressive illness and turned this place over to the current management who changed the name for safety reasons related to hacker attacks.  Most of the posting you read in your early days is still in our archived posts, and the Admin staff is still the same group that worked for Laura so we know the experience that you most likely had and love to keep it in the same spirit that it had been run.

 

Welcome in as an active part of the group here and we hope we can fulfill your needs and wants for the current stage of your journey.

Interesting, I didn't know that and had wondered what had ever become of Laura's Playground. Now you have me wondering if I can have my previous postings here reinstated? I had some meaty commentaries that may be useful to some of the newby's and at my age I can't recall a lot of it myself. ?

We have a large number of old posts that had to be archived when some older names did not come over during the server move when the re-named site was transferred to a new server.  The posts can be linked to new posts, but the names of the oldest members were lost and they are now identified as "guests".

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Jade.  I hope that you find this place as friendly and helpful as the old LP.  We do, after all, have many of the same staff.  We may have aged a bit, but we're still the same folks.  Please have a look around.  I look forward to hearing from you frequently.

 

HUGS

Thanks for the clarification Vicky!

Hello Jade amd welcome! Glad you are here with us ?

 

I stumbled upon Laura's Playground back in the day. Didn't join, just passed through. But I heard about it. Interesting to learn this is what it became...

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?
