Hi everyone.

I am also here after watching Jackie Rabbits you tube videos.

I am 59 years old. I started HRT 3 months before I turned 30. LOL it is nearly 30 years since I started HRT.

Unfortunately I stalled somewhere I simply never put the money together for my operation, but about a month ago I started looking into arranging my operation for next year hopefully.

When I was 30 I changed my gender role in society changed my name on my birth certificate and all other id. Next year will make 30 years living as a woman and I am so happy. 

I look forward to exploring this site and look forward to meeting new friends I hope.

Love Carrie

PS This cameo was done by my dad.  It was the first time I came out to my family I was just 30 and about 6 months. \

Enjoy!!!

Welcome @Carrie, It’s a pleasure to have you. I know without a doubt you have many stories in this last 30 years. There’s so much life experience there. I personally can’t wait to read your posts and maybe get some advice and perspectives from you.

We all can certainly learn a thing or two but hopefully you’ll get something out of your membership here too. Friendship and support are among the top of my list. As you start your journey toward surgery, you may find information here that might assist in your journey toward that goal. So stick around and join in the discussions if you are willing and thanks for sharing a little of yourself here tonight.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

 

PS: Love the cameo your Dad made for you. He must love you a lot!

Again thank you for the warm welcome! 

I hope with time to get to know a few of you here. I would like to be able to share my experiences and to share some of yours.  

This feels like a safe place to be.

It is the middle of the night here in Australia and I could not sleep so thought I would look around a little.

May we all enjoy life to the fullest.

Carrie

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Carrie.  Congrats on 30 years of living your true life.  There weren't much, if any, supportive services or information back then, so you are one of the pioneers and I admire you so much for that.  I'm certain you have a lot to offer all of us here.  Good luck with your surgery plans.

 

HUGS

      I attend a medical day-centre in Texas for needed medical services. It's religious oriented, so not gender fluid friendly. I of course dress 100% in female attire yet androgynous to keep both "them happy", and I really don't mind.    I of course am imposed rules that no other participant is bound by. The examples are the allowed size of my backpack, or how many visits per day I can see my Representative payee.  The gender neutral restroom use was a compromise that all off us have agreed to.  Not being able to wear tanks tops or shorts that aren't "Bermuda length" are other examples of where I am restricted more than any other participant. "Bra talk" is strictly forbidden, even though their doctor and occupational therapist were the ones that told me I needed support due to neck pain.    I found myself being reprimanded by staff three times yesterday for very petty details, and they have constantly pushed for me to remove myself from the program voluntarily. I am of course someone not welcomed in the program, but federal discrimination laws prevent them from removing me. They instead are just making life miserable with the hopes that I will leave on my own.

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      I am sorry for your struggles. I cannot empathize, but I can surely sympathize. I wish only the best for you! 
    • Birdie
      No, they are the only provider of services I need an my area. 😑

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way. 
    • violet r
      I been play texas chainsaw massacre game most recently. It free on game pass right now. Just need a good team
    • violet r
      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.
