Hi, I'm James!

Hey there! My name is James and my pronouns are he/him.

 

I've identified as nonbinary for the past four or so years but it never felt quite right, and I never felt any need to come out to anyone other than my closest friends. I finally realized the other day that I'm a guy and I immediately want to tell everyone. So far I've told my husband and a couple close friends and they've been very supportive and loving about it.

 

I'm 32 and I'm a stay at home mom (not sure what language I'm gonna use there so I'm sticking with mom for now) to very fun 3 year old. 

 

I'm looking forward to meeting you all and figuring myself out a bit more ?

Hello James and welcome to TransPulse!

 

It's great when your spouse is supportive isn't it? With him in your corner, you can do anything! I hope you find what you're looking for here. We're good at listening!

 

Hugs!

Thanks for the welcome! It is definitely a huge plus that my husband is so supportive. I was really nervous because despite him being amazing through my whole journey, until recently (like, the past couple weeks) I still viewed myself as a female-aligned enby and to the best of my knowledge, he still considered himself straight. As soon as I tore down the last bit of female-ness, I started to think "wait...am I..." but would panic before I could even consider the possibility because I was afraid he wouldn't want to be with a guy. I finally told him I was questioning (while crying a lot) and he told me that over the past few years, he'd redefined his orientation to being "attracted to femininity" because he obviously couldn't be  completely straight if he loved me, and he would be happy to redefine himself again if he needed to ❤ Once I felt safe to explore it I knew within an hour. I know it'll still be an adjustment for him, but hearing him say "I love you James" for the first time was just the absolute best!

 

I'm also very fortunate that I'm not the first trans person in my family and everyone was really supportive of my cousin when she came out so I feel like I have a great support network among the people I care about.

I had a similar chat with my wife. She decided that her sexuality is "straight plus me." I couldn't be happier.

 

Hugs!

Welcome James! Sounds like you’ve got a great foundation of support, with your husband on you side. With several other folks in your corner, that makes it all the better. Looking forward to hearing more of your story, when you’re ready to share. Have a wonderful day! Hugs!

      "Exstatic" is an adjective that means feeling great rapture or delight. For example, "His wife gave birth to their first child, and he was ecstatic about it". Synonyms of "ecstatic" include rapturous, entranced, enthusiastic, and frenzied.

      @Ladypcnj So nice to meet a fellow musician and moderator/facilitator. Glad you are an active and caring member of the LBGTQ+ community.

      Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward.

      Good morning, everyone!!   A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!!   Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      I started shaving my legs years ago - I started getting an occasional mild contact rash on my shins. That became my excuse to shave them for both me and my wife. Over time, the rash didn't expand...but my shaving did. Full legs....groin......chest......and finally my arms. Keeping the rash at bay was my excuse until I came out to my wife. Now I typically do a full shave on Sunday mornings. The hair is lighter but I just feel better with it gone - it helps with the dysphoria and dysmorphia. I will also typically do a chest touch-up mid week since I notice the growth more there.   I wish someone would invent a pill that would stop hair growth everywhere except on your head.

      Good morning.   im not sure where the time went.  I had a decent nights sleep,  didn’t  tell Alexa to let me sleep another 5 minutes,  I didn’t do anything extra but it’s almost time to leave and I just got here.  Definitely only a one cup morning.    I have the overhead console out of the Ford. It needed some repairs with toothpicks and glue.  Been sitting all night t for the glue to harden. I’m always to impatient with glue but not this time.  I want it to hold. Ok the next owner won’t be able to change the lightbulbs however in my defense, the are led so they will likely still work when the car goes to the salvage yard.   gotta go. Not as much on my plate at work today but it’s always busy.   Willow

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!
