Hello everyone! I have been looking for a good community where I could interact in a semi-anon way as I start the (rather terrifying) early steps in questioning my gender identity. I hope to benefit from the vast and varied experiences of other members as I navigate the waters of my own personal journey.

A little about me~! I'm a 30+ masculine person who was AFAB. I love video games, kpop, and other fandomy/geek stuff. I build cool things in Minecraft, write trashy vampire fiction, and I love hearing about the creative projects and passions of my friends. 

Excited to be here! If you want to be extra welcoming, tell me about something cool you're working on. :)

Welcome, JK. Wow, we have a lot in common. Both masculine afab into games and geeky stuff. Although, I'm into more jpop than kpop and trashy werewolf fiction as opposed to vampires. Although, there was than one story... 

 

Anywho, I have no doubt you'll have a great time here. I'm also pretty new but everyone's been really welcoming so far.

Hi JK,  pleased to meet you :)  I think you'll find you have wandered into the right place, you can interact as much as you like and there are plenty of threads to read or questions to ask!

Wish I had something cool I could say I am working on, but really I'm quite sad and there isn't anything :( There are plenty of us here who are into different elements of geek culture and from what I've seen quite a few talented artists and poets too. Are you a console or PC player?

I play PS4 co-op games mostly so love building in Minecraft, and I love RPG's and read just about anything in the fiction genres when I get the time.

Welcome JK, Thank you for becoming part of our little community. It’s always nice to see new faces here. Hope to read some posts of yours in the near future. I’m sure you have some interesting stories and helpful information for others...so if you’re willing...Join in the fun!

 

As far as ‘cool’ projects...not sure my current project qualifies as ‘cool’ but for me it’s a much needed project for sure. I just went to Home Depot and bought 3 sets of stacking wood shelving designed for shoes. I’m finished putting together the first one and have two more to build and then I’ll be assigning a section of our closet for all my shoes. I hard to believe I need something that holds this many shoes but in the last 2 years, I’ve managed to find a new hobby apparently. This is far contrast to the 6 or 7 pairs of shoes needed prior to transition.?

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

@ThatDarnDodo Somehow I missed your post! ? I love some good werewolf trash and jpop too! I'm a little more into the vkei scene in Japan, but I was a sucker for Johnny's groups and Morning Musume back in the day. Still check out AAA's stuff whenever it comes out. I have a feeling we could talk for like hours... XD XD XD

@DeeDee I missed your post too~! I used to be very loyal to the PS4 and it's proceeding consoles, but I got into some creative games like planet coaster on PC and once I got Minecraft it turned me into a PC player for sure. Still love my PS4 but might upgrade my PC instead of buying the next gen. Love a good RPG, and all the reading. ❤️ Thank you for the warm welcome. 

@Jani Thank you, I shall! :)

Hi JK!  nice to meet you and Welcome!

 

That is the exact same reason I was fortunate to stumble across this Forum via a random internet search, AND its been the best experience for me (and I know others too).
I hope you find the same and are able to connect with others in your same part of the journey and gain valuable experience at the same time.

Deep breaths ... one step at a time❣️

Hi @JK and welcome! I'm new here as well and hope to gain knowledge, support, and have some fun too!

 

Not really a cool project, but in the process of moving inlaws into senior living, getting their house ready to sell, then getting our house ready to sell so we can move to a better state! 

 

I'm also researching and working on coming out letters...not sure if I'll ever use them but doing it just in case.

      Our government is huge and could, and probably should, be streamlined. But we are living in 2024, and not the late 18th century.  The founders did provide for updating the Sacred Constitution.  And it has been done on occasion.   There is a lot going on, and I don't want to be a single issue voter.  But I feel that it is being forced on me as a matter of my survival.

      How about if we get back on topic?

      Many women my age wear their hair super-short, and I don't really have a need to have it long.  Longer in places where I can't grow it, if it is long  No aspirations to be a supermodel here.  The mustache would have to go before the wig comes if I ever did that.  I am threading a narrow path.

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      One month here. Huh.

      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      What's normal?🤪   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾😁

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.
