Sorry, I hit the send button by accident. I was going to post I got approved to be put back on hormones today. Pick them up after I get my blood work done tomorrow. I was on them before, but I didn't take them like I was supposed to. I was taking half doses so my body wouldn't change as quick. Was trying to hide it from my girlfriend. Didn't work. She caught on when my breasts started to show. So I quit them for 3months. She broke up with me again.  I'm not sure if it's related or not, but I  went for a physical and it showed a high psa count. I had to have 2 biopsies and an mri done. Luckily it just shows suspicious material. I have to go back in 6 months for another psa count. I learned an expensive lesson about hormones and taking them properly. 1st time I took them I went through planned parenthood. This time I'm going through my primary care physician. Shes really nice ,and has been helping me through it all.

Have to do blood work tomorrow. She sent a prescription. To the pharmacy, and told me to get my blood work done, before I started taking them.

Sorry to hear you had some trouble with the first round and then the high PSA. Following doctor's orders with any medication is paramount. I am on some medications for depression that require regular blood monitoring already, so I luckily am not worried about that part as much to start HRT.

 

Best of luck with round 2 of starting agian.

Had my blood work done, picked up my hormones the same day. Been on them about 3 days now. Today's been a bummer. My girlfriend told my mom about the hormones. She knew about me cross dressing. I ve never shown anyone in my family.  Not looking forward to telling my family.

They'll get over it.  And if not you know where you stand with them.  Why would your girlfriend do that?

Being forcibly outed is never a good thing. I am sorry to hear that you had to go through that experience.

 

I can remember the first time when I thought I might be trans in High School, and my mom found my stash of her clothes hidden in my room. My mom berated me asking what was wrong with me, and even told the whole family about it during a holiday dinner. I felt like something was wrong with me, and it was not comfortable at all.

 

Be as honest as you want to be with them, and know that you're not responsible for their happiness. You are only responsible for own happiness. At least that is what my therapist keeps trying to remind me as my date comes forward.

Sorry I  disappeared. Laid down and fell asleep. My mom hasn't said to much,except to just be careful about what I do.Because it effects my kid's and grandchildren. I know she means well. But they make it sound like I'm doing something wrong or perverted.

Maybe this is where with time they will come to see a happier you. I feel the "wrong and perverted" thing is a common thread that comes from those who don't understand. Their thought is it is something for a sexual thrill, when in fact, it is something deep rooted inside of us. I am trying to keep it in mind with my own coming out process, that maybe in time they will come to see how much happier you are because you are able to be a more authentic version of yourself.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
