Heya, I'm Nate, an ftm. I won't bore you with too many details - my story is pretty normal. I grew up knowing I wasn't quite right, finally realized just what was wrong with me around puberty, suffered in the closet for a few years, then came out last summer. Contrary to my fears, my family has been incredibly accepting and supportive, and I've been on the road to transition since.

I'm part of an LGBT group in my home town, but unfortunately I don't many transpeople, so I was pretty exited when I found Laura's Playground. I'm thrilled to be here and I've already picked up so many useful tips on passinga nd more from people's posts here.

Anyway, I'll be hanging around here and posting from time-to-time in the future. Rigth now, I just have one question:

I don't seem to be able to view profiels, neither my own nor other users'. Is this normal for new users, like a probation thing, or have I got the settings wrong somewhere?

Thanks,

Nate

Hi Nate,

Welcome to the forums, come on in and sit down here in this nice, comfy chair.

I have some pizza here if oyu are hungry and most of our FTMs are. :D

Besides the smell of hot pizza brings everyone running to the members lounge - to meet the new member but you might want to take two pieces of pizza they will eat while they are here.

Feel free yo ask questions and wonder around, we are non-judgemental and very freindly.

You might try viewing profiles again - you couldn't until your membership was approved.

You can not use the PM system until you have 5 posts.

Love ya,

Sally

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME

I think profiles may also need 5 postings - I am not sure - been so long... But 5 or more postings give you full membership. So post post post!

I am glad you found us! A lot of FTM here. I have a GLBT group in New Orleans and it has seven FTM - and three of us MTF - interesting!

So let us know more about you and look around some more. You seem familiar enough on how we work.

Glad to know you!

      Trump Vows to Roll Back Title IX Protections for Trans Youth "On Day One"

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      masculine women

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      How's it going fellas

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      ... and misogyny.

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      MaeBe's Trail of Discovery

      By MaeBe · Posted

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Constant estrogen deficiency problem - please, help me, I'm helpless

      By JenniferB · Posted

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      By JenniferB · Posted

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      A Reintroduction

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.

      By JenniferB · Posted

      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer
