Introduction time, my name is Kacey Lee, new to forums and only sort of new to transitioning, I’ve been on injections only about 18 months but been off of them for a few months due to other issues not related to trans.

I am from Southern California, 60 something and have always felt not exactly right about my maleness, I think I may be intersex but don’t want to go there, just want to move forward with how I feel. I just changed health care so when I see my new doctor, I will continue my transition. Right now, I have an appointment next month for estrogen pellets with an out of network doctor, I just want to see how I do on that, the injections are ok and have worked for me, but I guess you can call me a bit lazy with the whole needle thing.

I have a lot to learn, the makeup thing really throws me for a loop, joining a forums I can learn so much and meet new friends.

Hi, Kacey Lee.  Welcome.  It's nice to have you here.

 

I am 66, and have been transitioning for four years.  There are lots of us"more mature" trans ladies here.  Ask questions; tell us how you feel; we'll listen and help when we can.

 

Regards,

Kathy

Well, we all have to start somewhere I guess. The journey can be a fun one, though with covid, it makes all things a little more difficult. The lack of social ‘anything’ is really a downer but hopefully that will lighten up sometime this year. Some of my fondest memories were during my first two years of transition. Enjoy these experiences as much as you can because it flashes by so fast.

It’s ‘makeup’ for you, it’s ‘putting together a nice outfit’ for others...we all have areas of our transition where we need to work extra hard. Think of it as a challenge, do the research, put the time in and you’ll soon be giving out tips, advice and secrets to others. Transition is so much more than just changing one’s gender. There are so many things to adopt into your new life—new skills/hobbies, new roles, new presentation, new ways of relating to others, and the list goes on. I hope you find what combination works best for you so you become the person you’ve always wanted to be.

 

As far as meeting new people and learning new things, you’ve come to the right spot. That’s just part of what we’re all doing here for each other. Thank you for joining us in that pursuit.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

Hi @Kacey Lee!  nice to meet you and Welcome!  I'm a KayC also, but just go by Kay?

 

I think you are going to really love this Forum and all the great Members here.  Feel free to share, learn, and enjoy the community.
I am not as far along as you, but I agree with the makeup "thing".  After my attempts at eye makeup it looks like I have been in a bar fight ?

 

Hope to hear more from you❣️  Deep breaths ... one step at a time

      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!

      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.
