Thank you. Since I am very new here I was trying to figure out how to go about all of this.
      Well I am 56 years old MTF I live in Michigan. I am a pilot so not the best job to transition in. I have known my whole life that I was different so like most I did what I had to to survive. I found that if I left the mask on with the gender I was born in versus the gender that I really a.m. is the only way to get by. It has taken me a long time to start to push in the direction of being who I truly am it is hard to Take the mask off that you have worn for so long. So here I am trying to start talking with people like myself gaining some knowledge slowly moving forward.

Transitioning. It's harder for some of us than others. My armor fell off pretty quickly, but I didn't have anything to lose. Well, my spouse and I REALLY should have had a plan B before I came out, but everything's mostly settled down now. There are issues, but we're working on them.

 

I do feel like I would have really benefitted from an understanding therapist and maybe not internalizing all the homophobia from the 80's. Not much I can do about that now though. I've found transition to be pretty painless and people here have been accepting, but I'm almost in Detroit and sandwiched between Ferndale and Ann Arbor which are both big LGBTQ+ communities.

 

On the other hand, the couple of times I've been up around Claire to visit my father-in-law... who doesn't know I've transitioned. I mean I present female, use my girl-voice, carry my purse, I have freaking breasts, etc... we just didn't tell him... anyway, the couple of times I've been up there nobody said anything and treated me like a proper woman so who knows?

 

Again, lovely to meet you and welcome to TransPulse!

 

Hugs!

Thank you. It is very nice to meet you too. I live in a very small town so it will be an interesting journey. A Couple people know my situation. I am trying to slowly transition as to keep my job to pay for the few debts that I have left and trying to set up a business that I could transition into. I am going to get back with the therapist that I had a couple of years ago and was approved for HRT I was on that for a short time and everything in my life took a crap so I had to step back and reevaluate make some changes and now I am on Track to get back on HRT I have a new Endocrinologist that I have talked to about getting back on HRT but Covid hit and I haven’t pushed yet but I am going to I need to do it soon I have to be moving forward. Backwards stinks

Hello @Tasha Marie it’s a pleasure to meet you.  You’ve come to a very good place to share learn and find others like yourself. I started my transition at this same age. We have that in common plus I’m sure a whole lot of other similar life stories. It’s nice to have you on board here and hope that you will continue to share your journey as it unfolds. It’s a very exciting time in your life and you will be creating some very fond memories that you’ll look back upon for the rest of your life especially the milestones. I wish you the best on your continuing journey and hope to see you around.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

It is exciting and very scary too. I just wish I would have been true to myself so many years ago. I knew who I was. Just scared to live. I had no support system then. I had many gay friends but that’s the point they were gay and I’m trans. I do hate these titles so much. I am a women inside so even though we were very close and they didn’t get me, I was an outsider in the gay community funny how that works isn’t it at least my experience we are all in little groups segregated why can’t we all just be who we are. So. I’m slowly taking the mask down letting my true self hopefully shine through this is going to be a very long long process but it is a process that needs to happen. I thank all of you who listen.

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
