Let me start by saying hello!

[Dani J]

My name is Dani J and I am a new member and this is my first post. I joined the forum back on July 27, 2020 after hearing about the site from Jackie Rabbit on YouTube. I have been seeing a therapist for a little over a year now and I am coming to terms with my authentic self. During my last session my therapist asked me if my wife was friends with any Transgender people and my reply was no. After the session I started thinking do I know any Transgender people and do I have any Transgender friends? Well my asked shocked me when I said no. It seems a little odd that I am on this journey and I am doing it alone. What I know about MTF transition has been based on what I have read and watched on the internet. So I am reaching out to make new friends who can share their experience strength and hope me to help me through this journey.

 

Thanks

Dani

C'mon in and join the mob for real.  We do not bite too often and try to be a way for new people to discover themselves.  Once you know who you are you can help us out, but we have all had to do it.  Your state does have some good Trans groups in it even though some parts of the state are pretty conservative. Dive on in the water is fine.

Welcome to our group.  I am also alone with my journey. I have gotten good advice from these forums and I hope you do also.

Hi @Dani J. Nice to meet you. I've never met (in person) another trans-person myself, just my friends here and on social media. It has it's pros and cons but I'm here now living life as my true self. In the end that's all that matters.

Welcome Dani.  I knew a trans man who was a dear friend of my wife and then was the godmother of our son in &$  before he transitioned in "76. Then he went totally stealth and we rarely saw him.   When i first went to gay bars as myself i met drag queens as well as some trans gals who were turning tricks in the parking lot.  I felt quite alone.  

I started going to the rooms of AA to deal with my addiction.  Over the years there i met a couple of trans folks.  And today one GLBTQ meeting i attend in person has more trans men and women than gay at this point.  Many of these people i would pass on the street without knowing but with the honesty in those rooms secrets fall away.

Do find some groups and will soon know you are not alone.

In the meantime we are here to help!

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

@Dani J like you I had no trans friends prior to TP. Now my life is filled with several from here and they are the best friends I've ever had in my life. And that's saying something coming from a 68 year old.

Thanks for posting.

Welcome to TransPulse @Dani J. I found a trans-person close to me through another site and we met. We became friends, but she died of cancer not long after. I have plenty of trans-friends, but they are now all online. You will find support here.

 

Hugs,

Mike
