Dani J

Recommended Posts

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

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.

      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post. 
    • Charlize
      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.

      I hope he gets what he deserves.

      Heck I didn't even know they could go up that high! I just have a four burner and one to keep stuff warm. What kind of pies did you make?

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.
