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

      That Ten To One or So Ratio Guests : Members

      By MaryEllen · Posted

      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.

      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

      That Ten To One or So Ratio Guests : Members

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      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.

      Transgender Naturalist???

      By DawnD · Posted

      So from time to time my brain gets a hold of information and puts it together with other information in weird way that get me thinking. I was reading about a nudes cruise that they are running out if Miami. It got me thinking that a transgendered person who is also a naturalist, has to be one of the most unlucky people alive. How does one manage that and does that ever come up? Not trying to make fun here, just genuinely curious. Things that make you go hmmmm....

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      Parents Thought It Was a Phase

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      About Me

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

      What's going on in Oklahoma?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      Unfortunately Oklahoma is about as bad as Texas but definitely not as bad as Florida. Especially as a minor!

      My Doctor Don't Listen

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history.
