I’m a senior and was concerned about starting HRT and found Jackie Rabbit on YouTube. She has been so helpful.  She can’t say enough good things about Transgenderpulse. So here I am, Vini

Welcome Vini!   Glad you found us here.  This site has certainly helped me over the years.  There seem to be few spots where folks can be honest, safe and accepted as exists here.

 

Hugs,

Thank you everyone for the welcomes. I really appreciate it after going it alone for a couple years.  I was told the obvious that I didn’t have any support network, but what is a secret girl to do ?  It’s almost a relief when strangers call you “Ma’am”.  I hope all the other new Girls remember they’re  not alone and like Jackie says, you don’t have to apologize and you don’t owe anyone an explanation. Best, Vini

Hi VickySGV and the Moderators, I live in the Tacoma,WA area and I was wondering if there is a forum or section for meeting Trans in your area for coffee. Or is there a way to find people in your area that would like to chat on line ?  Thanks so much, Vini

We're not really that kind of site. However, there's nothing wrong with PMing a member (who isn't a minor) about plans out in the real world if the two of you are friendly and would like to have a coffee or something. Stranger things have happened.

 

Hugs!

Hi VickySGV and the Moderators

Hi Vini , Nice to have you onboard. HRT is a serious step and Jackie Rabbit has very good knowledge and is a great source for advice for that kind of help. You lucked out there. We also have many young adults that are at or near the same stage of as yourself here. I’m sure you’ll get additional support on our forum or Discord Chat server to answer other questions that may arise over time.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

Hi @Vini! nice to meet you and Welcome!
This is a great Community to be part of and like you it was the ONLY outlet for me to connect with others at the very beginning.  Love @jae bear too!  Jackie ROCKS!
Starting gender therapy was another milestone for me so I know you will find that a benefit.  I've heard some great things about VA care for Trans members. and we do have Members on the Forum here that use VA so hopefully you will get some great feedback from them.

Its seems you've taken many positive steps forward .. Congratulations❣️

Deep breaths ... one step at a time

Thank you ! Jackie C. Susan R. KayC and Jandi for the responses, welcomes and information.  Online friends are good.  I was kind of accused of not having any friends or support network.  A Secret Girl has to start somewhere?

HS or College?

Either way, you're very welcome on this site. I ask because I know a couple of college seniors who I think participate in TransPulse. I could pass your name/link to them, if you want. I'll virtually be seeing them later this pm, I hope. I'll check back after I finish hassling with some furniture moving. Yuck.

 

~~Big ol' welcoming hug and a squeeze, from Lee~~

I'm sorry Lee, I should have been more specific, I'm a 68yo Senior.  But thanks for thinking of me.  I hope the furniture moving went well.  I'm thinking of using my comealong and a cargo net when I move the clawfoot bathtub down from the upstairs bathroom when I remodel.  Vini

Oooooh! Fun.

We had to move a piano into my daughter's 2nd floor apartment (and out later when she moved).  It was a challenge, and kinda fun to figure out.  Laid plywood on the stairs, and used tackle to pull it up.   Getting it down was more a case of not getting killed.  But her boyfriend was in charge of that one.  When you get older, sometimes you just have to stay out of the way and let the young'uns handle things themselves.

Wow, it's good to see everyone : )    Saturday I went to a car dealership to look at a Prius that I told a salesman I would like to take to a mechanic for inspection on Tuesday after the holiday.  I got off my Kawasaki Vulcan, took my helmet off and put my long hair back in a ponytail.  Then the three salesmen standing there turned around and went back inside.  I forgot about my new pierced earings.   I finally found my salesman, test drove, and offered to put a deposit on the car but he wouldn't hold the car for me incase other callers came in during the weekend, unless I paid for the car then.  I said thank you and rode to the Drive In for a hamburger.  Happy Holiday and Thank you to all my fellow Veterans, Vini

They tried to do this to my daughter.  She just went to another more accommodating dealer.  Got a better car anyway.

Yes Jandi, thats my way of looking at it, Thank goodness Toyota made a lot of Prii that are lasting a lot of Miles.  Thank you, Vini

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.
