Hello hello.

My name is Michael and I'm pretty new to the TransPulse forums, hence the introduction here in case you haven't figured that out lol. I've been a part of the LGBT community for a handful of years now (5 or so), though only really broke out of my eggshell as transgender within the past year. Prior to that, I was in extreme denial and did everything in my power to try to convince myself I was a ciswoman (spoiler alert! it didn't work). However, after getting my act together come this past November, I've since embraced being who and what I really am, that being a man trapped inside a woman's body.

 

Outside of the community, I'm just your average white dude who obsesses over cameras and writing really. I have a strong passion for anything to do with cameras or video editing, as well as writing as a whole. I enjoy going out on adventures during the night time as well as spending time with close company. 

 

I hope to meet some new faces along the way here with my time on the forum, and am glad to be a part of such :)

@michael.yumm Welcome Michael - I'm glad you are here and you will find a very supportive community here. One that includes some of the best people on the planet as far as I'm concerned - friends, supporters, comforters, advisers - non-judgmental and full of wisdom.

Welcome Michael! It took me a long time to accept me as me too. It is a much better life today, with hopes of getting even better.

 

Hugs!

      Oh, another comment.   I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is.  I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do.   When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family.   People like me can struggle with trans issues.   Please consider that in posting.

      Sort of a Lousy Introduction

      By MaeBe · Posted

      I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point!

      I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it.  This is a wholly inadequate response.   1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.    6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.

      Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear?  The  novelty is long gone out on this.  I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing.  I missed it.    My body is saying "I am female!  Treat me that way!"   In the past it has screamed about this activity that  I have done to it.

      This is what I'm scared of.  And it's quite possible. Apparently Chicken Little was right.

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      I'm not happy to admit this, but I usually scream or break things.   Breaking things became a bit of a no no, because It was always a cd or something I liked and it got very expensive to replace stuff

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be?

      By atlantis63 · Posted

      Probably amusement parks. I've never been to one sadly, but I think I could talk for an hour about them without any problem
