LOI am a 60 year old male that  Has struggled all of my life about my about my identity and who I truly am inside. It played the male role over the years served in the Marine Corps even was married a few times and had kids. Never could understand why my relationships and marriages with women never worked out until I recently discovered Is who I truly am inside. Is my whole heart and soul This is female and I have such a desire like never before to make that transition and become the woman that I have always Did to be.

Loren, most of us have shared all of part of your story, and have had the same desires, hopes and dreams.  It is certainly possible to achieve that which you desire.  I started my journey at age 54, and very many here have started later.  I've lived full time as Carolyn for 10 years.  I'm happy, and I hope that you, too, will be happy as the woman you wish to be, if that is what you want.

 

HUGS

Welcome Loren! It is nice to meet you, and I am confident you will find the community here warm and supportive. What you write above about relationships not working out has been a lifelong challenge for me as well. It took me many years to untangle my gender identity and sexual orientation, and I always wondered whether my attraction to women was lust, or was it actually envy? In the midst of the pandemic lockdowns last year, I embraced my true self and moved forward with living an authentic life. I hope you will find happiness too on your path. and I am looking forward to seeing you around on the forums!

 

Love,

~Audrey.

Thank you for that. You nailed it... last or envy. Yes I know that for me I thought it was lust sexually, but it was envy, or even lust in my heart to be them..

One of the great things i found at 63 when i transitioned is that i not only became and felt new but i was somehow perceived and felt younger.  Hopefully your journey will be as fulfilling, if at times difficult, as mine,  I found great help here. 
Enjoy!

 

Hugs,

Hi Loren, pleased to meet you. :) Once you open that door and realise what you have been hiding/avoiding it is amazing how much sense the rest of our lives can suddenly make!

When I understood that I wasn't wanting to be with the women, but be the women, a lot of things began to make sense.

Reading this one sentence made me see why I always admire beautiful women. It is my feminine side that wants to be like them. I have never understood this until now!

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
