Introducing LV1Rose

Hello all (probably just the moderator reading this to approve it - how you doing, pal?),

 

I came here seeking trans elders, specifically sapphic trans elders, partially just to share in their spaces for a sense of community but also to turn to when being trans gets hard.

 

I like punk music, political books, and creative stuff.

Hello, Rose, and welcome to Trans Pulse!  I'm doing fine; thanks for asking.  :)  I suppose I qualify as a trans elder, but perhaps not sapphic.  I know lots more will come by to greet you, and in the meantime, please do have a look around and post anywhere you like with questions or comments.  We'll be here with replies.

 

HUGS

Hello Rose and welcome.  Well, being transgender can be hard at times so that is why this community exists, to offer support and friendship among like-minded souls.  There are many here with differing experiences that can answer any questions you may have.  Upon reading various posts you may find answers without having to ask.  Please do jump in and join the conversations.  

 

Cheers,

Welcome Rose.  @ 73 i guess i qualify as an elder trans person.  As to sapphic i'll have to ask my wife.  Transition has certainly had it's hard times but thanks in part to the folks here i'm happily living as myself.  

Enjoy your time here.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Welcome Rose! Glad you're here. Thank you for introducing me to a new word, sapphic (at least for me in understanding it's meaning, sort of). I don't know that I fit either of the qualifiers. The former, surely not & the jury's still out on the latter. Is it an exclusive thing luv, this being a sapphic woman? I hope you find the loving support, advice & acceptance here, as I have.

 

Hugs!

The Elder part fits better than I care to admit. (74) Saphho, was a female Greek poet who is famous or infamous for being attracted to other women for love relationships. She fits in with the stories of Lesbos and its female warriors who were pretty effective in battles. There are indeed Trans women who are attracted to women for love relationships, and there are just about every type of personal relations for Trans people  We do have to keep some of that from being too specific here due to our having members who are under 18 years of age, although I am by now sure that with Wonder Woman, the younger folks pretty much know the story.  We try to keep this place safe for all our members, no matter who they love.  I have been full time for 12 years and out for about 10 before then and have learned a little bit about how it is done, so ask away and after you get your 5 first posts, you can use our personal message system here.  If you have questions that you think may be over PG in nature, go ahead and run them to the staff members, we are happy to talk with all of you.

Hi Rose. sapphic? I love learning new words and expanding my vocabulary. I did have to google it but it appears I fit solidly in that definition.

sap·phic

/ˈsafik/
adjective
adjective: sapphic; adjective: Sapphic
1.
relating to lesbians or lesbianism.
"sapphic lovers"
2.
relating to Sappho, her poetry, or verse in a meter associated with her.
 
I am on the younger side, less than then 50 and have been out around 3 years and in transition a little over 2 so I'm not sure I fit the into the elder category but I'm happy to help however I can.

Welcome!  I'm working on the elder thing at 55 and have the Sapphos part.  I haven't ventured into the dating world yet as a trans-female. I'm kinda waiting to finish with my bottom surgery first. So, I have no idea how all that's gonna play out but I'm here for you if you want to talk about those issues and challenges.

Hugs

Welcome @LV1Rose, It’s nice to meet you. As others have suggested, many of us here are elderly sapphic transgender individuals. As I approach 60, I would be included in that group by most…except for my bisexual leanings more than purely sapphic.

This is a wonderful place for doing just that. We’ve all have trials and tribulations and this forum really does seem to help me when the ‘you know what’ hits the fan.

Hope to see you around!

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R🌷

Hello, Rose...it's wonderful to meet you! I'm 60 - but just beginning my own crazy path to womanhood - so not sure I can claim the title of elder...but happy to be your friend anyway!

 

Hugs!

Katie

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
