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

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,

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!

      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      What about it?
    • SydneyAngel
      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      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
