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, 
Jani (an elder!)

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!

      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.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?
