Hello all, I am new here, I am going by Nat right now as I have not settled on my new name yet but have decided it will be Natalia or Natasha. Nat seems to suit me , I believe my pronouns are she/her, it feels the most correct in my head. I was assigned male at birth and it has been torture froma a very young age. My girlfriend of 10 years knew from the beginning about my feminine side and my crossdressing, she has always been accepting and loving about it. I recently came to the conclusion that I can't live male anymore. I had a very loving and sincere conversation with my girlfriend and she is as always loving and supporting. She did lovingly recommend that I get some mental help before beginning transition as I have struggled with both anxiety and depression alot lately, I have started therapy for the first time in my life and honestly between that and my new future I have to look forward to I am so happy for the first time in a long time! My dear girlfriend also recommended I find a support group but since there don't seem to be any in Trenton,SC or nearby, to the internet I turned and found transpules. I am looking for support and some friends outside of my gf I have very little support or friends for that matter.  I am so excited and have even had trouble sleeping lately because I am so anxious to begin hormones, it feels like a dream and keep finding myself worried I will suddenly wake up. I look forward to getting to know this place!

Welcome to TransPulseForums Nat,

 

 I agree with your girlfriend about you seeing a gender therapist, as you transition.  I hope you find as much helpful information here as I do, and there are some threads that are also entertaining. 
 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

Welcome Nat! Glad you're here. Happy for you, especially that your girlfriend is so supportive. The beginning to accept & explore my femme brought a lot of emotions, being anxious and excited were definitely two of them. I hope you find the wonderful support, advice & acceptance here as I have.

 

Hugs!

Wow, my story is so similar! I can totally relate! I am new here as well. So similar, although I am married and my wife is not really on board. When I started hormones everything changed.  It was like my brain had wires all crossed up and they were unplugged and put back the right way! All the anxiaty, brain babble and static just seemed to slowly dissapate n fade away and I felt like me. I was comfortable in my own skin for the first time. Wishing you all the best going forward. I am looking for friendship and support and just people who get me, accept me, and dont judge me! Lots of love Marka

Welcome @Natnewgirl. It’s a pleasure to meet you and I’m glad you found us. You are among friends and supporters here. The same conclusion as you shared above has come to so many here, including yours truly. I fought it for a lifetime and finally realized it was futile to live as others thought I should just to make them happy.

 

I’m glad that you have your girlfriend as a close supporter and ally. That is such a bonus and will help you in times of need. As mentioned, counseling can really help too…especially if you’re honest with your therapist, do all the work and apply what you’ve learned to your life. It helped me work through many issues and ultimately I learned much about myself. During this early part of a journey, it can keep you in the right mindset, help you work through difficulties and open up new perspectives on so many things. It’s nice to see that you’re working toward living authentically. I wish you the very best on your continuing journey and I hope to read more about it as time moves forward.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R🌷

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.

      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!
