"I was an electrical outlet for Halloween a few years ago... It got a little out of hand..."

"I was attacked by a giant beaver vampire... Or was it a walrus?"

"I was attacked by sharks. Two of them. One on the left, one on the right. The sharks in that ocean had been having tooth decay problems, so I only got one scratch from each of them from their single remaining tooth."

"I had this thing with a friend where he was going to come up behind me and rip off my shirt dramatically, only the first time we tried it he couldn't tear my shirt, so he got some scissors, and, well, yeah, it didn't work out."

"*after drawing a smiley face underneath bellybutton, (so that the bellybutton is a nose)* What? You don't like his eyeliner? He thought it would make him look like Johnny Depp in Pirates."

I have a weird mind.

Possibly the best reasons I think I've heard offered up for an explanation, haha.

Have any of you guys ever really sat down and thought about core differences between male and female minds? Obviously everyone is different, but it seems like on average, there are these subtle difference. I was thinking about it cause I was talking to my friend about how girls are crazy, and they can't even blame it on their hormones cause I was lucky enough to have the same ones. And she said, "Yeah, but...you use your mind completely different."

She said that in a way it's "more simplistic." Like how if a girl says she 'doesn't wanna talk about it', a guy will tend to assume...okay. Doesn't wanna talk about it; but really the girl does wanna talk about it and wants someone to pull it out of her. Obviously that's not the case every time, but yeah. What do you guys think?

Obviously there's the stereotype that guys think about sex more...I'm mostly asexual myself, but lately I've been figuring that's just because of body dysphoria. Because if I ever start daydreaming/regular dreaming and I'm in the correct body...xD Let's just say it almost makes me glad I wasn't born 'correctly', cause I might be getting in some trouble. Almost being the key word, of course.

LOL! I totally said that exact same thing in another thread! Sometimes I'll just look at my guy friends in school and sit there and think "how do they do it? special 'restraining' order or something threatened by one of their friends?" :rolleyes:

simplistic seems like too harsh of a word :P i think a better word is "straightforward." see in my case, that even applies to trying to understand differences. i seem to feel like nothing makes sense if it isn't categorized, so i have to take every male and female behavior and try to figure out how it fits into these "mind differences." and if i can't figure it out it just doesn't make sense to me and is really frustrating! it's funny cuz this reminds me of a sketch on youtube where the guy talks about the differences between men and women and says men like to have everything packed tightly into little compartments and if the compartments aren't all completely separate from each other they'll go crazy.

      Change. I am so -censored- tired of change, and what I've just started in the last month with identifying and working through all of my . . . stuff . . . around gender dysphoria represents a level of change I dread and am terrified of.   2005 to 2019 feel like a pretty stable time period for me. Not a whole lot of change happened within me. I met someone, got married, had three kids with them. Struggled like hell with anxiety and depression but it was . . . ok. And then my spouse died (unexpectedly, brief bout with flu and then gone) and the five years since have been an unrelenting stream of change. I cannot think of a single way in which I, the person writing this from a library table in 2024, am in any way the same person who sat in an ICU room with my dying spouse 5 years ago. I move different, speak different, dress different, think different, have different goals, joys, and ambitions. And they are all **good.** but I am tired of the relentless pace of change and as much as I want and need to figure out my dysphoria and what will relieve the symptoms (am I "just" gender fluid, am I trans masc? no -censored- clue at the moment) I dread it at the same time. I just want to take a five year nap and be done with it.

      Welcome to the Forums Amanda, there are a number of us here who took that long or longer to come to grips with our personal reality.  Join right in and enjoy the company you have.

      I'm Amanda, and after 57 years of pretending to be a male crossdresser, I've recently admitted to myself that I'm a woman. It's pretty wild. I don't think that I've ever had a thought that was as clearly true and right, as when I first allowed myself to wonder, "wait, am I actually trans?"   The hilarious part is that I owe that insight to my urologist, and a minor problem with a pesky body part that genetic women don't come equipped with (no, not that one). I'll spare you the details, but the end result was him talking about a potential medication that has some side effects, notably a 1% chance of causing men to grow breasts. The first thought that bubbled up from the recesses of my mind was, "wow, that would be awesome!"   <<blink>><<blink>> Sorry, what was that again?   That led down a rabbit hole, and a long, honest conversation with myself, followed by a long, honest conversation with my wife. We both needed a couple of weeks, and a bit of crying and yelling, to settle in to this new reality. Her biggest issue? Several years ago, she asked me if I was trans, and I said, "no". That was a lie. And honestly, looking back over my life, a pretty stupid one.   I'm really early in the transition process - I have my first consultation with my doctor next week - but I'm already out to friends and family. I'm struggling with the "do everything now, now now!" demon, because I know that this is not a thing that just happens. It will be happening from now on, and trying to rush won't accomplish anything useful. Still, the struggle is real . I'm being happy with minor victories - my Alexa devices now say, "Good morning, Amanda", and I smile each and every time. My family and friends are being very supportive, after the initial shock wore off.   I'm going to need a lot of help though, which is another new thing for me. Being able to ask for help, that is. I'm looking forward to chatting with some of you who have been at this longer, and also those of you who are as new at this as I am. It's wild, and intoxicating, and terrifying... and I'm looking forward to every second of it.   Amanda Joy

      Rain here. I went to Asheville yesterday, and stayed later to visit some before going down the mountain.  Down here there were a lot of trees down in the northern part of the county.  The power had gone off at the house, but was back by the time I got home (21:00).  There was a thunderstorm during the night.

      I used to get ma'am'ed during my 45 years of boy-mode and it drove me nuts.    Now that I have accepted girl-mode I find it quite pleasant.    Either way, being miss gendered is quite disturbing. I upon a rare occasion might get sir'ed by strangers and it's quite annoying.

      Good morning Ash,    Welcome to TransPulseForums, I have a young neighbor who plays several brass instruments who lives behind my house. He is always practicing and I could listen to them for hours, well I guess I have listened to them for hours, and my favorite is when they play the low tones on the French Horn.    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,    I had my first cup of coffee this morning with my wife, my second was a 20oz travel mug on the way to the airport. Once clearing TSA, I bought another 20oz to pass the time at the boarding gate. I’m flying Indy to Baltimore, then driving to Wilmington, DE for my last teaching engagement at the DE State Fire School.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In my opinion, the gender neutral version of sir or ma'am is the omission of such honorifics.   "Excuse me, sir" becomes simply, "Excuse me", or better yet, "Excuse me, please."   "Yes, ma'am" becomes "Yes", or depending on the context, "Yes, it would be my pleasure" or "Yes, that is correct."   Else, to replace it with a commonly known neutral term such as friend, or credentialed or action-role-oriented term depending on the situation such as teacher, doctor, driver, or server.   And learn names when you can. It's a little known fact that MOST people are bad with names. So if you've ever told someone, "I'm bad with names", you're simply affirming you're typical in that way. A name, just like any other factoid, requires effort to commit to memory. And there are strategies which help.

      @KymmieL it’s as if our spouses are two sides of the same coin. We never know which side will land up. Loving or Disliking.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      almost 45 min later. Still in self pity mode. I cannot figure out my wife. I shared a loving post on Facebook to my wife. Today she posts, you are my prayer. Yet, last week she puts up a post diragitory towards trans people. Does she not relate to me being trans?   ???

      Hi Vivelacors!!  Like everyone else said, it is never too late to be you. It does feel too late at times but we can still enjoy our femininity every day, moment by moment!!                                                  💗 Cynthia
