Hello everyone I'm Christy

Recommended Posts

I'll be 42 this year and have been trans my whole life.

I grew up in a single mother home the youngest of 4 and the only boy.
I suppose my journey started with my sister's playing dress up with me at an early age there are even old pictures of medressed up in a pretty little dress with pig tails and bows in my hair.

Being around all females all the time I developed a deep appreciation for the female body.

I was home schooled because when i we to puvlic school briefly I got picked on beat up and bullied by both boys and girls, because of my feminine appearance and choice of wardrobe.

My mother bought me boys clothes, but I hated wearing them, it felt like being in someone else's skin, and I cried for two week because they cut my hair like a boy.

Even then I did not see my as a boy.

Besides my girl clothes were way prettier and just felt natural to me.

 

my mother and sisters were so supportive of me and her and my sisters and I would have a lot of fun shopping and picking out clothes for each other and shared a lot of clothes. Being the youngest I got tons of hand me down clothes.

College life was a lot easier for me people were a lot more receptive to the most part but since my high school drama I kept to myself for a long time but eventually made some real good friends that accepted me and were very supportive.

Eventually with encouragement from my friends I started being me more and more in public and around campus and became more and more accepted and became quite popular around campus.


All the girls were supportive and enjoyed helping me with my hair, makeup and clothing


Both girls and guys were taking notice of me and college is where I lost my virginity LOL twice.


I dated both guys and girls off and on.
Even though I prefer physically being a female I prefer to stay bisexual I can have the best of both worlds.


I eventually married my best friend and the most supportive person in my life.
She was always there for me through thick and thin and encouraged to be who I was.
We had the most amazingly beautiful wedding.
Both dressed in matching wedding dresses and our closest friends were our maids of honor.
Since I didn't have a father to walk me down the isle.

Sheri's (my wife) father walked us both down the at the same time arm and arm it was so beautiful not a dry eye in the church including me.
Yes I said she, a bisexual beautiful woman and the sove of my life and best friend.

 

 Over the years I've undergone a few different procedures, nose and facial work, breast implants, hormone treatments, electrolysis, thank God hairy people don't run in the family LOL

I never had gender reassignment done or really plan to.

 

However I an pretty vain about my appearance and honestly these days most people don't know I started out life as a male, unless I tell them.

When my wife and I are out most people assume we are a lesbian couple which is okay with us.

Attached is a recent pictures of me taken around Christmas.

Welcome to you Rootgrowth

Tell mom I said hi Hopefully she is as supportive to you as my mother has been.

I chose y instead of ie because I felt ie was just too cliche especially for a trans.

 

My birth name was Christopher, my mom and sisters call me crissy I went somewhere in the middle with Christy

My legal first and middle name is Christine Yvonne

Yvon ne come from one of my favorite actress the Beautiful Yvonne DeCarlo

 (Lilly Munster) among many other things,was gorgeous especially in her younger days and I thought the name Yvonne sounded sexy exotic, and mysterious.

Yes I spent a lottttt of time choosing my name.

 

Lesson 1

Takes your time and choose a name that means something near and dear to your heart.

My middle name is Christopher after my granddad. Amazing guy. Funny coincidences

 

I find it really interesting that you seem to have had a somewhat easy time as a young girl, Correct me if i'm wrong but i believe you mentioned that you weren't bullied horribly and no one really seemed to notice or care that you were trans, including your family.

 

I'm 20, I'm assuming you're an older lady based on your pop culture references and pics. A lot of people are under the impression that being trans in the past was pretty damning for everyone, and dangerous.. So would you mind elaborating a little on your social experiences? 

 

Also I gotta say you have all the glamour of an Yvonne

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      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.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
