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

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).
