Hello,

 

I've been on a bit of a self discovery journey over the last few years. Mostly trying to come to terms with who I am. I think I'm slowly getting there. I've wanted to wear women's clothes since I was young, but with everyone around me telling me that it's wrong, weather directly or indirectly, it's been hard to come to terms with. I'm also learning that although this is a big part of who I am, it's just one of many parts. Even so, I've found it to be very isolating and that's why I am here to learn more and make friends.

 

I hope to talk to more of you soon. Thank you.

Welcome to TransPulseForums Kira,

 

Take the time to look around, jump in on some treads, and friendly supportive people will respond.

I hope you find this site as helpful as I do... It's not therapy, but it's close.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Kira.  The slow and steady approach is often the best, when it comes to figuring all of this out, or, as you all are fond of saying, "sorting it."  😋  It is also not uncommon for others to discourage cross dressing or experimenting, but I suppose they just want to keep you safe.

 

Please ask whatever questions come to mind, and have a look at the many threads and posts that probably already contain the answers you're looking for.  We'll be happy to help.

 

HUGS

Welcome, kira_k!

 

I too found my questioning years to be terribly self-isolating. I could go as far as to say that most of my life was self-isolating. This Forum has certainly helped to alleviate that feeling of self-isolation. Stick around! I think you'll find the Forum to be a warm and magical place.

 

Cheers!

Hello Kira,

I'm new as well and wanted to say hello. In my early days, I found the best way to find to self acceptance was by reading books on the subject. Knowing that millions of others felt the same way I did helped me a great deal. Peggy Rudd has some great books on the subject and one that helped me a lot was "Crossdressing with Dignity". My sister gave it to me after I came out to her and it's definitely worth reading as well as her other books. Take care and be well.

Hi Jessica,

 

It's very nice of you to do so. I will definitely have a look at that book. Thank you for the recommendation. 

 

You take care too

Welcome kira_k I was stationed in RAF Mildenhall England March 2004-March 2007. It's pretty there. I was there for three years. I enjoyed every moment. I started off crossdressing at an early age. My current wife gave me the confidence to come out as trans and unfortunately losing her but tired of living a secret. Hugs

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
