Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that. Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends. It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being. I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time -

It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus. McAfee is really tough to get rid of. I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed. Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time. As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions. Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use. As in...click the button! -

Hi Thea, I can relate to that, to this day I find video games that has female role characters in them, the ones that takes leadership. -

Divorce sux. My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away. I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years. My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time. I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely? I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal. I told my husband and other partners the same thing. Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it. I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes. I'm pretty sure I'm safe here. -

Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next. *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe. -

Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome. Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake. I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S. I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile. Moderators? Any ideas? I met with my therapist today. She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support. I'll be checking in from time to time :) -

It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible... Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine... I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol... I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like. So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time. -

No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2. Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression. 4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger. That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance. -

Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course. Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.
