Recommended Posts

I'm Elijah, I'm a trans male youth looking for community outside of mainstream social media. As much as I love connecting to trans people via social media such as Instagram, YT, or just reddit, I think at this point I'd prefer a less mainstream platform to connect with people on. I think forums like this one provide a great opportunity for that, and are likely hosting less hate than I know mainstream social media does. Getting away from politics and transphobia would be nice to do every once in a while, and I'm hoping I can find conversation here that achieves that.

 

Although I'm looking for connection to people within my community, I'm aiming to stay mainly anonymous and using a false name to do so. Being public with my identity online is not only dangerous and ill-advised in most cases, but I'm personally uncomfortable with it. I hope I'll be able to have genuine conversations with y'all, still, and I hope I'll still be able to find advice regarding my situation at the moment as well. I bring this up because I imagine in future posts it might seem as though I'm leaving out bits of necessary information for the topic at hand, but I'm likely just trying to stay anonymous.

 

I'm not sure how most people do their introductions, but I'll just provide the basics and then talk about myself some. (TL;DR at the bottom, I'm aware I write a lot, my apologies)

 

My name's Elijah, I'm a 16-year-old Californian. I use he/him pronouns and am a binary transsexual male. I'm in a lot of trans spaces full of mainly people my age and an awful lot younger still, so I hope I'll get some perspectives from older trans people here, too. I'm fond of many types of music and art, and usually sum it up with "I just enjoy making things." As far as music goes, though, I'm a massive fan of Will Wood. He's by far my favorite artist in music, and definitely up there in visual art as well. Trans activism and political activism are important to me, which is another reason I hope to connect more with those in my community- building strength in community is an important part of fighting oppression, and giving one another hope for the future is an important part of community. I generally enjoy connecting with people, but I find my mental health can get in the way of it. I identify as aromantic and asexual at the moment, and have for quite a while, but testosterone very well could change that. I spend a lot of my free time watching political and philosophical video essays, or shorter form commentary content on YouTube about similar topics. If I have the motivation to do so, I spend my time practicing vocals and piano and completing various creative projects of mine, but otherwise will just watch videos and video essays on their own or while doing other things. I don't spend much time on video games but I occasionally get more interested in them for periods of time, it largely depends on where my energy is focused at the moment. Possibly irrelevant to y'all, but very relevant to my own life, I have ADHD. Usually, that's why I'm often focused on one thing in particular with many others simply in my peripherals. If my writing appears to jump topics a bit, that may explain why as well.

 

TL;DR- Elijah, 16yro transsexual male, aromantic & asexual, enjoys being generally creative, is invested in political activism (especially for trans rights), has ADHD, is a big Will Wood fan, sings & plays piano.

 

Thanks so much for having me as a part of your community, y'all! Can't wait to connect more and I hope I'll become a regular here. Currently in the discord, and if can I figure out how then I'll have my name there as NoElijah, as well. I hope y'all have a wonderful day/night! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Welcome @NoEli6! It’s a pleasure to meet you. It’s nice to have the younger generation represented within our ranks. It’s also nice to have someone who believes transactivism and political activism is important…especially in today’s recent political climate.

 

If you’ve been looking around our forum you’ve probably noticed we are a very supportive non-judgemental group that strives to help others in our community any way we can. So if you have any questions, need information or would like someone to talk to about a specific issue or advice, you’ll feel right at home here.

 

I enjoyed reading your well written detailed introduction. You seem like a very smart well rounded individual. There are others here that are close to your age with similar interests so I hope you meet a few along the way. Enjoy the forum.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R🌷

Good morning @NoEli6aka Elijah

Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I'm glad you're here, and open to a well rounded mix of people, from all walks of life, and experience. Unlike you, I was late to the transgender community.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,

Welcome, Elijah! That was a beautiful Intro you left for us. I'll not try to compete with it –– other than to say Welcome! I'm glad you found TP. Pull up a chair. Make yourself at home! ––Rianon

Welcome @NoEli6! I'm Rowan! I'm also a trans male but I'm a year older than you! I just joined the other day so I don't have a lot of insight on this forum completely, but so far everyone has welcomed me with open arms and has already been so kind! I hope you make tons of friends on here and find all the support you need!

Welcome, Elijah! I'm a trans man, in my late 60s. I came  out only a year ago. I've been here a short time, and I find it's a wonderfully affirming space.

Hi & welcome @NoEli6 . I'm 31 years older than you, but I see we have a lot in common. I'm nonbinary/transmasc, ace, creative & artistic, a vocalist, spend free time listening to philosophical/spiritual lectures & many years ago was diagnosed with overfocused ADHD. And you've come to just the right place to connect with folks if you seek more intimate, emotionally supportive social media for trans folks. Look forward to seeing you around here.

Hey there Elijah welcome to the forums!  You will find a lot of fantastic support here and it's a great place to connect with people and get your questions answered.  I've been here a few months and feel so welcome here!

 

I'm a few years older than you (I'm 19) and you will find a few others are around our age around here, and there is a "Teens" forum too that is just for us so definitely post there too!

 

Really nice to see you join and hope you can really connect with the amazing people here.

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
