Punk cowboy new to this site

Happy pride month! I'm new to this site so I'm throwin' my hat in the ring here! I'm Kevin. From southeast Texas, US, but I'm hoping to move to California soon. Despite all its faults with LGBTQA+ troubles, it's hard to hate some of the good things about my home state haha. Some of my favorite things will always be the texmex food and the weird Texas-shaped cheeses. (I'm a lover of food if you can't tell) :o]

I'd been guessing who I was since I was thirteen, and by my twenties finally accepted myself after a grueling teenagehood of attempting to be as feminine as possible. It didn't work, and I had a perpetual constipated-face full of makeup, but y'know, hindsight is 20-20 and all that. Added ba-dum-tsss sound here: I was 20 in 2020.

That year was one of the worst and best years of my life, from the pandemic, to coming out, to meeting my partner. Life never gets easier, but in some ways it's better: I'm a happily taken man who looks and feels like myself years later. I've dealt with allergic-reactions to HRT injections, had ups and downs medically, gone through top surgery; am about to receive a hysto very soon before any new laws are put into place this year (good ol Texas). Finally feeling comfortable in my own skin. It took a lot of work, medically, mentally, socially, legally, to get where I am now, and I'm real grateful for it.

As for what I'm into, I'm a digital artist, I like playing video games (specifically casual stuff like Sims), cartoons, punk and metal music, and I've dabbled a bit into front-end web development (a fancy way of saying making goofy lil websites). Tattoos and body mods are a huge love of mine too! I tattoo myself for fun on occasion. Lastly I got a fascination with McDonalds. 🍔 Can't explain that one.

That's pretty much it for me. Thanks for readin'!

Hi Kevin,

 

What Sims game is your favorite? Do you prefer the newer ones or the older ones? Nothing wrong with McDonalds I love the McRib! I completely understand about Texas it's how it is in Mississippi too. Once my boys are grown up and out of the house my soon to be girlfriend will be moving to Raliegh, North Carolina or Durham. It won't be anytime soon but I like to prepare in advance. The only downside is that it's expensive there but they are friendly with LGBTQ people. I haven't had much trouble here but they have mountains and cooler weather. Apart of me is hopping that Mississippi will become very friendly. It's not too bad though because there are two bars that are friendly. I'm going to try one out this weekend.

Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Hamburglar.

 

I was a Cowboy most of my life, and always wanted to Cowgirl Up. I'm so happy for you and your partner that you have a plan for the future. The best thing this old gal can say to you is: Your future is not written, and you can be yourself, and do whatever you want to do.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated.

      Feels like I'm walking on eggshells, when I'm the nicest, kindest hearted person anyone would hang out with.

      Good morning    Work day today, no pool time, and no dress.  Just a uniform top and slacks.   Thank you for asking about my wife, @Ashley0616 , she is improving all the time and getting anxious to be rid of the med vac.  She keeps telling people a couple mor weeks be even with the speed at which she is recovering, I think that is more wishful than reality.   i received both compliments about my dress as well as my ability to speak before the congregation.  My little frog was right there with me but then he is a permanent resident in my voice.  Some days worse than others and I never know until I start speaking.  Maybe I need a frog exorcism.  Oh our church doesn’t do that.  Shucks.   well the humidity is coming back today along with possible rain and warmer weather.   I guess a lot of you are getting hit with smoke from Canada again this year. I recall last year you could see and smell it here.  It a shame to loose so many trees when we need them for climate control.  I was surprised to learn the South Carolina was the largest producer of wood in the states. We have a great deal of wet and swamp land that the plant and harvest and plant again.  While some makes it to the mills to become construction material, mose goes to one of several paper mills.  Those trees are clear cut and trucked to the mills to be cleaned mulched and processed along with recycled paper.the closest mill to here makes brown board which become packaging material like corrugated cardboard.   i guess we have rather ideal conditions for southern pine tree growing.  That along with cotton, rice indigo, tobacco and cash food crops fruits and vegitables and pecans, can’t forget the nuts.  You can take that more than one way and be right.   enjoy you day whether at work or at play.   Willow

      I wasn't really aware of an emotional roller coaster possiblity when I started.    A few days in I realized i had been living with some tension that I was able to ignore until it went away. One morning it was just 'why I do I feel better than usual'?   So I googled around and found that it was possible to have such a result, I was thinking it would just take time for physical effects to work on my emotions.   Some talk about finally being able to cry, I have always been an excellent crier, so on HRT I cry REALLY hard.   But laughing was never really that easy for me, and now I laugh out loud way more often. Love that part of the roller coaster.

      Satisfaction Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Well, for me, on day one is was like, wow, I feel more relaxed.  Then every day after that was more of the same.  YMMV.

      Groupings are easy for news material.  And in many nations, we live in a society that doesn't read in-depth.  There are always a few members of any group that can give it a bad name.  Pedophile priests undermined trust in the Catholic Church.  NAMBLA taints the reputation of LGBTQ+ folks....although since this thread is about Australia, I'm not sure it is very relevant.    Is it ignorance?  Perhaps.  But I think what is often labeled as ignorance is really just a different interpretation of the same facts, and different weight placed on portions of the evidence.  We also live in a time when satire and criticism aren't particularly acceptable or understood by all.   https://nypost.com/2023/06/24/drag-marchers-spark-outrage-with-chant-at-nyc-pride-event-were-here-were-queer-and-were-coming-for-your-children/   ^^^ This was meant sort of tongue-in-cheek, but wasn't helpful.    Like it or not, to many people this is "confirmation" of beliefs, not humor.  And in an era where language is changing and people often get confrontational and angry about minor aspects of language, it seems absurd to believe that there wouldn't be some sort of backlash over trying to label pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons."    While I don't agree with the idea that "LGBTQ = pedophile" I can understand how folks might think that was the case.
