Hello World!

Hi everyone! I'm Olivia. I've listed myself as questioning since although I know that I definitely don't identify with my birth-assigned gender (male) and right now feel like "she" and "her" are the pronouns that most accurately describe me, I feel further self-discovery and self-understanding is needed before I can be sure . Nevertheless, I feel myself tending in that direction as I begin express myself more and more. Anyway, I'm tired of repressing myself and I just wanted to say to somebody, "Here I am!" So, it's wonderful to be here and whatever happens, I truly am excited by the prospect of becoming who I am.

Welcome. I'm so glad you found us. There are some amazing people here who will give you honest, loving answers to any of your question. In regard to questioning - there is a great book you can great on Amazon for about $15 - that is a gender identity workbook that guides YOU to exploring and figuring out YOU. It's by Dara - Fox-Huffman and if I recall, it's called Gender Identity.

Hugs,

Heather

Welcome aboard, Olivia! :) 

 

I'm also relatively new here, and also questioning, not knowing where I'll end up. Self-discovery never stops! It, and self-understanding is a long road, but it seems like you have already reached self-acceptance, which is huge.

 

This is a wonderful forum full of wonderful people!

Welcome Olivia.  When i joined this site i found that i wasn't alone.  That certainly helped.  It was suggested that i see a therapist.  I did and even years later i appreciate the revelations that came with therapy.  

Enjoy your journey!

 

Hugs,

Welcome, Olivia! Discovering yourself is a journey that takes courage just to begin. You’ll find many people here just like you - many of us have found help thru gender therapists - who are in the process of exploration. Jump in, ask questions and participate where you feel comfortable.

      Rain here. I went to Asheville yesterday, and stayed later to visit some before going down the mountain.  Down here there were a lot of trees down in the northern part of the county.  The power had gone off at the house, but was back by the time I got home (21:00).  There was a thunderstorm during the night.

      I used to get ma'am'ed during my 45 years of boy-mode and it drove me nuts.    Now that I have accepted girl-mode I find it quite pleasant.    Either way, being miss gendered is quite disturbing. I upon a rare occasion might get sir'ed by strangers and it's quite annoying.

      Good morning Ash,    Welcome to TransPulseForums, I have a young neighbor who plays several brass instruments who lives behind my house. He is always practicing and I could listen to them for hours, well I guess I have listened to them for hours, and my favorite is when they play the low tones on the French Horn.    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone,    I had my first cup of coffee this morning with my wife, my second was a 20oz travel mug on the way to the airport. Once clearing TSA, I bought another 20oz to pass the time at the boarding gate. I’m flying Indy to Baltimore, then driving to Wilmington, DE for my last teaching engagement at the DE State Fire School.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      In my opinion, the gender neutral version of sir or ma'am is the omission of such honorifics.   "Excuse me, sir" becomes simply, "Excuse me", or better yet, "Excuse me, please."   "Yes, ma'am" becomes "Yes", or depending on the context, "Yes, it would be my pleasure" or "Yes, that is correct."   Else, to replace it with a commonly known neutral term such as friend, or credentialed or action-role-oriented term depending on the situation such as teacher, doctor, driver, or server.   And learn names when you can. It's a little known fact that MOST people are bad with names. So if you've ever told someone, "I'm bad with names", you're simply affirming you're typical in that way. A name, just like any other factoid, requires effort to commit to memory. And there are strategies which help.

      @KymmieL it’s as if our spouses are two sides of the same coin. We never know which side will land up. Loving or Disliking.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      almost 45 min later. Still in self pity mode. I cannot figure out my wife. I shared a loving post on Facebook to my wife. Today she posts, you are my prayer. Yet, last week she puts up a post diragitory towards trans people. Does she not relate to me being trans?   ???

      Hi Vivelacors!!  Like everyone else said, it is never too late to be you. It does feel too late at times but we can still enjoy our femininity every day, moment by moment!!                                                  💗 Cynthia

      Well we have the white rain, about 2 inches. Work is still terrible, with me making stupid little mistakes. Yet, to the boss it is the end of the world. Still on the hunt for another.   life just still sucks for me. I just wish I could be happy for a day. I'd even settle for a couple hours.   Kymmie
