Hello from Idaho! (Yes, we grow potatoes)


Jet McCartney

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. 

My name is Jet. I'm 20FtM from Idaho.

I'm honestly just testing this out, making sure I'm doing it right. I've been frequenting this site a lot but finally decided to make an account.

(If I can be honest I've been really happy at finding all the older trans folks here, and me, being young, I feel like I can gain a lot of wisdom from people who've come before me.)

.

I never frequent trans spaces in real life because I've never really felt connected to the community. I want to be stealth, and I act like I am cis in real life even though I'm pretty sure everyone can tell I'm trans.

.

Anyways, feel free to say hello! I'm excited to be here. :)

Well, @Jet McCartney, we're excited to have you here!  I'm one of those older gals you mentioned.  I transitioned 12 years ago, and I've been doing this moderating stuff for almost that long.  So whatever questions you have, we can probably answer them.  We do have quite a few active FtM's or trans masculine guys here, too.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you contribute to the site.

Hi @Jet McCartney! I'm new as well. I'm only five months into HRT. You look great btw. I would say that you look passable as a cis man according to the picture that you chose. I don't consider myself old but a lot of people your age would consider me that way. I'm 39 so I'm glad you decided to create an account. Honestly I didn't know I could just be a guest. I just created one. I realized that about a month in when I was seeing guest posts. Looking forward to seeing your posts.

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.

      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
