I’m Ivy, I’m a 31 year old trans woman and I live in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve been queer and gender diverse for most of my life, I changed my preferred name when I turned 18, and started wearing mixed gender clothing but it wasn’t until the last 3 years that I started to live my life openly as a woman. I was initially scared to start hormone replacement, there’s a lot of trauma in my past related to medical issues but I’ve never made another decision that gave me nearly as much joy. I started smiling, laughing and crying (all things I hadn’t done since I was a teenager) I got my life together and started helping others. Now I work as a direct support professional and take care of people with special needs and requirements and I stay with those people all day at work and make sure they feel safe and can get the most out of their life!

 

 

I’m currently trying to get on a list for sex re-assignment surgery

Welcome @DeerGirlaka Ivy,

 I hope you find TransgenderPulseForums as beneficial and useful as I do. It’s not therapy, but it’s close. Look around feel free to join any of the conversation threads and share with us your thoughts. If you don’t see a subject or have other questions feel free to start a thread of your own. There are also Blog areas if you want to start one yourself. Remember that we are a family friendly community and want to keep it safe for the young people here too. 
 

Best wishes, stay positive and motivated

      That is one of the joys I love about living alone. ☺️

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ...

      Hey @KayC I need another tutorial session on this place with you.  Maybe we can talk on Discord or the phone and I can share my screen and do a few messages while Asking you some questions about how this place is organized. How are you doing in the real world?? ... "real world" ???  What is this "real world" of which you speak?
    • Michelle_S
      @VickySGV Ha!  Finally figured THAT out!  Though I hate to confess just how long it took me to figure out WHERE to begin typing that "@" sign.  (So I just won't confess it!  ... giggles) I am not sure how private this message to you is ... for example I was going to make a guess about your location (you say near a major earthquake fault) and while there are many places in CA which fit that description, I live near one as well. But I am not sure if being asked that in a public forum is something you want, and I don't know if I am talking publicly or privately right now.  (So, obviously, till I learn what is what, I treat EVERYTHING as public). I think Kay might have already told me about the "@" sign but I forgot ... Guess I have blonde roots ... (I'm actually a Brunette ... Grey but the box keeps me a brunette ... still the number of mistakes I make and how slow I am with learning things constantly reminds me that I must be blonde on the inside!!  ... giggles)

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow
