Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @Marieh as @VickySGV mentions, we’re all in various stages of transition. The best thing about this is if you have a question about something, there is someone else who has the same question and others who’ve been through it will answer to the best of their ability. 
 

Best wishes, stay positive and motivated

Oh OK, now I'm  stuck for something to say. Hi everyone. A little about myself. I finally accepted myself as transgender a few years ago after a lifetime of denial. A familiar story of course.

One of the best things about the forums I love, is that regardless of which side of transition you’re on MtF, FtM or nonbinary. People will support you and share their thoughts.

Interestingly this forum is identical to a hobbyist website I occasionally visit. If only they  knew.  Lol

There are so many of us in the same situation, and working to come out of the preverbal closet. My circle of family and friends who are learning about my transition is growing. One of my two sisters has disowned me and forbidden me from her home. My other siblings are very reluctant to be open and supportive. They support me in private but have conditions on what they want to see.

I have  four sisters. Two found out early but never mentioned it again. One my closest, I  came out to in recent years and she  complained I didn't trust her, so she's fully accepting. My wife worked it out. But doesn't want to know. I also know others who know but only allude to it. 

 

So yes complicated. None of it helpful to my mental health. Because everyone makes it about them. Even my wife acknowledges how hard it is for me while asking me to understand how tough it is for her.

 

So I suppress it for them all. I shouldn't but that's life.

Hi Marie,

 

Glad that you found us. What are some of your hobbies?

Hobbies? I spent the last few years  bringing up two boys. I was essentially a housewife. I loved it but lately my 17 year old told me that I should find time for myself. I  think I did a good job on him. Lol

      This is fantastic, We're adding a Boxer to our family sometime this evening or tomorrow. His name is Parker. We'll be crate training him as well as introducing him to two cats that have never been around a dog.   Pictures to follow later,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I still don't understand how any queer people can vote for these people.  I'll just leave it at that.

      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      Just more of the same.  Unfortunately, I'm coming to expect it.

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      Said it is possibly ptsd and anxiety,wants a second opinion.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

    • Adrianna Danielle
      I have been having issues from my past and going to get help for.It has been from my parents whom are deceased that forced me into being the person whom I really was not before I came out.Therspist I see for my transitioning said going to refer me a therapist that deals with ptsd and anxiety issues.

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉
