Hello From Québec

Hi everyone!

I'm a 18 year-old MTF from Québec who has yet to begin her transition to her real self, but can't wait to do so. I'm in CÉGEP right now (which is in between high school and university, usually lasts 2 years).

I've kinda always known my body felt weird and wasn't very comfortable in my male body ever, but when I was a child I thought I would change when I would hit puberty and that when I was going to be hairy with a deep voice then everything would magically change and that it'd all be gone :rolleyes: Of course, these feelings didn't go away, and now, more than ever, I think myself as a female person. At first, I was into crossdressing and I thought myself as a crossdresser only and not as a TS, and didn't really hear about transition, so I just looked up at living as a crossdresser full time, because I wasn't happy looking and being a boy. Then when the androgyne phase, but it was still wrong and misconcepted by me, as I would've had a female side too strong to be androgyne. The more I searched on the Internet and went deep inside, looking for my true feelings, I realised that I was really female inside, so now I'm really looking towards transition.

Sorry if my description isn't that clear but that's the best I could come with right now. If you have any questions ask, don't be shy!

ps: sorry if I may make some English mistakes as my mother tongue is French.

Hello Alexxe!

Welcome to the forums!

Everyone here at the forums is very accepting(I probably just made a grammatical error), so just be yourself.

Hi Alexxe

Nice to meet you. I can relate to your experiences ;)

You found probably the best site to get the answers your looking for.

The people are friendly, the articles are informative, and the coco and cookies are delicious. :P

So find a comfy chair, kick you shoes off and stay awhile.

We're happy to have you here :D

I speak 4 1/2 languages and French is my third so sorry for any spelling errors there, I can't type in French for some reason!

This site is very safe though, Ive never seen another forum where you're posts need approval by mods/admins so don't be afraid of being yourself :)

Welcome, Alexxe. I love how you spell your name. Please let me joing my friends in

saying hello. You'll find friends here, and shared experiences, and resources. So please

check out the forums and the chat rooms and make yourself at home. You're among

friends.

And don't worry about your language skills, dear. We have a lot of members from

the South, and we on the west coast don't think they speak real English either :P

(really, Sally, just kidding!)

Good to see someone from here. And don't worry about the french mistakes, it's a very complicated language, especially with the objects' gender: even I don't know whether plane or bus is masculine or feminine, but my grandma always let me know when I make them :lol:

Thanks to you and to Carolyn :)

Welcome to Laura's Alexxe from a fellow Canuck! I don't talk much here, but I read and learn a lot. There are lots of other fellow Canadians here as well. Sometimes it helps to find out what resources, doctors, etc that are available in our healthcare system. In fact, the premier surgeon for SR surgery is in Montreal. His name is Dr. Mark Brassard. Also look for support groups in your city if you live in one. It can mean a lot to make friends that understand and are going through the same thing that you are. Enjoy yourself here and "post" away. This really is a safe and loving place.

      I'm not sure the past is a sure guide to future needs.  LGB have no dog in the fight on public restrooms, for example.  That is T only, and only some T at that.

      When I appear on the radio and podcast it will be in discussion with a political scientist who will discuss those aspects. I’m focussed on the implications for kids and why the recommendations are flawed. But yes, I will probably briefly paint the political background.

      GFY, @Betty K. Don't forget to write about the motivations for the Cass Report, and who paid for its conclusions. "Cass Met With DeSantis Pick Over Trans Ban: Her Review Now Targets England Trans Care." — Erin Reed  And now its back to America, 'surprise, surprise.'

      Hi @Sol. Great to hear from you and your updates are all encouraging. Wonderful all the support you're now getting from your family and to hear you sounding so positive and hopeful. Career as an archivist sounds like a great path - sensible and not too specific, but endlessly fascinating at the same time. Not only do museums employ archivists, but so do many other institutions such as historical societies and universities. Your university may have its own archives which you could visit and learn about. Take care & be well!

      Hi @KathyLauren no worries!   I’ve only ever gotten a two-year degree in programming, and that one was just because I existed in the U.S. Air Force as a coder long enough to qualify for all of the technical credits, then I just took CLEP and DANTES tests to get the rest.   Most of my work has been in the security arena, lots of C/C++. Worked as a Red Hat hacker for a few years, and spent a few more years in gov’t spaces.

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!
    • KathyLauren
      Oops.  Sorry, @AmandaJoy, I see you have already posted an introduction. 
    • KathyLauren
      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!
