Hey,

I'm glad I found this site. I'm 25, and I guess for lack of a better term I'm genderqueer. I've been trying to outrun this for years, I'm not even fully out about my orientation. Even when I'm around people who could offer support, I shut down. At this point, I can't even have any sort of sexual relationship without having a panic attack.

I don't really present myself in a way that reflects who I am...and I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up. . All this has led to depression, self injury and severe social anxiety to the point where I can't really function. I want to wake up one day and just be okay in my own skin, and I'm not brave enough to actually make the changes that I need to.

Sorry this is a strange first post

Kris

Wel Hello there Kris!!

Welcome! Welcome to Laura's Playground! Please, I want you to feel welcomed and comfortable. I have got cookies, cake, pizza, anything you like!!

Now sweetie, we are all here for you, and don't think that your post was anything unusual. Almost everyone (including myself) are confused and at their wits end when they first join. As you participate here, your confusion will fade and your sense of self will arise more strongly than you ever thought possible. You are home Kris. Come in and be safe here. You are now going to be OK.

Love you

HUGS

Hey, Kris, Welcome to Laura's. Nice to have another member from the (somewhat tarnished) Golden State.

This is a tremendous resource, but as much information as it might contain, the truly

remarkable thing about it is the members. You'll find them to be supportive, non-judgemental,

warm, creative and funny. Take full advantage of their knowledge and experience. Somewhere

around in here there are folks who will understand you and can offer their assistance.

Please post whenever you are comfortable, check out the forums, and make yourself at home,

because you are.

Wow, Kris!

Brenda brought the whole kitchen out here for you.

What a welcome I think I might just have a slice of pizza if you don't mind.

We are like a very large family here and there is no pressure to figure out exactly where you fit in on the gender spectrum.

Take your time, look around ask questions have another slice of pizza.

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

It was quite the welcome. it's not been the best week, so this helped. I think I'm ready to actually confront all this nuts, well desperate enough. A lot of you are much braver than I am, or at least you make it look easy, which I know it's not. I don't have much to say other than that, well..I do..but it won't make much sense.

Thanks for being here

      Monday Musical History Day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Six Word Stories

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.

      Emotion of the day

      By Heather Shay · Posted

      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      I've been looking forward to the legitimate medical groups coming out strongly against Cass' biased and one sided report, so I'm really glad to see the article you posted, @Davie.  Unfortunately, it won't get nearly the coverage that Cass has gotten.  She has done her dirty work.  Hopefully the pushback and investigative reports on her and her support network will result in her work being shown for what it is.  She is a fraud, and sooner or later all frauds are found out.   Carolyn Marie

      Finally Starting HRT

      By KayC · Posted

      CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica!!  That's really BIG! I myself did not experience a huge emotional roller coaster.  It was more like a smooth slide into emotional comfort.  The biggest effect I felt is when my Dr put me on T-blockers first.  I felt a bit 'empty' for a couple of months, but then realized it was just because the 'T-monster' was no longer running around inside of me.  Then I felt it was my new 'normal'. I feel like the estradiol was the 'frosting' on my transition affirmation.  It's been only positives.  I do cry a lot more, but it's only because I finally feel free to allow my emotions to come out.  To me it's not 'hormonal' ... it's FREEDOM!   Everybody is different but it sounds like you are under great care.  I hope you have a beautiful first year in transition on HRT (keep us updated if you can).
