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

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

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Congratulations on your new family member!

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm not sure the time frame.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
