Hi,

I've been looking for a site like this one, where, as my therapist says, I can talk about the real me.

I have known since I was like 3 years old that I was supposed to be born a 'boy'. I AM one! But, since I was born in the female shell, I have been forced to live life as a girl :(

I am VERY happily married to my husband for what will be 24 years, soon. And yes, he knows. I told him about my trans situation about 3 years ago. He said as long as I don't have a sex-change, its fine, jokingly. I'm bi-sexual so no leaving this guy, either way. Love him!!!!! But I prefer men 10 to 3, I'd say.

I dress in more manish ways when he is off working, and have a haircut that I'd still wear as a man.

I am 46 years old and am SO envious of the modern FTM's because they are actually changing their bodies and lives to fit who they are. Lucky, lucky.

I can just see if I did that. My family would flip out, and as I'm in Education, there goes my job.

I see young gay guys, or straight ones, who look similar to what I'd like to look like and it makes me so sad, and I feel cheated. I want to look like that!!

My gay friends are an awesome way for me to sort of live viacarioulsy through them. Don't get me wrong, I'd be friends with them even if I were the girliest girl alive. They just bring me a bit of peace.

Are there others out there in a similar situation?

I love music, men's pro tennis, writing, reading, travel, shopping, and animals.

Thanks for the therapy and without the fee, too :D

Welcome. It's nice that you're very happily married to someone, especially with the high divorce rate in our country. I hope we'll be able to help and provide decent free therapy for you.

Welcome to Laura's! You are joining a wonderful group of people who

are all here to support one another. As Sally and Donna Jean have

said, there are a lot of us here in the "slightly older" group, many with

spouses and families just like you. It does get complicated for us, but

that's why its so great to be able to talk about all of it with friends.

I'm so glad to hear that your husband is supportive and caring. That's

something to cherish. :)

Thanks you for the kind words and warm greeting! I'm glad to know that I am not alone.

I am looking forward to talking with others like myself.

      Congratulations on getting the go ahead with HRT. I'm so ready for my wife to drop her opposition. As for the mood swings... I would look forward to them myself.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Three reprimands and they suspend attendance for a couple weeks. 
    • Mmindy
      Good for the other participant. What's involved in a reprimand? At our age, what are they going to do? Withhold snacks...   @BirdieI'm sorry you have to put up with such discrimination's. I'm proud that you're standing up for yourself.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Associating LGBTQIA+ with pedophilia or "grooming" is a conspiracy theory as old as the study of psychiatry (mid-19th century) when early "scientists" theorized that homosexuality was caused by childhood trauma of having been molested by older men. Some of us have moved on and become educated since those days, but conspiracy theories have an uncanny staying power...the "power" of ignorance, including the titillation of scandal. There is some psychology about people being attracted to outrage and fear. Life is naturally dynamic and uncertain. Unless you have developed a transcendent mastermind, most people have some level of discomfort with that. Therefore, it is weirdly comforting to target a particular thing as a threat and to make a big fuss about it, whether or not it has any credence. And it is comforting to be one among a mass who are equally outraged about a thing, whether or not the thing is real. It is also boosts the ego to speak with vehement "authority" about a thing that is a known trigger for the masses. Like Vicky said, Dunning-Kruger Effect.   However prominent a movement there is or not of pedophiles claiming that their perversion is a sexuality (I have heard of that, but never as it being a major influence), it is the case that much of the viral spread of disinformation associating LBGTQIA+ with pedophilia is due to online trolls. Surely, there are loads of 'em. But here's just one reported story. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/posing-gay-men-twitter-troll-goes-viral-attempts-falsely-tie-n954721

      Another interesting day at the day-centre....   Another participant called me "sweet cheeks" and we both got reprimanded for inappropriate behavior. 🙄

      She stood at the world's edge, awaiting judgment Isolation judged to be an insufficient burden The skies above required a hand, precisely two To keep the heavens high and keep the vaulted sky from crushing you She bent her knee and gritted teeth, awaiting weight Mentally preparing mind and body for the grimmest fate. Her head was bent, the firmament so hard to hold, Her back against the wall and braced against a fall And all that matters is she never ever drop it There she stands.  If they weren't full, her head would be in her hands. Heroes they came, from far and from wide to gawk at the girl who held up the sky.

      This is a lovely look for you!

      Lets get this topic back on track folks.  Please spell out your acronyms for your specific meaning of the letter combinations and then re-read your own typing before hitting the send button.  We are here to be supporting each other and not stomping on someone's last nerve.  In the past we have used our DWF (Dirty Word Filter) to interpret certain acronyms and then the members were begging us to delete the posts for them one or two leaving with injured feelings.  Community Rules 7 (about posts being in clear English and Rule 8 (being suitable for people under 18) can come into play here. Thank you.

      I could be described, I suppose, as a RWNJ.   A little stereotyping seems to be going on.  Don't complain about Trans stereotypes if you turn around and stereotype others.  A lot of RWNJs are actually decent people and get called that by people who pick up on one or two alleged beliefs.  I would rather single out influential individuals of whatever camp and call them to correction.   Trans folk are a small minority, even as small minorities go.  There are probably a lot more RWNJs running around than there are trans folk.

      They cut a lot of trees here as well.  A lot of them toward the coast end up chipped up and sent to Europe to burn in power plants.  That bothers me, seems like a dumb idea.
    • Ivy
      Most likely.   Unfortunately this was expected.  I expect it will be the norm in any GOP controlled state that hasn't already done it.  So much effort expended against so few.  I certainly haven't seen my area being overrun by trans kids.   And yeah, I fully expect them to go after my HRT next. I think those that are railing against us are much more dangerous than some non-binary high school sophomore.

      Her name is Sunny and she is so much fun. But, as you said @KymmieL, it is a challenge with a new puppy. Thankfully our 13 year old Lab is taking the addition in stride and being supremely tolerant.
