Not really sure what to say about myself because I hardly know who I am anymore. This is the first time that I am actually speaking of me being transgendered and I haven't had the best social life, so it is difficult for me to talk about it and I might leave some things out or be vague at times.

I am an 18 year old MT? (Well technically I am only 4 1/2 because I was born on leap year). Looking back, I have always been a little... different, even though I didn't realize it at the time. I was too young to understand the differences in gender roles. To my parents, it was just a phase, and as far as they know, I grew out of it a long time ago. But truth be told, I just got smarter and learned to hide it from the world. And since then, I have not spoken a word of it to anyone.

Why have I kept this to myself? For a lot of reasons, the main one being that I am not even sure if I trully am transgendered. All my life, I've been searching for answers, which led me to this website. I was googling for information a few years back when I came across this very helpfull site. I only just recently however discovered a seperate forum for people looking for help on trying to identify which groop they belong to, which finally made me want to become a member. I do realize the only way to find out for sure which group you belong to is to see a therapist, but I wanted to first see if I even had a problem; but I'm saving that discussion for that forum.

In short, I'm excited to be here, hoping I might find some answers and lift some of my depression through talking.

P.S. This is probably the most I have said at one time in my entire life.

I always like to welcome people, especially the shy ones to the forums by offering them a cup of hot cocoa and some fresh from the oven cookies - it just seems more friendly to say hi with a snack.

So come on and have a seat, I want you to hold the cup in both hands, now hold it close to your lips, just under your nose - do you feel the warmth?

That warmth is not coming from the cocoa, it is coming from all of the loving and caring people here to support you.

You are now a part of our wonderful family - Welcome.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi,

<<hug>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

We all look forward to seeing you.

Hi Hon---a warm welcome to Laura's. At 18 gender identity and sexual preference are not yet fully developed for many of us and for cismales it can take a little longer, so Hon, there is nothing abnormal that at this age you are on a journey of discovery about your gender identity. The wonderful thing about Laura's is that this is a place to belong, regardless of where your journey takes you. All of us here find ourselves outside the norm, whatever that is. We are all a family here, accepting, non-judgmental, and most of all caring.

Hugs, Ricka

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
