Hello all, new here.

[Guest WaRori]

Hello everyone at LP! ^^

My name is Julia (or so I prefer to be called) and I live in Ohio.

I used to be here in chatrooms a year or so ago, but disappeared. Anyway! I wanted to introduce myself.

I'm going to University soon and it's going to be so difficult, because I may be discriminated against. I live in a somewhat traditional family. My parents don't accept my decision and we pretty much have a don't ask don't tell policy at my home. I hardly get to be myself, if ever.

I am a closet TG. I am still unsure if I want to go through SRS or not. I'm very scared of men, almost have a direct phobia towards men. (Sorry for all males on this forum, I apologize)

I hope to make some friends, get some friendly advice, and all sorts of things. I can't wait to get started here.

Thanks for reading

Hi Julia,

<<< 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.

Welcome to the Playground, Julia. Nice to have you back.

Please look around the forums and feel free to post in any one of them (or all of them!). We'll always try to answer promptly, honestly and accurately. I do ask all our new members to please read the site Terms and Conditions, as they keep the place safe for one and all.

Its a shame about your home situation, but if you cannot get them to change their attitudes, it will only be a matter of time before you can be on your own, either in college or in the work world, and you can do as you please.

HUGS

I can't wait to get started meeting some of you!

Hi Julia,

All the advice is friendly and you'll discover a lot of wisdom and kindness here. You might want to set your jacket on a chair. Ain't a closet in the place.

This is my third time here. Like a bad check, I just bounce back. Don't be like me. Stay here and relax. Learn about others here and you'll learn more about yourself.

The very next post you make just might be the one I need, so don't hold back. Okay?

How any places can you go and get this much love so quick? It only gets better.
