Hello I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Jillian Marie and I live in Olympia Washington. I am a MTF 40 years old and just now starting transistioning allthough i have known since I was around 5 or 6 years old. I spent the last 20 years in the military and this delayed my transistioning. Now once I am free I can start my life as it no longer will be on hold. I hope to get to know many good friends here and I look forward to talking to everyone.

thank you

Hi Jillian,

I'm 57 and about to start transitioning. My life has been on hold fo absolutely no good reason that I can find other than I was really determined to stay in the denial phose!

Olympia? As I recall you are right on the end of sound and not that far from Takoma, which is across the sound from Gig Harbor. That is of importance for two reasons - one is the famous Takoma Narrows Bridge collapse (The footage was unbelievable) and I have a friend who had her SRS in December who just so happens to live there. Waited even longer than I did to transition.

I'll talk to her in the next couple of days, she might be able to put you in touch with a lot of people you should know in the area (Therapists, Endocronologists and support groups to name a few. I'll help you two get together if she is interested in helping out (that will be dependent on her health more than anything else)

Love ya,

Sally

That would be great, I just moved to Washington about a year ago and I have yet to meat anyone really. Yes Olympia is rith at the tip of the sound, I am about 25 miles from Tacoma. I have an apointment with a Therapist Febuary 10th that I found through reading some of the web sites devoted to helping Transgendered. She is suppose to be an expert in helping girls so I am hoping my first meeting with her will go well.

Thank you all for the refreshments you know how to make a girl feel welcome.

Hi Jillian! Big congratulations on your transitioning! Thank you for your service to our country (the same goes for all our vets out there). I"m so happy you will become the person you really are. When I read about people transforming their lives for the better like you are I always start to cry :D That gets embarassing at work. w00t!

Big hug,

Irielle

Thank you for the welcome, sorry I made you cry. I have shed a tear or two myself since I have finely been able to start my walk down the path to living as my true self. But it looks like Uncle Sam has more plans for me I guess I did not get my paperwork in soon enough and so it looks like I will be going on another trip to the great sandbox. I dont look at it like it as a setback as much as its my chance to lose a few pounds. Last time I was over there I lost around 50 pounds this time I hope to lose the same. I will just have to make sure once I get back that my retirement paperwork gets processed and I will finely be free.

Jillian - don't worry about me crying cuz they are tears of joy. I'm sorry you have to go back overseas. I am SO terrible with paperwork myself - always late. Be careful and come home safely!!! I hope you can visit us here even though you will be overseas. :)

Donna Jean

Yes I plan to try to keep everyone updated we are suppose to have internet but as I have learned in the 20 years I have been in I will believe it when I see it.

Sally

Yes I plan to have the retirement paperwork done before I even hit the ground in the states. they will have to be quick if they want to catch me again.

Irielle

My friend used to be in this support group before her surgery, she admits to being a bit opinionated and left the group over a disagreement knowing that she will never change.

http://www.southsoundgender.com

She also said to give you her E-mail address because she has a bookclub that meets at her house - I will send you that in a PM (Laura's Policy to keep E-mails private). you might be able to make one before you leave.

Remember to tell her Sally sent you.

Love ya,

Sally

      Find and get in touch with the closest LGBTQ center near you and (1) they will know of programs that employ Trans people willingly and (2) will have ways to get you competent legal help to break you free of your family and their controlling and damaging behavior toward you.  I do not know Canadian Law on this, but here where I am you could get a court order to stop them from interfering in your life.  Gender Dysphoria is not a mental health issue that should keep you from managing your personal affairs.  The people at those centers know what we go through and are ready to help you.
    • Ashley0616
      You look great in all of them!

      I'll try!     I still have no desire at all to start wearing skirts and dresses, and I don't have the curves to justify wearing women's jeans or slacks. I think the furthest I will go is maybe some pretty and androgynous tops one day. That's what appealed to me with the hoodie - it just looked so much nicer than any of those on offer from the men's department.

      Hello.   My name is not Shelli but for my safety i have to use this name here.   Im looking for advice.   In canada conversion therapy is illegal. My family has employed a psiciatrist to comversion therapy me covertly. I am 45 and the administrator of a wealthy families estate.   I have been fleeing this for about 7 years. It began by me having mtf grs. I was supposed to have ffs and top and vocal aswell. They allowed the bottom surgery. Then began getting social workers, the psyc and an accountant to slander me from town to town as i tried to get work and stablity in my life. I eventually went back to male atire to try and hide and restart transition. Each time they wojld find out where i was and it would start again.   I spoke out about it and now they claim i destroyed there lives by seeking help and that im an adult child since i cant get a job while they do this so that i cant as i would take control of the families fortune. They have had this psyciatrist diagnose me falsly with scizophrenia, upsetting me then bipolat, borderline, psicotic, and so much more. They have even tried getting me framed for crimes i never commited.   Im terrified, living in the woods, off hormones and even when i turn to the lgbt community in my area they have convinced many of them that im a trans man etc etc etc.   It never ends.   I would like to hear any advice.

      This is a good point. For instance, way back when I was still in grade school, my older brother and I learned how to play golf with our dad. It's always been a favorite pastime. When I went to my high school reunion a year and a half ago, I met the 40-something year old daughter of a former classmate. Her job and my family structure (adoption) got us talking, and she loves to play golf. Instant new friend. If I hadn't been transitioning, I would not have chosen that group of ladies to sit with.    I've also enjoyed shooting for the past 50 years. I went to renew my concealed carry license last September, and there was one other woman, a couple years older, in attendance, and we connected. I've been to her home and met her husband, a retired pilot. I'm a retired air traffic controller, she works at a local airport museum. She's part of a small ladies shooting group, all aviation enthusiasts, and she and I have been to the range together. I've met some of the others, and we'll all go to the range as a group from time to time.   Sorry. Long-winded way of saying that transitioning doesn't have to mean throwing away every aspect of the old you in order to grow as the real you.

      Get ready for another damn RANT! I have helped my ex that I had kids with over and over again! I told her at the beginning of the month I had a meeting in Jackson, MS for trans people. She said ok. Today she asked if I would help her move to her new apartment because her current one is getting unlivable the same freaking day as the meeting! She of course played it off like oh I don't remember you telling me that. I'm so pissed off right now that I can't see straight. I'm trying to keep my cool because I do have the kids and I don't want to bad mouth her to them! She makes it so hard to even just respect her. Every time her text message or phone call on my phone it feels like my blood boils! I seriously don't know how much crap I can take before I snap on her. She uses them as an excuse all the damn time! I have to end it before I use more colorful language!

      My husband and I watched this show last night. It's a platform for genderqueer comics and a response to Netflix's shoddy record of non-allyship, we'll say.   “The last time Netflix brought this many trans people together, it was for a protest. So, progress!” Gadsby jabs in the trailer: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/hannah-gadsby-netflix-special-gender-agenda-queer-comedy-1235907944/   Some of the comics were better than others. But overall I found it amusing, affirming, and joyful. Watch it and share what u think.

      Hugs and positive vibes for you @Ashley0616   I wish I could be there and really hug away your anxieties. Have you tried a dark room, meditation, and maybe hyperventilating into a paper bag, to ease your breathing pace?   I'm also glad that you have a therapist who is available on short notice.   Digital Hugs are still from the heart. >HUGS<   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
