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

Jillian

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

This may be just a little late, but I just got an E-mail from my friend in Gig Harbor and she sent me a couple of groups, including a book club - let me know if you need them now or if I should just store them for you.

Love ya,

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

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.
    • MaeBe
      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @violet r   I think we all were scared with our first post here on TPF. I hope you come to find this site as welcoming as an old friend. Not knowing the type of retail you're in, it is hard to know how they will react to your coming out. I would hope that if it's part of a larger corporation they may have corporate policies supporting/protecting you once you decide to come out publicly. No one here will rush you, or try to slow you down, once you've decided to come out. Some of us are secret sisters, and others of us are as flamboyant as they come. The cool this is you get to choose. You be you.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Welcome aboard, Violet. What a pretty name!   You are among friends here. We are all on a journey, with things in common despite our individual uniqueness. I hope that makes sense!
