Shy, Skittish... Hello?

Guest Felicia Anne

um, hello...

My name (femme) is Felicia Anne. I was born genetically male, and have been struggling with crossdressing and gender questions since I was 6. I have a desire to stop hiding who I am inside, and to embrace the female part of me, but there is a lot I need to overcome. Issues range from financial and privacy, to passability and self-confidence.

One of my closest friends (who knows this side of me) recommended I try this site for help and support. I am a skittish girl right now, and I'm probably going to become a turtle in a moment. But I wanted to say hello to everyone first...

Hi!

Nooooo turtles allowed! Hey - welcome home!!! you are with friends!

WELCOME-WELCOME-WELCOME

I am exactly like you - well, maybe not so meek. But I am MTF - I cross dressed for years and hid-hid-hid it all away... and now I am finally at peace.

Laura's will help you. We are G-rated (Laura say G-13 - but I don't know 'bout that!) We NEVER judge. We ALWAYS listen.

So look around - and ask a meek little question or two - ha! Kidding! Any question will do - well read the guidelines - and anyone her will help you out in a New York Second! (is time didfferent in New York? Donno)

Anyway - others will be along soon...

Yea Felicia Anne

My nane Elizabeth Anne is grounded on the Anne - such a wonderful history on that.

I just found the mini marshmallows, would you like some?

Enjoy the people here, we sometimes use humor to make it through some of the harder topics, but we can be serious whenever we need to be.

Have seconds if you like, you are among friends and virtual food has no calories.

Love ya,

Sally

It is OK to come out of the corner, the fire is really not that big considering how cold it is today.

I'll let you have my recliner, but I must warn you - it is evil and will cause you to fall asleep and miss something important.

Love ya,

Sally

That's it, hold the cup in both hands it warms you quicker that way.

I'm going to have to step out for a while a little unfinished leagl business with my ex, but I will be back this evenig, so if you do fall asleep in that chair I'll wake you up.

Doesn't this place feel warm and friendly?

I'll let you in on a little secret - it seems warm and friendly, because it is! :)

Enjoy your stay, I'll just freshen that coco before I leave.

By the way you are just one more post away from using the PM system so if you have a question that you are just too shy to ask in the generl forums, feel free to send me a PM, I work near my computer most of the time and I check in pretty often so I will answer just as soon as I can.

Love ya,

Sally

"thank you sally... and the chair looks nice..."

(sitting in the chair, half expecting the chair to bite me)

(it didn't bite me! it's nice!)

"...thank you!..."

(starting to relax just a little bit...)

You do realize that when I get back I will want my chair back, it's on loan not a gift. I'm friendly but not that friendly, I like my recliner!

Love ya,

Sally

Welcome Felicia Anne :) I see you stopped by my thread before I got to yours, such poor manners I have. I'm only on my third cup of cocoa so you'll have to pardon the one-handed attempt at a *hug* I hope we both have a lovely time here, everyone seems nice.

@Misa - grrrrr

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
