As a new person to the forum, I wanted to say hello to everyone. I have  known since the age of 5 that I was different yet back in those days, different meant you could be put in a mental institution. I served honorably during the Vietnam war era, though I was fortunate to stay stateside and was attached to the 502nd MP Company at Fort Hood, TX.

My life has had its many up's and down's until finally in 1992 I started hormonal therapy, my coming of age. During my career I was a syndicated talk show host, started my own company and became a political advocate of transgender rights.

Finally I am also an author including my personal mini-autobiography, "Through the Fog: A Journey Into the Unknown".

Hello to everyone and may the spirit within guide you each and every day.

Welcome to Trans/Pulse.  Like you i knew early but it took me even longer to start transition.  Fortunately i found a path to myself.  Glad you've joined us here.

 

Hugs,

Hello Jan!  Welcome to the forum.  I was in the military at the very end of the conflict, staying stateside as well.  I'm glad you found us and registered for an account.  You seem to have had an interesting life.  I look forward to hearing more from you.

hi Jan, i'm kinda new here too, but ancient in most other ways.  When i was fighting to be a boy, i did stuff that was meant to make a man of me. Didn't work.  But i joined a Canadian army regiment and got the same rank as Adolf Hitler - lance corporal.  I think that's PFC in American?  They decided i was unsuitable, but not before i had a glorious fling with a huge corporal.  In England i had a passion for Royal Marines although i was married then.

i'd love to know more about Oklahoma.

      The one thing about this position, if you want more hours just wait and be flexible.  I’m now working until 7:30 pm instead of 4:30.

      I hope your head cold goes away soon! Sorry you have to cut grass with that.   Love the new t-shirt   I love that one.    What Jeep would you want to get? That is awesome about your wife getting better!

      Welcome Mattie! I would recommend the first step is finding a gender therapist and see if you are or aren't. Then one of the biggest steps if you are do you want to start hormone replacement therapy. The decision should be thought long and hard. There are irreversible effects. Looking forward to your next post! Take care!

      Well every girl needs a play toy. I just happen to have 7 of them.   My hoses finally came in. have the passenger front installed. Now trying to figure out how to do the drivers side when the tire is still on and there is no room to do it.  I'll figure sumthin out.  I is smrt.   Well have the wife home with me. She wound up falling back asleep after turning her alarm off. I woke her up at 6:20. She is due to work at 6. She decided to just call in.       MaeBe that is what this thread was started for. A chat place to share our days and thoughts for the day.   Hugs   Kymmie

      @Willow, it's great to hear about your wife's progress! It's also fun to hear about day-to-day stuff, like work. It's nice to think of this thread as a kind of morning chit chat place to go, like if we had a big table at The Daily Grind and were just listening and sharing over our morning brews.

      I'm at 11 months and definitely feel much better! I did go through rollercoaster of emotions. I'm looking forward to year 2 and hopefully fill out more. congratulations on making it this far and you are correct that you are in the early stages.
