Hello I am Chris.This was my abbreviated name at birth.I Have been with a wonderfully careing,And totally trusting gender counselor for close to ten months now.I Have been on hormone therapy ,Monitored by a Careing and trusted Doctor Since October of 2015.The three of us combined,Working together.I the client,They the professionals.Have sent a letter to surgeon /s.That within this year,Help me toward achieving my life long goal of reassignment surgery.I am true to my self  excited!This is not my biological biography,Yet away for myself to open up with others who are shamed oppressing us to keep our inner knowledge ie,A secret.I was raised by a careing single mother.Who worked and provided the best to her ability.I have five other siblings.The black and white,My mother.Bless her,Did not ,Would not,Understand as a tortured child.All my feelings as a female trapped in a boys body.I repeatedly explained these experienced daily feelings to her.I kept a daily diary,That allowed me in expanding my writing skills.Vocabulary,And above all.Released some frustration.I had gotten a job as a child delivering a local weekly newspaper,And along with that in the summers picked berries,beans and cucumbers.With my earned money,I would purchase girls clothes,shoes,etc..

  These age appropriate girls clothes were a release,I could dress up,Dress down at bedtime.Yet with my brothers and sisters around,I couldn't.For they would tell our mother.Strict punishment.So I learned the keep it in the closet.Everything feminine I owned was tossed in the garbage.My diary read and thrown away.My eldest sister sharing contents of passage with her close friends.And the older classmates teased me repeatedly.Yet I go right back at purchasing Jr clothing,Writing And Reading any and all subject pertaining too transgender people and their individual behaviors within society.My mother believing fetishes,Crossdressing,Homosexuality.Was my motivation.All were flatly incorrectly diagnose.I am a female,And I want act out as normal as my sister's,Their girlfriend,My girlfriends/ classmates.I n closing,Back in the decades of the 1960s-70s.Not much was acceptable about transsexuals,Labels were a standard.And wrong.I was miserable as a child,And it became worse in my life as a teen,And into my twenties.Onset of male hormones,My beautiful soft voice turning into an alto sax.(Cry ,tears time)Suicidal times.I had never discuss with anyone," The Family shame".I once ,accompanied with my mother to the doctors office visit.Tried discussing I was a girl trapped inside this hairy boys body.Mom,quelling/ slapping my mouth as I talked to my doctor.His reply was listen to Your mother.I drew a conclusion from this doctor visit as a black and white.Never mentioning I am a female trapped inside a males body to any one,Professional or not.Which was totally wrong!And stealing estrogens,birth control pills,so as to stop androgens.Is also a wrong I did!

Welcome Chris.  It sounds like your moving out from under of your past.  My journey was in many ways similar to yours.  I'm glad you've joined us here.  This site has helped me especially as i learned i wasn't alone.  Sharing with others eased some of the difficulties i had faced and that continue to face me as a trans* person.  I must add that i love to share my "triumphs" as well.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Positive side of the mixed bag.

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
