No longer a puppy

[tgpuppie]

The title is a shout out to my screen name really! I came up with it 15 years ago, definitely NOT a transgender puppy anymore. I'm an old dog with very few new tricks. I started my transition 15 years ago, on testosterone for 14 years now. I say I started 15 years ago, I didn't really start anything though. I legally changed my name and started taking weekly injections. Nothing about me changed. I knew who I was when I was younger and unfortunately put someone's happiness above my own and once that was corrected I started the process. 

 

I was born and raised in Florida and now find myself in Indiana. Have been here for 12 years. Usual story, moved here for a woman..it failed..and here I am. But my family isn't close, with me anyway, so it's not terrible being without them. I've made a small circle of really.good friends. I've recently become more open with my journey. I don't deny who I am anymore. I've had relationships where it was looked down upon if other people knew I was trans. That's a whole other bucket of worms for a whole other thread though!

 

I'm here to mingle and make some new friends and maybe share some wisdom as well as humorous and/or anxiety riddled stories!

 

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Chris.  15 years - that's a long time, but whatever you've been through in those years, one thing can't change; you've been able to be true to yourself all that time, and that is a something to relish, to be proud of.

 

I'm glad you came here to share your experiences.  I hope that we can be of as much help to you as you can to us.  I look forward to hearing more from you.

 

HUGS

Welcome Chris.  I transitioned in the small town where i grew up and still live on the family farm so my experience differs from yours.  At the same time i know that in simply facing society as ourselves we share a great deal.  Enjoy your time here.  Many folks at many different fazes of life where we can share without judgement.

 

Hugs,
