Love This Place

Recommended Posts

I love this place! It's because people here are real, they are emphatic and they are forgiving. I had forgotten that I had posted here previously under another pseudonym, one of the moderators noticed it and brought it to my attention, it was a blank spot in my memory from the moment when I decided to quit transitioning and returned to my former self. What I hadn't considered is that this internal drive never goes away and ultimately we have to come to terms with it. The moderators here know that and are wise enough to understand it and are considerate enough  to make concessions for our own forgetfulness and faults. I am most thankful for that and love them all for it.

This is one of the major reasons i went full time.  During therapy i saw how my gender issues had been part of me from before puberty and then throughout life.  I was going to die with this secret but am grateful that folks here gave me the vision to see i could live my reality in the world.  I am grateful that i am able to help pass that vision on to others.

 

Hugs,

Unfortunately the "need" never does go away.  I love this site as well.  Like many, long after I have completely integrated my feminine life I stay for the community.

You're right. It's very relaxing to talk to a supportive group of people who know what you're going through and can offer you tips about how to make things a little easier. Dysphoria is hard to live with and society doesn't make transitioning easy... though there are apparently difficulty levels based on where you live. I've been lucky. Not everybody has and my heart goes out to them. Anything you can do to ease another's suffering, right?

 

Hugs!

This is the single most important reason I finally went forward with my transition.  I didn't want to take it to the grave.  The idea of my wife and family never knowing the true me was horrifying.  After my younger brother's death a year or so ago, I realized life was too short and it was now or never.  Like Charlize pointed out, I found hope, understanding, and so many others like myself here to help me make it a reality.

I am so sorry for your loss.  My heart goes out to you this morning.  Our memories of our brothers will have to carry us along.  I'm thankful I had the time I was given with him.  It still hurts inside when I think about him.

 

Warmest Condolences,

Susan R?

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      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!
