Heyo I am Aidan

I am new here and look forward to meeting everyone here :D. My name is Aidan and I would prefer he/him pronouns, I am a pre-T trans-male. I am in my junior year of high school. Unfortunately my family is transphobic but I am out to them, school is pretty awkward but I feel happier as me. I am still exploring sexuality but I have a love for the ocean :) I realized I was trans around 8th grade and now I am in 11th so around 3 years now, but only this year I came out to my family.

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Aidan.  I like that name, BTW.  Congrats on coming out to the family, but I wonder what their reaction has been?  Are they at least tolerating your new identity, allowing you to dress, cut your hair, etc?  Or are they being restrictive and unsupportive?  I hope its the former.

 

Please ask any questions and look around the forums.  We're always here to help out any way we can.  Also, please check out the Chat Room, too.

 

HUGS

Hello Aidan,

 

Glad you have been able to come out, but obviously can be tough. I hope you will find everyone her supportive too.

Welcome Aiden,

School is perhaps alway awkward.  I know it was for me even though i did my best to hide my gender issues.  Glad you've joined us.

 

Hugs,

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Also to answer a few questions, My parents pretty much disregard my want to become a boy. So it could be worse I guess, though they will never call me Aidan, at least I can choose where I buy my clothes. I am actually getting a hair cut today so that's pretty cool haha

Hi there Aiden, Welcome!  It's good to reach out in difficult times.  We can be a very helpful bunch and I'm sure many of us can relate to some of your situation.  You're way ahead of the curve knowing what you want for yourself this early on. It took me years to find myself.  Thanks for sharing a part of yourself with us all.

 

Good luck with the hair...it can sometime be very stressful finding the person that can do it like you want it.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

Hello Aiden,.  Sorry to hear about your folks but its their call.  Continue your education so you can support yourself in a manner you wish.  I understand school can be hard when you're trans.  

 

As suggested, please join in.  Sometimes conversing with others, and even venting when necessary are a good thing.

Hi Aiden! I’m new here, but I totally understand that awkwardness in high school! I’m a sophomore. I hope it gets better!

      All these beautiful people in my biography, I feel so blessed!   No fallout from the Facebook avatar thing, yet. I instantly deleted it, but I really do like the avatar I created. I'll have to recreate it when I'm more out to friends and family.   I guess they weren't dancing, one was blowing a birthday horn and mine was "like, omg, so surprised!"

      This is what I'm seeing too. I hate it but it is the current reality.  I expect more trouble in the future since "they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes." Kinda funny how quickly things turned against us.  I don't think we can really count on the Democrats either.

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow
