Introducing myself


Romilly

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

 

My name is Romilly, though I go by Milly. I'm a transgender woman, AMAB, and use she/her/hers pronouns. I'm still fairly early in my transition, having only grasped my truth back in July, grappled with it for a few months, and finally came out as questioning to my mom back in early December.

 

She didn't even let me finish before she had me in a skirt and putting on makeup.

 

Since then I've been living full time as a woman at home, and about 50% of the time out of the house (still too nerve wracking to go out on my own, but my mom is always there for me, so I'm able to get my girl on at the WalMart lol). Sadly, I'm in the middle of looking for a job WHICH IS THE BEST TIME TO TRANSITION RITE so I have to dress up as a man until I land some transfriendly employment.

 

So my mom is super supportive and has a lot of useful real life information on being a woman she's excited to pass on (my sister does not care about makeup and clothes). And that's great, but she really only has hints on being cis. So I'm here, since it looks like a good place to talk and get feedback and community with fellow trans.  And since it's not exactly a bed of roses doing this, even under the best of circumstances, having support is super important.

 

Love to meet you all,

 

Milly

Hi Milly! Welcome to TransPulse. I am glad you are getting lots of support from your mum. Family support really makes a big difference, particularly to stress levels. You will find a friendly crowd here so please don't hesitate to browse, ask questions and join in as you feel. I look forward to your input.

Hi Milly! It's good to meet you!

 

Little cold for skirts right now... I hope she let you wear leggings underneath. Congrats on the helpful mom though. Supportive family members are just the best! Followed closely by supportive friends of course.

 

I'm not sure there IS a great time to transition. It's always disruptive to your life and the lives of those around you. Things settle down before you know it though. There's just SO much paperwork, doctor's visits, etc... to plow through.

 

So welcome to the site. Follow the rules (they make me say that now). Poke around, ask questions and have fun! We're a friendly and supportive bunch.

 

Hugs!

Welcome Milly.  This certainly isn't an easy path but with yours Mom's support your several steps ahead.  I would suggest that you go to a gender therapist.  Mine helped me in many ways.  Glad you've joined us here.

 

Hugs,

      Well, I can not say good morning today.  The world has lost a loving, caring man that gave his all for others that are suffering.  I do not have details, however Tattoo Tom of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Organization has gone on to be with his daughter Shala and my Granddaughter Daphne and all the other kids with cancer and their families he tried to help.  You can Google the organization and it will tell you his story and what they do.  He used to run in Ultra marathons to raise money.  He was scheduled to run in the Moab 240 later this year.  Each mile is dedicated to a child.  You can see Daphne’s story on mile 233 and Shala is always the last mile.     if you have a few dollars to spare please make a donation.  The work of 5he organization will continue but it will not be the same without Tom.   Well on a better note, I learned last night that I can attend the Salt Lake City gathering of the Presbyterian Church USA in Salt Lake City. As a guest of our minister.  If I can get there I am going to try to go.  I am just waiting to hear from my son to learn if there are blackout days around the date I need to be there.  And I realize the bigger issue could be getting home so I do have th weigh the risk against the opportunity.   Thank you all for your concerns and prayers regarding my wife’s recent back surgery and my concerns about my voice.  My wife is definitely on the mend.   well I guess I need to get a move on it is later that I realized.   Willow

      Satisfaction   Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Good morning, everyone! I've finally pretty much finished with this head cold. I actually got 5.5 hours of straight sleep last night without taking any cold medication...or waking up to pee. I feel amazingly rested!!   Oh, @Willow, you are in my thoughts and prayers that your throat issue becomes less of a problem over time and not more.   I'm, hopefully, going to get our grass cut today. It takes me somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours on the zero turn mower but the ground is still so wet that I'll have to slow down a bit. At least it's supposed to be sunny and around 60.   Have a wonderful day!!

      This is all such wonderful news!!!! I can feel the happiness in your words.

      We have had some real dillies come out as the initiative sort of thing, but as @Carolyn Marie said, very few make it out of the petition signing seasons.  I am not surprised at the origin site of this thing, it is probably one of only 3 regressive leaning counties we have in the state. We actually had one of these initiatives started to make it mandatory for police to shoot dead on site any Gay behaving individuals wherever they found them.  For the most part the matters are poorly written in ways to be unenforceable even if enacted.  Thus most never become law or get to the voters.

      You make some good points, AYS.  But there are usually already too many ballot propositions each election, so the proponents know it's best to wrap it all up into a nice package.  Plus, it's easier for the signature gatherers.  Otherwise they have to have a separate clipboard for each proposition.  Too much paperwork, dontcha know?   This kind of proposition is a loser in CA, so the only possible way the proponents can succeed is to give it the scariest title imaginable and try to put one over on the voters before they get wise.  Bottom line; an ice cube on a hot summer sidewalk has a better chance of success.   Carolyn Marie

      Reading that article, it seems like the attorney general gets to call it whatever unless its an outright lie.  Given the nature of politics in CA, it seems like one side has the bully pulpit for sure.  Labeling it "Restricts Rights" vs "Protects Kids" is very much a matter of perspective.  Unfortunately, that matters since many voters don't bother to read.  Perhaps a better (unbiased) way to handle it would be to simply give the ballot measure a number with no title, forcing folks to read it.    I think it would have been better to handle the various issues covered by the ballot measure separately, rather than all at once.  For example, issues relating to disclosure of medical and social information to parents.  That could be its own ballot measure, rather than lumped in with everything else.  Besides, shorter and more succinct measures are more likely to be read completely.
