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! 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,

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Ivy, I'm still holding on to hope that we won't separate/divorce because I can only imagine how much you miss your wife.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
