Welcome Ryder, the Trans man part is what we are about, but we do not really go into sexuality except when people are surprised at changes in their life on this site. (We are not a dating type of place.)  Please do read our community rules carefully for what can and cannot be discussed.

Welcome Ryder! You want a few questions...I’ll play! Here’s three to start this thread off and get down to the good stuff.

 

OK, let’s see...What brought you TransPulse and what are your main objectives here?

 

Alright, here’s the next question...How has your family and friends reacted to your news if and when you came out to them, assuming that you’ve already come out to them?

 

And finally....When and how did you come to the understanding of being FtM and gay...was it an event that happened where a light bulb clicked on, did you know at an early age, or was it diagnosed in therapy or some other way entirely?

 

Feel free to ignore one or all of these questions.  These are just some questions I might ask you if I was playing your therapist.  Also, this may give us some useful information about you and your specific journey.

 

Thanks for playing along,

Susan R?

I saw that this was a place to help with specific parts of my transition so I wanted to look into that and possibly share my knowledge with my parents so that they can get a better understanding of what I go through.

 

My friends are super supportive, my mom just recently finally accepted that this is who I am and on occasion will refer to me as her son in front of people who I have come out to.  

 

I knew that I wasn't a girl when I was around 9 but didn't fully come out as a trans guy until I was 14 because I was trying to explore other possibilities.  I found out I was gay when I had my first kiss, it was with a girl and it was not the. best, I don't think I enjoyed one second of it, I am still friends with her to this day but after that I just knew that I was gay.  I also realized that I never really found girls attractive in that way.  obviously there are many women who are attractive I just don't see them the same way I see attractive guys.

Next set of questions...kidding! Lol?  Well we are lucky to have you here, Ryder.  You certainly came to the right place. There is an abundance of information. The key is locating it. If you are interested in finding something specific, I would start by familiarizing myself with the main index. If I’m ever looking for a topic, I seem to have better luck using the the Browse > Forums index page than the Search...but ymmv.

 

One last question from me...have you started your transition and/or do you have any particular destination in as far as your transition goal? Keep in mind transition goals may change at any time during transition so I’m just wondering if and how far out you’ve thought about your individual timeline.

 

Thanks for sharing a little more about yourself. We all appreciate your efforts and hope to hear more about you as time allows.

 

My Best,

Susan R?

Well I have somewhat started my social transition and am hoping to get on track to start hormones before I leave high school and get my name legally changed.  My main goal is to just do what I can to make myself happy and be myself.

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
