My name is Tory

Hello everyone!  My name is Tory Aoi.

I'm a transgender woman, pronouns she/her.

Not out yet so in public I'm quite stealth, but someday in the near future I want to transition.

I'm 44 now, going on 45 in June.

This isn't my first attempt at accepting my identity, but that's a long story for another time.

I'm a musician and I play tuba (perhaps a bit unusual)

I work as a software engineer, always been a technical computer geek.

My favorite color is green. ?

I'm somewhat obsessed with Japanese culture and language.

I'm married and have a very supportive wife that I've been able to come out to and be very open about who I am. ?

 

Nice to meet you all! ?

Hello Tory Aoi, it’s nice to meet you too. You sound like you’re at a very good place in your journey right now. Having a very supportive wife like you have is such a plus in my experience.  Your journey thus far must have been very interesting. This is a safe place if you ever decide to share more of your story. I’m sure many of us would enjoy reading even more about you if you’re ever open to it. Thanks for joining us here and sharing some of your uniqueness.

はじめまして、よろしくお願いします。

Sounds like we could have much to talk about, that's awesome!  I do recommend visiting.  My wife is from there and we have visited multiple times ourselves, so much so it's practically a second home to me.

Please accept my apology for contracting your name so that ended with an "i" instead of the spelling you chose "Tory".

But once again, welcome.

Ah, it's ok.  I actually didn't notice until you mentioned it, I've been distracted by a lot of other things today. ?

Off and on the past week I've been writing up a more detailed accounting of my experience, but even abridged it's somewhat long.  I think I'm almost finished with it, although I wonder if it might be easier to break the story into smaller digestible pieces.

You could put it in a blog. That way you could keep it whole.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
