A little about myself

Hello, I am Joanne, a lifelong woman who is trapped in this male body. I began dressing as a girl at a very young age, I have always wanted to be a girl, I used to go to bed every night praying to God to please, let me wake up as a girl, I guess God didn't hear me. My childhood was not so great, I would repeatedly get caught wearing my sister's clothes so my parents thought there was something wrong with me, the first time I asked my mother if I could be a girl for halloween, she got angry at me & told me no, I continued bugging her for a week before she finally gave in but it was a short lived victory, my mother told me if I wanted to dress up as a girl, she was going all the way with it. The day before halloween, as soon as I got home from school my mother took me up to the shower, she put hair remover all over my whole body, after a while she had me take a shower, what little hair I did have was now gone. After the shower my mom made me wear panties & a bra underneath the girls jeans & top I had to wear, I didn't understand why she didn't give me any shoes but I found out soon enough, mom took me into her room where she polished my finger nails & toe nails a dark, blood red, when my nails were dry, my mom handed me a pair of my sisters platform sandels to wear. After we ate dinner & did the dishes, my mom said we should get ready for bed, mom put my sisters hair up in curlers for the night then she made me come over & sit in front of her while she set my shoulder length hair. Mom woke me up early to get dressed for school, everyone was to wear their costumes to school, Mom put pantyhose on me, my sisters pink mini dress, she stuffed the cups in my bra then gave me my sisters pink, open toed, high heels to wear then she sat me at her makeup table. Mom started by plucking my eyebrows, then she did my makeup, when she was done, she pierced both of my ears then put pink hoop earrings in the holes, she then took out my curlers & brushed my hair into a feminine style, she sprayed me with perfume then gave me a pink purse to carry. I was made fun of the whole day at school, some of the girls were nice to me, I was just happy it was friday, that was until I got home & my mom said I was spending the weekend as a girl. I went out trick or treating by myself & I loved it, I was not even concerned about getting candy, I was just loving being outside as a girl, I wished the night would never end. When I got up on saturday, I asked my mom what she wanted me to wear, she said what ever I wanted so, I put on pantyhose, a denim mini skirt, A black sweater & a pair of black high heels, I put on some mascara, eye shadow, eye liner, blush & lip stick, I put my sisters blue dangle earrings in my ears then brushed my hair into a girly style. When I came downstairs my mom looked at me, then told me I looked nice, mom told me to eat my breakfast because I had to go to the store for her, I was heaven, going outside two days in a row. I spent the weekend as Joanne, I even went to church as a girl, my mom thought by making me dress as a girl for a few days, I would stop wearing my sisters things, not a chance, I wanted to dress as a girl more then ever.

Welcome @joannewatters69, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I too had a similar beginning story as yours. Of course, the forced feminization by mom was where our life story’s parted. At age 4 after finding me in my sisters clothing, my mother grabbed me by the arm so fast, I’m surprised I still have one. I was scolded and undressed so fast my head was spinning and was told NEVER wear your sister’s clothes again. Quite a different approach than your mom’s. Both styles of discipline failed to stop our crossdressing obviously but they gave it their best shot I guess, didn’t they?

 

Thanks for sharing a little more of your story. I don’t know if your mom ever accepted this side of you but it seems as though you have and that’s all that really matters.

 

My Best,

Susan R?

My father first discovered me dressed at probably 10 years old. I grew up with no sisters so I had put my mother's clothes and heels on. He was confused and forced me out of those clothes and into my closet on my knees staring at a wall. That to him was a light sentence seeing as his father used to punish him far far worse for far far less. I can remember dressing as far back as 1st grade, which is at about 6 years old. It’s natural for us to do it. Outsiders will never really understand what that pull is like. I believe most of us have this experience before puberty.

I see now you joined up in January. So you’ve been much longer than me. I guess I had failed to notice this was in the biography section. Thanks for sharing your story.

      As a registered CA voter I would be HAPPY to vote against this bill ... BUT as @Carolyn Marie mentioned it has little chance to make the ballot.  Hopefully this will put the Death Knell on the bill.   wrt Parents Rights of notification.  I would agree if there was potential harm to a child, or if the child was involved in potentially harming somebody else.  BUT, that would not be the case in the preponderance of situations.  The decision to Come Out to one's own parents should be up to the individual child only.  If the child does not feel Secure or Safe in their household then it should not be up to the State or School to make that determination. If the child did feel safe and secure they would have probably already come out.  If they haven't ... then the situation seems obvious.  Protect the Child, not the System.

      Great news!  We ARE starting to receive more public support and visibility in opposition to these types of horrendous and wasteful bills.

      Nice to meet you @mattie22 , and Welcome! Your feelings are very normal.  I felt much the same at the beginning of my Journey.  But, in fact it is a 'journey' that is unique to each of our individual lives.  There is not a specific or pre-determined destination.  That's up to you to discover as you find your way. You already received some great Encouragement here.  I hope stay with us, and you will both discover and contribute.  Deeps breaths ... one step at a time

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation.
