Hello from a hot place....
« on: July 21, 2022, 07:57:15 pm »
First off, I have been visiting this site off and on for quite a while and thus far imho everyone is top notch. There I said it.

My name is Rebecca (Becky or Becca work as well) and I am MTF currently on HRT (2 yrs) plus I am older than most - 62 years young. I guess I am a late bloomer. I have always wanted to be female but lets just say there would have a high price to pay if I kept to my ways when I was young. When I say young, I mean from when I can remember to about 10 yrs old. But that is not why I am hear. We all have baggage - so what, we are hear.. I am extremely lucky to have the support of a loving wife who understands what is in my head and lens that I look through every day. Some days I like what I see in the mirror and others I do not. It's almost as if my skin is wrong-that is a topic for another day. For what it is worth I am in an extremely good place, I am sorting out the mental stuff with a new therapist this upcoming Monday, my hormone levels are good, I am talking to some plastic surgeons for some work I am thinking about having done. For the first time in a long time I like who I am. I am working on what others see and what I see in the mirror which is all I can do.

There you have it, my intro.

Becca,

Welcome!

Be a good example of good behavior.  Always be kinder than needed.  Be tender to others.  You are as beautiful as the thoughts you think and the words that you speak.   Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding.  Knowledge and action shown without love is not impressive.  If you look for the good in people you will find it. Healthy relationships are so important to good living.  Serve others.

Good living, joy, unity, love, and happiness can come from following these practices: Never let selfishness or conceit motivate you.  Regard others as more important than yourself.  Do not limit attention to only your interests, but include the interests of others. 

It is not usually about how fast you transition, it is about how well you transition.   .

I am a brown eyed brunette.

Hello and Welcome Becca!

 Sounds like you are in a very good place with all this stuff in your mind and in your marriage… Those things alone provide a great foundation upon which amazing things can be built!!!… Enjoy the liberation to be found in finally moving in the direction that has always called to you and enjoy all the amazing and unexpected discoveries that have patiently awaited you for all your life… 🌻

My favorite snippet of Whitman for you as you find your self, your new place in the world and your place amongst others in your life’s journey… All good things to you!!!

From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
Listening to others, considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.

I am larger, better than I thought,
I did not know I held so much goodness.

All seems beautiful to me,
I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me I would do the same to you,
I will recruit for myself and you as I go,
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go,
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them,
Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me,
Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me.


Onward We Go Brave Sister!

All I can say is WOW! I have never been quoted Whitman before. I feel honored... Thank you. One thing I forgot to mention in my intro is why "starchld"? According to family lore there was an old lady roaming the halls of the hospital that I was born in. And she stopped by my birth mother and told her "your child is a child of light" and a relative heard it and that is when i was branded with the nickname of starchild. She probably told that to all the new mothers. Kind of weird I know but I was compelled to explain the reference. Not sure why but I was.

Again, thank you all...

@starchild

What a great backstory Becca!… Thank You for sharing it… I often wonder what inspires peoples’ online monikers!… I hear in all the words you’ve written, the sound of someone who, in many ways, has all of this stuff in the bag so… just enjoy it all… the hard days and the glorious days that hold experiences you never realized would be yours to enjoy!… Your life is just beginning at 62 and you will see the world through new eyes!… if you click the link at the bottom of my signatures and quotes… You will find a post I did in the Before/After thread about coming to all of this later in life… There may be some words there to reinforce the hope that fueled your choices and your new direction!

Hugs!!!

It has been a hot minute - since July 2022. Wow... I almost need to reintroduce myself. Lets see.... I went through lipo and fat transfer to breast. All I can say is I am quite happy with the result. I have never fit into jeans so well and the ladies up top are amazing. I am now to a large full B approaching a C. Let's just say they don't hide that well. I did run into issues with my therapist in short she bailed and went to a different facility that is not convenient. I need to start over again. This will by my third time - hopefully it will be the charm... As far as bottom surgery is concerned that is still my goal. I am considering both a vaginoplasty or a vulvaplasty. I am at an age that intercourse, while it would be fun and all, my significant other is not interested in a strap on if you know what I mean. I made it through the conference and the project was successful. I stressed over nothing really other than my own insecurity. I did cut my hair short to "blend in" and that was a mistake in hindsight. I am back at growing to back out. So there you have it. The last 6 months.

More to follow......

Dear Becca:
Thank you for your followup posting and update regarding your
transition journey since you last posted about 8 months ago.

I can read between the lines about your excitement... properly
fitting into tops and jeans... and your happiness about your
"almost" C-cup !!!!   :) :)

Again, thank you for coming back to update me and the rest of
