Hello all, nice to meet you ;D I haven't exactly started transitioning MTF yet. I just turned 37 and im very interested in undergoing the process and making progress sort of speak. I dont care that i know some people who are against LGBT people, that doesnt matter, they arent living my life or walking in my shoes or know or understand what im going through and dealing with on a daily basis. Im going to try talking to a therapist and had an appointment scheduled but it fell through and got canceled because i didnt fill out the online form in time so have to reschedule. This is to confirm whether i really am transgender and i think i am ever since i was born.
I was on these boards like 2 years ago on a different account but i forgot my username and password.
Hi Lunaria, welcome to Susan's Place!
I'm going to leave you with a copy of our welcome pamphlet. It'll get you off to a good start on the site! See you around the boards!
Hugs, Devlyn

Hi!
Welcome Lunaria!
Chrissy
Thank you everyone i appreciate it especially you Devlyn, im happy to be back here. Im a little envious by how you all look too, so beautiful and passing. One thing that worries me is being able to pass or not. If you saw a picture of me now even crossdressed you'd understand what i mean. HRT should feminize me to the point where i could pass probably, ive had men say i am beautiful just by crossdressing and wearing makeup. I loved getting complimented like that.
I was always under the assumption i was a femboy, not trans, which is different, but femboy's are usually naturally feminine which some of my features are but not all of them. Either way i think im trans and just need a therapist to confirm what i already know because ive been like this my whole life, family even suspected it but i never had enough courage to tell them. After i see the therapist, i want to get on HRT.
By the way i noticed some of my post got deleted and my other thread got deleted? Am i not allowed to ask specifically about that? I didnt mean to break the rules, i just didnt know. Im sorry. Ill make sure to read the rules. Im certain i used to know them but i forgot.
Oh and Chrissy your avatar was the exact same one i used for my other account if i remember correctly.
I edited your posts, there's an explanatory message in your inbox. :)
Hugs, Devlyn
Hi Lunaria,
Welcome!
The most useful skill to passing for many of us is learning to speak in a feminine voice.
This may not require surgery as some women have deep raspy voices like the actress Awkwafina.
But it may require lots of frequent practice to change your voice.
I had lots of speech therapy to modulate my sentences. As I started with a high pitched voice to begin with, it is now distinctly feminine.

For many of us, the word passing has no meaning.
If I identify as a woman, my avatar picture may or may not be perceived as passing.
But if I'm identifying as a man, I think my avatar picture is a complete passing failure. That's exactly how it goes some days. This dude goes around looking like that picture.
Hugs, Devlyn
Ill check my inbox. I agree Devlyn, im an active member on some other trans sites and basically they talk about being passable all the time. Its surprising that some of them even say hurtful words to each other but i decided to give this place a try again because im really serious about transitioning now. I think its hard with many doctors though.
For many some don't even realize or know you're trans unless you tell them, im sure. :)
If you're comfortable with your body, then it doesn't matter whether people think your passable or not.

I played golf two years ago at Highland Links near Provincetown on Cape Cod.
I doubt anyone in Provincetown cares about your gender.
Welcome back, Lunaria! I've only been here a few months and look forward to getting to know you.
