Hello Cindy :)

Just joined this forum but have been struggling with being TG all my life.  I do go out as Josie when I can, but my life situation will require me to "pilot the vessel I've been given".

Looking forward to getting to know everyone :)

Hi Josie,

A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family if we haven't already. I'm Cindy's alter ego. You know the better one.  :laugh:

Hope you have a good team aboard the vessel, as you'll be sailing "uncharted waters" like the rest of us. And without a good crew aboard you stand the chances of running aground. A good medical team of professionals is essential, if not mandatory, plus a healthy swag of real life and on-line friends.

Hope you enjoy your journey, and keep in touch and let us know how you are coping.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine

Hi Josie,

There are all ways to go forward even if they are small ones. Everyone's situation is different and that is why we are here, to help each other.

There is no race and no competition in tackling our problems and you may be surprised how far you travel once you get support and read and learn from others.

There was no way I was ever going to transition just three years ago. It was too much, I'd lose my job, my family etc. I haven't lost anything. I'm now full time, work has been fine I have more friends than ever, including some very peculiar ones in Sydney :laugh:, my Mrs Hyde as it were.

So never say never, just be comfortable and when you want to chat about specifics bring them up at anytime.

Hugs

Cindy

Do not live your life to make others around you happy.  Make sure your choices make you happy.

Hi! I'm Hazel. I pretty much identify as androgynous. I think I need to see a gender therapist because I'm starting to have moments of dysphoria, particularly with my breasts and my *ahem* lady parts. The only problem is that I don't know if my college has anybody experienced enough in non-binary genders to help me. And my sister's therapist is in my hometown, which is a bit far away. I feel like I should tell my parents soon, but it's just kinda awkward to say it and explain over the phone, much less in person.

Sorry for the sort of downer post. :)
With a laptop, my mounds of books, and history handouts, I could rule the world! Or, just think about my self-identity and help the world through being kind and teaching.

what a lovely site. I look forward to reading all these threads. I feel brilliant today because according to this test I scored 72, meaning I am 72% female. This was an obvious question, at a wedding do  I Get drunk then cry or Cry then get drunk (lol)

Hi. I'm Ashley. I just signed up within the last hour. I've been fighting this urge, trying to suppress it my entire life. I've never gone out en femme entirely (usually just a pair of jeans here, shoes there, etc.). I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and hopefully break out of my shell and finally start moving on being me.

Cindy

Hi you all,

I was a very frightened little boy when I joined.

I now frighten boys >:-), But then give thema hug.

Post away Hons.

Hi Cindy,
I may have already posted, but here I am again.  Not sure what the tags are for.  I thought I'd share a little about myself and my journey. 
My journey began, so far as memory serves, about 62 years ago when I was four or five.  Perhaps unlike other TG people, I remember very clearly the moment when I realized my desires.  My father and I were taking a walk up the block to Hillside Ave in Queens.  We turned right at the corner, then my father said to me "I understand you've been playing with yourself down there.  Better stop, or you'll turn into a girl." 
At that moment several things happened at once.  I knew my aunt had been talking to him, so apparently (my memory of this is vague) she had caught me fingering myself.  I promised my father I would stop, but lied and knew I was lying.  I acquired a secret, which Jung said was important to acquire at a young age.  My father and I would never again be completely open with each other.  But most of all, I was enflamed with desire and hid it as embarrassment.  Right then and there, I became determined to continue wanking so I would become a girl.  This has never worked, of course; but I did become a girl on the inside.
The funny thing after this is, I started attracting to myself people, comic books, and situations which fed this all-consuming fetish, if that is what it was.  And my aunt, it turned out, was a child molester whose aim was to produce just this slant in me.  I became her creature, and also, though inadvertently on his part, my father's creature.
Now I am taking Fenugreek seed , which promises to complete the transformation I have desired all my life, and which I have partly achieved at several times in the past. 
I find a great sense of peace and fulfillment now and a much friendlier feeling towards women.  Everything seems to have fallen into place.  This is obviously much more than a simple fetish.
End of my story.  Sorry to have talked on and on!

Hi Brianna,

Welcome Honey, glad you are with us.

I'm not sure how successful the herbs are, you cannot get them in Australia, I'm on the 'mones and they certainly work very well, so it might be an idea to see a therapist and get onto them as well.

Hugs

Cindy, 

Thank you for the kind and warm opening. It's nice to feel as though I am welcome to any place where I may express my thoughts and feelings.

I am VERY new to the forum concept and have rejected it for many years. But, I feel it may be the only place to express myself and not feel like I have to justify or deny my feelings.

I am a professional man, single parent, friend, son, volunteer and coworker. I have a really good outward appearance of someone who works hard, cares for his family and lives a "NORMAL" life.  But, inside I struggle to understand the thoughts and feelings I sometimes have.

I am at the cusp of another reinvention of myself. Something I have done many times, as most people do throughout their lives. This time, it has a sexuality / relationship component I'm not prepared for and not sure how to handle. More than anything, I don't know where to turn to ask questions, listen (or read) to what others have to say or have been through.

Like everyone, I hate to be labeled. But I have come to the realization that I am truly different than most of my friends and family. This leaves me feeling isolated and a bit confused. Who do I talk to? How would I even broach the topic with someone?
Am I strange? Am I bad or wrong for having the thoughts and feeling I have? I don't mind being different. I just don't know what to do next or how to act on my thoughts, feelings and attractions.

I think, but I'm not sure, I may be questioning either my sexuality or who I may choose to partner with. I'm don't know what to do with this feeling. I've heard from others I "need a good counselor". I'm not ready for that yet.

Is it even appropriate to introduce such a topic, like this?

I'm rather confused..

Some guidance would be much appreciated.
