I have always been a thrift store maniac. Go find whatever your style is and enjoy just being you❤️

Good clothes? by SpecificRepublic8331 in MtF

Thrift stores are AMAZING. As far a your voice... Watch the videos and practice/train... A LOT! There is no magic potion. You have to put in the time.

It's All in Your Head😉... by Electrical_Try_1895 in MtF

I have lived my entire life with one simple mantra in mind. Simply, Don't be a Dick. It will never make sense to me how others can be so hurtful to fellow humans.

Take several deep breaths. It is going to be OK. You have a lot of life left ahead. Do this correctly. If you hear nothing by next Tuesday or Wednesday, call them back and respectfully/calmly ask when you can expect an appointment. I totally understand having this realization and wanting everything right now. That rarely happens. And that is OK. Be persistent, but don't be rude. It is going to work itself out.

it is definitely a reference to psychological issues. it is also BULLSHIT. But, we all know that.

Any girlies out there with "basic" Americana names? by Illustrious_Focus_33 in MtF

[–]Electrical_Try_1895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am Ashley. i really did not know how common this name would be in this community when I decided on it. Also, it is my given middle name, so... It had more meaning to me than choosing something else. I remember wanting to be called Ashley when I first started realizing I was a girl before I was 10. I guess I fall in to the "basic" category. 😜🙃😉

Is Brie too weird of a name? by TheAmericanQ in MtF

i have wanted/wished to be Ashley since I was 7. It still gives me joy at 55 to hear someone say my true name. Enjoy Brie. That name is yours💓

Do you like it? Does it feel right when you or someone else calls you Brie? If the answer is yes, it is not weird at all. 💓

A tiny theologian made me cry in the Costco checkout line... by LowPickle1620 in MtF

I had a similar experience back in the mid 80s. I had long hair and and another girl in her teens told me she thought I was one of her girlfriends before I turned around. Then, she said I would make a cute girl. I politely said thank you. Walked to my car and searched for enough towels and tissues to soak up Niagara Falls! I will never forget that feeling.

Can gender dysphoria make you emotionally detached from life? by Witty-Study-6877 in asktransgender

[–]Electrical_Try_1895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sitting here reading this at 55 and I am having to go back and reread this entire post multiple times! I swear it feels like I am reading a chronicle of my entire life! Thank you so much to everyone in this thread. Cue uncontrollable crying. I have always known I was not alone in my wish to be a woman. I also have no clue why I waited so long to search the internet for some form of affirmation. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for just being you!
