GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

Hi girls! I've been away for a very long time and have missed this forum tremendously. When I was active last I had a different SN and was going by Becca. Oh how things change!

After a lot of soul searching (and a few signs) I came to the conclusion that the best way to honor my parents and to show them how serious I am about my true gender and transitioning was to take the name that they had choosen for me as a girl - Rita.

However, after that weight was lifted my world went completely haywire and I had to put my transition on hold (mostly) yet again. I will share some of the details at a later time either thru PMs or in one of the private threads.

I am still trying to finish the last bits of electro and laser on my beard and other important areas. But times being what they are finding the money to keep going is a daily battle. But I am hopeful and I think I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel with my finances. Just still no way to know how long my transition timeline will take.

But I've been missing the boards here. I've been feeling so miserable for months and months and months. It's clear yet again that I'll never be successful as a man. I can't even manage to relate to men well enough to get by. So here I am.

Welcome back. That's how I chose mine as well. Well, not my sceen name.

Hi and nice to meet you!
Uhm... you don't know how terribly much that resonates with me!
Even if I wasn't planning on transitioning and was just going to "cope" whatever that means the concept of not "relating" has bugged me for most my life..

Thanks Steph and Freespirit, and a warm welcome to you both as well.

There are a lot of great girls here, I can't believe I was away for so long. Most days the girls here are like family.

Thank you, there are indeed, and with as much variety as any other community.
