To the Trans members on the site

Okay, so first and foremost I have some amazing friends. I've already talked to my closest ones, and they're perfectly willing to listen and support me. They are incredible and I love every one of them, but they don't honestly understand it. They can grasp the concept, and I've told them that I want to start seeing a psych about it soon and they're totally behind me.

What I really want to know though is whether anybody about there who's going through this, or has gone through it, would be willing to PM. I'm not talking anything extensive, just a kind of casual, whenever something crosses my mind and whenever there's time for them to respond.

I'm not looking for deep answers, or realizations here. Hopefully that will come from therapy. I'm just looking to occasionally converse with somebody who understands my situation and can empathize rather than sympathize, if that makes sense. Somebody I can compare my own thoughts and feelings with. I don't like to just randomly PM people without their okay, so if you're interested in kind of being an ear to somebody who could use it, respond here.

I can understand a lot of potential reasons for not wanting to, so if this thread doesn't get any responses, I won't take it personally. Just thought I would throw it out there.:smilewave

 

Thanks for the heads up on that. I'm sure I probably read that. In thw mean time I might take you up on your kind offer.

 

Thank you. I may post on your wall as well. Appreciate it!

 

Thank you. I'm looking for anybody who's Trans, at any stage. As you can tell from the initial post, I'm fairly early on as far as actually doing anything about it, so anybody who can possibly identify with what I'm going through, or those who can offer perspective are welcome. I'm sure that, though we're coming from different sides of the fence, there are probably a lot of similarities.

 

Thanks. It says you're a full member right above your avatar, so we'll assume you are. I have a couple of weeks before I can apply for full membership, but I'd like to add you as a contact, so I can PM you once that happens.

 

Hi Sandy. I would love to talk. We can't PM without full membership, but if you're comfortable going wall to wall, I'm doing that with a few others right now and it's been great. I'm going to send you a friend request and if you want to contact me, just post on my wall. I can't promise immediate responses, but I will respond.

The people I've been speaking with are further along in their journey than I am, and I would love to talk to somebody who's closer to where I am and compare notes

Hope to hear from you.

 

Thanks for the link ND. I'll definitely check it out

 

Thank you Rain Dreamer. I'll defi.itely be in touch.
