Opem message to all Transgender members

For those who have or are somewhere in transition, do we still do the same activities (household chores/hobbies/work) that we have always done, but are now on the other end of our gender norms, and longer match our current persona? I held some typically masculine jobs along my journey, thinking I would achieve the norm for myself, and it did not workout. I do still do some hints that seem out of character, because it is convenient, but prefer not to.

Just because I'm curious about these subjects, you might consider them.

• How many members are still questioning a transition, in the process of transitioning, or have already transitioned?
• How long did it take people to come out to their loved one's as transgender or having gender dysphoria?
• How long did it take for people to come out as such publicly?

I'm sure I could think of more, but those are just the ones that come to mind first.

Hi Xelyn and thank you for your questions, please do send any more you may have. What you have asked is something that would be very hard to do. I suggest that you can look at individuals Profiles for some answers but to make them a general poll topic would be impossible.  We have almost 30, 000 members world wide (at least that is what the consensus is). New girls join, some girls leave but we are increasing in membership by leaps and bounds. All our girls are either thinking about CD/TG , starting, working on, completing or living their journey.

Cami is running the poll section so maybe you can contact her and see what she says. I am having a time covering TGH and CDH Forums as well as welcoming new girls , can't get to them all, but I try.

Xelyn....thank you again for your interest in our sites and look forward to great things for you.. Remember.....my door is always open to you sweetie.....do come in and chat.

Hugs

Dame Veronica

How old is too old? Do we reach a point where GRS no longer makes sense?

I am 64...almost 65 years old...and a number of ladies on the site are in my age bracket. I am struggling with the reality that it may well be too late for me/us. While I long for the physical body that will finally integrate with the woman I have always been in my soul...is it simply too late?

Hello Dawn.... I am saying it is never too late....I am 66, and started transition 1 1/2 years ago... and after living 3/4 my life trying to be someone I am not, I feel so relieved to be on a path to who I really am. I go through periods of sadness that so much of my life is over...but I am also excited to be learning more about the community here and elsewhere...

Dr. McGinn did SRS on an 80 year old trans woman a couple of years ago, so you are only too old if YOU think you are too old.

I found your post refreshing and helpful.  I don'r have anyone in particular to talk with, but I am tired of being a people pleaser.
