I just started telling people in my life and and i figured I would tell all my Lushy friends as well.
I've known for a long time I was different & something wasn't right and I've known for a while what it was but i just started admit it fully to myself and those close to me and the more people I tell the more weight is lifted from my shoulder.
When I can I will live fully as a woman as I transition. I know I have a very long way to go before I am completely happy but this is a good start. I am finally happy with myself and while it's taken over 20 years for me to say thing I am not ashamed of who I am

*hugs* .... I know it is hard, but you are doing everything right ... the truth is always the best!
I have been blessed with witnessing the transsexual process with my daughter's friend, from a woman to a man ... and he is evolving into a wonderful PERSON, because it feels right now for him!
I encourage him, as I do everyone on this personal journey .... being the authentic you will result in a happier and healthier you!

and the name I have chosen Is Lorelei Ariana Allen
You only get one shot at life and then it's game over. I'm glad you had the courage to do what you felt was necessary to be happy. Never look back and enjoy your life moving forward
I just want to say I have been very surprised by the people on lush. Everyone has been respectful. even if they are straight males they are very respectful and either apologize and take their leave or actually stay and talk to me and get to know m as a woman. Some have just left the chat out of nowhere but even that is great compared to the bullshit & harasment I thought I was going to get from guys (and some girls) just here to get there rocks off).
I can't help but admire those people that decide to follow their hearts and live their lives as they need to..
Never be ashamed for who you are Lorelei.
I wish you every happiness
I have nothing but respect and admiration for those who are able to be sure and open about their inner self. I wish you joy and great happiness on your journey through life. Each of us must walk our own path, and I admire your strength and bravery in walking yours.
Ut incepit fidelis, sic permanet.

well I told my mother and she asked if I got my genetic material checked. Said something about phenotypes & genotypes.
I flat out asked her if she can accept her 2nd son being a woman...she is now ignoring me' texts & calls. I am giving her until 10pm (5.5 hours) to say something before I say goodbye for good.
so my mother got back to me and it went about how I thought it would. I ended up calling her which was a fucking mistake. At the end she had managed to turn the entire conversation around to being about her and still wasn't able to tell me she would support me & be there for me.
Now if you will allow me to I am going to use a word I hate and only say to describe the most disgusting woman on the planet *my mother is a cunt* and I just don't want her in my life anymore
True but I have never gotten along with my mother. I don't want to go into details but this decision is a long time coming. I will give her a little bit of time but I don't know how much time I have left for her
Lorelei Ariana Allen It's great that your weight is finally lifted, coming out and accepting what you are takes a lot of courage. You will find many understanding and honest friends here in Lush who will help boost your confidence further.
I wish you well in all you are going through. It can take a great deal of courage to be true to yourself. I'm so pleased, but not surprised that you have found respect and support here at Lush. It's a great community.
Stay strong within and it will work out well. Just be very, very careful of your personal health, physical and metaphysical (emotions particularly).
Haineko, you are a very brave woman, not only for facing a life and body altering transition, but also for leaving your support system and moving across the country to do so. You the type of person I very much admire. Best of luck to you!
I am fairly new to lush and this forumso i just found this thread. I have great respect for what you are doing and how you are doing it. You must be a very strong person. I hope that all goes well and hope that with the transition you will find happiness.
So I found a MtF support group that meets every Friday in Portland. Now all I need is a way to get to Portland every week.
Haineko's story has inspired us all and she is a true inspiration for people to follow. She has been through trials and tribulations and has alway made it through. I have heard her story so many times and it continues to amaze me. But in her hard times she needs us like she has been here for us. Haineko is currently homeless and is living in a mission and is in need of a place to live. If you know anyone who needs a roommate or if you are willing to help or knows someone is will help. Please please contact her with the information. Your help is greatly appreciated.
