Trannynovae
From running the Angels for a number of years now, I have become aware of a regularly occuring phenomenon that I shall dub the Trannynova. This is a bit like a supernova only with more lace.
Let me explain.
These are trannies that literally explode onto the scene. I often see them around this time of year, as girls get new computers for xmas or maybe make a resolution to come out of the closet and find their femme self.
They finally strike up the courage to join groups like The Angels or Roses. And suddenly they post on every thread that is going, and start many others. They have a highly prolific post rate in those early days. Invariably there will be a tranny tunes post and maybe one about TV vs TS Labels (which never ends well).
Within a few weeks they are looking to come to Angelic or Transmission. They will then come out to their friends and family as a tranny and tell the world. They put pressure on themselves to be more and more femme in everyday mode.
This rapid explosion on the scene is then swiftly followed by the burn up. There's often some family friction, lots of guilt and then a purge. The trannynova has imploded...
I guess some girls just take things far too quickly. If I look back on how I "came out" as Joanna it took a long time. There was no Angels or Roses in those days (I can remember when all this was just fields you know).
From my first forays on internet discussion boards to (gulp) emailing a real live tranny took a few months. It was over a year and a half before I had my first night out en femme. A website soon followed and then it was another year before I went out for a second time.
My advice to new trannies coming onto the scene is to take your time and take things slow. I know this feeling of liberation can be intoxicating but try and maintain a realistic Tranny/Life Balance.
Being a tranny is a marathon, not a sprint..
or alternatively a tranny is for life, not just for xmas...

Agreed. Trannying's for life, not just for Christmas!

Exactly!
I've seen the same thing Jo, new trannies on the scene really need to find their own pace and not try and make up for years in the closet in a few months.

Yes hon, I couldn't agree more. Really well said. When I first started this tranny lark I also found myself being swept along by others who were in the trannynova mode, not understanding that they were about to explode. I'd watch it happen, and then another would come along. I didn't want to go that fast...but all the other newbies seemed to be doing it!
It was compared to me once as like driving behind a really slow lorry for ages (maybe years) and then suddenly you get some clear road (ie new PC, Xmas, New year Resolutions etc etc), you pull out and put the pedal to the metal. You then can't help driving like an insane person for a while, until - if you're lucky - you think 'Actually I seem to be going way way too fast for this windy road I'm on' and you slow down.
Or you don't, and you crash and burn.

oh dear thats me.
I went through a lot of depression as I strived do go shopping, driving etc etc.
Less than a year of doing this and I feel like I am finally getting a balance.
I dont fret over having my legs a bit hairy, not doing eye liner etc etc.
However know I am hoping that I am not going to fade and will continue to enjoy myself.
Next strop scheduled for a month or so :-)

Mmmmm. Ahhhh. I recognise myself here! What makes it worse is that it's all happened before: repression, coming out, explosion, repression, coming out... I'll try listening to you wiser girls this time.

Huuuh, I got baffled by a friend who told me has a very female side to himself and might physically become a woman someday. I found that I am a lesbian who likes male bodies, but would prefer to go out with a girl and I was hopimg that he would act more femallike(mentality).
He turned out to be very agressive sometimes and he would somehow abuse me mentally and act like a macho bloke.
I am so wondering whether this is hapening sometimes with trans people --that they tend to over emphasize their masculinity in order to protect their vulnerability?
