My hobbies including reading, cooking, art, theatre, music, and stuff like that.

Well, I hope to hear from lots of you soon.

Hi Hannah! I'm new here too.

1TruFemme 01-25-2014 08:44 PM

Technically a Newbie
 
It's hard to feel like a newbie when I have had the chance to reconnect with old friends from the old B-F site but I techically am so I will take the opportunity to properly introduce myself.

My old friends often refer to me as 1Tru or simply Tru. I am a very "traditional" femme that loves and apprcitates butch women regardless of exactly what they use to describe themselves. I cringe as I admit that after 8 years of being away I rejoin the butch/femme world in my late 30s. I am a mother of three and live in the Atlanta area. I'm always up for making new friends, especially ones in my area or even just visiting.

So hi to all from down south. I look forward to getting to know some of y'all better.

Lady Pamela 01-26-2014 12:09 AM

Welcome!
 
Welcome!

Looking forward to getting to know you all.
And reading your posts.

I hope you get the same peace, friendship, humor and warmth from the community that I have been able to feel from the majority of those on the site.

Hi Jessica! Welcome to the planet. There are a lot of people here from the Pacific NW so I'm sure you'll find a lot of folks to talk to, even outside of that area. Have a lot of fun!!

Howdy 1TruFemme. Welcome back to the land of butch and femme! Glad you came back. It's fun reconnecting with people from other sites that you haven't seen in awhile. I hope you enjoy this site as much if not more than the others you have been on.

Hi Cris and Welcome to the planet! This is a great place for shy people. You can talk to people through your typed words and come out of your shell. It has definitely helped me in that regard. Glad you are making some friends as well.

Cris -

Go to your User CP (upper left hand corner) there you will see all those nifty features, such as your signature under the column of Settings & Options. Just select Signature and go to town.

Also - There is a section here on the website. Called Members helping Members. http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...hlight=Newbies

Lots of helpful folk around.

Hope this helps.

Bumping this thread up for a sweet newbie! :cheesy:

Sistermarypeaceandjustice 02-01-2014 11:29 AM

Hi from sister Mary
 
I'm a woman in midlife (wow I never wrote that before) tried and failed to be lesbian in the 80s. I think the problem was the lack of butches around me. In those days the message was that butch femme was patriarchal. I thought I couldn't be lesbian because I couldn't make myself be attracted to feminine women.it never occurred to me that I was only attracted to androgynous people and that that is ok. Then I got in a relationship with a man who was on the feminine side. Being bi in those days was also terribly uncool. Traitorous almost. So I felt I couldn't be part of the Gay Lesbian community (bi and trans and queer hadn't been added yet )although I looked on wistfully.
Fast forward 25 years I'm divorced (the guy I was married to had become a bully) and I find I only want to be with butch women ( and MTFs are so freaking attractive).
So I think the prejudice against b-f lesbians and trans people from 1980s feminism certainly didn't help me.
I had to wait until I was a middle age woman to understand who I am.

TruTexan 02-01-2014 11:56 AM

Sunshine 02-01-2014 11:44 PM

Hello everyone and thank you Linus,

I have lived in Los Angeles, California for 33 years now. I am 48 years young. I was born in Lebanon as a Maronite but I have become an atheist with time. I am easily excited by honesty, it seems to be a rare trait to find for me anyways. My hobbies are a very wide range of cooking, baking, fixing and building things, working on my car and working out. I am more of a thinker than a talker :) and I am very shy which is why it has taken me some time to introduce myself. A friend shared this site with me. I really love this site because of the bond and honest between everyone. I really have come to appreciate this site, it is very unique. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Thank you.

Julie 02-02-2014 07:25 AM

Welcome Sister Mary and Sunshine ***
 
Welcome to the planet Sister Mary and Sunshine.

I hope you both find (no doubt you will) a great community here. Don't be afraid (or too shy) to jump right in. You will find fluff and lively debate.

Welcome!

Julie

TruTexan 02-02-2014 08:03 AM

Welcome to the Site Newbies: I hope you find your stay here very welcoming and enjoyable.

PanDragon 02-02-2014 10:57 AM

:newbie:Wow, I don't even know how to post to introduce myself! So this is a test! Haha!

C0LLETTE 02-02-2014 11:31 AM

Well done ..and rest assured, if I could figure it all out, you will too.!

PanDragon 02-02-2014 11:52 AM

By golly I think I've almost got it! Thanks COLLETTE!

C0LLETTE 02-02-2014 11:55 AM

Hello sister Mary! Glad you found us here at the planet. Glad you finally were able to figure out who you are. Some of us get it right away and some of us it takes awhile. I'm a firm believer that things happen when they are supposed to happen. Call me corny or whatever but I believe it to be so. Really, who could blame you for being attracted to Butches??? Not I. lol
Anyway, hope you have a lot of fun here!

Welcome to the planet Sunshine. I know what you mean about the shy thing. The beauty of this site is that you can get to know people through words first so hopefully you will be more comfortable sharing with them/us. We have a lot of folks around here from California so I'm sure you'll even meet some locals. Enjoy!

tiaras-and-books 02-22-2014 01:38 AM

Hey everybody. :) I'm new and mostly lurky for now. I'm 33, from Alaska. My life is mostly made up of my friends and family, my dogs, reading, and writing, with tiaras, Disneyland, and dabbling-in/researching-the-heck-out-of different hobbies/subjects sprinkled in. Not sure what else to write here, but I just wanted to say hi. So hi! :bouquet:

C0LLETTE 02-22-2014 01:53 AM

I'm kinda new here myself, tiara. Hi there. It's rather late in the East but I'm sure that by morning and afternoon tomorrow there will be many more to greet you and welcome you. :bunchflowers:

Hello tiaras-and-books! Welcome to the planet. Alaska huh? I couldn't imagine living there although I hear it's beautiful! Hope you have a lot of fun here!

tiaras-and-books 02-22-2014 04:34 PM

It's definitely beautiful. And right now it seems to be warmer than most of the country, which feels a little weird. I can see grass (granted, it's frozen and brown) on the front lawn, and pavement in the driveway! That never happens in February!
Thanks for the welcomes, everybody. :)
