General Transgender Discussion

Ellsworth Rundlett III, Posted: 12/20/2012 1:01 am Eight years ago, my daughter Nicole introduced a new twist to our motley tribe. She was Nick at the time, the best son a man could ask for, but -- unbeknownst to the rest of the family -- she had always identified as a woman. When Nicole decided to become her authentic self, I was startled and unsure -- but time, education and counseling have made our parent/child relationship stronger than ever. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our extended family. --huffingtonpost.com The Cold Shoulder at Christmas: Family Holidays With a Transgender Daughter

Fantasia Fair in Provincetown, Massachusetts, is in October. I am in DC and I will plan to drive up...so I can offer a free ride to anyone between here and there... let's plan a group field trip?

How long did it take you to actually notice the distribution of body fat start looking like a woman?

Hey Girls, what's your favorite fragrance? I love Lilly of the valley, it's so sweet and aromatic. Love to hear any of your recommendations. Thanks x

Well, that old brick wall called FEAR has me stopping again. I have always been... well in the closet... or the house as is my case. My TG issues have always (with one exception a few years back) a private world just for me. After reading the forums here and seeing all you gals venturing forth with your lives, I started thinking about breaking out of my protective shell a bit. Here in the middle of the Bible Belt of the Country in a state called IOWA, there is few if any TG resources. Anyway, I have recently discovered that a threapist in TG related issues has a practice locally. I even sent an inquiry email to confirm this. So here I am looking at a phone numb…

Hello Everyone, As I stand here, trying to get out of the closet, trying to figure out how to tell my family and friends who I really am, to finally come into the light, it has occurred to me that, among other things, what seems to be holding me back is the fear of being alone. Some of this is the fear of leaving the relationships that I have and not finding new ones. Some of this is the fear of being shunned by people I know, people who think they know me. It almost feels like I have to leave my life to find a new one. While I think these feelings certainly have some basis in reality- I will in all likelihood lose people I love - I also believe some of this is o…

:) I am finally free to feel these special feelings I have had all my life. All my life I have had I guess one could say a very different set of emotions a man usually has. I'm not gay. I believe the kinda of attraction I have emotionally, psychologically, and physically is to the kind of love I think only a TS woman can give. Along time ago I saw a movie about a young soldier whom walked into this restaurant, and the kind of attraction that occurred between him and the TS girl was like love at first sight; It had all the special chemistry one would hope for in a first meeting. Anyway , they fell in love , and even after he found out she was not a quote " woman " physiol…

People have always questioned my sexuality, but I thought they were crazy because I have always been attracted to females. I am now coming to the conclusion that inside I feel like a woman inside. However, is it normal to feel like a woman and still be attracted to women? If so does that make me a lesbian? I think that it is odd but it all makes sense at the same time. I have always enjoyed lesbian love stories and had felt very connected to the characters. Is it even possible to be and transgendered female and have a lesbian relationship? I hope this isn't a stupid topic. :blink:

I present to you........ Lotion Skin and touch I remember me short shorts and tight blouse glowing skin and soft Sensuality The days, work so long The nights, can be good They can be very bad I caress myself I forget the days I want to be me I desire the strong I want to be love I long to be held I want want and sigh

I know, not a common complaint, huh? Yesterday I was out with friends (equinox and all) and spent most of the time hanging out with the ladies in the group.. had lots of fun. We met up with an old friend we thought we'd lost by way of a jerk husband, and she had left him and was doing well. On the way home we were talking about boyfriends, girlfriends, and sundries with one girl we were taking home, and she said... I decided I didn't want to be a lesbian because I just like the 'guy parts' too much. So my wife pipes up and says, well, I get the best of both worlds because mine's trans! The other girl didn't show any surprise at all, she just said ohhh yeah, I dated one…

I recently filled my gallery with the nicest pictures I could come up with for now because I was hoping it could help me feel better about myself. I always wanted to do this from little on, but I was afraid someone would find the pictures and we all know what kinds of things could happen after that. With some help from my wife I picked the ones I felt respresented how I feel on the inside the most. I personally am really excited about them but most of you probobly have no trouble seeing the physical man underneath the clothing. A life feeling so different on the inside versus what people see on the outside is sickening. I have tried to open up to close peop…

Hi and happy holidays and marry Christmas to all. I'm Tinalynn Ann(Tim)) ,, And I was wondering how many you all have ever had spend Christmas home alone?? like for me recently I played all my gender for all to see including my family to which their response to me making what they basically knew alone official. was to let I be known no if an or buts,,,that is choose to continue along this path that I would not be welcome to protake in any family gatherings-events. such a s thanksgiving and Christmas and summer vacations.

Last month, it was gel nail color (which is still a beautiful metallic blue). Today, it was nail threading my ugly male brows into pretty, feminine a arches. I haven't left the apartment in mens face and gear in well over a month; the two big boxes of "Christopher" stuff is readied for the Goodwill bin. On Tuesday, I go to Walter Reed Army Hospital to see an endocrinologist. I feel so good, so pretty, and so feminine! ---Christine

Hi Iv been feeling a bit strang for the last few days. I seam to have lost all interest in any thing I feel quite happy about my self, I just have no interest in any thing else all I want to do is sleep and watch television. Just wondering if this has happend to any one else or is it just me. I will be discussing this with my doctor at my next appointment just thought I'd see if any one else has felt like this at eany point Emma

Hey everyone. So I don't know who else get's this feeling. I'm a part of a support chat room...thing and I get mixed reactions. Of course there's that one head strong woman who "Understands" but makes you feel like disappearing every time she's there. ANYWAY. Yesterday at work, I was feeling extremely inadequate next to the people I work with, why? Because their all cisgender. All I could think was that I wish that I was born like them. Personality wise, yeah i may be like every other 19 year old, but here's this one "Trait" of mine that isn't. Every time I'm in a classroom full of people or with friends I'm automatically clouded with absolute depression beca…

I have always dreamed of having breasts,not Pam Anderson types,but a simple little b cup on a 32".More than enough for me,to complete my femme image.I have even looked at the girls on "sites" that featured small breasted women,and felt a certain amount of envy.I looked into the possibilities of aquiring these precious assets,and discovered that by taking a combination of hormone drugs,I could achieve my goal.Bonus!.....my hips would expand as I would transfer fat from my belly to them.I could achieve a girly figure(at last!)...and ...have breasts! Upon further investigation,I found that these effects are irrevesible..that didn't bother me a bit...that's what I wanted....…

Yeah... the topic name should pretty much cover it. I managed to do it yesterday, and was pretty thrilled, but I guess that its kinda worn off a bit... but I thought I should let you guys know.

Yesterday I used my male voice to answer a question to my best female friend and she physically shuttered and said never do that ever again. I've had no voice training but have developed a decent female voice that is not difficult to keep it up and have been doing this for a while now. I will say it was hard to get the male voice going yesterday which surprised me. So that brings me to a question, how many here have been working on their female voice and what success rate do you have with it?

Hi Everyone, I am kind of confuse about this subject. I read that permanent infertility is possible after 6 months of continuos use of hormones. Is that true? I mean, if someone stop using hormones at some point, everything goes back to what used to be before? I guess my question is: Is the infertility permanent as long as someone is under HRT? Thank you in advance to all! Andrea

I have been happy ever since I came out as bigender 5 years ago.For a long time,I struggled to find who I was and thought I was a crossdresser at first.Crossdressed and knew I was not this.In 2012,I started my research and knew I was happy as male still.It was finally in 2013,I finally found it and it was when looking up bigender.I knew it was this,male with a female counterpart having the urges to dress as the female counterpart.It was finally in March of 2013 I came out to my family including my wife Heather.It was at my parent's place and I told my parents I needed to come out about something and they said Ok.My mom knew I always was struggling in my life about somethi…

I do not know where to go in orange county for a new doctor

I don't want this to be a downer topic, but honestly, how likely is it a MtF will find a good man or woman after transitioning? I haven't a clue so am wondering what other's observations on this subject might indicate. From my own personal experience, within the gay community it is very hard to find a good, faithful, stable, employed, sane, loveable guy. Since the trans community is smaller I am guessing the odds are slimmer? MIWBJ

Hello! First post here, so I suppose an introduction is in order. My name is Michaela, I go by Kayla or Kay as the mood strikes me. I'm 19 years old, male-to-female, out to a few close friends and my sister. Pre-just about everything, long-since graduated high school and already a college dropout (yay!), live with my mom and sister in southern California. I was seeing a psychologist early last year, but she died a few months before I accepted my gender identity enough to actually tell anyone about it. For a number of reasons, I'd really like to start seeing a psychologist again, but I'm not quite sure how to find one who has experience with transsexuals, and I can't exact…
