General Transgender Discussion

I've been outside into the great unknown.... See normally i don't have the guts to venture out in the car when i put women's clothes on.... But last friday i had some problems with my car and eventually it started so i had to go for a drive, i couldn't just put it back where it goes because that would've been worse for it. So, here are some of the photos i took on friday night from my phone, and one from the camera before i went out

I just wanted to wish everyone here a Happy Christmas and a successful new year :-)

Hi everyone. It has been a long time since I have posted here. As of tuesday my legal name change has been printed in a newpaper. I was almost moved to tears. Now I await my affidavit so that I may change my social security, I.D and all other documents. Also I am in grooming academy to become a petstylis. Everything is going well and I love how things are going. I have been full time since January, my name change is almost complete and I am embarking upon my first career. I feel so lucky and accomplished. Thank you all for listening. -Nikki

I am on cloud nine right now. Yesterday I went into town to finally get my license and social security change (the name on it, not the number). It was so simple with no problems what so ever. The DMV would be my first pit stop. In total I was there maybe for ten minutes. There was no confusion on their part as to what I was doing. All I did was show them my court order and the rest was pie. My temporary license is in my possession. The actual card will take a couple of weeks to come in the mail. After that mission was complete my next stop would be social security. The social security office was just a block away. I enter the building and find a room of people sitting …

One of my hobbies is geofiction, the art of constructing imaginary countries. I followed the example of the many imaginary countries out there on the Web (such as Virtual Verduria, Itlani, and Kaupelan) and made my own imaginary country. It's of interest to people here because in my imaginary country, a transgendered person can be accepted as their gender of choice simply by presentation, i.e. without physically transitioning. Here it is: Kingdom of Daruny So, what do you all think?

I have noticed an uneasy trend among the transgender community. I am not saying it is everwhere and it is with every transgender person but it is something that I have been seeing more of and that is the "over bearing of our rights and ideals" against people who do not deserve to be attacked. I am an activist and I volunteer with many humanitarian not for profits to push equality for all LGBT people. With that said, there is a right way of going about doing this and there is a wrong way. Thw wrong way is to send angry letters to everyone "you heard" have been unfair to us. Please, before sending out angry letter or emails to someone you "heard about" on the internet…

Kasandra Brabaw | Aug 10, 2017 1:45 PM "The question was asked Wednesday, and already has more than 5,000 comments at the time of writing. The replies have sparked discussion among both the transgender and cisgender community, and opened eyes to how important it is for kids to have the language and space to explore their gender identity that many of these people weren't afforded." -- refinery29.com 7 People Talk About The First Time They Knew They're Transgender Some content/language may not be suitable for all readers.

It was the beginning of a Monday morning sometime around 12am, so the sky was still dark. Anyway, I had a throbbing tooth ache that didn't allow to rest. So I got dress and prepared to go to the hospital's emergency room, to give me pain meds. During the registration process, I wrote down on the forums using my biological since I didn't get my name changed legally just yet, and next to the name I wrote my female name that I wanted to be called by as "Rhonda". The treating nurse called me out by my biological name, which caused a lot of heads to turn around wondering why my gender expression MTF didn't match using male pronouns? I was hoping to avoid being starred, anyway …

Ok, I have a question...I want to start HRT (and yes correctly, under care). I am 41, 5'10", 185 and workout daily. I have a very defined body and am wondering what effect hormones will have on me? If I am taking them but continue working out, how much will I hurt my breast growth, if any? As is I have a small B cup just from having a developed chest. Anyone have some thoughts on this?????? I appreciate any and all comments.

My ex wife and I starting to talk again.I saw a look on her face when I picked our 13 year old daughter Nicole up on Friday.Have joint custody and get her on weekends.Walked in and decided to apologize to me for how she reacted badly at first,I forgave her.Said she was not ready to cope with the next step I was going to go through and is now.Sees I am more much happier now.Plus she felt terrible for what she did to me and has decided to support me finally.Coming to terms was hard for her at first and she understands finally.We have one person to thank,our 13 year old daughter saying don't hold a grudge against each other.It is looking better now and my ex wife is starting…

I have a background in Genetics. When someone presents as TG at a Gender Identity clinic a blood sample is sent to the nearest Genetics lab to do a karyotype. As far as I am aware our lab has never diagnosed an intersex person through this referral route. Most are picked up by endocrinologists, paediatricians and fertility clinics. Intersex conditions are not very common. Yet reading through the various boards it appears a number of TG contributors legitimise their being transgendered by applying the term intersex to describe themselves. But they offer no evidence this was ever clinically diagnosed. It worries me. It does a disservice to those genuinely suffering from…

The anime is called Kashimashi. I have seen the entire 12 episodes and I loved it. Go check it out on youtube.

just sent my oldest son a letter on his facebook inbox of me coming out to him. im so scared because for the last 15 years of his life i was shoved out of his life by his grandfolks because they didnt like me dating their daughter back then. and now i feel like what i done has become selfish of me and my transgender life is a curse. im almost crying right now and im so hurt cause now i may never be able to speak to him again as he probably will hate me for being suck a freak. sometime i wonder if being transgender is really worth it cause now im losing the one thing in my life ive been trying to get back in my life. his mother knows of me being trans and is nothing but su…

I have been in the same location to long now and plan to leave hopefully sometime before winter sets in.I have relied on the kindness of my folks long enough plus at my age I shouldn't be here in the first place anyway.…

Can I be depressed now ???

I am a successful business man dying to let the woman I am come out. I have known since I was 10 I was a woman trapped in a mans body. I finally have the courage to begin the process, but am affraid to actually let her come out. I know it will cost me my relationships and job. I don't see how I can survive the process. I need to let the woman in me be free and take me to the next level. Anyu words of wisdom from the world?

This is a very interesting story... 5,000-year-old ‘transgender’ skeleton discovered "Archaeologists have discovered a 5,000-year-old skeleton which they believe may be the remains of a transgender person..." http://www.pinknews....ton-discovered/

For the >5 decades of my life before I came to an understanding that I'm transgender and that's okay I assumed that any small steps toward transition would be a slippery slope for me down Alice's rabbit hole. I was scared that I would find the euphoria impossible to resist, that transitioning would be like a rampant opioid addiction. I thus kicked the can down the road for many years while fighting depression and general mental malaise. I started transitioning two years ago with coming out to a small group of family and friends. Through 2017 I took more small steps with much reluctance and trepidation: buying more clothing, getting my ears pierced, starting work …

Walking While Trans: An immersive look into the transgender experience. ​​ https://mic.com/articles/186998/walking-while-trans#.01WYLiU6F

I thought I would just post my profile as a hello. I am a customer service representative and have been for the last 4 years. I am very good at my job. I am friendly. I am kind and considerate. I am not as loving and nurturing as I would like, but this is improving. I have suffered from gender dystopia for over 12 years. I have never been able to afford to do much about it. I have reached a point in my finances where addressing this is becoming a possibility, although actual SRS could still be quite a long ways off. In some ways I am new to the transition thing and in some ways I have been at it a long time. I have never full timed and do not intend on doing so soon. T…

I am going to the cosmetic surgeon monday at 2:30 to get Juvederm injections in my upper lip. It lasts 4 to 6 months and promises to give me a kissable pouty mouth. I'm in my fabulous 40's and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend the next 50 years of my life with no upper lip. If I have a 'trout pout' you will see one angry freemouse monday evening. I am nervous and praying that I dont turn out like the cat lady, see below. This aint me, it's catlady.

I am new to the forum, can anybody help me with the recommended dosage of fenugreek and saw palmetto tablets for good breast development. I am 6 foot 220 pounds. I have heard good results from others but not how much to take and how often.

Being unemployed, I sought medical care this month from the Veterans Administration. My intake involved a standard physical, the doctor checked and wrote scripts for the meds I've run out of. It's surprised me that some of them have already arrived in the mail and have refills for a full year! I asked about GID medical treatment. Unfortunately they do not do HRT much less SRS. However, they will support me while I take HRT from a private doctor with blood work, etc. However, they are aware of the Transgendered American Veterans Association and gave their card. (website -- www.tavausa.org) Because I am a depressive, they also got me a walk-in with the social work…
