General Transgender Discussion

Hello to everyone : First of all let me thank Bobbie Jo for showing this group to me . A little about myself *** I am a 62 yr young woman living in the shell of a male . I have been hiding this since I was about 9 yrs old . Wearing dresses and other Girls clothes at a young age and enjoy every moment I could be alone at home . I could never take on the macho image that people expect for someone my size 6ft 4in . Usually keeping to myself or chatting with the young girls in the Neighborhood . Always noting their hair and makeup fingernail polish . I kept all this inside me always asking myself why I was a boy. Years went by I got married a…

To start with my name is Del. I tend not to use screen names but rather my real one. In a sense I guess I believe in being honest and upfront. I do understand how others may choose a screen name being stealth or whatnot. To begin I am not transgender. I am cisgender. I am also a licensed and ordained evangelist that posts mainly in the Christianity section of Susan's Transgender Forums. In case you're wondering why a cisgender minister is here you don't have to worry. I'm no transgender chaser or out to convert or heal anyone. I merely found at Susan's that the Christian section had people that loved the Lord where in many cases I found the cisgender Christians had th…

I am sorry in Advance is this is rambled and long winded, and I thank those who took the time to read it and respond. The truth of the matter is I am lost. I am a 26 year old male who is outta shape to begin with, I have zero confidence in myself these days which I believe to be in relation to certain events of my high school days. When I was young probably around 12 years old my Dad told the family he was a CrossDresser so my exposure to this world happened fairly early in life, my Family all accepted him for it and that was pretty much it. But at the start of grade 10 we moved Cities and I had to leave my life behind and go to a new school, and I am a shy o…

So I have loved to cross dress and all things girly all my life. I am looking for a resource of someone to chat with that I can have an adult non sleazy discussion with. I have tried my best but always end up with perverts Thanks DD

I live in Russia. I can't change my gender. Help me. I really need money (

I'm not transgendered, but I am a young lesbian who has been dating a girl for a little over a year. My girlfriend recently confessed to me that she feels more like a boy trapped in a girl's body. She said she doesn't necessarily want surgery, since she wouldn't have a 'functional' penis, in her words. She wishes very much that she was born a boy, but doesn't really believe that she could become one. I always had a feeling that she felt like she was actually male, well before we started talking about it, but I still have some conflicting feelings. It isn't that I'm having trouble accepting transgender people. I always try to be open minded towards all identities, and …

So I am not looking to discriminate against anyone. If anything I want to be a help. The obstacle that I face is not understanding people that question if they are trans or not. Or people, later in life, questioning their gender. I know for myself it is because I am an old fart. And for myself, it is because I have known since I was 4 years old. I do believe there is a generational gap in what it means to be trans today vs. 10 - 20 - years ago. I know I was 43 years old before I even knew that I could transition. That such a thing existed. And I jumped on it. And have no regrets. So, I'm not sure if my not understanding is because trans issues have become more…

So I'm out to friends and family, but I would like to come out to my professors at my university. Unfortunately it's a small private school, so many professors I had last year I will have again and again until I graduate. So naturally, last year they were introduced to me as a female and I have since started my transition. I would like to send out an email to all my professors to note them of the changes I have made, and to ask them to please refer to me with male pronouns and my chosen male name from now on. However, I feel that this is going to be a VERY awkward experience. I'm not afraid of discrimination, I'm just afraid to write the stupid email. lol So I just wan…

Help! My son is in need of some talk therapy from a child psychologist that deals with gender confusion. He is 11 years old and acts very "girly". He was born with a small penis and his mother and father (I am his stepmother)thought the entire pregnancy that he was female. They could not see a penis on ultrasound. I have only been married to his father for a short while, but in the two years I have known this child he has been asking questions about his gender. I am a nurse and feel it is our responsibilty to get him any help he needs in order to grow up as "normal" as possible. Kids make fun of him, and he feels bad about himself. I have an appointment with an adolecent …

This is partially a question for GirlInside because I imagine this is all made much harder by an active decision not to transition. I'd be interested to hear what anyone has to say though. Ok, so you've told your friends and people close to you that you're trans. No one's blown up at you, everyone's been very supportive, given you the pat on the back for your self-discovery and being courageous enough to talk about it. (Well, that's been my experience so far.. haven't hit my family yet ) Now what? Here's what the effect has been on my relationships with everyone: people are a little weird talking about some topics now because they're afraid they'll offend me. …

Hi Everyone, Has anyone used any over the counter herbal hormones? Do you think they are worth? Andrea MB

Hi All New to the forum. I realize true hrt is best for mtf transition, but have a couple health issues, which is why I'm trying herbs. I know changes won't be as dramatic. I am currently trying Red Clover extract, and White Peony extract. Only been on both for a little over month. I have been on ground flaxseed the longest...over a year now. I'm confused about flaxseed. Is it an anti-androgen or an estrogen helper? I read in studies it has the highest, 800 times, more phytoestrogens than any other phytoestrogen. But also read it helps eliminate estrogen in body?? So, is it helping to feminize or not? I would like to try getting more curvier in hips …

Just a discussion on the "inheritability" of the transgender condition. I'm kind of interested because I have an aunt that is a lesbian, and I'm guessing that there could be genetic traits that can be inherited which would allow for someones child to be born G. L. B. or T. Discuss?

Hey hey I am now an advanced member. Is that the coolest ever, sly. Way cool

Hi, I am very apprehensive. I have just sent an email to my mother telling her I am gay. Now I am hiding in the corner waiting for the backlash. I think my Mom is cool this way, but I cannot be sure until she responds, I hope this goes well.

I haven't been around much but thought I'd just say Hi. It's been a long cold lonely Winter. But spring is here again, So I will probably be too busy to bother much with anything. I am thankful for the friends that stayed in touch and helped get me through the depression of winter and look forward to hangin' with them in the future. I've made some new friends as well. I hope life is going good for everyone here and wish you all the best

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've been really busy with school for a long time, and now I'm leaving to find a job--hopefully there's good work out there for someone with a Master's in math. I'm looking into becoming an actuary or a government mathematician. Now that I have time to post things here, I thought I'd tell you all how things have been going, for those members who remember me. I started a thread some time ago, about baby hunger and how awful it is for us to be unable to have babies. Like some of the people who responded to that thread, I solved that problem by finding the right species of pet for me. Last September, I adopted two female guinea pigs, and since then, we have added t…

Hi everyone. just thought I would introduce myself. I'm 23 year old male - Female. I came out yesturday to a friend of mine who is the one who told me about this site. so I hope to get to know everyone here :-) Sorry for the short description, i'm not very good at talking about myself lol

My name is Stella and I'm new to this forum. I just wanted to say hello:-) I'm 33, live in Denton, TX and have had feelings of being a female since I was 6. I've been dressing as a girl behind closed doors for 27 years! I love everything about being a girl:-) I'm now finally coming to terms that I'm transsexual. My story is similar to some of the other members in here. I married at 19 thinking I would put this side of me behind. Of course that didn't happen!!! I informed my wife of my female side a year into our marriage and it's been a sore spot ever since. She's been trying to accept it ever since and I'm very grateful for that;-) I attended therapy…

Hi! Everybody, Though you see me comment from time to time and I haven't done much of that lately,I am here everyday seeing how everyone is doing..Although I have sent a few private messages. I figured I'd just let you know what's been going on with me.I'm still at the same place I've been since I joined this wonderful internet community.First I'd like to say I hope everyone who lives down south is safe and ok.You've been through alot down there lately. 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.…

Things are going ok and without going into details I have had some of my past comeback on me but even so things are going ok.When things like that come up it can be fustrating but all anyone can do is deal with it and move on.I hope to be around more besides posting in that blog.I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi everyone my girl name is Amy and I'm 19, from Northern Ireland (or Ireland to people outside the UK) I used to crossdress a long time ago, might have been when I was 14 or something! But some things changed round the house and now I don't want to risk doing it anymore I wont make this a dramatic thing - I'm in a wheelchair and live an almost fully independant life, I live with my parents (at the minute) and that is why I don't currently dress girly. I don't want to transistion I'm happy with who I am though I get pretty into my crossdressing hehe anyway that's my intro of saying 'Hi' wb Amy
