General Transgender Discussion

On Monday I attended my first real-life Transgender meeting in Appleton Wisconsin. TG guide prepared me well, for I spent most of the meeting listening to others. Then I asked one question and about ten people were suddenely eager to answer me directly. I felt comfortable in the group and I plan on going there every month. I strongly encourage anyone who has not had a real life experience like this to find a local group in your area. What is really helpful is to hear everyone's voices and see their mannerisms. The overall feeling is similar to watching some of the videos on you tube but even better. I am much more confident about myself after seeing how com…

Hi All, Does any one can refer a good laser hair reduction center here in Los Angeles area? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you! Andrea

While I use the phrase "a woman in a man's body" for myself, I find that, in reality, this is not entirely accurate, because I feel more like a middle-school-age girl (that's about 12-14, for those of you who live in other countries) in an adult male body. I have heard of others like us who feel this way; they blame it on never having gone through a proper puberty. Does anyone else here feel as I do? If this is a common thing (as I suspect it may be), does anyone have any info on the phenomenon?

Hi all. Putting this out there in case it might help someone else. I am in the process of making a gameboard. At the top of the board are my ultimate goals. They deal with health, relationships, spirituality, career....etc. I have then come up with the steps I need to take to reach each goal. the gameboard will have movable game pieces (probably velcro) that I can advance forward as I complete each step, or move backwards if I need to find an alternative route to the top. I am very visually motivated, so feel like this will be a big help for me. I am also setting up small rewards along the way. This will also help me in seeing the areas I am strong in, and the a…

Earlier i , did job applications No big deal Right? (i at least did close 30 all with annoyed frown painted along my face.) But i noticed some thing only a transsexual would see as a appealing blessing .EEO ( Equal Employment opportunity) For those who don't know (or just don't live in America ) it allows the option not to disclose your gender identify or race if it bothers you. For most of them of I chose not identify (because intend to save up money for surgery with what ever job thats in my future). Except for one of the applications i intentionally did twice with the same name, same resume except one i choose not identify, and other i put as male (Both ha…

Hi! girls. i'm a 50ish t-girl from around atlanta. this is my first time posting and i'm so happy to have found yall. after all these years i have given up on dening what i am and i am ready to reach out to the T community to hopfully find friends and support. i've been in theropy for a year or so and have started the process of coming out. i dress to go to my theropist now and let me tell you that is one of the most wonderful feeling i think i have ever had. i hope with support i can get comfortable going any where i wish. i very very much want to take my transition all the way but who knows what life will bring. for now i'm just concentrating on being the woman i know…

I was just going to PM Daniele (Green Acres Gal). But, then I thought maybe others would get a kick out of this one also. Alex is a rather large breeder pig who lives on a cattle ranch where I've been allowed to visit the horses. He is considered somewhat of a pet there. A ranch hand, who got a kick out of watching Alex chase me around informed me: Alex seems to think he's a dog. He even goes out on small cattle drives when it is time to rotate the herd. He does his job just as well as the dogs and the dogs have accepted him. Maybe in the summer I'll get to go and see Alex in action. Alex is actually very friendly. He just wants a few scratches behind the ears and s…

Hi all. I have been in transition for 7 years, and now I am facing having to stop it all. I thought by now, I would have been able to get my hysterectomy surgery, but have never been able to come up with the money. And I am facing the consequences. Not sure how to explain it, but my body is in constant battle. The female hormones...the male hormones...the change of life crap that happens....I am dealing with the worst of the worst. And I am thinking, maybe it's just time to give up on my dream. I am a true transsexual. I knew I was male since I was 4 years old. But, I need to be realistic. There is no way I can ever afford my surgery. Been fighting...trying to …

Hi! Everyone, Over the weekend I decided to try my hand at blogging.My first entry is quite long.Their letters I wrote along time ago and sent over the web back when I first wrote them. I should have separated them into several entries but I didn't and I hope to get better at it as I go along. Dee

Three nights ago i stopped peeing (well, peed only blood) and i went to the hospital. OMG everything hurts so bad. I had a cath put it me. I still pee blood and no kidney stones yet. Not having a good week :(

Hello and happy holidays everyone! It has been a while since I last posted , so I thought I would post some pics of my progress and update on my status.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and will have a wonderful new year! Much love! Lauren

Hi, I found this forum after browsing Twitter and followed the Transgendered Guide, just seeking more information at the moment.

Hi all. I have been working with a state rep in changing DMV rulings regarding changing one's gender marker on a drivers license. One thing this state rep asked me to find out is....how many NH trans people does the current policy, that requires complete surgery, a hardship? Seems like all the NH support groups that I knew in the past, have vanished. So, I am asking here. And, if there are NH trans people here, that have other contacts, info on support groups, please ask them. I don't need names...I just need numbers. Thank you for any and all info.

I have spent the last year truly pondering my GID and what it means to me. I have had many dreams through the years and some opportunities have just simply past. The early fanatasies of turning into a little girl can never be. Having a little girl body, wearing pretty girl things, slumber parties, and roller skating and ice skating, just aren't going to happen. Having everyone see me as pretty in pink and being adored at parties, is one for that early age. The young sweet face that draws all the young men to dream and desire me is a thing of the past. Being a Cheerleader and Prom Queen just aren't going to be there either. Being a teenage girl has past, as well as …

Hey everyone. I am currently making adjustments to move from New York to North Carolina. My issue is that I have been on hormones for three months. I get them through a health clinic called Callen Lorde. They check my blood and everything. I know that in other states you have to go through all this therapy nonsense to get a prescription for hormones. Am I going to have a problem in North Carolina with getting hormones? Are there any LGBT friendly clinics that assist smoothly with hormone prescriptions? Transition is so very important for me. I cannot get held up by some therapist's approval.

Hi! I'm new here, and I've recently been searching the internet high and low for information on Female to Male Transitioning for my love. My love, R, has been my girlfriend for about 2 years now. I love her so much, and sense we have an honest relationship, R has just told me that she feels like she's in the wrong body. (sorry if I'm messing up pronouns) Truth be told, she is my first relationship at all, and so coming to terms with liking the same gender proved a difficult task, but only in the way that telling my parents was a nightmare. Now it's R's turn to tell her parents, not just about being in love with me, a girl, but about wanting to transition into a male. The …

Does anyone have experience with having a little relief from transgender feelings by dressing another woman, Girlfriend, Spouse, Daughter. I originally thought that I might be cured when I got married because I could shop with my wife and enjoy seeing great looking clothes on her. Unfortunately my idea didn't last long because as soon as I had a chance I wanted to borrow my wifes clothes. This was a big problem because at the time she had lost a lot of weight and it was almost impossible to fit into her size. I also noticed how much prettier the smaller shoes were. So for a time a felt better about myself because I was reaching out to my wife, but then I felt like…

I was invited to the forum and asked to introduce myself. I am truly hoping that I am posting this in the right area! I just wanted to say hello and hope to learn more from everyone and share what experience I have so far. Take care!

Hello everyone, I realize this isn't a novel topic and plenty has been written about it from a number of perspectives. I thought it wouldn't hurt to add one more. Let me begin by saying that I'm a 43-year-old heterosexual male. I'm not dealing with any gender identity issues. I'm not secretly gay or bisexual. I am attracted to women and I am attracted to women who have a penis (although I'm not interested in having a penis inside me). I consider myself to be a normal, healthy person. I'm well educated, mannered, attractive and have had a number of serious, long-term relationships including a 15-year marriage and other meaningful relationships. I was inspire…

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

So, I shoot a letter off to Some Company to inquire about some parts. I wrote a letter for a few reasons: ....1. I no longer like talking to anyone on the phone - just knowing that I will be "ma'amed" to death can sometimes bring on mild panic attacks. So I only do phone when I have to ....2. I could find no email address for Some Company ....3. I could have filled out one of those "email forms" on Some Company's website, but the page was not secure. Additionally, while they didn't require me to choose a title, they did require a phone number on this [unsecure] web form. Since I felt I was forced to use snail mail, as usual, I used only my initials and last name... …
