General Transgender Discussion

Trying again to say hello. Hope everyone is well. Again I've never been on any forum before and hope to make some good friends on here. I'm pretty easy-going and quiet. I don't consider myself a great writer or a great mind and I think my original message was taken a little out of context. I very much find Pre-op TG's very attractive but also completely love girls too. I live in Leeds in the UK and I'm off out with a friend tonight to see the Ladyboys of Bangkok. Have no idea what to expect. I'll speak more about myself as I get more confident on here....!!! Andy x

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.

Hi, I'm new around here. Couldn't get the registration to work today so I've decided to work with a guest name for now. What I've seen around the TG community is that the majority are male to female, with intent to date other men (single, gay, TG, or whatever)... but I was wondering, is there anyone like me that feels like they're a woman on the inside (definitely not on the outside) that is only interested in straight or lesbian women? I haven't seen or heard of many people like that, and if so... it makes me wonder if there are any women that would take someone like me. Just curious and a little muddled. :P

"Its odd that bi-sexuality often seems to be shunned by the gay community for example last year I was as [sic] a Pride in Chelmsford and in the entertainments tent I heard at least three of the entertainers refer to bi-sexuals as 'greedy'. I was quite hurt." - Caroline (from the thread "Advice Please" by Melanie) i did not want to derail melanie's thread "Advice Please," so i brought Caroline's comment here to begin a new discussion. GLBT. or, LGBT. seems the first two initials are interchangable depending on whether the speaker is male or female. The last two initials seem always to be in the same place...and as usual, the "T" is usually last tho it has become popula…

I am looking for a doctor that is TG friendly in CT. Thanks

HRT starting this week....Hope I don't have any issues.......will keep you posted... Love and hugs.....Pink.........Maybe I should change it to Caroline.......that is the name I will go with going forward...... Caroline.....the pink Koala

Was just thinking about this today. When I was living as the female bodied person I was born, I lived for many years, in and out of the psych ward for suicide attempts. Always having friends and family that were there. Years ago, I started my transition, knowing that for me, it was a matter of life or death. Today, I write, having transitioned to the point where everyone sees me as a man and all my gender markers have been changed. In the process, I lost the friends and family. I am greatful that I can now live my life as me, but I just have a hard time dealing with all the loss. I am at a place where, if I can find the courage, I can restart my life. A place wher…

Hey guys, My name is Natalie, I'm 20 years old, a student for Management Information Systems and Cyber Crime Investigation with a Web Presence emphasis. I'm gender variant and currently going through some pretty hard times with accepting who I am, but it's up and down. I have an awesome boyfriend(ish), and we are working through different sexuality and gender identity issues together and our relationship is (thankfully) strengthening because of it. I'm not really "out" quite yet, only a few people know that I'm gender variant and not a tom boy, but I'm working on it. Gotta accept myself before I expect others to, right? Well anyway, that's a short bit about myself, …

This is my first comment on this site. I hope it may be of interest. I live in a Latin American country so dressing fully feminine is hard to portray most of the time. Still I can wear nail polish on my toes and fingers most of the time. You just have to pick your colors carefully and call it rock and roll. On the street being addressed many times as him or her.I enjoy all of the roles. With the help of a marvelous partner I am able to be comfortable in my own skin. Whether it be perfumed, or sweaty from working the farm. Many Trans Gender persons feel to be validated they must go all the way through full reassignment rather than finding their own comfort zone. Hiding t…

Quite often, we "older ones," and those who've been down the transition road will advise people looking to begin their journey, or just questioning their gender, that they should seek out therapists experienced in gender identity, GID, and TG/TS issues. While this is very good advice, perhaps hearing it (reading it) from a therapist will drive the point home. I happened to run across a piece written by one, in which he wrote... Many of my clients both online and off have referred to me as a "friend" at some point in our work together. I cannot think of a better compliment. However, though I am a good guy and a good therapist, you certainly would not want to ask me fo…

I’m typing away here right now when I really should be working ... anyways; I’m here because I was curious about a particular thread that seems to have been removed. It was one which was filled with anger and hurt. These are emotions which all of us (I’m looking at it from the male to female perspective) here are familiar with. We all come here to look for a sort of Kinship or pointers on where and what to do next. It’s nice to feel “we’re not alone”. It’s hard however to embrace all that grace these digital pages ... when someone barrels in with "pistols blazin'" it’s not necessarily easy to open arms to hotheadedness. But behind all that anger there is usually an equall…

:) 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…

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

I have had a few crying jags of late. Last week, it was about a female coworker with a sore on her arm. This week, I'm not really suret what it was over. It just kind'a happened. I am not really concerned. I just wanted to say this is happening to me. Sometimes, I feel really good about it afterwards. This is the worst Haiku ever. I see something bad, I take it to me I cry, I shed tears My tears, they do good At least, I hope so I see something good I take it to me I cry, I shed tears My tears, they do good I like to think so I cry, the wind blows I take it to me I cry, I shed tears My tears, they do good I know not where, how

Warning....Some of this is pretty honest Your only doing this beause........... You hate the male lifestyle.......Honey, you are right.............I do hate the male lifestyle..........I hate beer, NASCAR, sports, being macho and........the list is a lot longer......I have never identified with any of it. You hate girls........Honey, you are so right.........girls are self centered little .......wait .......Now I am downing myself.......This is actually a pretty complex subject..........I do not wan't to be your hero.....I do not wan't to cater to your ego....I do not wan't to have sex with you, I do not enjoy it...so sorry. You are just doing it for the exc…

Ok..........I just came out to my first person ever.......I don't mean I'm gay (that too) but I mean the whole CD TG thing. No one shot me or beat me or made me write bad checks............That last part was a joke. I told my roommate. I came into the room with my short denims and shaved legs and said........ By the way........she is an ex lover. Obviously, after her response, she is still a friend. It went very well. We had a very long conversation afterwords......about a lot of things....not just me coming out. I want to laugh and cry and sob. I am relieved. Now I don't have to try and hide this when I live in the same house with someone. In f…

I live with an old girl friend. We are not the least bit romantic at this point, but we are good friends. She rents a couple of rooms in my home. She wants to babysit for extra cash. She got some replies pretty quickly off of craig's list and invited the people over. We live in the mid west. She thinks it would be totally unacceptable to introduce me as her landlord (because we live in the same house) and people would not be accepting of this.. So, she introduces me as her fiance. This is not something new. She has done this several times when she thought it would suit appearances. I have told her that honesty is the best policy, but she refuses to listen. …

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 …

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 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…

The boys at work make me feel wrong. I have been friends with some of them for quite some time. Everytime I get into a conversation with them, my voice drops two octaves and I start feeling terrible. It takes forever to regain my composure after this. I think I will arrange to sit somewhere else.....with someone new.

Change can be a good thing … I have read a lot of posts by others describing why they can’t move forward and validating their decisions accordingly. It is hard to make changes in one’s life, seems the longer we wait the more compound our reasons for remaining static become. Now my point is not to push people or so much to say this is wrong … I took my time with making the changes necessary to begin transition. I have mentioned in other posts that I am a tattoo artist, my own tattoos have personal meaning and many are linked to transition and trying to accept myself (in the beginning). I have many Nautical Stars (a dozen in various places) as they are for guidance … to hel…

Hello. I honestly don't know if this is the place to post this, but seeing as how there was a much more aggressive thread (with the religous guy) some time ago, I hope it wont be a problem. If it is, then buggers, I'm out of luck. I am a straight cis male, hailing from the notorious 4chan, the "Internet's butthole", as some of you may know it. But I don't bring trouble, I am just curious about your opinions on something. The thing that you should know about me which is also relevant here is that I adore women, all women - transgendered women included. Unfortunately, I am also plagued with numerous fetishes and an extremely high sex drive. Depending on your definitio…

Is it just me or is 90% of the chatroom on this website full of fakes? Last week I decided to log onto the chat site and see if i can expand the number of friends I have. I currently belong to another site and we hang out in real life and just have a good time. So I figured it would be kinda the same here. WOW was I WRONG. I developed a really refine sense of trandar since coming out. I know this sounds shallow but I can spot a fake when someone is chatting with me in no time. It's the way they handle themselves in chat and the things they say that keeps me guarded. Then they will PM me. I dont mind PMs but the fake ones always talk about how their "sexy cloth…

It has been some time since I have visited or posted anything so I thought I would stop by and post an update . Where to begin ... it has been 10 months since I have gone full time , my name is changed , my gender changed . I have suffered no loss's save for one who after 9 years I thought was a friend .

The biggest changes , the best changes ... my three children who I thought for years were lost to me have come back one at a time into my life , we were estranged for the last 15 years . The first was my oldes…
