General Transgender Discussion

OK, anyone following me on "Faceless Book has seen my struggles in changing my records well past the Easily obtained Court recorded name change I received in September from Chesterfield County Virginia . The FUN began when it was time to get my driver's license changed . I swear , Virginia operates under two sets of laws . They have one of course who recognize relatives of elected or past elected officials . Then they have the "OTHER SET " . Yeah this one is for people like myself who are KNOWN Rabble rousers and Hippies . This is where I come in . It's a KNOWN Fact I was a protester during the Viet Nam era in Washington DC and yes , I knew , not that I was friends , but…

Hello all, I know that a lot of you probably don't know me. I had originally joined last summer, and was slowly coming out of my shell, but earlier this year I withdrew into myself again... I stopped visiting, and ended up staying away for many months. I finally started visiting again a couple of weeks ago, and have begun starting to come out of the shell again. It's not easy for me; even something as simple as commenting on a blog post or something takes a force of will. But I have been working at opening up. Now I am actually going to attempt to post something about myself. The last time I had been around, I believe I was working through how to come out to my…

Interesting research found in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/23/opinion/sunday/richard-a-friedman-how-changeable-is-gender.html?ref=opinion&_r=0 Obtained the article via WPATH Standard of Care on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/WPATH/?fref=nf

I came out 3 weeks ago as bigender.As a crossdresser,knew I had feelings I had desires to dress as female starting at the age of 20.Things went well,my twin sister read my mind knowing I was not just a crossdresser.She is supportive and doing great with the changes.Rest of my family,did take it well and been great with the changes.My wife Chloe,I was amazed she took it well and says she has a much happier husband now.I live and dress as female now living a better life.I am seeing a therapist and the sessions are going well.Now I sleep well knowing this is over and have support.

I'm really lost and I thought some of the men and those who were saddled with a female upbringing much to their distress might be able to help me understand. There's a lot of pronoun switching when I'm describing the man I care so much about but it's not meant to be disrespectful it's just how messed up I am. I have a very good friend and i asked "her" out 3 years ago and zie was the only person out of 3 people I asked out to really respect dating in earnest. Something was missing but even after he broke it off we still hung out every friday most days with "her" staying over on the loveseat. I didn't really have feelings for them but my sister was convinced I was in lo…

I stated crossdressing when I was 15. It was my escape and safety net from an abusive brother. I started off wearing pantyhose and tights under my clothes. Over time, I started wearing women panties full time. I even bought high high shoes and knee high boots to walk around in. As time went on, I slowly started buying women clothes, makeup, and couple wigs. I even thought about becoming a transgender woman. My psychologist wanted me to prefect my crossdressing skills first. For me to learn dress up where I can truly pass as a women. Even though I been slowly taking baby steps for crossdressing over the years. I'm still new to becoming a full crossdress women. I will app…

I have been researching foods to help enhance breast tissue, and some say it helps, others , not so much.. I already have a significant mass there from weightlifting when young, and at 54 years young now.. I am not very interested in hormones, but believe strongly in.. "we are what we eat"... I have been incorporating some of these items listed on this website I included below, and I think I have seen a little bit of development. Maybe it is just wishful thinking, I don't know. I just wanted to get feedback from others here. What they have done, what the results were, and what works the best. Thanks. http://malebreastenlargement101.com/male-breast-enlargement-herbs/

Okay so I am familiar with this and have done my homework on the subject, however since my breast started "budding" I haven't used a vacuum device. I was considering using it again the other day. But couldn't find any information on using this sort of device while breast are developing. From my understanding the two main benefits are it increases blood flow and engorges the tissue stretching it. Bolth of which should in principle only accelerate development. However since I couldn't find any information on the subject I thought it might be a good idea to ask the question. Does anyone here have any experience with this? Or any informed thoughts on the subject?

For years I have been an advocate in my state. Looking to change DMV policy in regards to gender markers. Recently working with a trans group to get Medicare to pay for surgeries for trans people. And I am thinking it might be time for me to separate myself from all this. Even though there is a trans support group in my state, it is just a ghost group. they ask for someone to fight the fight, but never give support. I just want to say, if you as trans people want an advocate, don't lay it all on one person. Do your part too. Even if it's just a word of encouragement. For my part...advocating in my state....I've done my part. And I will do no more. Not until I s…

My kids have adjusted very well since I came out as bigender 5 years ago.It was tough at first and I was amazed it took them a month to adjust.I had the talk with them on this,they were 13,11 and 9 years old at the time.They now understand now with them being 18,16 and 14 years old now seeing I am any normal dad with a female counterpart that wants out.Also learned I struggled for a long time finding who I really was and they learned something too.It was seeing who they were from the inside too,My 16 year old and 14 year old were first and it was my oldest.My oldest had interest in wearing certain female clothing as male when he was 15 and I helped him through this.He now…

Sunnivie Brydum, August 06 2012 4:00 AM ET "Olson believes that current research looking for a “gay gene” is searching in the wrong place. Rather, Olson contends, sexual orientation is determined by brain hemisphere dominance. Most men are left-brain dominant, whereas most women are right-brain dominant. Seizing on the implication that “most” necessarily excludes some people, Olson wondered what happened when brain dominance was reversed from the standard. "After reviewing a large collection of scientific literature, Olson hypothesized that when a man is right-brain dominant or a woman is left-brain dominant, that person will be gay or lesbian." -advocate.com New …

I have been sitting back and looking over the whole transgender aspect of my life and I have official gave it up for good. I have tried for many years to accomplish the goal that most of the girls are accomplishing and it can't be done. Why? Because no one cares nor wants to be there for me like they claim in the community. It is all lies and don't say it isn't because I know better than that. I have tried to make friends within the community to get help and to try to transition and all I ever get is the cold shoulder and the brush off. To the community I am less then nothing because I am poor, on SSI and don't drive so therefore no one wants to bother with me. I am so ti…

Hi everyone, my name's Claire Bailey, and I have been living as a woman for six years now, am 33, took me a long time to get the courage up to be the real me. Have often wondered why so many of us are given the wrong body, it's one of the most upsetting and hardest things to live with, I mean, being round some ones house you don't like for half an hour is a stress, but living inside a body you disgust is the hardest thing ever! Gosh, I spent 26 years waking up and saying to myself, god I wish i was a woman, and if I cant be, ill die trying It's pretty crazy when you think about it, most people don't understand, they cant, how could they? When I was five, I woke…

I came across this article and I thought it was a good read. I thought it explained just that...How to be Human. This is very frustrating and this message needs to get across to the rest of society and the discussion needs to be constant and ongoing, in it's proper terms...Human! Living authentic for almost a year now and choosing be very visible and public, I've posted it on my social media because quite frankly, I'm getting tired of correcting people, and teaching them manners.🤨 Additionally, at the end of the article, there are also links to several procedures which I would have found helpful when I began my transition. https://www.healthline.com/health/…

For example: Also: Off course he takes things too literally. Like so what about age? And how does he define sex? As for expression: & Off course the problem here is that he is looking at expression alone: Off course I wish to debunk his claim of sex being formed around what gametes are produced. Any ideas?

I haven't been as active in posting as I have in the past. Over the past few weeks I have felt in somewhat of a limbo state. I really don't know what to do or where to turn. I guess the best thing to do is wait and see what happens. I sense that there may be a major change in my life as yet I haven't figured out what it is. I went through this a few years back and here was a major shift in my life. This may be another one of those times.

Hi I am newly out in my small community well a small amount of people I want to slowly feel more like I am suppose to be.any tips on where I should start?

Is Judge Kevin Ross homophobic, transphobic or both? I recently saw an episode of America's Court (SO1E18, original air date 30 Sep 2010). One segment of the episode was entitled, "Match Maker Mistake." A plaintiff contracted with a matchmaker to try to find the woman of his dreams. He was jacked up because he claims he was matched with a "man," and was suing to get his money back despite the fact that his contract clearly stated that there were no refunds. The defendant, a matchmaker, contends that the plaintiff was matched with a woman - that for all intents and purposes, the individual the defendant chose (she was one of three women he was matched with), was…

With the Supreme court ruling in favor of gays marrying , what of we transgender people ? I'm NOT Gay. In fact men as bed partners disgust me . A couple of the females and I know one Trans man who knows me well know the deep seated reason I made that statement . I did not transition to have sex ! I have come on this hellacious journey to see myself as a mature woman with the appearance of a lady . STILL, EVERY Day, I'm "Sired " or denied my place as a lady simply over my being a Transwoman ! Where are Trans rights people ? Where are our rights to be free to live where we choose , to worship , to shop to live without fear of violence ? For DECADES , I have supported Gay th…

I've recently discovered adult ADHD or rather the correct name ADD attention deficit disorder. IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN ADD AND CROSSDRESSING? ADD explains in one sweep what I have been trying to answer all my adult life... Why can't I focus on anything, why I procrastinate , why I can't achieve the things I'm passionate about. I've heard there is a connection, so I'm curious to know... How many of us girls have ADD or symptoms (poor long term focus - distractability - zoning out of conversations - chronic "laziness") AND if you do, do you see any connection with crossdressing or even transgender ism? Josie >'.'<

I'm wondering how you all feel about trans (MtF) athletes competing in sports events who haven't started medical transition? Though I sympathize with them, unless they've been on puberty blockers or HRT, testosterone will generally give them an advantage over their natal female peers, especially in upper-body strength, as we're seeing in competitions where socially transitioned MtF youths are consistently beating their natal counterparts.

attention everyone.....i got something i got to tell you that happen to me around 5pm PST at a place called the Reno Sparks Rescue Mission here in Reno Nevada. So the last 3 days since I have been staying here at the Women's Shelter, us ladies have been going to the RSRM for breakfast and dinner. Well all was fine up until today at 5pm PST when this arse opened the door and told me right in front of the women that I was not allowed to come there to eat anymore and didnt give me a reason. You can imagine how infuriated I was. Here's is what confused me....there is two other transgender gals that have no problem going there and eating but yet i was targeted. Another thi…

I am a cis gendered straight white male. Currently, my oldest friend is working on her (I think she still uses female pronouns, that's in flux) journey. She's had a lot of turmoil on a lot of other fronts, and I don't envy her the path that brought her to today. When she told me her orientation was basically asexual, I really didn't care. It mattered not a whit, mostly because there's never really been any matter of sexuality between us, but also because I've never really understood why sexual orientation was such a big deal in the first place. Later, when she told me she was considering having her breasts removed, in large part I was happy for her, as they get in her way…
