General Transgender Discussion

Haii my name is Kira but my friends call me Fatigue . After comming out and going to group, i met a transgirl names Roxy who was able to lactate, and proud to mention it, but when i asked how she did it, she gave me the most vauge answer like she didn't want people to know and keep it to herself. and i wasn't about to stop my hormones for an unknown ammount of time in order to induce lacation hoping to start again at the right time... so if anyone knows how to do thing i would like a detailed description of how and all the steps from breast pumps to hormone manipulation. thank you very much :3

So yea, as I was checking my videos on youtube, I stumbled across a suggestion to check out this particular video. by the end of the song, I realized this is probably one of the most heartfelt songs written by someone who's watching trans person from the outside in. I think many of you will like it. Also, it helps that she's got a gorgeous voice. Also, Im sure many are curious if she's trans, but I think she is just a genetic woman who wrote a song about a trans friend or aquaintence.

I know I am new here but after reading some of these posts I wonder how many others feel the same. As with my family and co workers they claim to be Religous and according to the Bible being gay or Trans is not Gods way and is a sin. First there are those who claim to be Religous but havent been to a church in years or maybe their whole life and those like my family who are very strict in their Religous beliefs and do go to church. Both these groups are quick to point a finger at some one and are predjuice towards anyone who is not like them. They hate people of color because they are not like them, they hate gays because they say it is a sin. Well I may be wrong, but doe…

Just a reminder, that gender prejudices continue to do battle within the community at large. If we don’t want a world full of judgments, we must not judge. When Being Trans Is Not Trans Enough The terms transgender and trans are increasingly being used in community circles to denote those who are who are transitioning from their birth-assigned gender to more closely align their bodies with their authentic sense of self. Let us not forget that transgender is an umbrella that encompasses all persons whose authentic identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female genders and.... read the article online at Huffington Post

I'm actually sort of happy tonight so I thought I'd share Ain't nature grand? I took these last Sunday on a hike. We live in a beautiful place here.

Me and a friend wanted to start a stand specifically for hand-crafted trans-pride products at the Pridefest in New york..... We were curious if anyone in the area of anywhere from delaware up to massachsetts wanted in on our plan? Hopefully, after my 18th birthday we were going to open up a business online which would sell trans-only pride merch, since there seems to be a whole 3 legitimate websites to buy from and business partners from all areas would be needed for advertising and the money made from pridefest would go tward funding the website over godaddy Just PM me if you're interested in joining in on our idea! :)

Does anyone know of a primary physician (HMO) in the Los Angeles area? Andrea

Updated March 24, 20169:04 AM ETPublished March 23, 201610:21 AM ETTARA HAELLE Experiencing the world as a different gender than the one assigned to you at birth can take a toll. Nearly all research into transgender individuals' mental health shows poorer outcomes. A new study looking specifically at transgender women, predominantly women of color, only further confirms that reality. What's less clear, however, is whether trans individuals experience more mental distress due to external factors, such as discrimination and lack of support, or internal factors, such as gender dysphoria, the tension resulting from having a gender identity that differs from the one assigned a…

I heard about this website on a YouTube video today. I don’t know if anyone is aware of it or not, but if not here’s the link to it. From what I’ve explored of it, it’s a great site. Professor Pride

Jus as the title sez, it's Prom season for R O S M Y , ( Richmond Organization of Sexual Minority Youth ) in Richmond Virginia . This has become , "My Prom" . See, in 1968 when In was about to graduate High school, I couldn't even have come close to attending my own prom . I knew I was Transgender then and earlier . In 2009, I was allowed to go to that Prom as a Chaperone . It was sooooooooooooo gratifying to be there in a Thrift store evening dress and getting my picture taken by a "REAL " photographer . This year , as in years past , I again get to be with "My kids " . Yes, those full of energy youths who identify a little differently than mainstream society . They are…

Last night I went to a PROM!! Never did that in high school. The LGBTQI ministry at church sponsored it. There were people of all ages and genders dancing and I wore log and having a great time. My spouse and I wore long dresses which draw many compliments. Haven't danced that much in years-and in my heels!! I'll post from pictures when I get them. :D

Courtney O'Donnell, 09/04/2012 4:51pm "With incorrect, offensive, or downright transphobic phrases like "man in a dress," "male-to-female transsexual," "he calls himself Brandi," or, likely the most offensive of them all, "he-she," mainstream media simply cannot get it right. Sometimes it's deliberate, especially in tabloids and other media that use exploitation to generate revenue. In other instances ignorance prevails in the media by those who ought to know better." Responding to Incorrect Transgender Pronoun and/or Gender Identity Usage in the Media

Proud of my dad now,he has fully come to terms I am much happier now.Came over to my place and we did talk.Finally said he had something to say and I said to say it which surprised me.Looked at me tearing up and said he has fully come to terms he has a much happier daughter in his life now saying goodbye to the unhappy son he once had.I teared up a little bit and we hugged.I looked at him and said I was proud of him for that.Before I started my transition,we had a great relationship and we still do.Even asked him what made him make this decision,said it was from my brothers that love and accept me as a sister.Good thing is he has learned to let go of an unhappy son that h…

This may be an obvious question, but in case of being caught in public restrooms while dressed up as a girl, is it only a psychiatrist / therapist that can provide a 'safety letter' to avoid trouble with police/ storeowners thinking someone is a perv, or can general practitioners do that as well? I have contacted and been told by a gender therapist that they were unsure what I was referring to when asking about such a letter... whereas I was previously in an area where it was recommended by TG support groups to have a document specifically stating "so and so is undergoing transition" which was apparently acceptable but only if written by that persons psych. (It's also po…

Rev. Susan Russell, 06/29/2012 7:54 pm "And one of those was my wife. Now, I have a hard-and-fast rule to never blog about my wife, but this blog is going to be the exception that proves the rule. A long-time activist, journalist, documentarian, and media consultant, Louise was convinced that gay, lesbian, and bisexual equality was a hard enough row to hoe without adding the "T" into the mix. "Let's fight one battle at a time" pretty much summed up her position -- that is, until the 2009 General Convention and the powerful witness of the transgender folk who so courageously shared their stories, their experience, their journeys, and their reality with her. She left Anahe…

Yesturday at the end of my therapy session, my therapist mentioned that he thought I was "Gender Conservative" or somthing like that, i don't remember the exact way he put it. he said he mentioned it at the end because he wanted me to think about it before our next session, but I have no idea what he means by it. does anyone have any ideas?

Before I came out, no one ever asked me about my gender or sexual orientation. Now I'm out as FTM, EVERYONE suddenly wants to know my sexual orientation! They'll say, "Okay, I get the gender thing, but are you gay or straight?" so bizarre. just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences...

Hi everyone, I live in the US. I had a question about transgenderism (MTF). Since my middle teens, i have questioned my gender because i rather hang out with the women then the guys. I wanted to be one of them. I can understand and relate to women a lot better than men because i know where they are coming from. From time to time, i question my gender in my mid twenties because i feel that i should of been a girl because i represent them better than men. However, i never crossdress before until a few months ago when i try on a bra. it felt awkward at first then it felt right. However, i don't know if i could pass or not because i'm the only child living with my mom…

Hi everyone. Recently I just started going to electrolysis on my face, trying to thin out my facial hair and eventually have it all gone so I don't have to shave anymore. But that isn't my reason for posting this. I had a question for others who are transitioning and either going through or have done electrolysis. Which do you think is better: 1. Doing electrolysis first and then starting hormones 2. Starting hormones at the same time as starting electrolysis 3. Hormone therapy for a few months and then starting electrolysis I'm sure everyone else has started at different times and I was wondering if one way works better than another. Its a little late for me…

Я не знаю, можно ли задать этот вопрос здесь и задавался ли он ранее, но мой парень трансгендер и я хотела бы узнать у тех, кто делал операцию на g3nitals, какой метод вы использовали, осталась ли ваша чувствительность прежней после операции? пожалуйста, расскажите мне все об этом. Это, наверное, единственное место, где я могу спросить, я очень обеспокоена этим 🥲

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?

I'm sorry if you've already answered this somewhere. But I'm really curious. I know you're not TG, so: 1) What interests you about us? 2) How did you find us? 3) What made you decide to look for us?

Hi GirlInside, I have seen by some of your posts that you knew, even at a relatively young age, that you would never be able to transition due to a masculine build. I was wondering, if that wasn't the case, if you just had an average build, do you think that you would transition? Or do you still think you would not maybe due to your voice or anything else that you think may cause a question from the public. And also, it's a pleasure to have you here, your posts are always well written and interesting! -Kim

I got to thinking about this today as I had to pick some automobile hardware at an auto parts store . I was dressed in a female top , the usual minimal jewelry , watch , ear rings . Even a decidedly female coat . I probably should have had a picture . O K , the manager who see's me all the time got talking with me about her Mother. I could tell that I was getting a detailed look. I finally leaned over the counter and said, "Look, I have both female and male parts, I'm transgender. Expecting a negative reaction , she patted my arm and said , lets talk outside . We did , she went on about her Mother .I listened . She was way more comfortable with ma that point. I ju…
