General Transgender Discussion

Ok, This is the description of the TLC program on tonight called "Born a Boy, Brought Up a Girl" A doctor advises that a victim of a botched circumcision be raised as female. My reaction to this is - What kind of dense Dr would suggest that this would be ok? Is he stupid? Does this sound like something a real Dr would suggest to you? -Kim Side Note: That must have been ONE botched circumcision huh?

Had this run in with a girl today, who apparently doesn't have a life, othen then wanting to make people around them miserable, and feel better about themselves. I dress in the mens fashion, though I still fully pre-op, and suddenly she feels the need to get in my face about it. Well Im good about not letting it bother me normaly, but I told her the true and said I was transexual. Hopping this might get her to just give up and go away. Result? Didn't work and made it worse. She just proceeded to laugh and say, "No, your a Fu**ing lesbian! You have the breasts and cooch to prove it! Lesbian!" Did not even bother after that to tell her im hetero and a man in a women bod…

I was planning on posting this question last night and noticed Christina 721 said what many of us thought and want. Question is to all M2f and F2M.If you could simply switch bodies with the oppisite sex and remain who you are would you without seeing the body you switch places with or remain just transitioning in the body your in.

Good Afternoon Everyone, How's everybody doing today? I've always considered myself a strong person but I'm really failing in the guilt department. I'm feeling so guilty that I didn't tell my wife my true feelings of wanting to be a girl 14 years ago. In fear of loosing her, I always told her it was crossdressing; which was wrong. How did anyone else in here deal with the guilt of breaking up your family over this? My wife and I have been trying to coexist for our children over the past 3 weeks, but it's just not working. Without our day to day love and affection we're used to giving each other; it seems to be more painful in coexisting than it would to be liv…

I'm only going to leave these up here for a day or two because I don't want it to become part of the internet wayback machine's perpetual archive of hilarity But I thought I'd post a sample of the voice progress so far and ask what everyone thinks. I'm attaching a sample of the male voice for comparison. (Sadly I actually like the way it sounds.. just not coming out of my mouth by default.. heheh) The female voice sample is sort of a parody... someone told me my voice sounds a little too uptight like I'm doing a voiceover for a PBS special, so.. I figured I might as well make the best of it until I can correct that. (Edit: I removed the male sample but I'll go ahe…

After GirlInside mantioned the Kinsey Scale I thought I'd look it up and I found something by a chap called Fritz Klein wich takes the analysis one step further and is perhaps more subtle as a result Here are the questions, with my answers Past (entire life up until a year ago) Present (last 12 months) Ideal (what would you like?) A - Sexual Attraction: To whom are you sexually attracted? - Women B - Sexual Behaviour: With whom have you actually had sex? - I don't C - Sexual Fantasies: About whom are your sexual fantasies? - Men, but ony when I first picture myself as a woman D - Emotional preference: Who do you feel more drawn to or close to emotion…

back in the *70s i saw a movie about a boy who's mother had raised him as a girl - A Reflection of Fear. the "girl" started killing people in the night, and used a broomstick on her female victims - don't think i need to go into any graphic detail there. when i think about this movie now...it seems to reinforce that man just cannot change or undo some things that nature has done - of course we know (or believe) that gender is one of those things. the mother in this movie put her child in girl's clothing, treated the child like a girl, raised the child as if a girl, but in the end, the child went on a [sexually frustrated?] rampage partly because in reality the child …

I recently read an article saying soy can indeed produce higher levels of estrogen within men leading to a more curvy body and thinner muscular build when conformed to a heavily soy-dependent diet. Upon further review, I read that OTHER scientists say no, soy has no effect on men estrogen wise in any way noticeable. I was wondering if anyone had any info on this? Id love to find out as Ive only had a few soy products like tofuerky and 'boca burgers' and although never bought them myself, I loved the taste. I'm not one who has the clearance to go about attaining hormones of any type and the idea of growing breasts makes me leery as Im not sure I want ANY like definite …

It seems just when I feel comfortable that a FtM is who I am, I get extreme feelings of doubt. It's usually after I see women together, that I feel like I want to belong there, but I just don't. I like the lesbian community. I think the love between two women is beautiful. I feel I want to be a girl that loves a girl, not a boy that loves a girl. But I don't really fit in with the gay females. Especially the man-hating ones. Then other times, I'll feel happy with whatever I am and I'll want people to see me as a boy. The more I see or talk to FtM's, the more happier I get. And I feel a sense of belonging, but at the same time, I feel a bit distant from them, like that…

I was just sitting at work (in 'boy' mode) thinking about all of the little things that bug me about it, and it occurred to me that it might be fun to turn my petty aggravations into a 'top 10 - what I hate most about not being full time' list. Please feel free to add your own issues to the list (or old issues if you are now full-time). =) I'll start with mine: THE TOP 10 THINGS I HATE(D) ABOUT NOT BEING FULL TIME ======================================== 10. Driving to work, only to find that I still have finger nail polish on, and having to stop at the drug store to remove it before showing up. 9. Answering the phone and not knowing if the caller is expectin…

So, let's have at it. You all know what I think...

This had to have been a topic on this forum before. However, when did you people truly got the hint that you maybe trans? If this topic has already been covered then I apologize. :P

How long did it take you to actually notice the distribution of body fat start looking like a woman?

Ok, this is apropos of probably nothing for anyone else, but I just had to post it before I burst... The other day I asked my wife if she'd pick me up some pink nail polish at the store while she was there. It's sort of funny because I figured going to the makeup section wouldn't be a big deal for her, but I think it made her as uncomfortable as it would me (in different ways). She's such a tomboy sometimes. I repaid her kindness with Paradise Bakery cookies though. I told her I didn't want to freak her out with it (she's still getting used to some things) so I said I'd just use it when she wasn't around and clean off my nails before she got home. But she has this …

Hi my name is Rachel and i'm an alcoholic.... Nah, just kidding, i'm a shopaholic!!!!!! I'm starting this thread to showcase some of my new purchases. Some are photos with me wearing them, some others will be the photo from the eBay listing. Feel free to add to this thread. Thanks.

NAZI ANTI-JEWISH SPEECH VS. RELIGIOUS RIGHT ANTI-GAY SPEECH: Are They Similar? Jews Control Everything Gays Control Everything Jews 1% of population: control politics, world opinion, NYC, & have lots of money "At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Jews sit at the junction of the world financial markets. They are an international power. Although only one per cent of the world's population, with the help of their capital, they terrorize the world stock exchanges, world opinion, and world politics. New York is today the center of Jewish power." - Nazi propaganda film, "The Eternal Jew," http://www.holocaust-history.org/der-ewige-jude/stills.s…

Have any of you ever have any doubt or question being transgender and if so what made you come to terms with the fact that you are trans? Sorry if this is a dumb topic. :unsure:

Although gays have made some progress in society in recent decades, in general TGs haven't done as well. The perception of MtFs in particular is one of us being buffoons. For years, on countless TV shows and in film, we have often been portrayed as laughable clowns. Yes, some recent movies offer a more balanced portrait. Let's hope the trend continues. I believe the only real way to educate people about who we are is by example. The world must see that we are not sex-craven pigs or circus freaks who CHOOSE to transition as some sort of lark. Transsexuality is not an eccentricity, malady or mental disease. TS is however all too often pain, confusion and per…

For the second time in my life I am experiencing my coming out, due to in large part by this message board which has meant the world to me. I can't help but feeling like this is my virtual family and support group. I really wasn't planning on coming out until my book was published in 2012 which is also the year that I retire. My wife has been acting so strange lately. I think it all started when she found a birthday card that I was sending to a friend that she didn't know so she opened the card that was meant to be mailed and it was signed Love Jojo. OMG! I was jumping through hoops trying to come up with a good story on that one. It seemed as if she was getting over tha…

I don't want this to be a downer topic, but honestly, how likely is it a MtF will find a good man or woman after transitioning? I haven't a clue so am wondering what other's observations on this subject might indicate. From my own personal experience, within the gay community it is very hard to find a good, faithful, stable, employed, sane, loveable guy. Since the trans community is smaller I am guessing the odds are slimmer? MIWBJ

I couldn't help myself with the title! So, I found a counsellor/therapist I think I'm going to start seeing! :)

I haven't posted here in a while, but I finally worked up the courage to take the first steps to transition and I contacted a bunch of therapists to set up consultations. I'm really nervous/excited! just thought I'd share :-)

Hello everyone! As long as I can remember, I've felt like I was female in a male body. However, for many reasons, I have decided against transitioning; I've decided it's just not for me. I've decided I can accept being female in a male body. Does anyone else here feel as I do? (If so, you might want to check out my site: http://www.geocities.com/girlinside123/)

Hey. Maybe this is the wrong place for this topic, if yes, I appologize. I know I wasn't here for a while. Mostly because I kinda fought or you can say I am on my way but very confused. Okay to be more specific. So far I haven't "outed" myself here. I haven't said what I am. Welll I am a male in the body of a female. Thanks to this board and some really great friends I realized this. I found out what is "wrong" with me. Since I realized this I can say that I make a kinda morphosis. I live out my male soul. My closest friends don't call me by my female name anymore and one of them calls me man and brother what feels awesome. I also told some other people what I am an…
