General Transgender Discussion

It’s been a bit since I was on here. Of late my meds were ruined and I’m playing hell getting them filled again before the end of October. I’ve begun wearing a bra daily. I’ve heard it helps with shaping them. Not sure I can believe that but what the hell i do love wearing them. I hope my doc can help get my meds. It’s been horrible not having them. My addiction to becoming female is overwhelming and has brought me to tears because I can feel ["him"] trying to move back into me. Any advice from anyone on how to handle it would be nice. Love you girls. Cynthia

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…

hey everyone, glad i found this forum,...and i sure hope i don't offend and can inddeed find answers to my question here. i am a good looking guy with a good job and a good heart and values. i am attracted to gg's as well as tg's....(absolutely NOT attracted to men or crossdressers at all!) i just love women and that little bit of genetalia hidden beneath panties is really of no import to me, its the mind, soul, and yes BODY AND FACE that attracts me to a 'woman'. I have dated many, many gg's and several tg's, and i'll admit i am choosey, i love a good looking together woman, call me shallow but i like liking what i wake up to and being sexually aroused by my pa…

Just a lightweight blab to say how much I dread wrestling with earrings every day. Short stem, long stem, danglers- you name the type, and I've had my butt kicked by a set. Argh.

While I was doing things on the com. and listening to tv.I noticed a show on G called Taboo.I'm sure many of you have heard of it but today Sat. at 2-3 cst. they had a show about transsexuals and transitioning.I didn't catch to much of it but it showed transsexuals from many different countries. I found that Samoa is quite accepting of transgendered people. It also showed Dr. Bowers and many other places.I don't know if they'll have it on again and I didn't catch the title of the show but one can check their guide to see if it's on again if your interested.

Hello all! Well i'd like to first give a bit of background to the situation first then see what you guys/gals think. Several years ago when i was roughly 15 or so i decided i need to get my secret out about having issues about wearing womens clothes. I found it easier to tell my mom because she could take the news better and i feel more comfortable talking with women about that sort of thing. So i wrote a letter saying that i think i might be transsexual and about the fact that i had been wearing womens clothing in private since i was 4-5 years old. My mother took the news ok, at least to my face and didn't seem to have a problem. She did however question the whol…

I am new and i would like to talk to any one that can help out with what i need ask'ed thank have a nice day.

First off, I want to say hello. I've been talking to a member of this site on another forum, and he has give me the link here. I Have been looking around for the last 3 weeks or so, and have decided to post my little dilemma. Hopefully someone can help me or maybe just give me some advice. Here go's: As far as I can remember my feelings started around 10, 11, or 12 years old. I used to put on my mum’s clothes when she was out, and strapped my penis back, so it looked like I didn’t have one. I had a funny childhood and for a boy, I had some strange interests; among over things, I was into Horse Riding and also was in a Jazz Band, in my eyes these are main…

As I was shopping this weekend, I visited Barnes & Noble hoping to find a paperback to kill time with. I don't even remember now what section I found this in; musta been fate! Dr. B. is a psychiatrist. She has decades of experience treating ordinary people, males and females, and their relationships with each other. In this book, published in 2006, she has gathered much of the latest research using PET and fMRI scans of the active human brains and animal studies of the effects of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and other hormones on the brain. The book is organized from in utero through childhood, adolescence, adulthood to peri- and post- menopause, for t…

In the thread " (by Stephani), I read the following in Ellen's (tbirdgal) post to the thread, "...various laws in several states requiring the three pieces of clothing on you at time of arrest are still on the books..." I didn't want to de-rail the thread, so I thought I'd create a new one that might spark some discussion...because this inquiring mind wanted to know what this meant. I didn't want appear too stoopid, so I tried to google it first - what I found would dictate whether or not I created this thread . In a wikipedia article, I found the statement, "women were required to wear three pieces of feminine clothing, and would be arrested if found not wearing 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?

Anyone have hair extensions?

Hey, I'm a genetic 23-year old female who happens to be completely flat-chested, and it's wreaked havoc on my self-esteem/body image. I stumbled across this board while looking for hormone treatment for breast development. I know they can give this to girls who aren't developing properly during puberty--which, at 23, I am well past--but I figure if it can give genetic males some decent-looking breasts, it can probably help me out too. I'm desperate. I've tried various types of birth control (Ortho-Tri-Cyclin, Yaz) as well as those hokey breast enlargement pills (yep, I'm gullible), and none have had any impact on my breast size whatsoever. I am scared to death to …

I'm here enjoying my 'first' time dressed, life is good. I'm actually fairly relaxed and not into libidinous overdrive (thank goodness!) I realize clothing and make-up does not the woman make, but for now, I can dress-up and pretend a bit. I've got on flowy pin-striped pants, a frilly white 'blouse', hose, flats, make-up and my nails painted. Not quite feminine looking but more elegant and softer than normal. I suspect I will remember this for some time. Do you remember your first time? P.S., while I've worn fem clothing before, it was just a piece or two. This is my first time with 'outfit' and make-up.

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…

I am so sorry that I have not been around for awhile. I have been trying to get my life in order and been so wrapped up in other things that I almost forgot you all. :( :(

It just occured to me a few minutes ago. After shaving my legs, I put some powdered base on to make them look nice too. Do I have to worry about the stuff getting on the furniture? If so, any suggestions to get that nice even smooth appearance without using base? What other unexpected surprises might the various kinds of make up have which newbies should be aware of?

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, …

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! :)

This Sunday, July 26th, I will celebrate my tenth anniversary of introducing Gennee to the world. I've gone from a cross dresser to transgenderist to transgender woman. Each year has brought successes. I overcame my fear of using the ladies restroom. I traveled out of town as Gennee with no repercussions. One big plus is I've received numerous compliments on the pink hat that I wear. I am part of a transgender women group with whom I have made friends. I am very happy and joyful and look forward to each day that I have.

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…

Hi girls, I’m wondering what’s the difference if one was just to take estrogen vs if they just took t-blockers vs taking both? since I’m going to Japan it seems the doctors there are wary of T-blockers because of some side-effects that may happen. But should I push for it? Of course I’ll get my blood checked first, but I really really don’t want to become more masculine. The doctor claimed the estrogen would block testosterone anyway. Usually when you take estrogen do they give you progesterone too? If so I forgot what progesterone does(dang it memories of sophmore year of high school has failed me). If I were to only take estrogen with no t-blockers…

Things are really crazy politically. I’m terrified. I’ve started letting facial hair grow, and presenting as male. In his first term, we were made into the preferred boogeyman, and things have only gotten worse. God forbid you have any Hispanic heritage. They’re already trying to dox anyone with dark skin. They’re trying to get people to do the same thing people did in Nazi Germany. People reported their neighbors for being Jews, here they’re wanting people to do the same thing with anyone they think is Hispanic. Im not Hispanic. But I am transgender. While the hate and terrorism towards Hispanic people is beyond extreme, it’s equal for us. The men aren’t in anywhere…

:D I hope you had a wonderful day!!!! Love Kim
