General Transgender Discussion

Hi everyone my name is Jo and I am new to the site and wanted to ask about how I get started with my transition from MTF. I have made an appointment with a therapist and I have read about transitioning from multiple sources but I still don't quite know what all the steps are. I am married and have a beautiful little girl and I want to make sure that I do everything correctly for them. I always felt I was different growing up and began crossdressing at an early age but I didn't understand why and neither did my parents. I recently came out to my wife and she is supporting me. Please if anyone wishes to help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

For the past few weeks my close friend DJ, has been by my side since the moment I've gone public in my MTF transitioning. DJ has been staying at my apartment for a while, and recently I wanted her to hear my new transitioned voice sounding more feminine, but doing the past few days I'm beginning to notice a change in our friendship, DJ who was talkative to me, now she is quite which began to worry me. So I asked her did she feel uncomfortable with me walking around the apartment with long hair, wearing lipstick, and in women clothing? DJ replied back to me "not at all" but deep down inside I think she does, which is making feel a bit nervous? She tells me that she likes m…

Hi I need some advise I'm in my very early stages of transitioning and I'm planning going back out to the Job market and at this point in time I have not legally changed my name nor birth certificate So I was wondering if anyone has any advice on filling out the the Application?? My SS card is still in my male gender and name. :mellow: :mellow: What if i would use TinaLynn Ann as nick name when filling out the Applications and doing the interviews??? And if I could do that how would I go about doing that??

I am a twenty-six year old transsexual male and as long as I can remember it has been an issue I've had to contend with. I sought guidance as a teenager with little to no avail and have tried to manage these emotions on my own but that has become increasingly more difficult as time wanes. I have no resources or advisers on the subject and don't want to do anything rash that might jeopardize my health or sanity. I am uninsured and was wondering if there were organizations or outreach programs that might help me find a professional I could consult with. Baring in mind I have very little income. This isn't a matter my family would embrace let alone accept so there's no h…

I've feel i want to Transition from male to female. i want to have a female body i also like female clothes, i also want to calm my high sexual urges from being male! i could find the hormone treatment easy for me but the surgery i want to have but i am scared. i also still want to be with girls. please any advice?

So after many years of wanting to do this I have started my transition one year ago and in the next few days ill be going to see a person that well let me take my hormones to go anther step farther into becoming the woman I was always wanted to be. But I am concerned about the effects that it will have on me and if they well even let me go father into my transition.. I am new to this kind of thing posting and wanting feed back.. But the thing is I am in my early 30s and for reason unknown to me I feel like I am starting so late and wont have time to transition before I am old. I like to also find a girl while/after everything.

Long story short I have gender dysphoria. It was interesting but disturbing seeing just how much I have in common mentally with transgendered people. It seems I've taken an unusual or unheard of path however. Complete transition just sounds too dangerous what with all the bigots out there, legally changing gender while not having an extremely rare type of family /etc/... So even though I identify as very feminine in personality, I masquerade as gender neutral. Trying to do what I can to be somewhat passable without getting completely screwed over if I'm discovered. This means no buying appearance altering products which may be suspicious, no going to doctors for anything …

UK law is now punishing transgender people – often very young – for having sex ‘by deception’ because they didn’t tell their partners their full gender history first 03 July 2013 | By Ashlee Kelly "The potential for transphobic cases to spring up over a bad relationship is a terrifying prospect. I shouldn’t have to make a recording of everyone I give intimate details about myself to." --gaystarnews.com Stealth trans people having sex should not be criminals

Does anybody have any advice on what career options would be suitable for a MTF transsexual? I am currently pre- everything so it has to be a job I can transition at. I have a degree, if that helps. Also, I am from the UK and I am quite good with people if that helps. Ty.

I got pulled over this weekend. I had blown a "No turn on red" sign. So Im digging around in my glove box when the cop comes up to the window. I hand him this crumpled packet of insurance cards/registrations i have been building over the years, and then i hand him my ID. He said, "Miss, can you just give me what i need out of here," indicating the packet of fun. So i dig through it and notice my insurance card is out of date and the real one was somewhere in my car. My registration was just renewed recently and the new card hadn't arrived yet. So I explain this to him and start digging around my glove box for the Insurance card. It wasn't there so I told him that …

People here are always saying how badly transsexuals are portrayed on TV, but I don't think that's true at all...Last night I watched an episode of "The Jeffersons" where George meets up with his old navy buddy Eddie...only Eddie turned into Edie and became a woman...They got a really gorgeous, really feminine woman to play Edie and transsexualism was portrayed in a really nice way. Also, there's an episode of Just Shoot Me with a similar plot, where Finch meets up with his old guy friend who had a sex change played by Jenny McCarthey. And then he has sex with her in the end I think. And on Veronica Mars there was an episode where she helps a boy discover that his f…

This is pretty interesting documentary. ~~~ See post #5 below for links to previews of Transvestite Wives ~~~

I just came across this YouTube video and I agree with the guy to a point. He is using just the one case to make his point which I agree with but just in this case and not all cases. Let me know what you think? Australian Transgender Athlete BANNED from DESTROYING WOMEN - YouTube I am thinking about women who transition early in life and don't have the body advantage as others might when transitioning later on. In this case she hasn't fully transitioned either. I am not sure why she even wants to compete? How much fun can it be? Are there women her size in the league?

Adrianne and I are planning a cruise for fall 2022 assuming COVID-19 is dealt with. I know that in Brazil at the moment, killing a transgender person is more or less considered a public service. On the cruise we’re looking at it would take us through the Panamá Canal with a stop in Cartagena Colombia. My understanding is that the attitude isn’t much different in Colombia than it is in Brazil. So I’m asking if anyone knows if it would be smart for me to even show my face on the ship, let alone disembark for some time in the country. And if I did disembark, should I be in fear for my life, and more importantly, Adrianne’s life?

Seems over the past year I've noticed Teenagers to early twenties are exploring, looking for crossdressers and trans to experiment with.Teenagers who say are cisgender male, post pictures saying this is me. A good deal of the time they have hips which no male could had been born with. They are attracting many followers. I truly have to wonder about them, trendy or looking for attention because they can't get attention otherwise.I have joined and left several Facebook private groups and notice the predominant topic is to have uninhibited sex. Many times asking for things I'm sure they would be sorry for if they actually get it.Many younger transgender get fricken upset of…

Ok, now this post may not be worded exactly correctly but my question is, I was at work today and Donna Lewis' I love you always forever came on the radio. Now, way back in the day, like middle school/early high school, anytime this song came on, I would immediately be consumed by this somber mood. Nothing depression-esque or even sad really, almost like when you see that moment in a movie where someone dies and that person is like thinking of them and its a bittersweet moment of rememberance. Well, this song would come on, usually at the god-awfully early hour of 715am (back then it was horrid, now 6am wakeups are usual due to being 'grown up'.) but anyways the song w…

I’ve had many occasions when I just thought, this is not going to be easy so I tried to go back and just be a male. I’ve spoken to several people who have had the similar doubt. Each time finding out the same thing, I can’t go back. I could fake it, but it doesn’t feel right. No matter how many times I’ve tried to put it out of my mind and out of my life I’m not even fooling myself. Therapy has helped a great deal and I know now that I’m on the right path and as hard as it may be I’m going to continue my journey. I suppose I just wanted others to know that this almost certainly happens to everyone and with time and help you’ll choose the appropriate path.

haii my name is Kira. lately i've been stuck in my transition, no longer getting free hormones or therapy via insurance and living in texas where it feels surprisingly harder to achieve them at all. so brainstorming led me to this site http://igg.me/at/KiraSrsAid/x/3649208 i guess im asking for advice and some financial help. any donation no matter how small will be amazing the ammount i listed on that site is deffinitly not all i will need, but it is for the bare minimum again, im asking for advice on how to start moving my transition foward again. im also posting this website for anyone else who may want to try it as a sourse to gain money for any s…

Hello! I was wondering if you guys remembered going out trying to pass as the "opposite gender" for the first time? What did you learn from that first time? What would you have done different if you could redo it, and would you recommend going with friends or alone at first? Thanks :)

I remember one day when I was in third grade, sitting at a table with some of the girls in my class. I wasn't very sociable, so I was practically invisible during their conversation. They were talking about who had the longest hair and seeing who could cover the most of their faces with theirs. I wondered what having long hair was like. That's the first time I can remember wanting to be a girl. I never talked about it with anyone. I would fantasize about it late at night, wishing that when I finally fell asleep, I could be a girl in my dreams. That rarely happened, and when it did, I would wake up as soon as I realized it. I would be disappointed in the morning, but fo…
