Here's hoping that pride month goes smoothly this year. Maybe we'll even get some legislation in our favor somewhere in this world. Preferably here in America. Anyone got any kind of plans for celebrating this month? I'm working with my legion on cleaning up a section of a popular walking trail. I'm not really able to do much due to the chair, but I do what I can.

He has to rely on anyomous sources according to this.

Has there been any studies on the subject?

I saw a blog post by a 'traditional Roman Catholic man' the other day and it reminded me of just how much work we need to do. He is so full of hatred. I have linked to the original blog post in my blog. If you have any doubts about his intentions read the posts immediately preceding and succeeding the post I link to... https://daniellaargento.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/a-transgender-parable/

Hi everybody I'm right at the start of my journey. I saw my doctor a couple of weeks ago and told her that I was transsexual - the first person I've told! She referred me for assessment to a gender identity clinic and when I called her secretary today I was told that it will likely take many months to be seen. Does anyone have any information or experience of the time it takes for an initial assessment to take place from point of referral? I guess I should have anticipated some delay (this is our NHS after all) but it's a bit disappointing to have made a commitment to starting down the road to transition only to find there's going to be a long delay before the next st…

Hi, New to this forum. I am a 25 year old trans man, started testosterone last year and I am doing good as of now. I have decided to take the next step and undergo top surgery procedure. I would like to know if anyone here has undergone this procedure. If so, please share your experience with me. I am super tensed about the whole thing, but excited as well. I am not sure how to prepare for this and how long I’ll have to get rest. How long will I take to recover fully from the procedure and when can I get back to normal life? I really don't know how the whole thing is going to be, so very nervous about it, at the same time, I feel elated as well. …

Maybe one day stupid here will actually learn not to step on soft surfaces in seven inch heels. this is the second time this is happened that I managed to break the strap on these heels, the first time I stepped on soft grass with them on, last night I stepped on soft carpet. my foot went one way, and my shoe went the other way. Oh well, back off to the shoe repair shop, at least my ankle is still intact. I need to stick to the dance floor and other hard surfaces in these particular heels. Bobbie Jo

I've never seen this question before and thought I'd ask. I had a vasectomy many,many years ago and I intend to have an orchi prior to SRS. By having a vasectomy first woud the orchi be less time under the knife? Would this alleviate the need for an anti-androgen? If we havwe prostrate problems; will this shrink the prostrate? With this procedure can we reduce the amount of estrogen and still get the same effect? I know many girls have the whole shooting match done at once; but as I never intend to have intercourse the depth of my vagina is of little consequence. I am seeing my endro today for the second time and will ask him also; but I …

I recently had a topic up and the mere thought of or view of the title staid discussion with the greater majority that viewed it, I understand that it is uncomfortable for most to speak openly no matter what the topic, that being said I knew what, where, and the general out come of the topic, it was apparent that it truelly had little to do with the subject, but more to the mere combination of words that struck a cord and either confirmed with the reader or they felt personal attack. With this in hand I thought long and hard about the thread, do I leave it up or do I take it down, the later was the case, I did so not because of any one thing but I felt the discussion was …

Nvm folks. Feel free to bury this. Adios.

I am new to the forums and not really transgendered at all, but here to gain knowledge of transgender issues. I was wondering if anybody had made a study of transgenderism as it might relate to the Myer-Briggs personality classifications. There are 16 personality types in the Myer-Briggs classification system, and I am one of the most rare, INTJ (borderline ENTJ). Only 2% of the total population at very most is an INTJ. On top of that, it has a VERY STRONG GENDER BIAS as there are 3 male INTJ types for every 1 female INTJ type. The 4 different NT types make up 25% of the total personality types while only being somewhere between 7% and 10% of the population. On the other …

Hi all. Putting this out there in case it might help someone else. I am in the process of making a gameboard. At the top of the board are my ultimate goals. They deal with health, relationships, spirituality, career....etc. I have then come up with the steps I need to take to reach each goal. the gameboard will have movable game pieces (probably velcro) that I can advance forward as I complete each step, or move backwards if I need to find an alternative route to the top. I am very visually motivated, so feel like this will be a big help for me. I am also setting up small rewards along the way. This will also help me in seeing the areas I am strong in, and the a…

Who knows Sinead O'Conner from the 80's? As far as I know back when I used to listen to her amazing mellow songs in 1980's I knew she was a 100% female! If one goes to porn sites today yet one finds many beautiful women with penis naturally they were surgically planted ! Now the question arises what is the rate of these surgery? One can assume its okay to be bisexual in their own terms. I am just bewildered O'Conner has a penis which concludes my theory of dual sexual fantasy! Is this case true or women having penis implant surgery? Here is link Sinead O'Connor On Sexuality: 'It's Not About What Gets [Me] Hard Or Not' - http://huff.to/1yXBwI6 Language in th…

Hi bonnie! I have been lurking for a few days and just came across a post of yours saying you are going back home. That is a huge step. Under what terms are you getting back with your wife on, if you don't mind me asking. Are you preparing to live your life as a male? I remember when you left, and how that was not what you wanted, but you could not continue the charade. How are you doing? -Kim

I've had several meetings over the past couple of months with a man who is providing me with some professional services. Before our first meeting I told him via email that I am a transgender woman. If that made him uncomfortable then that was fine and in which case I asked that he refer me to another colleague. We talked about it on the phone: he's a fundamental Christian and although he has a lot of experience with gay colleagues and customers he'd never encountered a trans person. If I was game to help educate him he was very interested in learning. Since then we've met a couple of times including yesterday. In the course of our conversation I mentioned that I'm sc…

Adrianne and I never leave the house anymore. Unless we have to. We both carry, and when we have to go to the grocery store, we shop separately. We pretend not to know each other. If it comes to something that severe, we're all in extreme danger just for being seen. She and I have become extremely reclusive so as not to draw any attention. We're scared. I keep a shotgun by the door, and have several weapons in a gun safe. We're six shades of screwed for the crime of existing. At some point, some republiKKKLanazi is going to propose a bill that will charge all people of the LGBTQ+ community a tax on the air we breathe. And It won't stop there, as those who are allies that …

I know I know it gets a little old talking about boobs but I just wanted to share something. My aereolas are getting wider and lighter in color. I don't have the cone type nipples. They are thick and long. My breasts are round and feel heavy and have some bounce to them. They are not growing in the typical tanner stages. They really look like boobs. If that makes sense.
