General Transgender Discussion

because we had gotten way off the topic of Dee's original thread - GENDER IDENTITY TESTS - i've taken it upon myself to bring the discussion to a new thread. our apologies, Dee. Insertnamehere (in reply to post #37, Gen TS Topics, GENDER IDENTITY TESTS) your thoughts on transsexuality and it's causes are unique at best. but i think your beliefs are born of your equally unique stand on gender. your posts up until recently made me believe you were MTF. then i got the impression you were GG. come to find out you are not GG, and really don't consider yourself MTF, yet you desire a procedure that many MTFs want - an orchiectomy. you said in post #37 "You should …

Yeah... the topic name should pretty much cover it. I managed to do it yesterday, and was pretty thrilled, but I guess that its kinda worn off a bit... but I thought I should let you guys know.

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.

if you could turn back the clock say ten years or so but, you can't change who you are just what you do what, if anything would you do different? me, i'd admit to myself who i am. i guess my biggest mistakes have all evolved from trying to not to be me. trying so hard to be a guy then has really made it so much harder now for me to be me. not just on the outside but inside. not to mention just day to day things like career choices that could have made things a lot easyier. i'm currently in a very male dominated industry that's frankly not accepting to me or others like me. soon i'll have to get into something else in order to fully "come out" and that's hard for "norm…

Hi I am not transgender myself, but I need to talk to some trans people about this. Story: I recently started going to college, and I met this fantastic guy. He's adorable and sweet, and I am very happy just being with him, but I have a few conserns, because he used to be a girl. I come from a really small town, and I was the only bisexual in my graduating class (there were no 'out' gays) so I know nothing about trans people because I have never been exposed to them. Is there anything I should know? -JessaLaFaye

I thought it might be nice to share some TG childhood memories. When I was little, like about 6, I remember going to a wishing fountain well... thing, and wishing to be a girl. I also remember my cousin telling me a liked barbie dolls more than her, which was probably true, as whenever I went over to her house I wanted to play barbie... Does anyone else have anything to share?

PLEASE SHARE YOUR TRANSGENDER HORROR STORIES Here is mine... Reading several posts on the message board got me thinking about one of my own horror stories of the past. I should preface this by saying almost all of my experiences have been either positive or neutral, but this one was incredibly destructive for me. In the 1970's, when I was in my early teens, I struggled with my gender identity. This was pre-Internet and polite families simply didn't discuss transsexualism. Religious families such as my own had no tolerance whatsoever. I didn't know I was transsexual. I had never heard the term and I frankly didn't know there was anyone else in the world who wante…

As I watched TransGeneration I was interested in the contrast between Gabbie's openness about being transgendered and Raci's hesitation to acknowledge being transgendered. I believe every person has to find their own comfort level and use what works best for them. As for me; When I went full-time I chose to make a clean break from my former self. I quit my job (making a great income) and did a complete transition. When I reappeared about 2 months later I was passing pretty much flawlessly. I took a job making a fraction of my former salary, but I was living on my terms. I completed HRT and SRS while working 2 jobs. Fortunately, I was able to regain the lost income and…

Hi, I'm new around here. Couldn't get the registration to work today so I've decided to work with a guest name for now. What I've seen around the TG community is that the majority are male to female, with intent to date other men (single, gay, TG, or whatever)... but I was wondering, is there anyone like me that feels like they're a woman on the inside (definitely not on the outside) that is only interested in straight or lesbian women? I haven't seen or heard of many people like that, and if so... it makes me wonder if there are any women that would take someone like me. Just curious and a little muddled. :P

In one post awhile back(before it went away because of some mean hacker people) there was a topic on these boards regarding Laser Hair Removal. I am in the process of having hair removed permanently with the use of laser treatment. So here is what I am learning. OMG the face has lots and lots of nerve endings! Moreso than I thought it had. When I went in initially to set up my treatment schedule I asked to experience what it felt like to have it done. So they showed me on my arm. It felt like a cool mist accompanied by a slight puff of air and the sound of someone flicking their index finger on the palm of their hand. It really didn't hurt, in fact it just sort…

Well, I'm slow enough to ask it. What exactly is tucking? I'm kinda confused.

It's BAAAACCK! It is the joke string that refused to disappear... our very own TG Jokes. Please feel free to post any funny story you may have that is clean and TG related. Annie

Over the years, because I (if no one else) knew that i was a boy, many words, and some phrases became distasteful to me. Some I even came to hate and will when possible avoid using them. Others cause me to inwardly cringe when I hear them. Here's a sampling: *Tomboy (when directed at me) *My own birth name (when I have to say it) *Ms, Miss, Mrs and Ma'am (when directed at me) *the "politically correct" words like "chairWOMAN," "mailLADY" *"Act like a LADY!!" (when directed at me) *any words for certain parts of the female anatomy (causes embarrassment more than anything) *"That's a BOYS shirt!!" (uttered by the speaker - female, naturally - with great di…
