Female to Male (FtM) Transsexual Discussion

I finally found a doc and she got my precripton filled. I will start hormones next week. Its not cool that she is a 3 hour drive away, 6 hours total drive, but for now it will have to do. I found out thru my insurance that she had to call it in and get it approved first and so she did just that and they approved it without hesitation. waaaahoooooo So, my insurance is going to cover it. I only had to pay $10. My doc put the reason I needed the "T" is because I have a low level. They asked no questions other than where to send it. It sucks in a way because they have to ship it to me, not happy about that BUT, I start "T" next week and I AM SIKED ABOUT THAT!!! lol …

I found this site today and I'm working around it:) I related to the profile comment of one of the moderators (Michael) and would like to know more of what this site entails.

Summer of 1980, Location: Middle East, Saudi Arabia.. Report: A new baby has been added to my family members.... Gender: Female (But Deep Inside as I grew up....I Figured out that its a Wrong Answer!) I'm not a Female, Yet not a Male...I'm Just a Creature that lies in the Middle...... Not a He or a She ! I Dont know what Am I !! In My Place, Having a big family and loads of kids would be a source of Man's Self Imaged Pride among his tribe, Especially if his kids were mostly boys... I've never treated like a girl thou, maybe my parents thought that I have a Disorder or something mental... The reason as I realized later that I was spoiled by Gran…

Twins get sex-change surgery in Shanghai People's Daily Online They kept their shared secret from the family until last year when they came across news online that transsexual surgeries were available in Shanghai. They used the words "stunned" and "embarrassed" to describe the reaction of their parents and older... This is very interesting. It's the first case I'm aware of where twins have both been transgender. I hope they will somehow find acceptance and be allowed to live their lives happily. ~ Lori

Therapist finally gave me the referral for top surgery!! My surgery date is on 11/28/2006. I am so excited. Flight arrangements and hotel room is reserved. I have chosen to have surgery with Dr. Raphael because he is cheaper than Dr. Brownstein and Dr. R has a good reputation! I have met an FTM in Dallas and he has helped me out ALOT! He is arranging for me to have visits from other FTM's in the area and they too have either had top surgery or in the process of having it done! So far the assistants in Dr. Raphael's office have been OUTSTANDING! Janie has been awesome! She sent me info on local hotels, transportation to and from airport, and with Sean's name as …

I just saw this article and thought I would bring it to your attention. Thinx launches line of underwear for transgender men who get their periods Remember Thinx? The company has been making headlines this year for their line of period-friendly panties. Now, they’re back in the spotlight, this time for a line of underwear geared at transgender men. This weekend, Thinx announced the launch of their new “boyshort,” a gender-neutral design with a 4-layer absorbent, leak-proof insert that holds up to a tampon-worth of fluid. https://ca.style.yahoo.com/post/133407922920/thinx-launches-line-of-underwear-for-transgender

I sorta wondered at the purpose of this article since there's really nothing in it that most of us don't already know. I thought maybe the reporter had bumped into Bono during some recent event or something, but there is no indication of that in the article. It appears after a couple of paragraphs, however, that the reporter was simply cashing in on a tabloid article published before this one - which, by the way, seemed pretty decent. -dml _______________________________ After the son of gay icon Cher and Sonny Bono went on Dancing With The Stars, he received extremely harsh backlash 26 October 2012 | By Joe Morgan Chaz Bono, one of the most famous transgende…

I made this a couple years ago and it's all very medically technical as far as terms but covers all the basics of what to expect when going through HRT. You can look up terms for greater explanation of them.

Hi everyone. Looking to see if anyone has constructive ideas for raising money for surgery. I'm looking to complete my surgery....have the doctors and therapists letters....even have someone that will go with me and help out. Just have to raise the funds. I know care credit and Capital One health used to lend monies, but since the economic downturn, they have stopped lending. I have no house to take an equity loan on, and even my car is 11 years old. Any ideas? I'm open to all. thanks.

I'm still a girl...completly. I know I want to be a boy. I've known for about 5 years. I don't really know what to do though. I have my guy name picked out....but I don't know where to start or what to do... Any tips? Btw when I become a boy I'm still going to date guys. I'm going to be a gay boy.

Hi.. first time posting here so I'm a bit nervous but here goes. This is my situation. I'm physically female but mentally I feel like I'm not. I guess I feel like I am neither/both, but I do have times when I feel male. I'm usually neutral. I explain myself as being intergender when I tell someone about me. But I have always hated being stereotyped like a girl, I don't act or dress like one, and I cringe when people call me "she." I'm a moderator in an online game, and on the forums associated with it. I have very few offline friends and I'm pretty much a shut-in. All of my best friends are online and met them through this game. The community at large doesn…

May 16, 10:44 AM EDT Doctors say the United States' first recipient of a transplanted penis is recovering well from the delicate surgery. Surgeons on the Massachusetts General Hospital team who performed the transplant on 64-year-old Thomas Manning say blood is flowing to the organ. They say there are no signs of bleeding, rejection or infection, and that they're cautiously optimistic he will regain the function he lost in 2012 when cancer led to an amputation of the penis.

Hello everyone. Its been a while since I have been to these forums, but I am here in hopes that a question of mine can be answered. I am a transsexual woman. I have seen all kinds of surgeries for MTF folk. However, out of curiosity I wanted to see the Metoidioplasty and Phalloplasty surgeries for FTM. I can find pictures but never any videos of the surgery. If anyone can lead me in the right direction it would really satisfy my curiosity. Much love to you all, Nicole ^_^

"Stephen Ira Beatty (born Kathlyn), the eldest child of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, is also an F-to-M man, and he has a big problem with Bono acting like a spokesperson for the trans community"... Stephen says, "Chaz is a misogynist. He is a trans man who seems to believe that his female-assignedness and his female socialization makes him immune from being a misogynist, and he is manifestly wrong."
