Female to Male (FtM) Transsexual Discussion

Quincy couple talk about transgender son's sad journey Boston.com In early elementary school, Kristen insisted on playing football, so her parents signed her up for Quincy Youth Football. She was the only girl on the team. When she finally realized that the boys were getting much bigger, she moved on to ice hockey...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum so hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. Ever since I can remember I knew I was different. I knew I had the wrong parts "down there". It was so unfair, when I was very young I didn't even realize I had something else, I thought I was just missing a penis. At that age (starting to use a toilet) I don't even know how I knew what a penis was, I just knew I didn't have something I should. As I grew up I always felt uncomfortable with my body but I never really felt particularly male or female. Now that I'm older I'm finding I have to do something about this dilemma if I'm ever going to be happy or have a satisfying relationship. I'm…

So... I don't know where to start with all of this... I need guidance I guess. I have a lot of trans friends, both ftm and mtf. My girlfriend is mtf, but she says she doesn't know if she'll be able to help me much. I'm afraid to talk to my ftm acquaintances about this, I guess because I'm not 100% sure I AM trans. But maybe I am, and that scares me. I'm scared of what my family will say. My parents are gone, and I have two aunts who I'm really close to. One I'm sure would be able to accept her new potential nephew, but the other I'm not really sure what her reaction would be. I ordered a binder. I've made a new Facebook profile. I've told my two best friends and my gi…

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'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.

I was flipping through channels on television and this show was on, decided to watch it. It's about a female, at the time of the show was 32 years old. His story has many up's and down's where the main focus was on his relationship with a cisgender woman and his desire to have bottom surgery. The show was by no means sugar coated, lots of emotions, arguments on many levels. Unfortunately I am not sure what channel it was, either ShowTime or Stars as my cable provider went down shortly after the show and my focus went to their service center. Any ways I would highly recommend watching this show if at all possible. Okay, I found it on Amazon and is free for Prime customers…

I found this very nice article in Huffington Post this morning. Of course I don't know how accurate its headline is but at least I think it's well-written and intentioned: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jamie-davis-smith/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-being-a-trans-man-but-were-afraid-to-ask_b_6708606.html?utm_hp_ref=transgender Emma

So I'm just starting to apply for colleges.... But when i move out for school I want to start Transitioning... So.... on my applications when it says sex/gender, do I put female or male? I'd feel extremely comfortable if I could put male but it's not what my teachers, transcript birth certificate or so on say. What about when I apply for housing? If the school offers co-ed housing I should just go with that right? How do I explain myself to others? I mean, in my school ( or on my bus rather) everyone calls me a tranny and I feel like it's extremely rude to do that.... What do I say? Thanks, Vick.

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize my brothers who were born in a female body who identify and strive to become male and let you know that while you may often be overlooked in many discussions concerning transgender issues, I do try to make the effort to remember and include you guys in with any information or TG topics I discuss, although I must admit I am also guilty of not always remembering to give you equal time, but I do try to make the effort to remember that you are all going through the same thing as your MtF sisters. While it seems that FtM transsexuals may not be as common as MtF (although I could be wrong) you do suffer all the same trials just as mu…

I like boys and girls. I prefer boys though. Do I have to only like girls to be able to get ftm srs? I was told tha I couldn't become a boy if I liked boys...is this true?

So I've decided I'm going to try and talk my parents into helping me figure this all out (even though my mom still wonlt acknowledge it). I want to know how to start this all. ILve come out to my friends, my boyfriend and my friends. I'm going to talk to my parents about gender therapy. Also, if I want to do srs by the time i'm 18 or 19 when would be a good time to start the hormones and real life expierence...btw what is real life expierence?

Hello, I'm new here and I'd like to share experiences to people with female to male. I'm just the other way around (male to female disorder) but I think it's more interesting to find out why people would have those things I liked to remove. For instance: beard growth and why it isn't an option to live as a wife? If I was offline here, you can reach me in the instant messengers (view profile). Best wishes from Germany ;-)

The story is old, but it's another reflection of the trials transpeople face. A Lawsuit’s Unusual Question: Who Is a Man? By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA Published: April 10, 2011 "In its January filing, Urban Treatment said that firing Mr. Devoureau was legitimate, “since the sex of the employee engaged in that particular job position is a bona fide occupational qualification” — implying that Mr. Devoureau was not really a man. " -nytimes.com A businessmanagementdaily.com article in June 2011 alluded to Devoureau's former manager having possibly "violated the ADA and the NJLAD when she asked if Devoureau has undergone surgery." And in a .pdf copy of the suit filed in C…

For as long as I can remember, I attended a Lutheran church with my grandparents in Mission Viejo, Calif. They have a strong youth program and at one point had a youth choir that would travel around on tour. I was part of the choir for several years before my sexuality became an issue." -McCoy, huffingtonpost.com Who Am I, Really?

Hey everyone, I've been away from the boards for awhile do to the move across the states, finding a new job (argh), and starting hormones, etc... Chest is healing really well. I just started using "scar zone and it seems to be working. I massage it on twice a day/once in the morning and once at night before bed. I massage the cream in for approx. 2-3 minutes. The left side is looking pretty good compared to the right side. The right side is going to be stubborn!! lol Anyway, the scarring on the left side started disappearing before I started using Scar Zone so that is a good thing!!! There is another brand name that is a little more expensive, but do not rem…

Here is a pic of my chest 8 months later. The right side scar is still darker than the left side, but I started using the Scar Zone and it looks a little better. Just started using it tho so it will take time. Have to use that stuff religously!! Ethan
