Female to Male (FtM) Transsexual Discussion

Weight training is something I have always been interested in, but never got serious about until these past 4 months. I'm now starting to see some great results. Wondering if any of you guys train or are interested in training. Maybe we could start a discussion.....things that work or don't work for you....protein supplements you use....etc.

So, I was remembering how when I first started this journey and the hormones asking myself, will I ever get facial hair, chest hair, the muscle growth I want. And realizing now, at 10 years out, I have become one hairy beast. And I love it. Yea I will say, on days I decide not to shave I probably look like the missing link. That's me. All animal.

Okay..so my mom hates me for this whole wanting to be a boy thing..my dad accepts me. My mom said that I can't do anything about this whole wanting a sex change thing until I'm 23 because my body is "still growing"....is this true?

I've heard of many guys who lived for a while as lesbians before either coming to terms with being, or discovering they were actually TS. From pictures of guys I've chatted with, and pix of people like Chaz Bono, it seems that all these guys dressed like any other male. Many had very male looking hair cuts. All this despite identifying as lesbians at the time. While watching a video posted by Plague in the thread " it suddenly hit me - why do lesbian women like females that dress and act like men, yet they don't want anything to do with men. And if their male-acting "girlfriends" end up actually being TS and decide to transition...the lesbian g/f's drop them like…

First off I Must say that being trans for ME was Not about a sex change or being manly. I do not drink beer, watch sports, or drive a truck. I don't even drive. When I was told by the gender "specialist" that in order to get on my testosterone I would need to engage in a MAN ONLY activity in public in my chosen gender role. So I went to a Gay Bar and hit on cute boys! I stole someones boyfriend and snogged em in the stairwell! Then I started hanging out with this super sexy drag queen and we became bffls! I did her hair and makeup, and outfits so long that I wanted to join in! No one knew I was born female and they were drag queens! Eventually I came out to …

So on Wednesday (28th 2011) I've got my first appointment with the hospital about my gender identity/problem/dysphoria (all these words sound wrong >.<) It's not my usual hospital so my brother-in-law has to drive me there I'm all anxious because i don't know the layout and stuff. Any tips on whats going to happen? What should i say? What are they going to say? Should i dress formal or informal? Will they run tests or just ask questions? Any advice is good advice, i asked this on a diffrent forum but didn't get much a response Thanks Julian

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…

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?

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?

A question to all the pre-op guys here. When you see your naked body, do you think of it as female? I used to, but I don't any more. I figured that if I am a man, I can't have a female body. it can't be famle because it's the body of a man. I now think of myself as a handikappad man born without penis - some people are born without legs, I think that would be worse. Or being blind.. that's my worst nightmare. Thinking like this, I feel kind of lucky. Because I was born without testicles, of course my hormones are wrong and I developed breasts. This is how it really is, it's just another way of putting it. I don't even think of my sex organs as female any more. It's…
