Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

This article has been posted elsewhere on the TGGuide message board, however, it is so critically important to those considering transition that we are going to include it as a pinned topic. We have an article online from Melanie Anne Phillips about how to develop a feminine voice. You will find audio and video samples from Melanie as well. The page also includes a list of free Internet resources to help develop your female voice. This is a good starting point for developing your female voice. Developing your feminine voice takes time and work, but the results are well worth the effort. Virtually anyone can achieve a reasonably passable female voice with consiste…

Greetings all, First of all I don’t mean to offend anyone but I am simply a heterosexual male trying to understand what makes a transgender ticks. I was involved with an interesting discussion on transgender being linked to a mental illness. I was saying one that is transgender would qualify as having a "delusional disorder" because they have no premise of the reality that they are either male or female except for their thoughts/feelings of being the opposite gender. I have learned various male transgender having a female bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BTSc) in their brains, which regulates sexual behavior. Some of the people that found this out were wonderin…

okay...let's try this again. i had never done a poll on the forums before and it didn't come out as i expected. so...as i was sayin', in chat it seems that most FTMs prefer straight females for partners, and many MTFs seem to prefer females for thier partners. this has only been an observation based on the few i see in chat, so it may not be representative of the majority. also, thanks to kenny, i realized i left a choice out of the original poll/post. what's your preference for a partner in a relationship? 1. Straight men 2. Gay men 3. Straight women 4. Lesbian women 5. Bi-sexual female 6. Bi-sexual male 7. MTF (pre-op) 8. MTF (post-op) 9.…

Can anyone give me guidance please.Do many transsexuals feel the need to masturbate regularly to overcome frustration and is this normal. I am confused.

I have read on a few websites most transsexual women over the age of 50, such as myself, using female hormones develop at most A cup size female breasts. Having at least relatively large female breasts, at least a B cup size, is very important to my female self-image.I am trying to be patient, I used female herbal supplements from January to April, have been taking estrogen since mid April, progesterone since May. I wonder what has been the experience of others in developing female breasts, without using breast implants, especially those over the age of 40. Is it true I most likely will have to settle for no more than A cup size female breasts? Also, does it reall…

In the new millennium, we’ve come far. Civil Rights for almost everyone in the country, everyone that is, except Homosexuals and Transgendered. This time, this era, full of new ideas and technology, we must renew our rights for everyone. In the early days, being homosexual was taboo and even illegal. People have been killed or shunned by society in the earlier times for mere preference. In many states now, sodomy is still something that can get someone arrested. The law should get out of our personal affairs a little. Yes, we appreciate our government for their enforcement of laws (oppression), and keeping the peace at a reasonable level (assaulting minorities), and mai…

Hi, Just throwing this around. If you could go back to HS and be a girl. What is something you would have liked to do? Could be anything: Cheerleading, Softball, Dating, ect..... Mine would have been being a cheerleader. I was always jealous at the girls who were cheerleaders. Whats Yours? Kellie

Thanks for Annie's link.. http://www.transkids.us/gid.html I realise that i am a homosexual transsexual. Thats why gender identity is linked with my sexual orientation. SOOOOOOOOOOOO true.

it's pretty much well known that the suicide rate among transgendered people, and especially the transsexual, is very high. though i no longer think of, or even consider suicide, it became a constant thought about a year after entering puberty... and remained something i continually plotted for about 2 years - at least all of 7th and 8th grade. i do not know if the medical world has taken note of the most vulnerable time period for TS people, and so i wondered if there may be a pattern...perhaps something that could be considered in preventing TSs from committing suicide. if there is any one period that is most vulnerable...it may help those who come here t…

My favorite colors are Pink and Gold. I want to have an outfit that has both of those someday. Pink's my favorite favorite though, Gold's just my favorite. Tee hee hee, it's fun talking about this. Someday I'd like to wear a pink dress that has gold lacing on it's hem, sleeves, and lover's neckline, with white stalkings and maybe gold or pink or white tennis shoes, and a golden ribbon to tie in my hair. Tee hee hee, it's fun to talk about dream outfits, does anybody else have a 'dream' outfit they want to share? Come on, it's F-U-N! Oh, and to all the members of this forum (Especially Mary Ellen (This is your name right, ooh I hope I got it right, I'm SOO SORRY if I di…

Hi are any of you married or in a relationship woth a woman??

it has been my observation that the sexual orientation of many MTF transsexuals is for the preference of women for partners. today, while reading several posts, all from MTFs, i began to wonder why this is, or seems to be, as the incidence for homosexuality among FTMs seems far less in comparison. i think for the most part, we all know there is the religious aspect - that homosexuality is a sin. i think we all are also aware of the constant barrage of societal messages that homosexuality is far less acceptable for men than for women. not only do men harbour a dislike for gay men, but so do women. male homosexuals have been killed just for being gay - i can't, off …

if you could not pass or pass very well would you settle on being androgynous? :unsure:

Hi all! In my web wanderings I have encountered a site that I really think you should take a peek at. It personifies why we are all oppressed and shunned by people we have never done a wrong thing to. Its good to know what we battle. This link will take you to an article that just fried me. I'm sure there's lots of other things on this site equally outrageous. If you look here, be prepared to bristle. Mark's opinion GRRRRR! Annie

I was wondering if any of you guys and galls have any pictures that show your progress in transitioning. I figure this topic can give tentative transitioners some hope in seeing where others have come from and where they have arrived. Thanks :)

Hi everyone, I am an mtf, 27 years old, who started transitioning about 5 months ago, on hormones for almost 2 months. I wanted to hear a third opinion on an issue that is very pressing to me -- my doubts about what I am doing, namely, the transitioning thing. The point is, it feels right, and I have been dealt a few good cards by nature as to appearance (testosteron seems to have forgotten to affect both my voice and everything below my neck) and I get ma'amed several times a week in boy mode even with (still) short hair. I almost never get sirred. I realize really good passing will probably never be realistic, since my face is not perfect and I think almost no mtf ever …

If a magic fairy came down and said that you could only have one of these choices, at no cost, risk, or pain, which would you choose, if any, keeping in mind that this would be the ONLY thing you could EVER get done. I mean, whichever one you pick, you would never again be able to have either of the other two done, not even at your own cost. sorry, it's an odd fairy. -Facial Feminization -Genital Correction -Voice Correction to any type of voice you want I wonder what this magic fairy looks like -Kim

Hi girls, Sorry if I am going to repeat myself a little, but I need more clarity. I am sitting in a hotel room in Beijing, feeling very frustrated. I was just told that my concerts have been cancelled as half of the orchestra is stuck in the snow, so I have lots of time to worry about my gender problem. After spending some time with Pantau in the world of queer people in Bangkok, I now know that there is a place where it is not a big deal to be different from straight males and females. Being surrounded by so many different types of gender rebels, I feel quite comfortable. But I won’t be living in Bangkok for the rest of my life. I live in Bangkok because of my work a…

Hello, My name is Steve and I am posting here under the name I used years ago, in the MtF discussion because that has been my experience. I would like to share a little about what I have learned and battled through for over a decade. I am a man. What a simple truth that has been so unclear at times. My manhood has been under assault by lies about there being more fulfillment as a female. I have in the past joined forces with these lies in pursuit of feminization. My post here is targeted at those who feel compelled to embrace the good feelings of the fantasy we have had for years, but deep down do not want to go down that road. If you are a man and feel like you ar…

Just a question about the time required to test ones desire for SRS. Why is it needed to go thru the whole year, since in many cases, that person already spent years od practicing in closet? Some people are sure and there should be a way to skip the one year requred. Experienced consultant could determine, if the desire is genuine. Also, the HRT before causes shrinkage of the needed skin for vagina. Can stretching preserve the lenght? Didi anyone have surgery before HRT? <_<

i didn't wanna highjack the thread that the following came from...but felt it was worth discussion, so i brought it here. GirlInside was talking about how she pretty much keeps under wraps her feminine side when around men, and related how she stopped herself from saying something recently that might not have gone over well in a group of men: "That's just one example of how I am with men (not FTMs, of course). With women, I'm myself--much more feminine than with men--and I just let them figure it out." i find it astounding (and sometimes irritating) how often women -both genetic and TS- seem to think that FTMs "get" woman, that we understand them, or can relate t…

I hope this doesnt sound like too stupid a question, but since I have been hanging out here, and getting to know and admire you ladies, I have been talking to some folks I know at work, and so forth, about their opinions of the TG folks. I do this because now that I have hung around here, I am interested in learning more and I was curious how people I know feel about TG people. If anyone sounds negative I find myself taking immediate issue with them, and realize that they are speaking out of ignorance so I pipe up and become an advocate of sorts, but I don't know how to respond to their theory that TG's are "gay men who wear girls clothes". I know this is not the case.…

And said, you can have anybody's body style you wish, and when you wake up the next day, you will have that body, who would you chose? Men and women answer please. I'm thinking Jessica Simpson for me. -Kim

I'm now in a multiple electrolysis per week phase trying to clean off what was left by the laser (for some reason it just didn't do as much for me as it should have, and this was the same people who were helping others on the site who got much better results.. *shrug*). More exciting than that, I visited a doctor today for HRT consultation for the first time. We went through a bunch of basic health questions and family history. I had some mixed feelings coming away from there ... apparently I have some things that will not prevent me from doing HRT, but may very well force me to take extra drugs and use estrogen shots instead of any of the other methods (bleh ..... *shive…
