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…

I read this blog today and thought it was certainly worth sharing - Beth "I look at being trans as a blessing, not a curse. You think I wouldn't have loved to have been female from birth? Yes. Am I envious of younglings like Kim Petras and Jazz who either got to or are growing up as girls and have loving parents who helped them do so? Yes. You think I wouldn't love to go through a day without hearing about a transperson being disrespected or killed somewhere on the planet? Yes. You don't think that some days I would love to just be another 6'2" statuesque Black woman on the planet blithely going about her day and not having to constantly do hard solid thinking abou…

“COMING OUT TG” Hi I’m Georgia. I am a Trans Gender person, and to be more clear, Bi-gender, and Bi –Sexual. This means I can appear as male, female, or a combination of both. I can have sexual desire for male, female or any combination of gender orientation. I am in a most wondrous relationship, and am totally monogamous, mating for life like the swans, or at least I have attempted to all of my life, but my former partners would eventually throw me out of the nest thinking I was an ugly duckling, whereas my swan-ness had not yet “come out”. I will turn 60 years old shortly and am beginning the process and getting the courage up to be “coming out” as my TG Self a bi…

Hi everyone, I'm a 24 yr old gender questioning young adult from Michigan. Is 24 to late to start hrt for decent results like breast development. I consider myself a late boomer in development because my male characteristics are just kicking in. I have a slight beard, slight male browline that sticks out a little bit, and reduce body hair for my age. My inner feelings feel strongly female. However, i never really dress before except for wearing a bra which was awkward but great. It was like a release. The reason why i never really dress before because i afraid of being caught. Also, i never was really into girlie things because i like to go hunting and go to heavy…

Note: I hope this article is a good one. I hate to admit it, but I didn't read it all - I usually read anything I am about post. When I saw the length of this blog, I thought, *nooooo, I can't do that whole thing!* (believe it or not, I'm really not overly fond of reading. And here I am...on a forum!). But the headline seemed like it would be of interest. I hope it wasn't misleading. If it was, you all just line up and you can each cyber kick me (once) where the sun don' shine.

Hi Everyone Well it has been sixteen months since I started HRT a lot of wonderful changes have taken place over the months. My skin is so much softer. Body fat redistribution is going very well. No more hair on my tummy an chest. Leg hair is finer softer an thinner. Slight facial changes are taking place. Body odor has really changed. Breasts are getting larger an more shapelier, Nipples are not as sore. All female thoughts an emotions now.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, life’s been very busy. I’m just about two months post-op and feeling great. The post-op treatment schedule is a demanding one and only just now slowing down giving me more personal time. It’s incredible to think back of all I’ve been through in the last year to more recently the past few months. I’m finally me! I feel comfortable in my own skin … I have arrived, lol. Sincerely though, surgery may not be for everyone, it certainly was for me. As I said recovery has been hectic but got progressively easier and less pain and swelling as time has passed. I still have some swelling and a lil’ discomfort when sitting up for any lengthy…

Today marks my 23rd month of being out full time. Almost 2 years of finally being comfortable with my own body (well, except for one part, which I hope to replace with a feminine part next year). It's been an amazing journey. Not only do I feel like I am finally living my life as I should have been from day one, I've had a lot of fun the last 2 years as well. I've done some things that most 51 year old tgirls haven't done, heck, I've probably done some things that most 51 year old GG's haven't done. In 2009, I was on stage dancing at a straight strip club beside 21 year old GG's, and I was having a blast. The girls there had no idea I was a transsexual until m…

Hi New to this forum, I am Stephanie Elizabeth Anne Butterfield, I am a campaigner for TS awareness in my home town in North East England. I am 44, was diagnosed in January 2007, and started HRT a month later, my responsiveness to my oestrogen has been quite good, being "B" cup going ontowards "C". I have my 3rd appointment with my Gender Psychiatrist on the 29th this month. I hope to get my first opinion letter for surgery as well as have my Estradiol raised to further boost my feminine development. yours Stephanie

I get into the elevator at work; there is one woman already on the elevator. Doors closes, she looks at me and says (actually I forget the exact words) how do you like to be addressed? I know what she is referring too and said, “It’s obvious to you?” and she replied with ‘I am reading a strong female presence from you’. It is not that long of a ride and we both get off on the same floor with nobody around. She told me that a woman in her family is transitioning from female to male, which is one of the reasons she felt comfortable talking to me. I asked her if I was presenting male or myself more as a female? Her response was easily female. I really felt good about this co…

This is a very dead forum don't you think. I'm just bursting to talk. But there's absolutely nothing here. How many posts in one day? Come on now, we're all girls together. Let's talk. OK, we can talk about shoes or men, or whatever. I promise, I won't try to steal your man (fat chance anyway). HL

Hi. First of all i think it would be best to give a bit of background information. Im a 21 yr old male and i feel like ive been living a lie for the last 10 years. If u were to see me i look like the average bloke and behave like one too. The thing is im feeling really confused about who i am. At the age of 11 (this is the earliest i can remember these feelings) i was getting the feeling that i should be a female even though i knew i wasnt, and those feelings have never left me. I felt it best to pretend like i was feeling normal and ive structured my life so that i fit in, and nobody suspects anything. It was only recently i started re-searching transgender websites etc …

I wanted to just post a topic that I feel might be good for some around on the verge or scared to go out and goto the Club for a night out En Femm or even just as the woman you already are ( sorry you guys as well ) , Ok I have lived full time for a long time as you alll know and have had many expieriances I have shared and talked about with so many coming up through the ranks of transitional univeristy (LOL) I thought I would add this to the mix , I and my Debra went out yesterday and did some arrends , she wanted to go and see this guy that I am attempting to set her up with , and I went the other direction back towards the house , she need less to say Hay yo told me y…

Yesterday started off terribly. I cut the back of my hair to keep it looking like a bob and my wife got furious. She said all the same hurtful things she normally does and we fought about getting divorced. Then, the conversation actually got beneficial. She told me how she was actually feeling. She told me about how scared she is of losing me. She told me that she hates me as a woman because she sees me as killing her husband whom she loves so dearly. Finally, we came to a compromise. As long as I hold off on hormones and GRS (so that she can still have sex with her husband), she's going to respect who I am. We've planned a date for shopping and dinner this…

While trying to find some before and after pictures for another thread, I came accross this animation.. quite interesting for those of us trying to walk differently... I'm pretty sure I don't walk like the 'very male' even now! http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html

Hi all I have a week away next week and think it's an idea time 2 shine, however I don't no were 2 start yes I no 2 rid myself of hair then moisturise but then wat ? Xx

a sad but enlightening event happened to me. my wife and i had sex a few days ago and all was going well until i felt her body and watched her in the throws of her pleasure. i just didn't want to continue. i had no connection to her or my penis. although i love her very much the idea of me inside her just didn't excite me. i lost what erection i had and couldn't continue. she was sad for me but i was sort of relieved. many of you have said that you are not as horny as before. i think i have developed a woman's libido. although i have not had sex with men yet i fantasize and dream of it. this always gets me horny and erect. i am not hot and slutty for men but if i was r…

Happy Holidays To All! Just wanted to write some excting news to everyone. For the first time I went over to my familys house as Kellie. I must tell you that everything was great. My two sisters and Mom all have been very supportive and even surpirsed me with some new clothes for christmas. YIPPY! On the otherhnd my brother in laws avoide me like the plaque. For the first time in my 32 years on earth I felt like I should have always felt. I dreamed for so long to be able to wear a nice black skirt suit, with black stockings and heels, like my soon to be ex wife wore when we went there. I was truly a woman. I felt so wonderful being myself. A Dream Come True!!!! THE …

There has been much talk about homone testing and the importance of a medical doctor in prescribing hormones. I agree with the seriousness of this topic and rather than talk about doctors that don't know anything, I am offering an alternative explanation for the different types of testing that may be done and the reasoning why. I would like to share some insight on what is happening to me. I am going to one of the best facilities in the state of wisconsin for medical care in madison and they have a special team of doctors who handle transgender care. I have had my blood levels taken and will be having them checked about every three months or so. This testing …

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

Hi, I am finally beginning to realize that I maybe a transsexual instead of a crossdresser at the age of 55. My thoughts all day are that of interest of being a complete woman in every way possible. I dream of shopping, beauty secrets, and making love to a man as only a woman can, Has anyone else felt this way at 55 and gone on with mtf surgery? If so was it worth it? Love to hear from all of you girls Love, Robyn
