Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hi, my name is Lucia and I am a Male to female in the early stages of my transition. Ever since I have came out to my family and some of my friends, it seems like everything has fallen apart. My family has limit me from going to therapy and doesn't like where its located(its located in an area where its populated mostly by gays, lesbians and more.) My family is religious and doesn't believe in Transsexuality and think its an abomination, they also said even if I get SRS that I still be a man and stuff ='(. I attempted to go to therapy on my own, but I can't due to my family.Also I feel insulted by my mother due to her saying things like I don't have any features of a woma…

I am still contemplating issues on feminizing myself. I was wondering if a person oriented there diet to food and herb very high in estrogen could they get female features slowing over time. I am presently vegan and eating high estrogene foods and drinking herbal teas red clover(high in estrogen) and milkthistle(for the liver). I am still in that middle point deciding about being a CD or a TS. Please any advice would be helpful.

okay so my goal here is to help others like me and maybe find some help of my own along they way. this is a link to my youtube page where i talk about some things on being transgendered and just my life in general.. see ya there http://www.youtube.com/user/Jesslyngirl87

Hi Guys, I've just joined today and wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm a 35 year old married " male " from England with 2 children and I was diagnosed with GID last year. I knew I was a girl I think from the age of five, my first memories were nothing special. I acted like a girl because I am a girl, at that age I thought all girls had a penis so this didn't bother me, until my mother had a baby girl. I soon noticed the difference between me and my sister and I started wondering why I had this thing between my legs and she did not. From then on through my life when ever I acted like a girl or wanted to do effeminate things, I would be heavily chastised by …

Hi, i'm new to the group i am transgender mtf 49 heats old in the Portsmouth, NH area. Long story...I always knew i was supposed to be a girl, family hates me etc. Thanks for being here I have been (2 y ears ago) approved mtf by docs therapist :) So, i've been on estradiol and spiron... about 2 years now. So, i have had some feminine changes but not too much really. I know i'm a little older (i should have started this sooner i know but it was a difficult struggle). So, what happens next? I hope you don't mind a few questions. Thanks again Tammy

I'm currently 20 years old and had been thinking about my existence in the world. I truly think i was not born a boy but a girl. So therefore, i have a few questions i need to ask before i can start going throught the transformation process I heard about taking anti-androgens before taking estrogens/progesterone. is that a must and can someone explain to me why it is so? My figure had always been very girly, i am only 5'3 and my build is very tiny and not a bit muscular. Many times i had mistakened as a tomboy when i go out with a little bit of makeup on my face. is that a good thing? Also, what sort of process should i take in order to fully transform into a girl? i …

My son is in the other room slurping down his first solid foods (cereal in formula). It's freakin' hilarious ... he's grabbing at the spoon to try to get it in his mouth faster, and then once it's in there he shoves his fingers in to aid in the process... I think... Ahhh I live a strange life. It's a little like an ink-blot, depending on who looks at it and from what angle, it looks like two totally different things. I had some real momentum and steam built up in March, last time I posted on here, for giving up the last of my guy pretenses. Then a random set of occurrences happened. First, my relationship with my spouse developed some fractures. (Thankfully fixed n…

Hi Everyone This is just a post to introduce myself, My name is Mercedes, I am 34 years old and living in the U.K. I have started my real life experience on the 30th April this year. My doctor has already referred me to a psychologist (mainly for depression and anxiety) after a few sessions (about 6) I got discharged from her, and referred for cognitive behaviour therapy, my doctor has also started me on hormone treatment, first she started me on an Estraderm TTX patch (They didn't agree with me a brought me out in rashes) she then changed the patches to Estraderm MX patch (these didn't stick well, and now she has put me on Estradot (these are so much smaller and stick …

Hey everyone! You guys can just call me Kay. I am a coming out mtf tg and am looking for some guidance from anyone who has any advice for a "newbie" like me:) I have known since before my adolescence that something was not right about me. But still need to get to that realization that has been trying to push its way up for a while now. Its really annoying, and confusing, and i just need some, well, guidance.I would like to better explain everything to anyone who wants to lend an ear. My thoughts, so far, are whether to decide to go through what i have read to be "transitioning". I know quite alot about it, but obviously what you "read" isnt always true. So i'm a little lo…

Hi all just a quick introduction. I am 50, live in Nassau Bahamas, married to a very supportive wife, have 2 daughters and a granddaughter, I am a lesbian if one needs labels. Far as I can find out I am the first and only medically diagnosed transsexual in the Bahamas. Pre op that is. I am a very open trans HIV GLBT activist. If you have any questions feel free. I did a TV interview down here this is part 1 you can follow through to part 4 An interview I did a few months ago http://www.msmnpa.org/issue19/pri2008_s04.php

Well, it has been six weeks since I made the appointment to see the endocrinologist... and the fateful day is November 1, this Thursday. I can't believe it's already this week (ZOMG!). But now that it's here, I have no idea what to ask. My mind is such the blank. And since I read up on so much on my own, I already know a great deal about medications and effects. I guess my only questions are (1) can you prescribe me hormones and get my insurance to cover it if possible and (2) what hormones should be prescribed? I did ask my wife to go with me, and after thinking about it for a bit and talking to her counselor, she decided it was a good idea -- if simply to have …

Hi, Im new here, just wanted to introduce myself. Im in Altoon Pa and looking to meet some friends, drop me a line if ya wanna ;)

Boo! Did I scare you? If I did, I'm worried. It's a forum post you big silly. If I didn't? ...I'll try harder next time, hehe. Hi everyone! I used to lurk here ( and post occasionally ) when I was younger! Recently, my thoughts have wandered to all you lot and I was curious, so here I am checking in. New look to the forum and it's awesome! The familiar faces I remember are still present, Hi Annie! For those who remember, I'm Melissa, I am a male to female transsexual ( that's why I'm posting here! ) and I started my therapy around 16 and my hormones just before 17, if I recall correctly. I am now halfway to my 21st birthday, time has flown, and my oh my I often f…

I don't know where they came from, if they're mostly fat or real breast tissue, whatever.. but I have enough of a chest to get a little concerned lately after hearing some of my lady friends talk about sagging. I know, I know... and there's probably not enough there to worry about yet. But besides that... they sort of stick out and jiggle more than ought to be there for a man's chest; and, well, I'm still pretending to be a man around things like work. So I've taken to wearing sports bras on a regular basis. It flattens me out a little for someone not doing a close inspection, it actually gives more definition to my chest from my angle (which feels good) and it puts to r…

Hello all, My name is Kya I am new to the forums and enjoy reading the various topics discussed. I can relate to much of it. I am a MtF, I have been on hormones and anti-androgens for about two months now and am already noticing A LOT of changes, all of which are exciting and anticipated. I am under the care of a physician as well as a therapist for the past year. Basically just maybe looking for a few other girls to befriend and maybe have contact so I don't feel so alone. I have a wonderful network of friends, I wish my family were more understanding they have disowned me for religious reasons. All the best Kya

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…

Hi, First off ill give a little background on myself. I'm 20 years old and currently living as a male. I have been seeing a therapist for about 2 months now who specializes in trans issues. I have recently went to a few support groups dressed as Briana, and found it opened doors in my mind. I found that more and more i want to start my transition.(the younger the better right?) These groups dont only allow me to go out dressed as Briana, but also help answer questions for me. I found that im not the only one and that many other people in my area have felt similar things as me their whole lives. I'm finally to the point where i will need to tell my parents who already h…

Hello, I'm not planning on transitioning but am still curious about the effects of hormones on emotional well being. One of the reasons I decided not to seek out hormones is I tend to be a worrier and almost never feel confident. My reasoning was, if I'm emotionally this way already, I'd really dislike it if hormones increased those more. For those who have dealt with alot of those feelings, how did hormones effect them in you? Thanks! MIWBJ

Hey, I dont know if this answer is possible for any of you but ill give it a shot. I live in New York, and was wondering what about hormones cost. I may be off health insurance for a few months but dont want that to delay me. Just wondering what on average they cost out of pocket? What are you girls paying for them? thanks <3 Briana <3

Since being on hormones, my "headlights" are always on. Is this a common effect of hormones? thanks for your help Kayla

hi, Lately i've been quite interested in the subtle differences between male faces and female ones and as such have been noticing that females tend to have fuller lips than males. do hormones have much effect on lips? or am I stuck with my really thin ones lol
