Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I am still waiting to get some more advanced professional counseling with my desire to transition but through the years I have given much thought to Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) because I have always been so uncomfortable with the male genitalia. Most of you have coped with the problem for some time and I am curious if any of you can relate to these thoughts. I will do my best to present the rated G PG version by being more technical in the language please let me know if there is another place to transfer this post. When you have made a loving commitment to your wife and then hit her with the truth about being unhappy in your body it raises all kinds of questions a…

Hi all do any of you have a court order for a gender/sex marker change. It never been done in the Bahamas and the Judge said he would like a precedence. Would you please send a copy to me. vickytg@hotmail.com

I wonder if this has happened to any of you . I have had a 15 year plan of transition and as I have always taught my students "plan your dives and dive your plan , no variation " I have always applied that philosophy to my life and now I am the one wanting to violate the rule.I have moved slowly since accepting who I am and now that I have taken that step of changing my name I find I am wanting to go all in and get done . There are so many risks , I regret not changing my first name but were I to do so I would lose my job ( Missouri has no gender protection laws ). My wife is disabled and requires a great deal in medical and prescription cost as do I for that matter and …

there have been a few posts made in recent weeks about wives, and female partners and SOs. and it dawned on me that while women are more likely to be accepting of TG/TS individuals...heterosexual and homosexual women react differently in relationships. some heterosexual women make it quite clear they want nothing to do with their MTF partners. they want the "man" they married, or the "woman" can get the hell out. and then there seem to be quite a few very accepting wives, who've decided to stay and build a new and/or different relationship. they stay with their MTF spouses despite the fact that these women are not lesbians, knowing that is probably how the outside…

So...I'm new to this forum. Thought I would get that out of the way. I've been on HRT now since 2005. Lately I'm noticing that no matter what I do I keep gaining weight. When I started HRT I was at 145 lbs. I've been low carb ever since 2002 and I don't cheat. I'm 53 now and I noticed the weight gain started around 48. I'm now at 199 and I just keep gaining. I'm training with a personal trainer 2 times a week, I attend team training 2 times a week and I do yoga 2 times a week. Getting super frustrated and depressed. Any insights would be welcome at this point.

I just ordered a pair of cheap breastforms. I was wondering if anyone knew anything reliable about adhesives and breast forms. Anny recommendations? Will it damage them? How easy is it to remove or am I screwed as soon as I try? I was thinking spirit gum might work, but that might be overkill. Theres some stuff called for stockings, I dont know if that would work or how well. Theres a bunch of different tape type adhesives for wigs and such. Can anyone here tell me how to stick it?

There are many reasons why we cannot marry but so many more reasons why we should be able to. I stand before the many people who regard trans marriage as blasphymous or unmoral, great everybody has that right of opininion. But when it fringes on the happiness and well being of individuals in our country it's just plain very sad!!!Are we not citizens of this country,paying taxes and obeying laws and statutes. Doesn't our voice have say and ultimatley do we not have the right of freedom of gender and all the benefits that come with it. Religion Fanatics always has a way to weasel its way into politics. Suddenly religion claims that individuals do not have the right to "live…

anyone here that can offer help from a personal perspective. My husband has always hid his real identity behind a real macho, egotistical, argumentitive personality. We have been together for 18 years and have 2 very young children. Over the past 12 he has slowly started to integrate the feminine side of who he realy is into our relationship. His anger has been his most dominate personality trate, it has caused so much heartache with us, but we always work things through. Just recently he confessed who is inside his head and the turmoil he has endured trying to keep his head in reality, knowing his sex is male but his head says he is female. He is scared I will leave, …

Hello everybody! It's been a while since I've checked in here. Life, and my other internet haunts, have kept me busy. I see there are still a lot of familiar faces here, so in a way it's like I never left. A lot has happened in my life, and I don't intend to bore you with the details, but one major event has occurred which I intend to share with you all. I have a girlfriend! Not just any girlfriend mind you, but somebody who is taking much the same path I have taken. We are both trans women, all be it in very different stages of transition. While I have completed transition, she is just beginning. She still presents male full time, and is right now in the process…

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 …

Hi my name is eddy transgender person who wants to be a women. I've had this feelings since i was 9 or 10 yrs old maybe younger but i just came out to some people i know and my doctor. Its taken me along time to accept who i am but now at 37 yrs old i can't fight the feelings anymore. I saw a therpist 7 yrs ago for this issue and she told me to go for it become a women but at the time i wasn't ready to accept it even thought i wanted to i couldn't everyone expected me to be a male. .My wife knows about it she knew before we got married but she thought she could change me and told me if god wanted you to be a women you would of been one. My family knows but has a hard time…

I need to get the facts about the pros and cons of each, and would like some opinions as well. I can’t decide which would be the best for not only GCS, but FFS as well. I’ve heard that Thailand is one of the best places in the world for trans procedures. But I don’t know if the US would be a better option as we have some amazing surgeons here too. So I need to know what everyone here says. And like I said, I’m wanting both facts and opinions.

This is a question for real transexauls. I have had thoughts of being female since the age of six when I stared looking in clothing catalogs. And I would say that I have never identified as a typical male. As I have gotten older I have had somewhat constant feelings of femininity. I have done crossdressing but at times I doesnt seem to be enough. If I had a choice I would choose to be a female. But because of family and religion mixed with fear. I don't know what to do. I have taken some natural hormone stuff to develope breast but stopped, since I feared being caught. I feel stronger than ever the urge to be female. Oh yeah i dont want to be a draq queen.My question is…

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 ;)

I'm simply courious what you girls have found to be the most difficult asspects of transitioning, Is it the facts that you loose the friends you have known your entire life, Is it the facts that the good job you have worked your butt off to get and keep, only to loose because you are now someone that they cant trust with thier clients ( what would they think about this sort of thing ) Is it the facts that our relationships will be torn into shredds by the fact that our partners didn't get together with us to be with someone that is the same sex as they are, ( they are curious at first but it will end badly to all our dismay it does happen that way) or is it just the facts…

What I have done for years is to have a pair of breast forms and a backup pair just in case. Well it appears my backup pair (never worn) will be collecting dust unless I sell them or give them away. So here is the deal, give me a really good reason to give them to you. I will allow this thread to be open for say a month or until I deem someone has provided a good reason why they should be given these forms. At that time I will have that person give me an address to ship them too and of course I will pick up the shipping. Let the games begin Forms, size 3 http://www.thebreastformstore.com/breast-form-store-gold-seal-classic2.aspx

Hey peoples. I am a judoka and recently fought at a competition. At 27 years old I am 5'11 and 155lbs. When I fought this weekend I fought in three matches to win gold in my weight class. One of my fights went into overtime and the other two were done under two minutes (the matches are timed for four). My question is, could I have had a competitive advantage? I trained hard for the fight and felt that my game plan helped a lot. However, do I really have to question myself if I win? What about all of my hard work training, didn't that mean a lot? Please do not hold back your opinions. I know this is a controversial subject. This is not me, but another transwoman who …

It doesn't seem to be talked about too much, it maybe taboo (imagine something “Taboo” on a TG forum, lol) or it just maybe because I don’t see many post-op girls here ... in any event I just thought I’d discuss for a moment “libido”, as it seems to have been on a rollercoaster ride beside me through all this. I know it varies for many Transwomen, whether it is pre or post transition and post GRS. For me; as a male I always had a variable libido depending on the partner and level of the relationship. It could however never have been considered low. In my last relationship as a male it was quite high in fact, Spironolactone didn’t even effect me at 1st (well I didn’t t…

I've been watchng a TV show lately about how humans evolved etc etc. This got me thinking to where Transpeople come in to evolution. I mean we must be here for a reason, if we served no purpose evolution/Natural selection would have discarded us a long time ago, but it seems transpeople have always been here for tens of thousnds of years, even in the most ancient of tribes we see trans people. Anyway thanks guys/girls for your replies, just a real mind boggler Melanie xx

Hi Everyone, I am a MtF currently living on the east coast. My lease is up here in 6 months, so late September of this year. I'm early in my transition but expect HRT progress will make this area unsupportive on many fronts soon thereafter. For that reason, I'm considering relocating to PDX. I lived in Eugene for several years so I spent some time in Portland. It seems like a very Trans-friendly city relatively from what I've read. I'd really, really appreciate anyone's advice or opinions on this plan including: - How trans-friendly is Portland? - What neighborhoods in the city or in the outskirts are most accepting and safe? - Therapist recommendations? - …

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

I picked up my first bottle of Prometrium tonight on the way home.

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

Greeetings Has anyone used the injectable pellet therapy? I am talking about these little tablets the size of grain of rice that is inserted into the butt, stomach, thigh, etc. It would seem like the perfect option for the estrogens. They are bioidentical and you would only need a "refill" every 4-6 months. To be a little cynical here... I have posed this question on other boards and have gotten little response. Could it be that so many are taking hormones without a Drs oversight (ie. meds over the net)? These would definately need a Drs intervention to get them. Thx. Leslie

My Partner recently made a trip home to see family (we’re from the same home town), I chose (sadly) not to go as my relationship with some of my family (especially my Dad) is strained at best ... less then a week after my partner returned, I spoke to Dad ... it’s been over 10 months since we last spoke (almost 2yrs since I came out). I cried ... after all the things I thought I’d say or wanted to say none of it came to mind at the time. I called to speak with Mom but for some reason he decided to answer it, they have caller I.D. and he’d stopped answering when I call and just hand the phone to Mom. Yesterday, I heard the gruff “Hello”. 1st I froze ... I have to stop to t…
