Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have written much of anything. I have been very busy lately but I never stop thinking about the whole process of transition. Much has changed for me since I have been on hormones. It has been four weeks now and I am learning a lot. I am going to share my experience and it would be interesting if others felt similar to me but I also recognize that no two experiences between individuals will be exactly alike. The first couple of days I was excited an unsure of what I would feel. Soon after my first dose I felt light and giddy for the next few days after I would wake up in the morning very pleasant and happy What I did…

Hello ladies, I am hoping someone can provide me with some advice about my HRT regimen. I have been on HRT for 3 years now. There was an increase in my dosage after the first 6 months but none since. Some others have told me lately that my dosage may be too low. I have been doing some research on the web and it may appear that it is. I plan on speaking with my doctor next week about this I would love and appreciate and advice anyone can provide to me. Thanks so much :)

On 7/26/10 I changed my name and since then I have been in a bit of a tizzy , I want to move forward now .

Hello, my name is Rachel. I am 35 and I identify as a transgendered person. I am pre-operative, pre-hormone, pre- pretty much everything basically. But I am in therapy or counselling and have been for about 2-3 years now and have made some strides in coming to terms with who I am and how I wish to live. I am still fairly new to this situation and not sure about many things but I do know that I wish to express my honest feminine leanings and self. I posted a few photos so be kind and don't judge too harshly. I am a very sensitive, shy person and this whole coming out thing has not been entirely easy on me emotionally. I have lost a few close friends since coming out…

Well, well, how things have changed for me. Where do I start ? As you know a few weeks ago I was extremely depressed and had thoughts of suicide,due to the fact that my wife was thinking of divorcing me and threatening to take my children away from me. I have now decided to divorce her and will be serving papers on ASAP. I will looking at a new house about 30 miles away from my current location to start my new life there. I've also been informed by a friend who is a Solicitor, that when she divorces me, it's not going to go to well for her as she is an extreme right wing Christian and that it is discrimination on medical grounds against me because I have been diagnose…

Yesterday was truly a first for me. I had opened my paper One Hanes Place catalog and spotted the camisole style shapewear and I just had to have one right then. As I tore out the order form I noticed "check out our outlet stores." Since there's a Tanger Outlet Center just down the road, I did just that. Yay, there's a Bali outlet!! I also needed a haircut and wanted acrylic nails, so I decided to take the car for an oil change at the Sears auto center at another mall between home and the outlet store and get some breakfast, a wash and whacks and a manicure while I was there. I've resumed wearing my gel-enhanced bras so I decided to wear a polo for a change. It s…

Well I just found out that my brother is getting a divorce.After 24 years he says that they have just grown apart.I dont know I have never been married but I always thought that when u get married u have found they person that u want to share the rest of your life with.About 6 years ago my other brother got a divorce from his wife but with them they fought all the time and they had a daughter so then I felt that fighting around there daughter was not a healthy environment so a divorce was really for the best.What really gets to me is they dont see my side Im not in a relationship so I dont have that other person to lean on or just to grow old with.I dont think they see ho…

One of the first questions I faced when talking to people about being transgender and married to a woman was that they asked how that could be possible because they thought I would be gay. Around here we all know that gender identity and orientation are separate matters though they are also often related. I thought hard about the female mind and looked deeper into what types of attraction I had for both sexes. I supressed my femininity so much that I didn't face the reality of what kind of attraction I had for men. All I can say is that to me I like both men and women, but it is so difficult for me to understand this myself because what I hear on the news an…

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 …

Dear All, My partner girlfriend a love still so deeply has a new love. I have spoken with her about this new love and I see she needs it but it hurt me so much, I cry the hole day. For her it is the best and I know for me to, but it hurt and breaks my hard. I wrote her the following message with tears all over my face. “From the bottom of my hart you best girlfriend Antoinette, I have asked GOD to assist you with help, warmth, strength and wisdom. Remember the days we have been permitted to do so spiritual, I hope we can always continue until the end of time. I also hope you can forgive me that I hurt you so much, I hope you will accept me as your new girlfriend…

So I was thinking today (and this is probably the wrong area to post this question to everyone but whatever) and I was thinking back on my life and I thought to myself: Who was the first person I saw that I found out was trans or a crossdresser that kinda changed my life or made me realize that I could transition? Maybe its kinda an odd question but it really got me thinking. The answer I came up with (and im sure no one will remember the reference im about to make) but I remember when I was just starting in college and a show on MTV came on called "I want a famous face" and it was all about younger adults who wrote into the show saying why they deserve cosmetic su…

On two occasions, I have had what I refer to as 'transsexual feelings'. My journey toward the transsexual conundrum has begun. Last year in June I declared myself as a transgenderist. I felt equality comfortable as masculine and feminine. A few days after that declaration I had the transsexual feelings. Fast forward to June of this year and those feelings came again only stronger this time. The feelings happened again a week or so ago. When I came out as a cross dresser over five years ago, I felt a kinship with transsexuals. I had two incidents which may explain what I'm feeling. I was ma'amed by a man while coming out of a store. I was dressed in male clothi…

So, during the past 4 years have been active in the community and completing my transition, I've met plenty of different types of people, different genders, different sexualities, different races, etc. The one thing I noticed alot of was the lament of trans women who cannot forsee SRS in their future be it due to financial strains or physical issues that will bar them from surgery or at least create a situation where the risk outweighs the gain. However, I have also met a large group of self identified females who have the meansfor surgery, but rather, choose NOT to have it. I have always been curious as to the reasons, but, understanding its a hot button issue, I…

Fall classes will be starting soon and I am going back to school for the first time in more years than I care to remember. I was just wondering how many have retrained or switched to a more gender matching job and how well it has worked for you?

Life has taken a big turn for me as of late. Everything that I thought would be concrete and last forever is coming down all around me. I should have known that this would happen. I guess I took too many things for granted and just expected that things would just go on as normal. I have deeply hurt the one I love and have now lost her, there is no going back. I cannot undo the truths that have been spoken. The truth is that since my accident in November of last year that so nearly cost me my life I have spent time taking a real good hard look at myself and something that has been with me all of my life that I have struggled so hard to keep under control has finally broken…

I've noticed a lot of talk here about sex, especially people who self identify as mtf transsexual talking about continuing sexual relations with their wives or girlfriends in more or less traditional (ie boy-girl) ways. While I certainly don't pretend to know all the answers, I do know this - that being a mtf transsexual means that you want to physically be a girl to match your emotional and intellectual identity. And, if you're serious, that will include hrt, which after a relatively short time (for me about 3 months) makes continuing in that way (boy-girl) not physically possible, nor in my case, desirable. The desired outcome of hrt is the eradication of male chara…

I have an appointment to see my gender therapist on the 2o=0th July. That's cool and everything but my wife wants to come along to the sessions, to hear what the therapist has to say and to hear what I say to the therapist. She said she still doesn't believe I'm transgendered and that we haven't explored all avenues and she won't quit on me until we've explored every avenue. I was like WTF, it seems as if I'm a kid and she is my mom taking me to see a docotor to find out what is wrong with me. How do I talk her out of this or what do I say to her. I have no idea what to do ?

Dear all, I'm started with Herbals to change my hormonal system. It works but slowly and steady, slower hair grow, breast grow and more feelings towards my changes to Female. Less sex drive. But my body shape is ad this moment not changed. Also my mood and depressions went a way. I'm reading a lot on taking the hormonal treatments. And like to start on it as soon as possible. I like to have some live information from those having had the hormonal treatments. Did it changed the emotions, feelings, mood swings, body and did you like this changes? Love Hanske.

Hey everyone, I've finally taken the plunge and decided to create my own You-Tube channel. Now it and myself may be a little rough around the edges but please give me a chance. My channel can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/MissEmmaSummers I decided to make it to talk about what my experiences of being Transgendered has been like and also to answer many questions people might have. I also wanted it to be a record of my transition. I love you all loads, Emma xxx

I had a long discussion with my wife and we know now we can not stay together. It will take time to separate and live my own way as a woman. She cannot bear it to see me changing. It will take time to heal the wounds we have for the love we have for an other
