Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hello all these are just some observations I've made along my journey. I would love to know if any body has had similar or contradictory experiences. I still haven't changed my name or gender so all my paperwork appears as my old male self. When I present my I.D. I get a long pause as the person's brain re-aligns. I'm not good at reading faces, so I don't really know what kind of reaction they are having. Most of the time I've been treated kind. One time when I was getting some tests done at the VA a medical tech came out to the waiting room and announced "I need Richard LASTNAME". Sheepishly I approached her. "Richard LASTNAME" she says again in a louder voice. I'…

I'm not sure how I should start this or what way to word what I need to say, so I guess I will start from the start; I know I have always liked women and I don't see that changing any time soon. But I have always had problems with the way in which my body looks, I'm never the right weight, I either see myself as too heavy or too skinny; this causes my weight to fluctuate a lot of the time. I don't see a Males body when I look at myself a lot of the time, I have wide hips, quite narrow shoulders and a fairly small waist. But this isn't exactly what I am here to chat about, I have always gotten on better with and been myself more around women or gay lads; around straight la…

Hi Girls, Reading about the family problems of Chen Ming, I almost feel hesitant to write about my own situation. The things I am experiencing seem insignificant compared to his. I spoke to my parents on the phone for nearly an entire minute. I wanted to tell them about my plans to start HRT at the end of the month and the appointment I made with one of the best SRS surgeons in Thailand. They weren’t interested. They said they were too busy to speak to me. Fortunately, Pantau wasn't too busy to see me and we spent some significant time together. These days I identify with transsexuals and I start to feel upset if anyone consider transsexuals to be freaks. Opening up…

Please repost this video everywhere you can !!!!! I am trying to have my children find it and have them know their Daddy still loves them and always will !!!!!! If you have lost your children due to your transition, please, I need your help !!!! I am losing my mind !!!!! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=2qurZ3ZJlqk

I finally sat down with my wife today and talked about the whole transexual thing and we've decided to divorce. We've both agreed on joint custody and to file for divorce. I'm very sad, but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I think I had fallen out of love with her a long time ago, but I still love her, if that makes any sense. She just couldn't accept me taking hormones and becoming a female as she put it. I think she sees this as making her a lesbian, and with her extreme Christian background I can understand this. But I'm still a bit upset at the fact the her love was conditional. I thought the point of marriage was to love each other no …

There is a plethora of information, tips and advice available for women regarding intimate hygiene and grooming in books, magazines and on the Internet. Try looking for similar information specific to pre-op T-girls and you come up cold. Personally, I would have lapped up stuff like that when I started to seriously consider transition, and I’m sure todays and tomorrow’s new girls would as well. I know from what I’ve gone through and from conversations with T-girlfriends that intimate hygiene and grooming is too often a self-taught hit or miss thing for us pre-op girls as we go through our transitions. Most, if not all, of the existing advice for genetic girls makes…

Well I have an appointment for laser hair removal on my face on the 15th. Well, it's my consultation. I was priced at about £150-£200 per session,well, that's all of my spare cash gone if I go through with it, which I know I am. But they said it would take about 7-8 sessions on average. The sessions would be like every 8 weeks or so.

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

The following article takes you through what a transwoman went through while searching for a new job. There are several things to take note of e.g. the person was addressed with the incorrect pronouns and others followed suit because that is what they heard, not saw. These things happen not simply in job interviews but other parts of a trans person's life too. For those who identify as trans should consider who you would handled this putting yourself into their position while keeping in mind this position may very well be the only one available to you, if you don't get it you have no job.

I started HRT on November 10, 2017 and now that my health insurance deny me again and stats breasts augmentation surgery is not cover in my insurance. I have United Health Care Community Plan it’s NYS Medicaid. The surgeon I pick exams me on March 8, 2018 in his notes say I achieved size A cup. I can’t believe the doctor mess my chance to get breast augmentation/ reconstruction surgery. I ask the surgeon office if they do work with transgender female and going by their word. I still wear no bra. Everyone I interact with is really delaying me to achieve my goal. I feel so hopeless and being deny is just making me depressed more. I turn 40 on November 26 2018. My…

I went to the post office to pick up a registered mail package today The lady said, can I see your drivers license? I said sure, here's my license. (keep in mind I haven't updated my legal stuff yet to have my new girl name, or new girl pic yet, but will soon) The lady at the counter said: well, this is all very nice, but who are you? I need to see your drivers license. LMAO. I said, well, that is me, for a little bit longer until I get all of my legal paperwork changed. She said, Oh my goodness, I am so sorry, you look great, I didn't even suspect anything at all. She apologized, went and got the package After she came back,. we talked f…

When a Forehead Reduction Procedure Makes Sense This coming Thursday I'm going to have facial surgery including a forehead reduction. Very timely that I came across the above post yesterday. It's expensive — I'm appealing Kaiser's coverage refusal — but for me I feel my forehead is such a noticeable and impossible to hide feature that others subconsciously use to misgender me. Crossing my fingers. I worry more about this surgery more than GCS and breast augmentation. Even if it all turns out okay (which I expect) I must be extremely careful through this year to avoid sun exposure that will darken the scars permanently. I have several hats already and ordered an…

I know, from the handouts accompanying my prescribed estrogen, progesterone and spironolactone, as well as reading articles at certain websites, there can be potential serious or relatively minor ill side effects. I have experienced being lightheaded once and temporarily stopped taking these hormones. Occasionally i experience moderately discomfort in my lower stomach, which I do not know if my taking hormones may be a factor. I wonder if anyone has or knows of anyone who had serious side effects from using estrogen, progesterone and/or spironolactone. Thank you.

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…

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…

Hi I'm new here. I'm a 16 year old male. or at least I thought I was until a month ago. That's when I realized I was Transgender. So a few days ago I finally Decided that I wanted to start changing. But I don't know we're to start....So I was wondering for those who have made the journey from mtf what was your first step? Thanks....

I had to wait a couple days to post this so that I knew I could keep some composure. My wife and I were at Walmart a couple days ago. We had a few things we needed to pick up, and when we go, we always hit up the movie aisle to see what’s out. 95% of the time it’s just window shopping, and we’re the only ones there, so we take our time. I was at the spot where the racks end before another one starts. I wasn’t in the aisle I was on the end of the rack looking at a couple DVD’s. There was an older man standing there looking at me, as if I was in his way. There was more than enough space if he wanted to go by me. When I was done looking at the movies I wanted to look at…

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…

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…

I just emailed a letter coming out to my parents. I wonder if this feels similar to what it would be like to hit the button that starts WWIII. Nothing to do but to sit back and wait for the return fire.

Ever since I hit puberty I've thought to myself "this is wrong". Now I'm 25 6'6" 185lbs and I really want to switch. But I don't know if my height will be a problem. Please, some advice would be great.
