Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I've just had a, let's call it a quiet argument with my wife. She wants me to move to Cardiff with her and the children and come out as a gay man, instead of living as a woman. She said it will be easier for me, her and the children. as Cardiff is very transphobic, and so is her family. She also said that her family is also very welcoming and warm towards gay men,as her uncle is openly gay,and her family don't have a problem with gay or lesbians but transexuals is a whole different ball game. Later that night, I cried my heart out and I cried until I had no tears left. I then went out in my car at 2am in the morning and drove towards a cliff edge, I live near the co…

This is also for FtM's too, Sorry, I should have put that in the title, my apologies. You are in a place ( heaven, a different universe, where ever we begin ) and you have no form but are completely coherent and are intelligent. Standing before you are two children's bodies. One is a boy and one is a girl. You have to decide which one to be born in to. But there is a catch. If you choose the boys body you will live until a hundred years have passed, with a life free from illness, making many friends and have a family that loves you, you will be wealthy and not want for anything but there is no such thing as SRS/hormone therapy and GID has not been or ever will be …

I was reading an article online and it was basically saying that. Men who have GID and suppress it, are often violent, take extreme risks with their lives, and may even have OCD and other controlling behaviours. I will try and find this article, but I found it interesting because I had most if not all of these behaviours listed.

Hi, I'm Tessa and I just found out about these forums through twitter. I'm 23 and I've been transitioning for about 7 months now. It's strange, I heard stories of rejection pretty much everywhere on the Internet, so that's what I was expecting. Instead everyone in my life loves me more now. They say I've come to life and I talk more. I guess didn't hide depression as well as I thought I did. Anyways, I'm a senior in college and I'd like to see japan some day. I'm not really into anime as much as I was when I was 18, but their culture is so different that I'd love to experience that. I've got a friend that's moving over there for a year, so he can tell me all about it.…

I have seen a lot nice and positive stories on the tgguide with getting a real woman. But not a lot of stories from those how have had the SRS transition and there life experience after and how this feels now. For me this is very important to know how many positive or negative real life experience there are from after the SRS transition. Is it what you have expected? Are you really home in your new live? I myself like to go the hole way but have still some questions on how others have experienced it and watt I need to know and expect. I think a lot of us dealing with this issues have this questions. Sorry for all my spellings and grammar mistakes I hope you al…

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.

Hi girls. Everyday the feelings of being a girl are overtaking me. With every day that passes it feels as if I'm becoming more and more female. Is this because I've suppressed myself that much that now, that I have accepted who I am everything is " coming out " and I'm starting to become the person I truly am ? Damn this is frustrating, why are these feelings getting so intense. I was browsing the net today and stumbled upon some pictures of guys with their tops of and I got so turned on, I've never felt like this, I started fantasising about what I wanted them to do to me,needless to say I got myself a little too excited. I then sort of snapped back in to myself an…

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 …

Hi, I was thinking a few things through this morning and suddenly a realisation dawned upon me. Maybe this is me being to sensitive or just bias, or maybe I'm actually right in my thinking. That's why I've decided to post. I've started to notice that there seems to be a lot of tolerance for FTM Transexuals and society seems to " accept " them more than MTF Transexuals. Now I'm not suggesting for one minute that we go through more than FTM's of course not, or that FTM's have it easier that would be ridiculous as each of us has to battle this through to become who we are. Like I said, I maybe subconsciously bias, this is just my opinion of what I've seen and read, …

I was sitting at the PC, when my wife asked me if I'd paint her nails for her. I was like WTF !!?? So I painted her nails for her. never in 6 years of marriage has she asked me to do this for her. What was that about ?

I'm obviously a girl, I know this. I also know that I want to have the body of a girl, I'm also willing to have my testicles removed. But, when it comes to full SRS I'm like hmmm don't know if I want. Then I start to question myself if I'm really a girl. Surely a true transsexual want's the whole package ( excuse the pun ). Are there other transsexuals here who feel the same,is it normal to feel this way about your penis and wanting to keep it. btw, I was diagnosed with GID last year, just for information's sake. :lol:

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 …

so ive finally had enough and im leaving this website and others that i use, this whole transition is killing me and ive had enough. basicaly ive had enough and i dont care anymore and being on these websites dont help me at all. goodbye

I am happy and satisfied with the way my body is improving. Just recently the chubbiness in my belly is going away. My ribs are starting to show and the overall shape of my torso is thinning. This is making my breasts larger and my hips wider. I am very happy with what I want to get bigger (boobs and butt)is growing and my waist and muscles are getting smaller. I believe I have turned a major corner and by all looks of my body I will be very feminine and curvy.

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

I am a professional Videographer/producer. I am currently planning out and working on a project that I have been putting together for some time. It will be a DVD Video that offers make-up tips, but also will go far beyond that. I have been compiling many tips and tricks over the years and decided to put them into a video to help others. There are so many little tricks that I have accumulated from other transsexuals, crossdressers, drag queens, etc. that will help many to be become more passable as a female. Many of us need help to hide our masculine features and bring out our feminine features. There are so many simple little tricks that are surprisingly amazing and hel…

Since I haven't found much relating to breast enlargement using vacuum and direct manipulation, I wanted to share my experiences using these techniques. I wrote an article on this topic, and it is posted at: http://sites.google.com/site/sheebalibeda/home/breast-enlargement

Hello everyone! I hope I am in the correct forum for this message. I am very very possibly moving to the Baltimore area from Tampa FLorida for a new job. I am in need of local information. I was able to find some studio appartments for $450 per month but have no idea if its in a good safe area. If anyone has experience in the BWI area that can point my family to a SAFE both for crime and for TS friendly areas for reasonable cost that would be great! A commute on a bus or train to BWI for work would be nice if available but by car is not out of the question. Once a home is found then I will be in need of a new therapist, support network and of course safe entertainm…

I was just wondering how everyone learned how to talk sucsessfuly as a woman, pitch and language. So far anytime i try i just sound like a guy making fun of a girl :/ is there any thing out there that helps?

Hey everyone I’m somewhat new to the forum and currently I am in the debating stage of coming out to people about my GID. There are definite reasons to and not to, but I would like some input. A little history about myself ~ I’ve felt like I should have been a girl ever since my very first memories. Growing up I’ve always felt like I was born in the wrong body. When I was young, I never knew about people being able to alter their sex and I have always thought I would just be stuck with what I am born. It was very depressing for me growing up thinking that I would be stuck like this forever and knowing that we only live once, my life was such a waste. But in light of tr…

Would anyone like to swap bodies with me? Looking for attractive FtM in good shape who has not begun transition. Meet attractive MtF who has not begun transition but anxiously waiting a appropriate match. What if we could pick the perfect body and just transfer our minds to it. There would be a whole new industry of shopping for a body that fits. We know that this is currently impossible but in philosophy it is sometimes helpful to imagine the impossible to help us deal with the present. What if I could have the perfect body for me. Would I take care of it? Would I do the work required to keep it going. How would that perfect body change over time. How…

I am getting ready for full time test in general public and among family I am facing harder questions then I thought before. My mother used to read me a story about and ugly duckling that eventually becomes a beautiful swan. No matter how I look at it, As of now, my reality is that I am a better looking male than I am a female. I felt ugly in my first puberty and now I feel ugly in the second puberty. Please tell me there is hope. I am sure completing electrolysis will be a major positive change but will hormones do much more for the face beyond electrolysis. Even though I am a transsexual I keep asking myself why I want to change my body because most people …

Jessica mentioned on one of her videos that she used to sing all the time as a male and now she doesn't sing anymore. Why is that? What would be the reason for giving up singing in mtF transition? The voice is not supposes to change but do you ruin the tone quality or something else by forcing your voice to a different range?

My therapist is in the processing of preparing my recommendation letter for hormone therapy. She asked me how long I was full time. There was suddenly silence on the end of the line. I thought hormones were supposed to help me pass so that I could do the real life test? If I do real life on the jobs and with my current customers I have had for years and I were to fail the test, than I have told people that never would have had to know. I have extreme difficulty wearing thick make-up and my fast growing beard. I need the hormones to help slow future growth for the follicles that get missed in electrolysis. Do hormones make electrolysis more difficult to …

HELP ! Does anyone know (or have a link to) what are the current passport rules for transgender people? I heard a rumor that if you are having your surgery within 12 months, they let you put your female gender on your passport, (as long as you have therapist letter), and they will give you a temporary one good for a year. Someone else told me that had been extended to 18 months. Anyone know what the current rule is? I am planning my surgery for August of 2011 with Dr. Brassard in Montreal. Thank you.
