Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I am more like a girl in how I feel and perceive things but I am born male and live a male life. I am married with a son who I care for more than anything else. I have been a crossdresser since the age of 5 and I have dressed through the years with purge periods. I am very comfortable buying womens clothes and very excited when I can wear them. Obviously I am in the closet. My transgender side is strong and I feel more like a girl. How can I learn to deal with this? Thank you. emmi

My testes have been hurting lately. I will take that as a good sign that they are going away.

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 …

I don't really have the chest for the dress ideas, but I'm going to start working on repurposing some of my button-downs as skirts. I've already got some in mind that have perfect patterns for Spring attire and maybe one I can use this Fall if it's not too chilly and if the cut isn't too weird.

Well I really disappeared there for a while. Since my last post a whole lot in my life has happened I guess. I was in another car accident on Oct 1, where a girl ran a stop sign, and so I was without a car for about 6 weeks (got a new one last month). It wasn't a bad accident though. There have been many layoffs at work, but I survived since my manager is leaving soon. In fact I've been promoted. I came out to my family (finally) and they've not talked about it since... the only people who I've still yet to tell is upper management, which will have to be very soon... My relationship situation has changed dramatically. Initially I broke up with my long term gir…

I had an appointment with my endrocologist and he said he will give a referral for ANY procedure. I am still on cloud 9. After all these years of self loathing and doubt, of losing my job and getting divorced, of thinking that I was crazy or some k ind of pervert, I find out that I am not crazy or perverted and that that the light at the end of that tunnel is getting brighter. MY words keep running off the page so I'll get to hte end and say for everyone going thru this Keep your head up. Now the expensive stuff begins. A question. Would an orchide…

I had posted a little while back about starting an antiandrogen and what its affects are. Well now I've been on that for a month or so and I am starting to have estrogen added into my dosage. I'm 19 how long before I start to see results like breast growth and fat redistribution?

Some weeks/months ago, Dear Abby made the news and the board when asked what should be done with the childhood photos where her brother-in-law is dressed as a little girl. She anticipated that children she would eventually have would ask questions if they saw the pictures. Well, of course they would! This week, in the Thursday paper, she printed the responses she received from several transsexuals. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned here, yet. "Our" advice universally agreed that she should ask her husband to approach his brother about the question and abide by his wishes. Abby took it all very well. Several letters expressed how we feel -- born in the wron…

Hi, I am new to thise site I just found it browsing around for a local support group in my area (none to be found). I guess a little about myself would help. I am 24 years old, i have known that I am really a woman since I was 12 years old but have always been to scared to out myself. Instead i have spent the past 12 years of my life masking it the best I can. Always hanging with the guys got into "extreme sports" etc just to fit in. It has been slowing eating at me for the past 3 years the urge to finally be myself. I feel like i cant keep living the sharaid of being a man anymore. I want to come out to my family and loved ones so bad and start working towards my goal …

Hello everyone, Well I have to make a confession, I use wigs. My hair seems to rebel against any desire of growing it long. So I need to use wigs. However, I can not find a wig that stay on my head. Can you tell me how to buy a wig and where? Andrea

My wife just made a realization that even though she loves me through all of this, what is society going to label her? She stated that people will assume she is a lesbian just by hanging out with me. I never thought much about that because I have been so focused on letting go of the pain I have held in all of these years. This attitude people have to make such assumptions is simply wrong. I know in my heart the real answer but what can I say to my wife to help her understand. She thinks I am self-centered and foolish for giving into feelings that in her opinion are going to destroy us. I know my wife is not a lesbian but her fear of being considered one tells…

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.

My family knows but has a hard time…

As some of you may know, I am working on becoming a woman 24X7 Towards that goal, I have worn my fingernails painted with pink nail gloss to work this week. The ladies love the way my nails look, I had several of them stop by today, and say wow, that looks fantastic, great job. They took a poll for the next color I should wear, they want to see my nails in sparkly gold next week. the guys aren't so sure, a few of them just sort of looked at me, like hmmmm. .

Hi all, I've been searching around to see if I can find anyone that does laser hair removal as the woman see at the salon I go to for waxing said that laser would be better for me than any other means of removing hair from the beard area. I've not been able to find anyone in theSouth West UK Somerset area (I'm based in Yeovil) by searching online. Does anyone have any recommendations for anyone? I'm happy to travel a reasonable distance, say up to and hour and half or 40 to 50 miles. Thanks Jenny

I am on cloud 9, I had an e-mail yesterday from someone in the local gender service, that I will have my second opinion and assessment for surgery at the same time sometime soon in the New Year. They are contacting my PCT to request the funding be released, once it is, I will be referred to Mr Terry, and if that goes well, they anticipate surgery by mid 2009. Its been the best news of my life. xx Stephanie

Nicole Kidman: a transsexual married to Charlize Theron (Marie Claire Magazine) - http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrit...ize-theron.html Looks like it could be an interesting movie. Charlize Theron hails from my (southern) neck of the woods, and has quite a following here. Has anyone read the book (The Danish Girl)? Jilli
