Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

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 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.

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 …

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

well im a GG and im not really sure if im a friend or a "REALLY" close friend of this person. ( I them ) i care for them alot. they are currently trying to figure their road out M2F. well they asked me what i thought about taking a low dose of estrogen through a patch. im a little worried that it might effect their chance of getting what they really need from their doctor. and i dont really know too much to actually say anything. and i dont want to stand in the way im really supportive. its just i dont want them to jump so fast without thinking about the risks. well i said as long as they knew all the facts and details then i dont see why not. they said they would…

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…

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 …

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?

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…

This One is worth reading about.... I have tried something that very few people may have the energy for, but it was very interesting. I have posted more detailed information in my blog on breast stimulation but I am not sure the general public can view it. To summarize what I have done is related to Male Lactation information on the web. I discovered wonderful feelings by using a breast pump that my wife no longer used since she had weaned our latest child off, little over a year ago. I would have paid for this information long ago, because it was so helpful but I learned through experimentation and the little bit of info online. I probably could make money…

Hi everybody. I am new to this forum, so I hope there are other people who can share their advice and experience. I had my SRS about a year ago which is the best thing that ever happened to me. To make long story short, and to the point of this topic, I was told before I had SRS that in order to be orgasmic after the surgery, I should masturbate as frequently as possible so that I could be orgasmic after surgery. I must say that this was not an important thing for me - the importnt thing was to get rid of the nasty thing between my legs and be whole. Anyway, I masturbated whenever the hormones would allow me to, which is the most disgusting thing I have ever done, b…

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.

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?

I know that some of us have had counseling and have gotten through what has happened to us in the past. I know i have but i still don't hide it and i am open to talk about it. Hey oprha winfrey also talks about her past abuse. I just think that much of this potential abuse does direct us in our preferences both pre and post transitioning. Personally, i was sexually abused ( / beaten naked with a radiator brush and my body was aligned to get erection with the use of the nuns habit/cloth) by a nun at 12 yrs old. I ended up in a mental hospital at 13 and 14 for two times of 4 months long. Once it was for wearing womens clothing. I was also sexually abused by other ki…

just wanted to let everyone know that i have just been kicked out of my house and basically my family. they dont accept what im becomming and said its an embarasment to the family. so i wont have internet but im looking forward to being on whenever i can. ill just be searching for a job and living on my friends couches and my car. its a wonderful life like this. i hate it, why we got cursed with this problem i have no idea but no one accepts it.

TODAY IS MY TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF BEING OUT FULL TIME. I AM A VERY HAPPY GIRL TODAY. I got up at 6, went to the beauty parlor at 7, got my hair and makeup done, then I went off to my therapist at 11. Tonight I am going to a party to celebrate being out full time for 2 years. (and now getting letter #1 for SRS) At my appointment with my therapist this morning, she did the one letter I need for SRS. She also gave me a congratulations on your "graduation" card with a nice note inside and a couple of beautiful keepsakes as well. On May 1st, I should get the second letter approving me for SRS. YEA, SRS in 2011 here I come. Bobbie Jo

So I am working up the power to come out to my partner. Really scared everytime i even think about it but i know it needs to happen as the first step to anything. If i can manage it i want to come out this afternoon after work. anyone have any pointers or tips or things to say to hopefully make it easyer for them to understand and take? I am hoping her love for me is as strong as my love for her and she will see through this and still want to be with me, but i know i have to be prepaird for it to not go that way :(

How do you go about finding a doctor for hormone therapy? do you have to be refered to one from a psycologist or do you just go to any doctor and ask about it?

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 …

Sometimes I'm confidant that I can transition and others i feel like its impossible so I was wondering if anybody felt this way when they started out and how they dealt with it.

I was wondering if anybody heard about this "Switching a Gene in Adult Mice Easily Transforms Females Into Males" and what you think it could mean for our community. http://current.com/153uq4c
