Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

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…

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…

I know its a pain in the A$$ but im going to college and well..college girls are kinda poor lol. I know Andrea James is against it but has anyone had success in self electrolysis. I can make time for it if I know i wont be spending thousands on 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?

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.

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 …

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

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 everyone Im rather new to this site, but not to the trans community. I have been struggling with my own GID for a very long time now. I was ready to start councling about 3 years ago but then I ran into financial issues and have had to put it on hold. Now that I have saved up a good amount of money I am ready to start the process again. I am just absolutely amazed at the strength and courage many of you ladies have, especially the ones that have started HRT, and I hope within the next year or two to begin my own. I am 26 and don't want to start my transitioning too late in life to not enjoy it. I would love to hear from all of you about your experiences and…

Hello, I been transitioning for almost a year think around 10 months. The thing I have been dealing with everything, lost of job might be related or not. Getting medical treatments, therapy, and prescription; Honestly, it has been difficult, but I am not bothered by it. I deal with more issues from society now then been. I have been keeping a video log and thought others might be interested in seeing. The video log is http://youtube.com/averyny Do not mind the name because I need to change it. Vivianne

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.

Bonnie i know you were planning on moving out of your house the first of March, did it go ok? Stressful situation just making sure you are ok. If you already posted about it here sorry, i have no luck searching for stuff sometimes.

I'm 18 and financially dependent on my mom Who along with the rest of my family is deeply religious and I'm struggling with how to deal with this or even whether i have the nerve to go through with the trans gender thing because no offense but it goes against everything i was raised with. I think that if i told my mom she would still love me but i fear our relationship would suffer .Also, my Closest cousin is somewhat homophobic so imagine how she would feel about me. i just feel like if i did this i might lose everything and everybody i knew.I also feel guilty for feeling like this and i was wondering if therapy would ever make you feel differently about things. I gues…

Today marks my 23rd month of being out full time. Almost 2 years of finally being comfortable with my own body (well, except for one part, which I hope to replace with a feminine part next year). It's been an amazing journey. Not only do I feel like I am finally living my life as I should have been from day one, I've had a lot of fun the last 2 years as well. I've done some things that most 51 year old tgirls haven't done, heck, I've probably done some things that most 51 year old GG's haven't done. In 2009, I was on stage dancing at a straight strip club beside 21 year old GG's, and I was having a blast. The girls there had no idea I was a transsexual until m…

here goes just a very short description , well was diagnosed transexual 2 and a half years ago by gender therapist and done nothing about it since due to not wanting to upset my family , what should i do ?

So I am about to get medi-cal and I was wondering if anyone knows of a doctor that will take medi-cal insurance. Current looking for laser,trach, and srs for medi-cal to cover but I need to find the Doctors first for the surgeries. thanks for you help in advanced

Is there any information on how common the various conditions in transgender are in the populaton. I would be most interested in U.S. population and location, I see there is map on this site but I am wondering if there is any recent scientific study with some current data. I would hope that the info would include the homosexual population as well. I am also curious about those who who never come out. Obviously there is some guessing involved but has there been any type of study or survey recently that might be useful.

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 everyone! My name is Kareal and I was just dropping by to say hello!! I was just recently diagnosed with GiD after 31 years of self doubt (Im 35). I haven't come out to my family yet but i had been married for 10 years. Wife found out about diagnosis and left me. Took our children with her (1, 5, 8). But thats in the here and now and I know one day my children will come to see me again. Ill be on these forums and a couple others but I wanna say howdy doody! ~Kareal

I am starting this forum because I am now at the point where I have realized some very strange things. This is a mixture of observation, theory and opinion, I welcome your input... I get along great with women because that is who I identify with But women have always seen the my outward male shell. They thought it was great getting to know me because we always got along so well together. If I change my outward shell to match what is inside then the women from before have lost the man on the outside who they thought was a man. They may very easily feel betrayed and even weird because they were sexually attracted to me before and now they wonder if that makes…
