Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hi everyone, I am Rebecca, Becki to all my friends (and I hope you will be my friend). I have felt like a girl almost all my life. It started when I was just 3 and wore a borrowed dress, panties, knee socks, and maryjanes for a Halloween costume. The was the night I realized why I wasn't really happy. While in that dress, i felt so right. After that day, every time i was over playing with my best friend, Amy, I got to wear on of her cute outfits while we played with her dolls. I even got to have a sleep over with her a few times while growing up. It was so much fun, just the two of us sitting around in our jammies, doing our nails, eating popcorn and discussing thin…

Hello everyone! I am new here and thought I should introduce myself. My name is Megan and I am a transexual woman living in Virginia. I have known all of my life who I am, but for the better part of 30 years was too afraid to embrace it for fear of hurting people I love. I still have that fear but am more afriad of what might happen if I continued to live a lie. Right now I am working with a therapist, having my facial hair removed, am newly active in a support group, hoping I will be given the okay to begin hormone therapy and living as a woman about 25% of the time. I am out to the people I am closest with and all have been more accepting and supportive th…

Hello. I went into the F2M forum by mistake, silly me, but I did notice they have a pinned F2M introductions topic. Just curious why we don't have the same. Take care, HL.

Is it just me, or do you too find the term shemale, not only very incorrect but also very offensive? Now don't get me wrong, (Im not having a go at ANYONE - Im just having a B.i.t.c.h) but that term, "shemale" to me invokes images of things that I don't even want to talk about. Now Im not a prude either and have been around the block once or twice (or five times) it just that, well you know....... We are not shemales....we are people, with hearts, emotions and feelings, We are not "things" to be treated with contempt and disrespect. As humans everyone has a god given right to be treated with respect by their fellow man, and as a Trans person, or as a trans community we a…

Hi my name or the name I want is Amber I’m currently 19 and living in Canada I’ve had a feeling since before I was In high school that I wished I was a woman or that I wasn’t comfortable in my own body. After my first year at university I met some people and told them what I’m feeling I want to transition, but I’m scared That I might be doing the wrong thing. Is it to late to transition at 19 and if so does anyone have any tips?

As I live in Thailand carrying out research on T-matters, I wondered why all Thai transsexuals are sexually orientated towards men. I haven't met anyone yet who changes from boy to girl and then turns into a lesbian. My husband is a SRS surgeon in Bangkok and most of his clients are western transsexuals. He is always surprised to learn that most of them are (or have been) married (with children) and their sexual orientation is towards women. In Thailand this fenomenon is quite unusual. Although there are more transsexuals than streetlights in Thailand, they haven't been married to women before they transitioned. Kind regards... Pantau (I am myself 25 years post-op (tra…

Hi all, I'm post-op and looking for a doctor to manage my hormones who takes medicare in the Portland, OR area. Thanks a bunch!

Does anyone have much experience or advice on how to help older children of those who proceed with transition, in terms of providing them with a positive role model of the gender no longer "represented" in the family? Some of us might see the parents' genders are irrelevant; and yes, I do think a best outcome is two parents who love and can show love effectively to their children, regardless of gender. Still, children are developing and looking for role models of both genders. A traditional family provides one female adult role model and one male adult role model. Regardless of my issues, my children still view me (currently, not knowing of my situation) as the male…

I was thinking about buying her cross dressing guide. Any of you guys have it and what did you think of it, did it help you?

why is it female partners ALWAYS .authink when your on here to meet other people on here as friends, your cheating on them its (f##k'N) Bollocks

I'm having kind of a tough time right now. I have to go off of my hormones in preparation for surgery. I've been off of them for about four days now and I'm really starting to feel tense. It's like I have all of this pent up destructive energy that's tearing me apart from the inside. I'm just plain angry for no reason and it's driving me nuts! Does anybody have any advice on how to get through this? I can't relax, I certainly can't sleep, and I'm having violent fantasies about beating up local gangsters (who I ironically despise because they are violent). This is just not good. I don't know how long I can put up with this.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I'm Angela, as you can see. I've been living with GID for,well, I guess since I was born. I've always self-identified as a female and went through horrible, gut wrenching fear as a child, thinking I was going to be discovered and beaten for being different. I'm more comfortable with it all now, though I don't live full time as a woman. Just doing it occasionally, when I am alone in the house. Anyway, hope to talk with everyone soon. Blessings, Angela

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.

Hello. First I feel I have to apologise, cos I've written a lot of rubbish, and that just reflects the various phases I'm going through. And, no doubt, I'll write a lot more rubbish, this being maybe one of them. I just hope I haven't hurt anyone or done any damage. But I must admit, I do like this forum as a safety valve, cos otherwise I might explode. You know my biggest problems with being what I am is not public derision (I thought it was, but it's not, I'm not out formally but pretty much everyone knows what I am, and I don't care), Nor is it my personal appearance (I thought it was, but then I see genetic women wiv hairy legs and male features, they're still women).…

Hi all out their reading Im trying to figure out some things.Hopefully someone can lend some words of wisdom.Ok here goes first off Im really haveing a tough time figuring out what size cloths fit me.I dont have anyone around to go with me to give their opinion so im tryng to usually go by eye.A lot of the time I get things home and try them on and things are either to big or to small.It would be nice if everything was one size fits all(and really would fit rite).I guess im still just new to this stuff and it well just take time.The other thing is makeup whats good whats bad and what colors really look good on me.Be leave me Im really trying to figure all this out on my o…

Hello, everyone! My name is Jocelyn, but you can call me Joss, Lynn, or whatever else strikes your fancy (I've heard them all). Much to my shame, I haven't really even begun to transition because there are simply no resources in my hometown. I AM trying to save money though, more to get out of this town to someplace where I CAN transition. It's a nuisance but kind of a necessary first step, I think. Despite this though, I actually practically live fulltime as a woman (excluding at my job). I have a loving wife who knew everything about me going into our relationship, and my friends are also perfectly accepting, so really, I guess things could be a lot worse, all t…

Hi Bonnie, good idea to not hijack that thread. I'm just wondering if you would consider yourself to be a CD more than a TS? I mean, if your family didnt care either way, what do you think your path would be? Since you are looking to find a man that would treat you as female, would that be found in a gay man, do gay men have issues with their partner wanting to be female, I don't know. I hope you can find some happiness living the way you need to right now, you have already had to go through alot.

Hey all...long, long, time no see and hear....hehehe. Yeppers it's me! Hope this post doesn't get deleted. ::snickers:: Anyway, just dropping by to say hi to all my former board warrior friends and to let you know that I had my SRS and MA this last summer(some of you knew I was going) in Thailand. I'm fine and doing great! Yea...it has been quite a ride emotionally and physically up to this point and every once in a awhile my hormones will go all weird on me...LOL...but hey its just how it is. Anyway, I'll stop in from time to time if you don't mind and make a comment or two. You all have a great day! :)

I was switching channels a day or two ago, trying to find something possibly interesting to watch. There is a doctor, I believe his name is Dr. Oz, who has a program about human health. He was talking to a woman who seemed to have had breast reduction surgery because the weight of her large breasts were causing back problems. She said she felt more comfortable with more moderate size breasts.

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

It was emotional. I didn't break down and cry uncontrollably, but I went through a few tissues. My fellow patients did as well. They like to call it a "Graduation" when someone leaves after completing the program. I got to wear a tiara. I also got to hear from everyone about what they thought of me, and respond in kind. It was all positive. I'm not sure I've ever received that much praise at once. It felt good. Really good. Apparently I'm an inspiration, supportive, insightful, beautiful, strong, intelligent, and just all around "amazing". In turn I thanked my adoring fans, and reminded them of how far they had come since I'd gotten there. Regardless…

Since the majority of mtf are "lesbian" and the ftm will continue to be lesbian is it safe to say lesbian is the choice of sexual orientation? I guess it's true that women are not totally hetero. They are either bi or lesbian. I am a hetero woman. I know I will be sexually active with just men when I have srs. I am married and have sex with my wife only. So does that make me bi even though I am a virgin when it comes to men?

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…

I have been on HRT for nine months now and noticed my libido has (finally) appeared to have in a dramatic way tapered off. So I was wondering what others have experienced in their HRT timeline?
