Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

okay.. so i finally start to think im making progress in my transition and then my dad calls me yesterday to just yell at me cuz i came out on facebook... he was making me upset so i hung up on him and ignored a few of his call backs.. i live with my grandma, shes sorta like my mom she raised me and everything.. she was the last person, well her and my grandpa, that i had to tell... Anyways my dad calls them and tells them that not to let me leave because he and my step mom are coming up.. And we all had to have a talk... of course i cant have a family the accepts anything that isnt normal to them and instead they just tear me down, my grandparrents are VERY religio…

I am still waiting to get some more advanced professional counseling with my desire to transition but through the years I have given much thought to Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) because I have always been so uncomfortable with the male genitalia. Most of you have coped with the problem for some time and I am curious if any of you can relate to these thoughts. I will do my best to present the rated G PG version by being more technical in the language please let me know if there is another place to transfer this post. When you have made a loving commitment to your wife and then hit her with the truth about being unhappy in your body it raises all kinds of questions a…

Blurgh. So, the last time I was here, I was talking about how great it was that I was coming out to friends and family and that my wife was finally starting to be more accepting. And now... Two steps back... First, she wanted me to stop discussing things among the only transgendered community I know because people on the internet don't know me personally. I was at least feeling okay that I was able to start talking to my few friends in real life... Shortly thereafter, she pointed out that there's always the possibility that I will see a therapist and there will be other circumstances than GID that have caused these feelings all my life, so I shouldn't discuss i…

I AM A TRANSGENDERED MALE,WHO VERY MUCH WANTS TO BE A FEMALE.I FOUND A WEB-SITE (EDITED BY ADMIN) WHERE I CAN BUY ESTRIADOL .625mgs .HOW MUCH SHOULD I TAKE A DAY,MEANING HOW MANY MILLIGRAMS,SHOULD I TAKE A DAY.

well i guess this is kinda stupid... but i took some pictures today (you can see them in my gallery) and it like shocked me.. for the first time, i actually saw a little bit of a girl in my face. i mean it could just have been good angles or something, but its never looked that way to me... i was just like omg and idk it was amazing feeling. i know its only been 10 weeks on hrt. but ive been waiting forever to feel like this and i was beginning to think i never would. hope everyone is doing well and i just wanted to put up an update where i was actually happy and not bummed about something:) jesslyn=)

Hello I am Kelly and I am a 31 year old mtf pre op ts for 10 years now.I always felt mostly feminine since I was 7 years old and never felt masculine.At first,I did get into my mom's closet and tried on some of her heels and pantyhose which I liked.I bgan crossdressing after that and I knew this was not enough in my late teens.Finally I was at a crossroad when I was 19 and decided on the transition.My mom was very concerned about me and I broke the news to her about this first.It was good news,she told me that she loved me regardless and saw I was in lot of pain.My father otherwise was tearful when I told him and he thought it was his fault not raising me as a boy right.I…

ok.. as u can obviously see from my pictures, i def need my chin and jaw done.. not to mention my nose.. so where can i get pretty accurate info on getting these procedures done.. and the prices i can expect.

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

Does anyone live the cougar lifestyle. I will be 43 soon and when it comes time to date it will be with younger men. The estrogen has really made my already youthful looks even sexier.

Did any of you notice a change in the texture of your nipples during your transition? Mine seem to be getting tougher, skin seems thicker.

I've kept my nature between only myself and my wife mainly because I've been so intent on making my marriage work by acting as a man. Things have gotten a lot better lately as communication has grown civil and two days ago, I finally came out to a friend of mine. Since then, I've let two other friends know and I know it's a cliche, but I feel like a weight has been lifted. I am going to see a therapist as soon as money is stable and, as much as I'm dreading it, I'm going to talk to my parents about it, too. Everything finally seems to be working out. I'm absolutely terrified of the social repercussions of transitioning, but it's what I need to do to be true to myself…

Is there any way to increase aromatase enzymes? Aromatase enzymes convert testosterone into estradiol in the body.

Hi to you all, Just registered and want to introduce myself. My name is Rachael and I'm from Derbyshire in the UK where it's snowing and freezing! I am a MTF (pre-op) and being cared for by our wonderful NHS under two Doctors and Psychotherapists as well as one private Gender specialist in London. I've been on Hormone therapy for over a year and halfway to finishing my RLE. My surgery is scheduled for 2011. I live with my female partner and we live as a Lesbian couple.I'm looking forward to meeting on here some girls from the USA. I wonder how it is for you over ther care wise and generally social wise? Her there aren't too many…

hey everyone.. ive been on hrt for almost 5 weeks coming up and ive got some changes and im happy about that. but yes im being paranoid cuz really i havent lost much muscle at all almost nothing.. in the next few years i know it will go away but will the hrt actually make the muscle shrink to female proportions.. i know i cant change my bones, but i can change the muscle and fat areas with hormones right? if anyone knows help is welcome jesslyn:)

I've been taking herbal estrogen off and on for over a year now with minimal development without my girlfriend knowing. I want to know where and what I need to take to give me that extra push so that I can hit a growth spurt and really start growing

im a new membe wish you all the best for the new yea. Greetz alan

Hey everyone! You guys can just call me Kay. I am a coming out mtf tg and am looking for some guidance from anyone who has any advice for a "newbie" like me:) I have known since before my adolescence that something was not right about me. But still need to get to that realization that has been trying to push its way up for a while now. Its really annoying, and confusing, and i just need some, well, guidance.I would like to better explain everything to anyone who wants to lend an ear. My thoughts, so far, are whether to decide to go through what i have read to be "transitioning". I know quite alot about it, but obviously what you "read" isnt always true. So i'm a little lo…

Hello everyone! My name is Julia it's wonderful to meet all of you. I'm a self proclaimed non-op. I just celebrated my three year anniversary of going full time as of the 11th of this month. I experimented with estrogen fairly heavily when I was around thirteen and on and off until early 2001 when I started doctor prescribed hormones and haven't been off of them since. I transitioned in Helena Montana which was "interesting" to say the very least. LOL! I'm a distance runner and love to run with my doggy every morning. I'm also an artist and work in watercolour,pastels,charcoal and coloured pencil. I have a varied taste in music ranging from industrial,ebm,darkwav…

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?

hey all,o once again im fighting how i feel.. ive told myself all day that i need to be a guy and stop talking hormones... i wont, im a girl inside and i was perscribed them for a reason... will these fighting feelings ever calm down.. ive been fine for 2 weeks, and then boom, i feel like this.. im scared im never gonna pass and ill be this weird looking guy forever... im really just depressed, and i did make an appointment with my therapist... but help is always welcome from anyone who wants to offer it

It's saturday and I'm at home, pushing the boundries of my existance! I'm moving a step closer to being in harmony with my male/female. i got to keep going, co's the conflict between me and the world i live in, ends up suffering and there-by do I. I have a wife and 3 teenage children and I've always managed with just my wifes knowledge. Now I find that as I get older (51) I have to bring the "two halfs" together; I think my own body clock is pressuring me. What with the kids and my profession in psychiatry, I can't see that I will ever truly experience "womanhood". On the positive side, I love my life, it's just a bit complicated ! Anyone got any wisdom on how to c…

I alluded to this subject in a comment to a topic I started in November. "The New York Times" has today an interesting, fairly long article about the process I previously mentioned. The article is on the paper's website in the 'fashion and style section," entitled "Your own fat, relocated." Fat is removed from a lower part of the body and injected into one's breasts. Some advocates contend up an increase of up to about two cup sizes is possible. However, some doctors caution of possible detrimental effects on a person's health. This will probably start to get more attention in this country.

Hi girls, Its been a long time since i posted. Just thought i'd let everyone know that i have my gender reassignment surgery date. It is March 27th 2010, i have my pre op assessment on the 18th of that month. I've had 3 genital laser sessions, 2 more to go, have 2 zoladex injections 4 and 8 weeks in advance of the op and come off hormones 6 weeks before. Steph a very happy girl

hi everyone.. im seeing a therapist monday and i am planning on starting my transition very soon. my big question is that i just turned 22 and since i was like 19 ive been bodybuilding to fight the feeling of me being a woman.. thought it was a phase. so now im right about 200 lbs and im 5'9 i dont have a big frame by anymeans i could be very passable before i started lifting.. so will i be able to drop the muscle and can i look towards getting some hip fat and such, (i have very low body fat atm) how soon do u think changes will happen cuz i just started growing my hair out about a month ago

I am curious as to after how many years taking estrogen and possibly progesterone, did other transsexual women's breasts no longer became bigger. Secondly, I wonder if transsexual women's breasts, particularly without breast augmentation, are erotically sensitive, less so or nearly as much as those for genetic females. This is an area where I have been disappointed so far and wonder if I will ever experience noticeable erotic sensations.
