Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

It doesn't seem to be talked about too much, it maybe taboo (imagine something “Taboo” on a TG forum, lol) or it just maybe because I don’t see many post-op girls here ... in any event I just thought I’d discuss for a moment “libido”, as it seems to have been on a rollercoaster ride beside me through all this. I know it varies for many Transwomen, whether it is pre or post transition and post GRS. For me; as a male I always had a variable libido depending on the partner and level of the relationship. It could however never have been considered low. In my last relationship as a male it was quite high in fact, Spironolactone didn’t even effect me at 1st (well I didn’t t…

Hi everyone. I'm an 18 yr old mtf who's been on hrt for a little over 17 months. Some of y'all probably already knew that. I don't doubt that one day I'll get FFS and SRS, along with a good voice coach and some electrolysis, but it's what happens afterwards that I don't know about. Anyway, I'm in college and I'll likely graduate in 4 years. But, the thing is, I have no idea what to do with myself in life. I already know what I want -- friends and, if I'm lucky, a lover, but I see no prospects for me ever having either of those. I've been a loner since pre-school, and people don't ever let themselves come close to me. Now, I'm out about being TG, and I definitely…

So yeahh, I finally got my HRT letter. I'm going to be on spirotone, estrofem and microgest. I'm so happy :DDD I just need to wait until january for the money and I can get the prescriptions filled I'm on my way!

Hello everyone! I hope I am in the correct forum for this message. I am very very possibly moving to the Baltimore area from Tampa FLorida for a new job. I am in need of local information. I was able to find some studio appartments for $450 per month but have no idea if its in a good safe area. If anyone has experience in the BWI area that can point my family to a SAFE both for crime and for TS friendly areas for reasonable cost that would be great! A commute on a bus or train to BWI for work would be nice if available but by car is not out of the question. Once a home is found then I will be in need of a new therapist, support network and of course safe entertainm…

anyone here that can offer help from a personal perspective. My husband has always hid his real identity behind a real macho, egotistical, argumentitive personality. We have been together for 18 years and have 2 very young children. Over the past 12 he has slowly started to integrate the feminine side of who he realy is into our relationship. His anger has been his most dominate personality trate, it has caused so much heartache with us, but we always work things through. Just recently he confessed who is inside his head and the turmoil he has endured trying to keep his head in reality, knowing his sex is male but his head says he is female. He is scared I will leave, …

I have struggled with my identity my whole life. From as long as I can remember I have been friends with more females than males. My inner self is definitely totally female. Played with my sister's barbie's and strawberry shortcake dolls more than my GI Joes. I don't feel myself unless I keep some sort of female piece of clothing on even at work. I work with a ton of homophobic and anti trans people at work most of which are gun toting card carrying memebers of the Republican party and NRA. I have to live a lie around them and my family. I told my Ex who I was and she was supportive for a min or two then betrayed me by outing me to the rest of my family. Now I don't feel …

Hello, all... my name is Danielle; I'm a ts in my mid-forties, and I have an urgent request for help here on deciding where to move... it's such a looong story, but I find myself now with a unique opportunity to go start anew somewhere... I've been stuck in OH for quite a few years now, and this place is horrible if you ask me... My own research has yielded the following possibilities: Minneapolis - There's the transgendered program at the U of M to consider; I also have a single contact in that town who has offered to help me get on my feet... but it's been a long time since I've been on 'em, and she's a good friend but with no real experience in dealing with transge…

I come from a small family background. Ever since I remembered my childhood, my parents had dressed me up in boy's clothing, my room at home was filled with airplanes, army/fire trucks, but I really had no interest in playing with them, but I rather had taken out my coloring book, finding a way to pass the time by a little faster. Being a kid at the time, I wasn't old enough yet to go to work, to buy the things that I wanted? So one day I asked my father if he would buy me my first Barbie doll? He looked at hesitated at first, but we went out to the toy store, and my Dady allowed me to pick whatever Barbie doll I wanted. When we came home, I happily ran up the stairs to m…

Well, i did come out to my parents a couple weeks ago and it seemed to go fairly well. But one thing that has been troubling me is that my mom keeps asking if there is anything thing else thats not so drastic i can do rather than transition. She along with saying that say that there is nothing at all from my childhood and growing up that would make her think even a little bit that i was feminine. For as long as i've known i've had these feelings inside, i've known that they were different and unique. I knew that they were not something i should be open about and thus i began to keep them hidden. I put on quite a front as a male. I did really what ever i could to be "no…

I'm not sure how I should start this or what way to word what I need to say, so I guess I will start from the start; I know I have always liked women and I don't see that changing any time soon. But I have always had problems with the way in which my body looks, I'm never the right weight, I either see myself as too heavy or too skinny; this causes my weight to fluctuate a lot of the time. I don't see a Males body when I look at myself a lot of the time, I have wide hips, quite narrow shoulders and a fairly small waist. But this isn't exactly what I am here to chat about, I have always gotten on better with and been myself more around women or gay lads; around straight la…

edit: I've been browsing This forum for a short period of time. I don't think the effect of words on a screen could affect a person so much. Guess thats a real fact of life these days. Either way My answer was made clear by reading a few things on this forum. Its funny how one can make obtain a clear answer for them selfs with out a direct interaction of another person. Up and down the net researching and all it too was a simple post phrased just right. I thank you all for your time. I am sorry about the post I did not think I would have had the clearness I needed In the way I received it. If mods could delete this post I would be happy. Sorry mods of this forum. …

Hi all, I was on Estradiol for two years before, for reasons beyond my control, I was been cut off in mid December. I may be able to get a resupply in April. My question is: what effects of this lull are going to have on my body? Thank you for any replies in advance.

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 …

Hi team. I'm hoping for some feedback soon from those of you further down the road so I am armed when talking to the gatekeeper. Brief history. After two discussions with gatekeeper one he wants confirmation from gatekeeper two that I'm good to go. OK here is what I want. Firstly, I know you don't get to chose what hormones do but if I could chose: if Carlesberg made hormones (perhaps lost on my non European sisters) this is what I would want. 1/ The end of the mental torment/noise....you all know what I mean. 2/ A more feminine, passable face. 3/ Transition by stealth. What I hope the gatekeepers will sanction therefore is very low level oestogen (patc…

I over purchased lubricant and have 10 4oz tubes (paid two dollars per bottle instead of say 6 to 12 dollars per bottle) from equate plus 3 bottles of the same brand of 8 oz and another brand 6 of 4 oz. So here is the deal, I will give the 10 tubes to anyone who will be going through GRS in the next say five months for free that are in the continental USA. The cost to you is picking up the shipping cost which I would provided after the fact. If you can afford the entire shipping cost pay what you can. Trust me when I say you will go through lube like there is no tomorrow in the first month or perhaps first two months. Expiration dates are 1/2017 For the record I am using…

Houston, TX -- An employee at a Macy’s in San Antonio was fired for not allowing a transgendered shopper to use the store’s women’s fitting room, saying doing so would violate her Christian beliefs. Read the news article: Macy’s worker reportedly fired for not allowing transgender shopper into dressing room

In contrast to the Being treated like a lady! thread, here is something that happened yesterday. I just spent the weekend in Chicago at a board of directors meeting for Lutherans Concerned. One of the other directors is a transman named Galen. Yesterday we were at the airport to catch a flight back to Minneapolis and stopped at the food court to get some breakfast. We both opted for breakfast burritos. We were both asked if we wanted guacamole. I had to pay 75 cents extra for my guacamole. Galen got his for free. So we're looking for a table, and Galen starts in being insensed that he didn't have to pay extra and I did. Frankly, I hadn't noticed that it had h…

I am 38 year old man and I want become women.but Iam sacred.is anyone explain me is it safe to change

This is an interesting article about the neuron numbers in the central part of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis.(BSTc) within the brain. Basically it states that Regardless of sexual orientation:- Men have almost twice as many somatostatin neurons as women Male-to-female transsexual neuron numbers are similar to that of females Female-to-male transsexual neuron numbers are similar to that of Males. http://jcem.endojour.../85/5/2034.full

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…

Can anyone give me guidance please.Do many transsexuals feel the need to masturbate regularly to overcome frustration and is this normal. I am confused.

I have read on a few websites most transsexual women over the age of 50, such as myself, using female hormones develop at most A cup size female breasts. Having at least relatively large female breasts, at least a B cup size, is very important to my female self-image.I am trying to be patient, I used female herbal supplements from January to April, have been taking estrogen since mid April, progesterone since May. I wonder what has been the experience of others in developing female breasts, without using breast implants, especially those over the age of 40. Is it true I most likely will have to settle for no more than A cup size female breasts? Also, does it reall…

Hairy. ugly, horrible creatures. Why do we like them so much?

You guys have probably heard the old question about race. Why should it matter? Well what about sex should that also matter? I just came back from one of my favorite stores. Sporting my new size 10 Levi's which weren't the hip huggers that I was hoping for, But I had decided to wear them to the store just to break them in. I had to ask one of the little girls for some assistance finding something. After finding what I was looking for the little girl asked me if she could ask me a personal question? Not thinking much of it, I said sure. She said " Are you trying to be a guy?" Wham! did she catch me off guard. I didn't know if I had just been complimented or insulted. I d…
