Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hi,I am Danielle and a 31 year old post ts of 13 years now.It was bad at first and turned good.I felt very uncomfortable as a boy starting at the age of 5.My bilogical parents did not like it when I came when I was 10 years old,rejected and kicked me out.Basically told me I was born this way and to accept it.It hurt very badly to me and luckily there was hope that changed my life in a positive way.I was adopted by a couple,my adoptive parents Denny and Angela that listened to me and still loved me.My adoptive parents knew rejection was not the answer.I was fianlly diagnosed with gender dysphoria after that and began living as a girl after that put on hormone blockers at f…

Hi all, I am actually on hrt 1 month. I use herbal phytoestrogen herbal pilluls. My body has changed very quickly. My skin and body is pale now and when i go through streets, that people see me like woman and when I go dress like man they still see me like woman. I didnt expect so quickly that I have changed to girl immediately. But on youtube channels I have seen many videos of mtf people on hrt who say that process come after 3 months. But my face after 1 month is true girly. and when I take my beard od , I am more so girly.

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…

Well time for me to once again go back into hiding. I hate that everyone is so afraid of people that are different. I got called out today in front of everyone about my chest that because of my natural hormones and an over active pituitary gland is getting larger. I really like that it is. But also for the fact that I was bent over pulling a part and I guess my pants had sagged down some and my underwear was showing some. Well this tech yelled really loud so everyone could hear just to make me feel like crap. So I guess it's back to being uncomfortable me at work. The person who I have always had to be. I just want to disappear now. Like my disphoria isn't enough of a pro…

I made this a couple years ago and it's all very medically technical as far as terms but covers all the basics of what to expect when going through HRT. You can look up terms for greater explanation of them.

This was a hard weekend. On Friday, my wife and I had a wonderful time while the kids were away -- but the prior nights had included two-hour fights and that night we finally got to the stage where I openly was very clear about moving ahead with everything, unless something drastically changed. It killed me to say it out loud and be 100% committed to it, but there it was. The rest of the weekend has been her asking questions on and off; attending a family event Sunday where she was internally very sad and upset but had to put on a happy face for all the relatives (not very good for her ), and today some crying spells. I feel like we have turned a corner and I ha…

I did a search through the forums before writing this and I didn't come up with any results, so I thought I'd ask. Can trans-women get PMS even without a menstrual cycle? Beeeecause I'm pretty sure I'm on mine. I've always had something that I've lovingly referred to as a "hormone spike" that started when I was living with a two room mates, one of whom was female. Back then we were directly in sync so I attributed it to being more of a sympathy things as my symptoms were present but not pronounced. I was also living with a much lower dose of hormones back then and had been on them for a much shorter period. At least back then it was easy to know what was happening - if sh…

Hi all, I just wanted to say hello. Ive been transisioning for over a year and am still looking for resources and people to talk to about all this stuff. It's been a hell of a ride so far but also worth it. For me this whole situation actually gets easier and easier as the effects of HRT continue to evolve... Anyway, drop a line sometime and I will try to be as supportive as I can for everyone else here. xoxo Christine

so im getting ready to go full time soon and im soo happy and excited about it but the whole thing at work just stresses me out. One thing im super stressing on is that my therapist wants me to go full time before i start on hormones and ive never heard of anyone doing it like this. so i dont know i think i just want to hear what it was like for you girls when you transitioned at work.

Hi I just turned 18 and I really want to try sex with a tgirl im versatile but I don't know how or where to meet a tgirl and I just want to confirm my sexuality in the most respectful way possible. I've been watchin tgirl porn for 3 years now and I always feel bad after I finish and I don't know if it's just me on a porn tangent or me actually attracted to tgirls. I kept running into escorts but I don't want to meet anyone like that to be honest. Id rather see what it's like and if I like receiving anal penetration as much as I like i watching it this will confirm I just don't want to make any big movements into the community without testing the waters. PLEASE HELP! I nee…

Ok so again, I feel timid to post since my last time speaking I did more than just put my foot in my mouth. Even though my initial point came out wrong, I have since realized that I hold myself to some pretty rediculous standards in hope that it will keep me grounded in the reality that, well, passable or not, my life will often be met with adversity and skepticism from others. I found that not only did my views that not BEING a genetic woman somehow devalidated my womanhood, when applied here, offended many people (and rightly so) but that I also realized much of my shame and agony that I internalized was from *ascribing* to such generalizations. Before I begin this p…

Hi Everyone Well it has been sixteen months since I started HRT a lot of wonderful changes have taken place over the months. My skin is so much softer. Body fat redistribution is going very well. No more hair on my tummy an chest. Leg hair is finer softer an thinner. Slight facial changes are taking place. Body odor has really changed. Breasts are getting larger an more shapelier, Nipples are not as sore. All female thoughts an emotions now.

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've become to think I'm complete crap. I feel like people view me as mentally handicap and I feel mentally handicap somehow.... I feel like I could cure cancer and people would still think of me as bad since I'm transgender. I don't know what to do, I'm 17 and my family is in debt and poverty. I'm not sure if we will be able to overcome it and I know that we would be homeless right now if my grandfather wasn't paying our house payments. (I'm on the internet because I have an old laptop and I pick up someone else's internet connection.) My dad is trying to get me to do something with my future but I don't want to because of my self-esteem. I feel like the best thing I …

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

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I’ve been looking into gender affirmation surgery for a long time and there are a few questions I haven’t found an answer to, hoping you can help me out with this. Some of my questions have to do with sex and things like that, is it okay to just go ahead and ask? Thanks

Hi, I have some questions about HRT. I was wondering what effects are typical during the first month. I've been on Spirotonin and Estrofem for about a week now. I have read online that you can feel mental changes within the first few days. It's been a week and honestly I feel 0 effects. [Could] my dosage [be] too low. Just curious what's normal the first month. Transtioning takes years so I'm being patient, but just curious.

Hi everyone, I joined this site nearly a year ago, and somewhat lost track, I would like to inform you all of what has happened since then. To recap, I went to see my GP in August 2005, and changed my name by deed of name change in April 2006. I was seen by my psychiatrist in January 2007, was diagnosed transsexual and referred for hormones and voice therapy. In May 2006 I came out to my family, they could not accept it, and totally abandoned me saying I was making a mistake. I wasn't accepted by society either. I have been beaten up, constantly abused and threatened with violence, targetted with bricks, bottles cans and stones, as well as my home targetted by th…

Well I really disappeared there for a while. Since my last post a whole lot in my life has happened I guess. I was in another car accident on Oct 1, where a girl ran a stop sign, and so I was without a car for about 6 weeks (got a new one last month). It wasn't a bad accident though. There have been many layoffs at work, but I survived since my manager is leaving soon. In fact I've been promoted. I came out to my family (finally) and they've not talked about it since... the only people who I've still yet to tell is upper management, which will have to be very soon... My relationship situation has changed dramatically. Initially I broke up with my long term gir…

I am on cloud 9, I had an e-mail yesterday from someone in the local gender service, that I will have my second opinion and assessment for surgery at the same time sometime soon in the New Year. They are contacting my PCT to request the funding be released, once it is, I will be referred to Mr Terry, and if that goes well, they anticipate surgery by mid 2009. Its been the best news of my life. xx Stephanie

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…

I am 1 year into transition. I have moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming but have not found a doctor that will help with my transition. I am running very low on hormones. Does anyone know of a transgender friendly near Jackson Hole Wyoming?

Yesterday was truly a first for me. I had opened my paper One Hanes Place catalog and spotted the camisole style shapewear and I just had to have one right then. As I tore out the order form I noticed "check out our outlet stores." Since there's a Tanger Outlet Center just down the road, I did just that. Yay, there's a Bali outlet!! I also needed a haircut and wanted acrylic nails, so I decided to take the car for an oil change at the Sears auto center at another mall between home and the outlet store and get some breakfast, a wash and whacks and a manicure while I was there. I've resumed wearing my gel-enhanced bras so I decided to wear a polo for a change. It s…
