Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hello everybody! It's been a while since I've checked in here. Life, and my other internet haunts, have kept me busy. I see there are still a lot of familiar faces here, so in a way it's like I never left. A lot has happened in my life, and I don't intend to bore you with the details, but one major event has occurred which I intend to share with you all. I have a girlfriend! Not just any girlfriend mind you, but somebody who is taking much the same path I have taken. We are both trans women, all be it in very different stages of transition. While I have completed transition, she is just beginning. She still presents male full time, and is right now in the process…

Hello people, I'm Danielle or Miss D, whichever people prefer. I'm 7-8 months into my transition and things are going rather well although I've had quite a difficult time acquiring anti androgens in injection form. I'm curious of anyone here is privy to safe methods of which to acquire them as I was on them for the first 3 months but haven't been able to continue on them due to continually having to switch GPs as a result of changing areas and addresses. Any advice would be wonderful and most appreciated x

I was just wondering how everyone learned how to talk sucsessfuly as a woman, pitch and language. So far anytime i try i just sound like a guy making fun of a girl :/ is there any thing out there that helps?

I am pleased and proud to say that I began my hormone treatments today! Again, with love Missy444

Hi, I would love to transition MtF but cannot do so at least for now. But to prep my body for full HRT I am considering taking an anti-androgen to reduce my testosterone to female levels. I would greatly appreciate hearing from girls that are on anti-androgens only and what effects they experienced. Thanks for helping, Loe'

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…

I need to get to bed and I will, shortly, but quite unexpectedly I found myself crying very hard, earlier tonight. But it doesn't really correlate with the environment, for transition is going well, I pass with little effort, much has been accomplished hormonally ans surgically and I am doing nominally well emotionally - FINALLY. Life is now actually good, but I apparently hit an 'emotional air pocket' tonight quite unexpectedly. [shaking her tired head] I haven't cried that hard in quite some time and it was pretty rough; but at the same time, it is now somewhat rare for me to do so. That is definite progress and most welcome, after a very stormy initial p…

Note: I hope this article is a good one. I hate to admit it, but I didn't read it all - I usually read anything I am about post. When I saw the length of this blog, I thought, *nooooo, I can't do that whole thing!* (believe it or not, I'm really not overly fond of reading. And here I am...on a forum!). But the headline seemed like it would be of interest. I hope it wasn't misleading. If it was, you all just line up and you can each cyber kick me (once) where the sun don' shine.

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…

As most of you know, I'm just half a woman still living as a man. I have to watch myself very carefully not to expose myself. Most of the time I'm pretty good at it. but the other day I was changing clothes and my grandson came into the bathroom to ask me a question and I was totally caught off guard. He is 5 years old and the look on his face as he stared at my breasts completely caught me off guard. I immediately told him that I would be right out and closed the door. What do you I tell a 5 year old when he asks why does grandpa have boobs like grandma? Have any of you ever had to explain this to a child? Thank God he forgot all about it later. But what if he should c…

I haven't really started looking into HRT "officially" yet but continuing my other post, I'm trying to see what I'm getting into here, if anyone has some advice. First one (I hope this is within the forum rules, my apologies if not) -- why does the standard HRT regimen call for spironolactone instead of something like androcur? I guess they both have different side effects, but is there something that makes spiro safer overall? Second one.. what the heck do you eat?! I understand spiro causes potassium retention, which means you can't have a lot of high potassium foods.. but looking down a few lists of recommended "high potassium" foods for people with normal diets…

There is a very interesting article about a transgendered woman, Rose, who will soon become the first transgender television host in India. The article " Tackling a Society's Boundaries, on TV and in a Family" is currently at "The New York Times" website. India, before British colonial rule, was generally one of the most tolerant civilizations in the world concerning human sexuality. Rose also briefly comments about her experiences living for awhile in the United States.

I got a copy of this today on the recommendation of my HRT doc and read through it over the past two evenings. Real interesting book, that. It seems pretty complete and unbiased. There are a few things I'd have thrown in there but I can't really fault it on breadth in general. Reading through some of it was really painful. The earlier chapters opened old wounds and the later chapters re-opened recent ones. *sigh* My doc said when she transitioned she just bought a stack of about 10 and sent them out to various people. Seems like a good idea, though as Michael discovered regarding this in his visit to his mom.. you can lead someone to water, but ...

Ok I have been setting here pondering again , ( yickes not again HeeHee ) Yes , I have often wondered , why it is that so many of us are so eager to leave the past behind and forget all about it , and while we are in transition why we have those moments that we feel ok with the past and others would like to have it burn up in a fire set by our own hands , and I also think that when transition or simply being post op how will this change , will we still feel remorce for the past , the life up until surgery , and will life be any less of a bad memory maker after . Well first off , I am and have struggled with the past , it has haunted my every waking moment why because a…

how long did it take for your breasts to grow in full? or able to walk outside with a chemisole, and not look like a young girl?

I know I will never be a GG, I will be as close to one as I can get. But pregnancy is out of the question. I have always had a fantasy of having a very pretty wedding. I would walk down the isle in my Gown and be a queen to my new husband. I then would would have children with my new husband. Getting pregnant and all. I have so much envy for GG that have that. My soon to be ex wife asked me a question one time. She said being a woman is hard work. Would you take getting your peroid and all that comes with it. My answer was yes. I would have taken having my peroid. Wish they can transplant: Ovaries, Womb, ect... Maybe someday they will????? What does everyon…

Having begun my transition nearly eleven years ago I've had to deal with coming out to a lot of people--and I've gotten relatively comfortable with doing so. One person I never got the chance to come out to, however, is my best guy friend from childhood, whom I will call Dan. Dan and I pretty much hung around together all the time from when I was about 7 until we lost contact with each other when I was 18 (which was 28 years ago). I have been trying to locate Dan for many years, but since he has a very common name I was always unsuccessful in my search, that is, until now. Yesterday I managed to track down--and talk with--an old mutual friend of ours and I got Dan's phone…

Out of curiosity has anyone had the following happend with hormone treatments? Teenage like acne breakouts in a person who is middle aged? I hear your supposed to develop b cup breasts if your lucky after years. I'm getting huge fast. I'm between b and c cup after 3 weeks. Anyone have similar development? How about nausea? Anyone have bouts of nausea? My doctor doesn't seem alarmed but seems suprised at the pace of development of many of the changes. He also seemed suprised my genitals have shrunk and my testicles are ascending at a couple of weeks. Should I be alarmed at the rapidity of change? My small town doc admits he's not very experienced regarding these…

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

(6-17-04-- revised 2-22-05) ~ NEVER SAY NEVER! ~ What do you like to read? Novels? Short stories? Poetry? Cereal Boxes? (smile) With books, I go through phases-- sometimes I won't read a page for years and at others I find myself plowing through 4 authors' works simultaneously. Where most like to read fiction, my preference leans to history and biography. I've noticed that one theme common to most autobiographies is how so very often, early on in life the successful folks have decided upon their future paths. In childhood they seem certain they will be a famous entertainer, athlete or politician. All their efforts fro…

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

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.

Hi I am wondering if I am transgendered even if I get sexually excited wearing womens clothes sometimes but I also just like to wear and not have this happen? I have in the past enjoyed women's clothes as a pre-teen and and continued off/on over the years. I still sometimes just like to wear womens clothes because it just feels right but can still get sexually excited especially with certain lingerie and fantasizing. I look at sexy women and want to be like them and have bought women's shoes, lingerie, jeans, bras etc and enjoy wearing them. I love the feel of shaved legs pantyhose. I sometimes look transexual (shemale) porn and am sexually excited by this als…

Dear All, I'm a post-op woman who had SRS with colon graft vaginoplasty in 2005 in India, and introitus revision in 2006 in Thailand. Both surgeries left my vaginal entrance too small, although on examination the inner canal is adequate in diameter and depth. Aside from this, I've been experiencing frequent arousals from my genital area, even when just merely touched on the face or hands. I know that many post-SRS women experience orgasmic episodes, of which I am lucky to be among. This excessive sexual stimulation is becoming uncomfortable; awake or sleeping, I experience powerful orgasms then find out that some clear fluid in the clitoral/urethral areas wer…

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.
