Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

January 20th, 2009. This girl is happy, happy, happy. This past week I received the "FINAL JUDGEMENT OF NAME CHANGE" signed by the judge. Yea, my name is now officially Bobbie Jo per the court, just need to get all of the legal stuff (drivers license, ss card, etc) done. You never realize how many things your name is on until you have to get them all changed. They changed my name in the payroll system at work on Friday, now they are working on changing my email name, etc, etc. Bobbie Jo

I'm almost 19 and I'd like to at some point start this process. I'm terrified of doing it and have been visiting these forums since I was about 15. I used to think that I would just immediately start up on all this when I'm 18 and not go to college or anything, but then I realized that I should probably finish college first and get some more things in order before I start to make any drastic changes. 22 is still really young, right? Anyway, I'm like super hairy and it's driving me crazy. I have hair on my chest and all over. My legs are SO hairy and my arms are pretty hairy too. Facial hair has been coming in more and more over the years and it's driving me nuts. I HAT…

I have been the primary care giver for my parents for the past 5+ years Mom passed May 1 2007 Dad Just passed Jan 9 2009. My wife and I were talking about the new future we now face. I brought up SRS and Lizzy said it’s something you have wanted a long time and you will end up doing it you might as well get it done. We were sitting in Starbucks (yes there is a Starbucks in the Bahamas and tears just poured out of my eyes. She then said she wants me to be happy but she is not licking and smiled. So now begins which would be the best choice of surgeon and surgical technique and time to aggressively get my body back in shape (which I was going to do now anyway). As I unders…

I had an appointment with my endrocologist and he said he will give a referral for ANY procedure. I am still on cloud 9. After all these years of self loathing and doubt, of losing my job and getting divorced, of thinking that I was crazy or some k ind of pervert, I find out that I am not crazy or perverted and that that the light at the end of that tunnel is getting brighter. MY words keep running off the page so I'll get to hte end and say for everyone going thru this Keep your head up. Now the expensive stuff begins. A question. Would an orchide…

I was recently discharged from the Marines due to my growin boobs. Before that I had transitioned at 12 years old and been kicked out of my house at 15 by my parents for it. Dropped out of highschool, started college, enlisted as an officer when I hit 18 after 3 years of trying really hard to be a dude. 2 years later and this is me. I just got to civilian life. I'm in a new city, full time, haven't been on hormones for months, just trying to figure out what to do with myself and waiting for acceptance into the pharmacist program at USC seeing as I have my bachelors in biology. I ride motorcycle and like to shoot guns, I'm impatient and don't like people too much. …

I heard vaguely that certain HRT drugs can result in different changes to the body. As in one drug might cause a person to fill out in the butt, but another might cause more breast tissue. Is this true? Which ones to what, if so?

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

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…

Goodday Everybody, I am new to this forum. I have lived half my life keeping my gender-variety a secret to everyone, fearing rejection and discrimination. I pass well (pleased with size of hands, head, hair, body and feet). Generally I am doing fine and face very few problems. Only very few close friends know about my being a transwoman and they also know that I live in stealth. If there is one thing that might give me away is my voice. I have had years of vocal training, and although I do not sound like the average man, my voice is deeper than the average female voice, especially when I am tired or after giving long lectures. Because of my work and active social life,…

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…

I know, from the handouts accompanying my prescribed estrogen, progesterone and spironolactone, as well as reading articles at certain websites, there can be potential serious or relatively minor ill side effects. I have experienced being lightheaded once and temporarily stopped taking these hormones. Occasionally i experience moderately discomfort in my lower stomach, which I do not know if my taking hormones may be a factor. I wonder if anyone has or knows of anyone who had serious side effects from using estrogen, progesterone and/or spironolactone. Thank you.

HI, im 18 at about 210LBS and am told to lose weight, ive already loss a lot,(pathetic) and was woundering the right to start. OH im 5'9" tall Thanks in advance :)

hey all. well something pretty dramatic has happened, and I'm a little bit shocked but very happy. I have always thought I could never fall in love with someone who wasn't female, I have just always been attracted to the female body. Today i was on a lesbian chat room which I sometimes go to, and I got a message from a guy asking if he minded chatting with him, so anyway I decided sure i'd happily chat with him as long as he wasn't after sex or anything. So we chatted for a while and ended up trading MSN names. and have been talking for hours since. Anyway, so now I;m seriously questioning my sexual orientation and all.

I am curious to know if anyone has any information about either of these two doctors. I am asking because I am trying to find a reliable doctor for SRS. In particular, I am looking for someone who's had their surgery with one of them, or knows someone who did. Doctor Gary Alter Doctor Christine McGinn Any information, whether positive or negative, would be helpful. Thank you, Angela

I wonder if some male to female transsexuals experience any change in their sexual orientation by taking estrogen. While I have wished for many years to experience sex as a female with males, I have never been physically attracted to any non-transgendered males. I still am only attracted to females.

Nicole Kidman: a transsexual married to Charlize Theron (Marie Claire Magazine) - http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrit...ize-theron.html Looks like it could be an interesting movie. Charlize Theron hails from my (southern) neck of the woods, and has quite a following here. Has anyone read the book (The Danish Girl)? Jilli

I feel a little silly posing this question, but I have been occasionally wondering about it for many years. Tthere are sleeveless dresses, short sleeve sweaters, especially babydolls and chemises that reveal so much of one's body offered for sale among women's fashions during the fall and winter, compared to flannel shirts, long sleeved sweaters and cotton pajamas, among men's fashions. Looking at the Victoria's Secret website, they are currently offering much more skimpy lingerie to sleep in than comfy pajamas. Therefore I wonder if females may be, on average, a little less sensitive to cooler temperatures than males. I often feel cold during the late fall and wint…

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…
