As a TG MtF it is such a glorious feeling after 60 years, to feel my breasts as my arms brush by. With the help of a little modern chemistry they have now grown quite significantly. They may only be the size of a French model, but to look down at my t-shirt and see the curvatures, the pointed shape and the nipples outline without the need of my trusty pushup bra that has supported me all these years. It chokes me up, and brings me to tears, from sheer joy and fulfillment. I know some of you must have experienced the same or similar in your TG journey, and thank-you all for your support too. Love to all G

Hello, my name is Rachel. I am 35 and I identify as a transgendered person. I am pre-operative, pre-hormone, pre- pretty much everything basically. But I am in therapy or counselling and have been for about 2-3 years now and have made some strides in coming to terms with who I am and how I wish to live. I am still fairly new to this situation and not sure about many things but I do know that I wish to express my honest feminine leanings and self. I posted a few photos so be kind and don't judge too harshly. I am a very sensitive, shy person and this whole coming out thing has not been entirely easy on me emotionally. I have lost a few close friends since coming out…

Hi All. I have allready done all the groundwork and reasearch for the topic Suicide. reasons and Rates of for transsexuals. This is for an online magazine on a transgendered web site. So I know you are all smart people. So I wondered if any of you know of any good research paers or articles I should read ? I have already a lot of material to draw upon,but the knowledge base for this subject is close to nil. Or the quantity of subjects/ individual's questioned or in any survey's are such a small number typically from 50 -500. This is a ridiculous number for a study. But there are difficulties such as the number of transwomen / Men who go stealth at some stage…

Well I'm at a very early stage in my transformation, and I'm not even sure if I want to go all the way. I gave out a few messages that I might be transsexual, and now, all of a sudden, I have guys touching me on the bum and stuff. I don't want to be overly aggressive, but these approaches are most unwelcome. Short of punching them in the face, and totally destroying the female persona I'm trying to develop, I'm unsure how to handle this. Advice please.

Hi, Does anyone know a TG Friendly Hair Salon and nails here in Los Angeles area? Please let me know, Andrea

Hello Everyone, I would really appreciate any advice you may have for me. As far as I am along in this transition, more or less complete there are still some missing links. This is my Question? The department of motor vehicles continues to list my other name from the past. The girl at the counter said that my gender lists permanently as female and fortunately only my middle initial is indicated. My first name was obviously male in the past but with a slight change in pronounciation it could be interpreted as female. However because I was well known in my home town if anyone were to see my previous name they would very easily be able to figure out my pas…

Hey peoples. I am a judoka and recently fought at a competition. At 27 years old I am 5'11 and 155lbs. When I fought this weekend I fought in three matches to win gold in my weight class. One of my fights went into overtime and the other two were done under two minutes (the matches are timed for four). My question is, could I have had a competitive advantage? I trained hard for the fight and felt that my game plan helped a lot. However, do I really have to question myself if I win? What about all of my hard work training, didn't that mean a lot? Please do not hold back your opinions. I know this is a controversial subject. This is not me, but another transwoman who …

Hi everyone Im rather new to this site, but not to the trans community. I have been struggling with my own GID for a very long time now. I was ready to start councling about 3 years ago but then I ran into financial issues and have had to put it on hold. Now that I have saved up a good amount of money I am ready to start the process again. I am just absolutely amazed at the strength and courage many of you ladies have, especially the ones that have started HRT, and I hope within the next year or two to begin my own. I am 26 and don't want to start my transitioning too late in life to not enjoy it. I would love to hear from all of you about your experiences and…

Sooo I recently had surgery just about 3 weeks ago (surgery date was october 4th, 2010) So, being that I was around parentals during the post op questions of dos and donts before going home, I didnt want to ask my doc about certain things like drinking and smoking. He gave me the basic run down of dilation, the restrictions of no sex for 6-8 weeks, and yada yada yada. However, Im having a hard time getting ahold of him and my friends wanted to throw me a party. Problem is, I smoke pot on occasion and drink rarely. Chances are, for this party, Im gonna want to smoke and drink, but I can't, for the life of me, find ANY direct answers on when a person is ok'd to smo…

I am a professional Videographer/producer. I am currently planning out and working on a project that I have been putting together for some time. It will be a DVD Video that offers make-up tips, but also will go far beyond that. I have been compiling many tips and tricks over the years and decided to put them into a video to help others. There are so many little tricks that I have accumulated from other transsexuals, crossdressers, drag queens, etc. that will help many to be become more passable as a female. Many of us need help to hide our masculine features and bring out our feminine features. There are so many simple little tricks that are surprisingly amazing and hel…

okay so my goal here is to help others like me and maybe find some help of my own along they way. this is a link to my youtube page where i talk about some things on being transgendered and just my life in general.. see ya there http://www.youtube.com/user/Jesslyngirl87

See my latest photo Amie 5 months HRTToday I took a little extra time getting ready in the morning and thought I would take a picture of myself to show the progress on the hair removal. I have not shaved for over 3 months and I pluck sporatic hairs every other day. Initially My beard was so thick that I had to shave 2-3 times a day. I have very light sheer make-up on except for a little concealer on my blemishes and upper lip area. I will always need to deal with some shadow until completing electrolyis or possibly after years of plucking. i have not yet had any professional electrolysis. I am very impressed with the results I was able to achieve in only a couple …

@karinatsnemirov Hi, I'm Karina, I'm an 18 year old MTF TS from Lawrence,MA which is just north of boston. Where do I begin? I was born as Cody, and from the get go, I was never right. I always used to wear my sisters clothes from age 5 and up until I was about 15 or so when I started to get way too big for them. I started to spend my money I made from work on makeup and girls clothes and stashed them in my brothers basement without him knowing (I had they key lawl) I used to dress up secretly in his house and eventually I decided to tell my boyfriend (which nobody knew about either) and he was on board instantly. Now I was starting to dress like this outside of secret…

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.

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. …

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 …

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.

here goes just a very short description , well was diagnosed transexual 2 and a half years ago by gender therapist and done nothing about it since due to not wanting to upset my family , what should i do ?

This is a test as described below. There are five levels that score between -650 which indicates male and 650 which indicates female. I think there were 60 plus questions. I scored 600 so it looks like I am on the right path. Before taking the test I suggest doing what I did, just take it, do not dwell over the answers but do carefully read each question. There is one question that is really something, I read it three times before responding. Would love to hear how you score and your thoughts on the scores. A unique test designed specifically for the uncertain pre-transitional Male-to-Female gender dysphoric. The first comprehensive gender dysphoria test, COGIATI …

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

I am currently in Disney World living completely as a woman full time in every situation for almost two weeks. My license is updated with and F for gender and I am finally being called by the feminine name that means so much to me. So much is coming clear just in this past week that would not have made sense without the actual experience. Thank you so much to those of you on Tgguide who helped to prepare me for this event. This is a general schedule that I followed to reach this point in my life I thought I would share to help those who need help. 1. Read other peoples stories see similarities to my own and realize that I am not alone. I am not the first to go …

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

Hi everyone, I am Rebecca, Becki to all my friends (and I hope you will be my friend). I have felt like a girl almost all my life. It started when I was just 3 and wore a borrowed dress, panties, knee socks, and maryjanes for a Halloween costume. The was the night I realized why I wasn't really happy. While in that dress, i felt so right. After that day, every time i was over playing with my best friend, Amy, I got to wear on of her cute outfits while we played with her dolls. I even got to have a sleep over with her a few times while growing up. It was so much fun, just the two of us sitting around in our jammies, doing our nails, eating popcorn and discussing thin…

Boo! Did I scare you? If I did, I'm worried. It's a forum post you big silly. If I didn't? ...I'll try harder next time, hehe. Hi everyone! I used to lurk here ( and post occasionally ) when I was younger! Recently, my thoughts have wandered to all you lot and I was curious, so here I am checking in. New look to the forum and it's awesome! The familiar faces I remember are still present, Hi Annie! For those who remember, I'm Melissa, I am a male to female transsexual ( that's why I'm posting here! ) and I started my therapy around 16 and my hormones just before 17, if I recall correctly. I am now halfway to my 21st birthday, time has flown, and my oh my I often f…
