Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

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

I am more like a girl in how I feel and perceive things but I am born male and live a male life. I am married with a son who I care for more than anything else. I have been a crossdresser since the age of 5 and I have dressed through the years with purge periods. I am very comfortable buying womens clothes and very excited when I can wear them. Obviously I am in the closet. My transgender side is strong and I feel more like a girl. How can I learn to deal with this? Thank you. emmi

I'm simply courious what you girls have found to be the most difficult asspects of transitioning, Is it the facts that you loose the friends you have known your entire life, Is it the facts that the good job you have worked your butt off to get and keep, only to loose because you are now someone that they cant trust with thier clients ( what would they think about this sort of thing ) Is it the facts that our relationships will be torn into shredds by the fact that our partners didn't get together with us to be with someone that is the same sex as they are, ( they are curious at first but it will end badly to all our dismay it does happen that way) or is it just the facts…

Wouldn't it be nice if transitioning could be as easy as walking into a costume shop? I was looking over the requierements for srs and was about ready to poo on the floor. I know what I want to do already. Replace the annoying dangler with something more comfertable that doesn't fall out of my panties. So, I have to get two schrinks to agree? "Yup this one shoulda been a girl years ago". I've gotta get hair removal? Then, if I still have enough money, pass the physical and didn't die of old age, maybe I'll get it done? My goodness. I'm just about ready to tie a rubber band around it like they do with goats. - Virginia -

Hey everyone. I know the idea of talking hormones around here is a tad bit, um, touchy, but I was curious if anyone had any helpful insight on this issue. My friend who is in law school, and also a trans individual, has told me this is 'all in my head' or just completely unrelated to my taking spirotone. At any rate, about a week ago, last monday, I began taking spirotone (generic spiro anti androgen meds.) Now, the first concern I have is, ever since about the third or fourth day, anytime I take it, shortly after (sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes as quick as 15 minutes) I feel weird aching-like sensations in the, um, crotch area. It isn't specific to any ge…

I want to discuss this with my doctor, but are oral hormones more dangerous than injectable hormones. This is the article that spawned the question: http://www.trans-health.com/displayarticle.php?aid=63 Not for nothing, but I am in great health and I am clear for hormones. I just want to make sure that my transition is as safe as possible. I hate needles, but if its easier on the liver than I might want to change to that route. Is there anyone here that has taken pill form estrogen for many years? -Nikki ^_^

Hi, I am finally beginning to realize that I maybe a transsexual instead of a crossdresser at the age of 55. My thoughts all day are that of interest of being a complete woman in every way possible. I dream of shopping, beauty secrets, and making love to a man as only a woman can, Has anyone else felt this way at 55 and gone on with mtf surgery? If so was it worth it? Love to hear from all of you girls Love, Robyn

Hi, Im new here, just wanted to introduce myself. Im in Altoon Pa and looking to meet some friends, drop me a line if ya wanna ;)

I read at an internet website about breast development for transsexual women, the development of breasts for transsexual women is usually different in certain respects from genetic women. The common differences in genetic male chest size apparently often or usually results in the breasts of a transsexual being smaller, more spaced apart, with a transsexual fitting into a 36B bra not having as large breasts as a genetic woman fitting into a 36B bra. I seem to pretty much fill in my unlined 36B bras. Yet when not wearing a bra, my breasts seem quite smaller than those of my wife, whose bra size is 34A. From a frontal view, my breasts eeem no more than a 34AA compare…

There have been so many advancements lately. Transplants, SRS, Cloning Vital Organs, etc. Does anyone know if there have been any attempts to clone/create complete sex organs for SRS? - Virginia -

Estrogen and progesterone question what are the differences between the two and how do they effect the transgender body?

As a kid, my dad wasn't around much. He and my mom got along like cats and dogs. I was basically raised by my two older sisters and my mom. No big surprise, I had developed a genuine fem. personality. I didn't know any different. I didn't understand why people made the comments they made. "And what's your name little girl?" "Tomboy". As I got older the comments became more colourful. I just shrugged most of it off. Then one day it hit me when one of my sisters was visiting. I was just being myself. suddenly she blurted out "Oh quit acting like a girl". I wasn't acting. I felt very awkward in front of everyone. I learned who and what I am. It took along time, but, I fi…

:unsure: Hi, it is Virginia again. I have so many fears and questions regarding my transition. I'm I too old for surgery? (47) How do they create a vagina? Is it convincing? Will I be all scared up? What is the average cost. Are there financing programs? - Virginia -

Hi !!! It is Virginia I am still learning my way the site. So, if I seem like I don't quite know what I'm doing, it is no surprise. I hope to make some friends. The town I live is so lonely and boring. There is nowhere to go and not much to do. And I am too afraid anyway. I wish to find a place I can feel comfortable to be myself with nice friends. So, talk to me!!! I hope we can all have fun together - Virginia - :)

I am still contemplating issues on feminizing myself. I was wondering if a person oriented there diet to food and herb very high in estrogen could they get female features slowing over time. I am presently vegan and eating high estrogene foods and drinking herbal teas red clover(high in estrogen) and milkthistle(for the liver). I am still in that middle point deciding about being a CD or a TS. Please any advice would be helpful.

So situation: You have to go to artificial means to increase passability. Only: No going to doctors. No buying anything from stores in person either. You are an adult, but you do not live alone. Do you anonymously order things over the net then check your real life mail? Is there some safe way to buy anonymous electrosis which is mailed to you then you use it in real life? Also are there SPECIAL hospitals particularly for transpeople with competent doctors who can do various surgeries for a price? It would also have to be in a pretty isolated spot. I wouldn't want to exactly walk into some building in a very busy public spot with "Transgendered people enter here!" righ…

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, for the past year now, it seems, my sexual orientation has been slowly changing from queer to bi, if not straight... Simply put: I'm not interested in women like I used to be; I prefer the thought of being with a man nowadays. I had figured that I was bi from the ages of 14 to 18, which is when I realized that I'd never really been physically or sexually attracted to a man... I've always been emotionally attracted to them because they have what I lack: masculinity. I first noticed that that wasn't the case this last April when I decided to dance with a rather sweet guy I met at a mini concert at a local pub in Trinidad. (My mother and I visited to get a feel for th…

I am a crossdresser but lately I have had fleeting thoughts that maybe I am a transsexual. I still have no desire for surgery but I would rather wear feminine clothing all the time. I feel very comfortable being looked upon as a woman. I haven't made any decisions yet but I wanted to bounce these thoughts off to you ladies. What do you make of it? Gennee

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, …

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

Hi everybody, This is the first time I've ever posted to this forum, although I've spend many hours reading posts here and other places. I am a 57 year old MtF transsexual who came out to the world four months ago. I knew since I was 9 or 10 that I felt different about myself. I wanted to do what girls did and wear what girls wore. I wasn't clear about why, but I knew it was true. I never was able to fit into any group of guys. They made uncomfortable and were generally coarse and gross. I began to cross-dress around 12 years old and did that whenever I could. When I was caught, my parents said it was just a phase. (Yeah, right.) I eventually read about tran…

hi, Lately i've been quite interested in the subtle differences between male faces and female ones and as such have been noticing that females tend to have fuller lips than males. do hormones have much effect on lips? or am I stuck with my really thin ones lol

I'm leaving to have surgery in Montreal tomorrow. I'll be having a vaginoplasty and a tracheal shave. I'm really excited for the results, I am also a bit frightened of the procedures. I have an existential fear of local anesthesia, and surgery in general is just a scary prospect. I'm also not looking forward to the recovery process. If I could just fast forward I would, but I suppose that all good things require some sacrifice. I'm just hoping it all goes without a hitch and that I have a relatively painless recovery. I also had a great party tonight. Not everyone came that I would have wanted, but many of them were out of town on vacation, or working night shifts, so…
