Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

The following surprises me that after writing it out that I went into more detail than I would have last year which makes me wonder if it’s the hormones or not. Also I should mention last year from time to time got looks like (male or female?) where I was made sometimes but now that has completely changed were I am not being made at all (or at least that is how I see it). Any ways here are some recent thoughts and observations from the past week. Some moments from the past week that made me smile Two woman friends and one daughter and I went out shopping at a mall for about several hours. I purchased two bras at JC Penny but was not in the mood to try them on as…

well i guess this is kinda stupid... but i took some pictures today (you can see them in my gallery) and it like shocked me.. for the first time, i actually saw a little bit of a girl in my face. i mean it could just have been good angles or something, but its never looked that way to me... i was just like omg and idk it was amazing feeling. i know its only been 10 weeks on hrt. but ive been waiting forever to feel like this and i was beginning to think i never would. hope everyone is doing well and i just wanted to put up an update where i was actually happy and not bummed about something:) jesslyn=)

Blurgh. So, the last time I was here, I was talking about how great it was that I was coming out to friends and family and that my wife was finally starting to be more accepting. And now... Two steps back... First, she wanted me to stop discussing things among the only transgendered community I know because people on the internet don't know me personally. I was at least feeling okay that I was able to start talking to my few friends in real life... Shortly thereafter, she pointed out that there's always the possibility that I will see a therapist and there will be other circumstances than GID that have caused these feelings all my life, so I shouldn't discuss i…

On Saturday June 14th I will be on HRT for a year now I thought I would post it a few days early. The HRT is doing very well my Breasts are getting nicely shaped , nipples an areolas are larger an no hair on my chest an tummy anymore, leg hair is lighter thinner an softer an takes longer to grow out , forearm hair is softer thinner an lighter. My skin is so much softer an smoother an my legs are really soft an smooth, facial changes are taking place an body fat redistribution an my pelvis is wider (I'm intersex have a female pelvis) Body odor has changed. Everything is so different than it was before My mind is so much different now from the HRT my thoughts an em…

Today's show included Angelika and Jake (I think I saw them before on an MSNBC transgender special once), plus Dr. Marci Bowers. In two weeks, the topic is "Fathers and Husbands Who Became Women." Woo-hoo!!!

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 everybody. I am new to this forum, so I hope there are other people who can share their advice and experience. I had my SRS about a year ago which is the best thing that ever happened to me. To make long story short, and to the point of this topic, I was told before I had SRS that in order to be orgasmic after the surgery, I should masturbate as frequently as possible so that I could be orgasmic after surgery. I must say that this was not an important thing for me - the importnt thing was to get rid of the nasty thing between my legs and be whole. Anyway, I masturbated whenever the hormones would allow me to, which is the most disgusting thing I have ever done, b…

I just recently got started on Hormones :-D, but I've only been on them for three days. Now I know they say you shouldn't notice any real physical changes till 6-8 weeks on hormones. Now I'm not particularly overweight but I have some fat on me, and it seems like a little fat has redistributed to what will soon be my breast area. Definately no tissue growth but it seems like my nipples are a little more sensitive and there's a little more fat there...is this possible or am I imagining things?

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…

Hi All, Well I have been in extensive therapy with my gender counselor and psychiatrist. They have both agreed that I'm a transgender. All the feelings I have had in all my life have been running on a female level in my brain. I came out to my wife about 1 1/2 months ago. She kinda new since I would hint on it all of our marriage. She wants me to be happy in life and told me that at the age of 34 I have a lot ahead of me and should not be miserable. She has seen me through so many problems with alcohol and prescription drugs. Well, we that being said she has told me that she will seek a divorce. Which I cant understand. Se married or thought she married a man as she tol…

does anyone know what the statistics are for parents who accept their (adult) TS children vs. those who do not? example: "79% of parents accept thier child's transsexuality," or "Only 18% of parents are accepting of thier child's transsexuality." please include your source(s). thanks -michael

I just emailed a letter coming out to my parents. I wonder if this feels similar to what it would be like to hit the button that starts WWIII. Nothing to do but to sit back and wait for the return fire.

Is their any way I can have my penis inverted, splitt my strodum, keep my testicals & trhe tip of my penis as a clit and a 'pee menis' while acheving a neo-vagina? I just want to make myself look like a "little dick" male /w a mangina. I still want to be able to stand and pee.

I have been so very interested in reading posts by some of you who have made the shift years in the past, to see how you deal with passing or not passing. What I see in your comments is that the issue seems to be more of a concern near the beginning, but as you fit more firmly in the female role and as you become more comfortable with yourself, it begins to lessen... and eventually as you act confidently in your female role you stop caring (to some degree) about whether you are read. I admit right now that I have some concerns about the passing, and one thing that always bothered me was the thought of NOT passing well... and was it worth transitioning if I could not be…

I would like some feedback regarding how your level of arousel or passion changed since beginning hormones; after 6 mos on them or post op. Best wishes Gordy

HELP ! Does anyone know (or have a link to) what are the current passport rules for transgender people? I heard a rumor that if you are having your surgery within 12 months, they let you put your female gender on your passport, (as long as you have therapist letter), and they will give you a temporary one good for a year. Someone else told me that had been extended to 18 months. Anyone know what the current rule is? I am planning my surgery for August of 2011 with Dr. Brassard in Montreal. Thank you.

Greeetings Has anyone used the injectable pellet therapy? I am talking about these little tablets the size of grain of rice that is inserted into the butt, stomach, thigh, etc. It would seem like the perfect option for the estrogens. They are bioidentical and you would only need a "refill" every 4-6 months. To be a little cynical here... I have posed this question on other boards and have gotten little response. Could it be that so many are taking hormones without a Drs oversight (ie. meds over the net)? These would definately need a Drs intervention to get them. Thx. Leslie

First off, let me start off by saying I understand this is a VERY personal question, so I will not be offended if anyone insists on not replying. I guess what I want to know is, how 'realistic' is the vagina after an SRS? Not just appearance, but along the lines of physical sensitivity? Will I have a G-spot? And...*cough* what about female ejaculation? This is incredibly embarassing to ask, I have to admit -.- But I'm very curious, and would like to know if anyone's willing to share something so personal.

Hello, I been transitioning for almost a year think around 10 months. The thing I have been dealing with everything, lost of job might be related or not. Getting medical treatments, therapy, and prescription; Honestly, it has been difficult, but I am not bothered by it. I deal with more issues from society now then been. I have been keeping a video log and thought others might be interested in seeing. The video log is http://youtube.com/averyny Do not mind the name because I need to change it. Vivianne

I'm curious about something that has me thinking after reading the vagina envy thread. I've heard of amputees who say they still feel their limbs after losing them. Does that happen after SRS also? I would imagine that certain nerve pathways are still functional and active after SRS, they are physically in different locations but the mind might not sense this immediately. Does it take time for everything to start feeling where it is versus where it was? Hope this makes sense. MIWBJ

Finally, a woman: A transgender's story Inquirer.net (blog) An interesting interview with post-op transsexual Ramona from the Phillipines. There are no laws that exist in the Philippines that protect transsexuals or transgenders. That is how backwards our country is on many issues. Science moves at such a rapid pace that new laws have to...

This last week has been rough on me physically. My body has made some incredible progress in the last couple of days. It hasn't been easy. I'm really happy but it I never expected to feel so wiped out. I am achy and very fatigued. Becoming a woman is not easy. I love my widening hips,rounded but and blooming breasts. I just didn't expect it to hurt this much and be so exhausting.

I found this to be pretty interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogens http://www.dietaryfiberfood.com/phytoestrogen.php Phytoestrogens are chemicals produced by plants that act like estrogens in animal/"+human" cells and bodies. They are often trace substances in food, and can also be found in cannabis. These chemicals mimic and supplement the action of the body's own hormones, estrogen (the British spelling is 'oestrogen'). They are a comparatively recent discovery, and researchers are still exploring the nutritional role of these substances in such diverse metabolic functions as the regulation of cholesterol, and the maintaining of proper bone densit…

I went to the post office to pick up a registered mail package today The lady said, can I see your drivers license? I said sure, here's my license. (keep in mind I haven't updated my legal stuff yet to have my new girl name, or new girl pic yet, but will soon) The lady at the counter said: well, this is all very nice, but who are you? I need to see your drivers license. LMAO. I said, well, that is me, for a little bit longer until I get all of my legal paperwork changed. She said, Oh my goodness, I am so sorry, you look great, I didn't even suspect anything at all. She apologized, went and got the package After she came back,. we talked f…
