Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hi Everyone This is just a post to introduce myself, My name is Mercedes, I am 34 years old and living in the U.K. I have started my real life experience on the 30th April this year. My doctor has already referred me to a psychologist (mainly for depression and anxiety) after a few sessions (about 6) I got discharged from her, and referred for cognitive behaviour therapy, my doctor has also started me on hormone treatment, first she started me on an Estraderm TTX patch (They didn't agree with me a brought me out in rashes) she then changed the patches to Estraderm MX patch (these didn't stick well, and now she has put me on Estradot (these are so much smaller and stick …

Hello Everyone my name is Karla and I am originally from the north of England.I am 36. Ever since a young age I have wanted to be female. This at the moment though is not an option, but I am now getting closer to what I want. Society and familial constraints dictate my life in a direction that is not truly me. This is something I hope to rectify in the future, but until then I aim to live my life to the best of my ability's. So a little about my home life. I live with my fiancée, my son who is nearly five months old, also my two step children aged 10 and 11. I have a 14 year old daughter from a previous relationship who I aim to see fortnightly. I also have a blog i…

HEYA EVERYONE! I just wanted to pop in here and kinda introduce myself to the forum, I just recently joined and have gone over some interesting reads so far! I have been following the Transgender Guide on twitter and if you tweet then we should follow each other if you would like to be friends with me! But anyway, that led me here and so here I am :] A bit about myself.. I am 24 and I am of hispanic / icelandic descent. I am a professional web designer / developer and run my own web firm. I am always doing garage projects and am currently tied to building my own transgender community website that is going to offer all types of resources and valuable info for those in t…

You know, I really envy these girls who can define themselves as totally female and have no doubts. For me, I'm on a hopeless roundabout, male to female, then back again. OK, I may have cross-dressed as a teen and had an unusual interest in womens' magasines, and maybe my breasts did swell, and maybe I did have a few fantasies that were, let us say, unusual, But 40 years of male life has left it's mark. It's difficult to ignore these experiences. So, after a long hiatus.I started dressing again, and I joined a few contact sites, and I even posted a few photos. But it just ain't working. I've considered going out and out Gay, but this is not where I'm coming from. I've co…

I now understand the pressure and worries of young girls. I am concerned with all the things that they worry about and what I thought was petty jealousy. When I see a beautiful woman I get so torn up inside. All the "why" questions pop in my head. I am really envious of beautiful women. Not just for their looks but of the aura and power they posses. I hate feeling this way and wish I wouldn't be such a petty little girl.

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.

Is there any information on how common the various conditions in transgender are in the populaton. I would be most interested in U.S. population and location, I see there is map on this site but I am wondering if there is any recent scientific study with some current data. I would hope that the info would include the homosexual population as well. I am also curious about those who who never come out. Obviously there is some guessing involved but has there been any type of study or survey recently that might be useful.

I am a female I am the bleep girl I am the bleep boy I am a female I am a girl girl I hate machismo I love to be love I hate aggressive I want to feel you I want to be love I want to be love I want to live life I want to feel you I want to love you I want to live life

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 -

Hello, I use twitter and found the TG site through there. I hope to post and participate and look forward to using the site and chatting with others. Anabelle xxx

Good news, everyone! I'm in the last stages of foreclosure and my abscess is finally getting unmanageable! Okay, that's not really good news... but it's at least development. I was in such an awful stasis and it's nice to see things changing, even if it's for the worse. I have a job that didn't support my family, but now that we moved into a tiny apartment in the city, it does. I still don't have health insurance, but because my condition's gotten so bad, I'm going to spend the hours and hours at a free clinic that I should have done earlier. I feel like I'm in my early 20's again, failing all over the place, but feeling free somehow. Of course, freedom com…

This says it all...

Hey everyone, I've finally taken the plunge and decided to create my own You-Tube channel. Now it and myself may be a little rough around the edges but please give me a chance. My channel can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/MissEmmaSummers I decided to make it to talk about what my experiences of being Transgendered has been like and also to answer many questions people might have. I also wanted it to be a record of my transition. I love you all loads, Emma xxx

Fall classes will be starting soon and I am going back to school for the first time in more years than I care to remember. I was just wondering how many have retrained or switched to a more gender matching job and how well it has worked for you?

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.

It's saturday and I'm at home, pushing the boundries of my existance! I'm moving a step closer to being in harmony with my male/female. i got to keep going, co's the conflict between me and the world i live in, ends up suffering and there-by do I. I have a wife and 3 teenage children and I've always managed with just my wifes knowledge. Now I find that as I get older (51) I have to bring the "two halfs" together; I think my own body clock is pressuring me. What with the kids and my profession in psychiatry, I can't see that I will ever truly experience "womanhood". On the positive side, I love my life, it's just a bit complicated ! Anyone got any wisdom on how to c…

Well I have an appointment for laser hair removal on my face on the 15th. Well, it's my consultation. I was priced at about £150-£200 per session,well, that's all of my spare cash gone if I go through with it, which I know I am. But they said it would take about 7-8 sessions on average. The sessions would be like every 8 weeks or so.

I've just had a, let's call it a quiet argument with my wife. She wants me to move to Cardiff with her and the children and come out as a gay man, instead of living as a woman. She said it will be easier for me, her and the children. as Cardiff is very transphobic, and so is her family. She also said that her family is also very welcoming and warm towards gay men,as her uncle is openly gay,and her family don't have a problem with gay or lesbians but transexuals is a whole different ball game. Later that night, I cried my heart out and I cried until I had no tears left. I then went out in my car at 2am in the morning and drove towards a cliff edge, I live near the co…

Hi, my names Karen and I am a 54 year old pre-op transexual. I have been living full time for three years now after officially changing my name and coming out to my family, the best decision I have made and my life has never been happier. I am currently awaiting hormones from the Leeds Gender Clinic and have recently started the ball rolling to obtaining my Gender Recognition Certificate. At present I am still seeking full time employment in my new gender although I have done a year working part time in my new gender. I also moderate in a transgendered/fetish chatroom on the internet. Am always looking to meet and make new friends.
