Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I have been lurking here, and on other tg related message boards for several months now. It feels so strange to finally post somewhere, I guess, this is a major milestone, as I have never communicated with anyone about my condition, ever. I'm just going to rant, I hope someone reads this, this boards seems pretty dead. There have been a few big changes in my life that have forced me to re-examine myself. I just turned 24. I went through a bad breakup. But mostly, a friend of mine recently came out as transgendered. In-fact, she had been taking hormones for over a year, and I was going to say something anyway it was becoming very obvious. She seems to be doin…

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…

Life has taken a big turn for me as of late. Everything that I thought would be concrete and last forever is coming down all around me. I should have known that this would happen. I guess I took too many things for granted and just expected that things would just go on as normal. I have deeply hurt the one I love and have now lost her, there is no going back. I cannot undo the truths that have been spoken. The truth is that since my accident in November of last year that so nearly cost me my life I have spent time taking a real good hard look at myself and something that has been with me all of my life that I have struggled so hard to keep under control has finally broken…

If you were sitting in a room with post-op's and/or some that have been 'out' full time and could ask them any question what would it/they be? I was never shy when given the opportunity and one of the best opportunities is finding local groups. Personally the group I found on the East Coast was not close but did go a few times and made it worth while by asking questions.

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…

I am still waiting to get some more advanced professional counseling with my desire to transition but through the years I have given much thought to Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) because I have always been so uncomfortable with the male genitalia. Most of you have coped with the problem for some time and I am curious if any of you can relate to these thoughts. I will do my best to present the rated G PG version by being more technical in the language please let me know if there is another place to transfer this post. When you have made a loving commitment to your wife and then hit her with the truth about being unhappy in your body it raises all kinds of questions a…

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 want to come out so badly, I'm sick of walking around in this male body with everyone looking at me as a boy, but whenever I'm about to say this sentence to a friend "I'm transgendered and in a few years I plan to become a girl", it just won't come out of my mouth.

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

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,…

So, today I found some free time and decided to finally get the ball rolling on the name change since my family is now more or less on the same page as me and that I now live completely full time since I now *also* work as a woman. Now, the reason I only focused on the name is due to the fact that PA, where I live, states that you can only change your gender on state identification if one of two things occur: Your birth certificate, in the state you were born in, states you are of the gender you are changing it to.. or You have documented proof from your primary care physician as well as the doctor who performed the surgery that state you have undergone complete…

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?

Hi I'm new here. I'm a 16 year old male. or at least I thought I was until a month ago. That's when I realized I was Transgender. So a few days ago I finally Decided that I wanted to start changing. But I don't know we're to start....So I was wondering for those who have made the journey from mtf what was your first step? Thanks....

Today is two things for me. First, it's Australia day, which means my parents are out, I'm not, and I'm having friends over. Second, I'm transitioning today. In an hour one friend will be arriving with my clothes, and... yeah. My parents will come home, and then what happens happens =/ Its a scary thought, just having my parents come home and see me like that.

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…

And said, you can have anybody's body style you wish, and when you wake up the next day, you will have that body, who would you chose? Men and women answer please. I'm thinking Jessica Simpson for me. -Kim

Well, i did come out to my parents a couple weeks ago and it seemed to go fairly well. But one thing that has been troubling me is that my mom keeps asking if there is anything thing else thats not so drastic i can do rather than transition. She along with saying that say that there is nothing at all from my childhood and growing up that would make her think even a little bit that i was feminine. For as long as i've known i've had these feelings inside, i've known that they were different and unique. I knew that they were not something i should be open about and thus i began to keep them hidden. I put on quite a front as a male. I did really what ever i could to be "no…

Hi all just a quick introduction. I am 50, live in Nassau Bahamas, married to a very supportive wife, have 2 daughters and a granddaughter, I am a lesbian if one needs labels. Far as I can find out I am the first and only medically diagnosed transsexual in the Bahamas. Pre op that is. I am a very open trans HIV GLBT activist. If you have any questions feel free. I did a TV interview down here this is part 1 you can follow through to part 4 An interview I did a few months ago http://www.msmnpa.org/issue19/pri2008_s04.php

I had to wait a couple days to post this so that I knew I could keep some composure. My wife and I were at Walmart a couple days ago. We had a few things we needed to pick up, and when we go, we always hit up the movie aisle to see what’s out. 95% of the time it’s just window shopping, and we’re the only ones there, so we take our time. I was at the spot where the racks end before another one starts. I wasn’t in the aisle I was on the end of the rack looking at a couple DVD’s. There was an older man standing there looking at me, as if I was in his way. There was more than enough space if he wanted to go by me. When I was done looking at the movies I wanted to look at…

If a magic fairy came down and said that you could only have one of these choices, at no cost, risk, or pain, which would you choose, if any, keeping in mind that this would be the ONLY thing you could EVER get done. I mean, whichever one you pick, you would never again be able to have either of the other two done, not even at your own cost. sorry, it's an odd fairy. -Facial Feminization -Genital Correction -Voice Correction to any type of voice you want I wonder what this magic fairy looks like -Kim
