Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I found this well written and informative: How many trans women have successfully transitioned?

I made this a couple years ago and it's all very medically technical as far as terms but covers all the basics of what to expect when going through HRT. You can look up terms for greater explanation of them.

I read this blog today and thought it was certainly worth sharing - Beth "I look at being trans as a blessing, not a curse. You think I wouldn't have loved to have been female from birth? Yes. Am I envious of younglings like Kim Petras and Jazz who either got to or are growing up as girls and have loving parents who helped them do so? Yes. You think I wouldn't love to go through a day without hearing about a transperson being disrespected or killed somewhere on the planet? Yes. You don't think that some days I would love to just be another 6'2" statuesque Black woman on the planet blithely going about her day and not having to constantly do hard solid thinking abou…

So today I did something brave. I went online and well was researching some things. So I measured my feet and got a real good accurate measurement. I found a really cute pair of high heel boots that were in my size. This is my first pair of heels. I had a base to go off of since I have tried some on before so I kinda new what size I would need. But I measured like 3 times to make sure they will fit. I can't wait for them to show up. It is the real first time I said screw it and just said whatever I really don't care what people think anymore. I have already lost just about everyone in my life that was important to me. Just by being not all my self. They don't even know wh…

I lay here in bed trying to sleep and I just can't keep my eyes closed I have so much on my mind and its so powerful. I wish I was a girl I want to be a girl but I'm here stuck as a man but one day I hope I wish I will become who I've always wanted to be.

Hello all these are just some observations I've made along my journey. I would love to know if any body has had similar or contradictory experiences. I still haven't changed my name or gender so all my paperwork appears as my old male self. When I present my I.D. I get a long pause as the person's brain re-aligns. I'm not good at reading faces, so I don't really know what kind of reaction they are having. Most of the time I've been treated kind. One time when I was getting some tests done at the VA a medical tech came out to the waiting room and announced "I need Richard LASTNAME". Sheepishly I approached her. "Richard LASTNAME" she says again in a louder voice. I'…

(I apologize in advance for anything possibly offensive I might say. This is my first time ever going into this much detail about this.) Hello. For the time being, I am choosing to keep my name private for personal comfort. I am not sure how active this forum still is, but this seemed like a good place to look for possible help, or even advice. I am 22 years old. For my entire life, I have lived as the gender I was assigned at birth, Male. However, once again I am questioning my gender identity. This is not the first time I have; however, this is the first time it has been this intense or serious before. I can count two other times t…

Hey all. I'm new here. Forgive me if I am asking something already covered a million times. I scrolled several pages in and really didn't see anything like what I want to ask. Anyway... Just starting my Trans Journey at age 53. I live in Casper, Wyoming which is literally THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! Hard to find one site that spells everything out in detail what I need to do to keep moving forward on this Journey. At the current time I am starting to research doctors and therapists because I know down the road they will need to sign referrals for any surgeries. So my first question is, how do I find a good therapist, or psychiatrist that I know is going to be …

Surgery Could Give Men Wombs of Their Own Within 5 Years https://ca.style.yahoo.com/post/133592340825/surgery-could-give-men-wombs-of-their-own-within-5 That’s the question provoked by last week’s announcement that the Cleveland Clinic is performing uterus transplant surgery on women who were born without a womb or whose uterus is diseased or malfunctioning. Hearing the news, we, and some of you, wondered: If science can transplant a uterus into a woman, can it transplant one into a man? The answer is yes. Theoretically, men could receive a uterus, carry a baby to term, and give birth. But what really blew our minds is that the day of male pregnancy is closer than you’d …

Hey my names Jessica I'm 17 and how do i measure for pantie size?

I did a search through the forums before writing this and I didn't come up with any results, so I thought I'd ask. Can trans-women get PMS even without a menstrual cycle? Beeeecause I'm pretty sure I'm on mine. I've always had something that I've lovingly referred to as a "hormone spike" that started when I was living with a two room mates, one of whom was female. Back then we were directly in sync so I attributed it to being more of a sympathy things as my symptoms were present but not pronounced. I was also living with a much lower dose of hormones back then and had been on them for a much shorter period. At least back then it was easy to know what was happening - if sh…

I have some questions about hormones for anyone who is willing to answer. I am a pre hrt mtf, my questions are does anyone know the best way to start hrt if you have very little money and possibly how I might go about doing it?

What was your favorite part about transitioning? Trans Women Explain Their Favorite Parts of Transitioning https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7xe8pz/trans-women-explain-their-favorite-parts-of-transitioning

Ever since I hit puberty I've thought to myself "this is wrong". Now I'm 25 6'6" 185lbs and I really want to switch. But I don't know if my height will be a problem. Please, some advice would be great.

I know results may vary but if perhaps a meta analysis were to be carried out on dosage level vs effect what might the data suggest? Well to the question. I am close the the hrt administration stage and will be pushing for the option of anti androgens and low dose oestrogen. Why? Well ideally I want to ease the mental torment and hopefully taste the "feeling of well being" so often expressed. I also want my face given a feminine boost via complexion and modest fat redistribution. I do not want to expedite any other physical change but appreciate that i could still end up with no facial change at all but a couple of "Dolly Parton" specials! In other words, you don't get…

what is a good strong fast working female becoming pill for me to start taking

One more step... I am not full-time but working steadily toward it. something inside pushed me to do it. I called Macy's and asked to get in touch with the MAC counter took apointment for a make-up lesson, the lady noted it and set it and asked me "for you ? " "yes". D-Day... nice lady's trousers, long slim top I am getting used to my new female haircut, hiding the mandatory earrings. At the counter, I was surprised that the make-up artist was a beautiful young man. I asked him for chosing the colors as I was a perfect debutante. M yidea was to test only for foundation and powder so my make-up was not very visible today. He not only looked but tested .…

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....

I had a disturbing experience last night. I was following the US election on Twitter when I noticed that a T-girl I follow was getting abuse from a man that she had chided for his comment that he had 'voted for Romney because he is white'. This man started to send her a heap of vile transphobic abuse and got his troll friends to do the same. I decided that I would take some of the hate from her shoulders, as she was clearly upset, and told the man that he did not have the right to call anyone a 'tranny and hoe' ( I assume that means whore). Naturally I then became the target. 'oh are you a tranny to, I bet mines bigger than yours' along with a drawing of his penis. …

I'm not sure how I should start this or what way to word what I need to say, so I guess I will start from the start; I know I have always liked women and I don't see that changing any time soon. But I have always had problems with the way in which my body looks, I'm never the right weight, I either see myself as too heavy or too skinny; this causes my weight to fluctuate a lot of the time. I don't see a Males body when I look at myself a lot of the time, I have wide hips, quite narrow shoulders and a fairly small waist. But this isn't exactly what I am here to chat about, I have always gotten on better with and been myself more around women or gay lads; around straight la…

I started HRT on November 10, 2017 and now that my health insurance deny me again and stats breasts augmentation surgery is not cover in my insurance. I have United Health Care Community Plan it’s NYS Medicaid. The surgeon I pick exams me on March 8, 2018 in his notes say I achieved size A cup. I can’t believe the doctor mess my chance to get breast augmentation/ reconstruction surgery. I ask the surgeon office if they do work with transgender female and going by their word. I still wear no bra. Everyone I interact with is really delaying me to achieve my goal. I feel so hopeless and being deny is just making me depressed more. I turn 40 on November 26 2018. My…

My wife and I have been looking into it, and from what we have seen, Thailand is not only one of the most affordable places to go for transgender surgeries, but also one of the best. We're going over prices of everything right now from flights, to hotels, to doctors and procedures, pretty much everything. I've found a few clinics that look really good and are pretty reputable from what I've seen. Everything is in Bangkok, so we'll get to see a bit of the sights. But I'm posting this to see what everyone else has to say. Has anyone made the trip? How were your doctors? Are there any doctors or clinics you would recommend? I know there are a lot of highly skilled doctors do…

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…

Hi, my name is Lucia and I am a Male to female in the early stages of my transition. Ever since I have came out to my family and some of my friends, it seems like everything has fallen apart. My family has limit me from going to therapy and doesn't like where its located(its located in an area where its populated mostly by gays, lesbians and more.) My family is religious and doesn't believe in Transsexuality and think its an abomination, they also said even if I get SRS that I still be a man and stuff ='(. I attempted to go to therapy on my own, but I can't due to my family.Also I feel insulted by my mother due to her saying things like I don't have any features of a woma…
