Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Every year I have a medical check-up in great hospitals. I always explain that I am a transsexual woman, as they always register me as female (according to my legal status). So far, I always had good results. However, these past few months I have been feeling depressed and for some reason I thought that it may have to do with hormones. I remember I have had periods of depression throughout my life. I always thought it was a psychological problem, never a fysical. I am taking progynova daily. That's it. Last week I went to see an endocrinologist specialised in transsexuals. She told me that my depression and lack of motivation didn’t surprise her. She said that 5 y…

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

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 favorite colors are Pink and Gold. I want to have an outfit that has both of those someday. Pink's my favorite favorite though, Gold's just my favorite. Tee hee hee, it's fun talking about this. Someday I'd like to wear a pink dress that has gold lacing on it's hem, sleeves, and lover's neckline, with white stalkings and maybe gold or pink or white tennis shoes, and a golden ribbon to tie in my hair. Tee hee hee, it's fun to talk about dream outfits, does anybody else have a 'dream' outfit they want to share? Come on, it's F-U-N! Oh, and to all the members of this forum (Especially Mary Ellen (This is your name right, ooh I hope I got it right, I'm SOO SORRY if I di…

Being six foot eight I was very worried that I would never pass for female. Despite this, I seem to have been fairly successful over the past year. Even before I started transitioning I've always stood out in a crowd. The comments went from, "Wow, that guy's tall!" to "Ha ha! Look at the fag." to "Is that a guy or a girl?" and finally "Wow, that's a tall chick!" What really takes the cake, however, is an incident that happened today. I've been working at a new job for about a month now. This is the first job I've ever had where nobody knew me as a guy. Today one of my coworkers came up to me and asked if I could spare a tampon. Now, I'm not exactly stealth, so I was a…

Dear all, I'm started with Herbals to change my hormonal system. It works but slowly and steady, slower hair grow, breast grow and more feelings towards my changes to Female. Less sex drive. But my body shape is ad this moment not changed. Also my mood and depressions went a way. I'm reading a lot on taking the hormonal treatments. And like to start on it as soon as possible. I like to have some live information from those having had the hormonal treatments. Did it changed the emotions, feelings, mood swings, body and did you like this changes? Love Hanske.

With all the talk about the side effect of hormones, does anyone know which form is best? Is it better to go the patch route or the gel. Is one pill safer than another? I use the sublingual form which is said to go directly into the blood stream thus avoiding liver damage. Would the patch be better? I sure could use some opinions from girls that are more experienced than me. :)

I have an appointment to see my gender therapist on the 2o=0th July. That's cool and everything but my wife wants to come along to the sessions, to hear what the therapist has to say and to hear what I say to the therapist. She said she still doesn't believe I'm transgendered and that we haven't explored all avenues and she won't quit on me until we've explored every avenue. I was like WTF, it seems as if I'm a kid and she is my mom taking me to see a docotor to find out what is wrong with me. How do I talk her out of this or what do I say to her. I have no idea what to do ?

Hi, I have some questions about HRT. I was wondering what effects are typical during the first month. I've been on Spirotonin and Estrofem for about a week now. I have read online that you can feel mental changes within the first few days. It's been a week and honestly I feel 0 effects. [Could] my dosage [be] too low. Just curious what's normal the first month. Transtioning takes years so I'm being patient, but just curious.

Okay, here's the scoop. All my life I have hated my penis and only wanted a vagina. I have never cross-dressed. My only dream is to have a vagina. I have no great desire to wear dresses or look feminine. But having a vagina is a deep seated desire going back to my pre-teen years. 50 years of life hating your penis every single day, but keeping your feeling hidden under a rock for fear of ridicule and persecution. Only now, bring my feelings to light and dealing with them. In a perfect world, I would have SRS and remain in my male body, I wouldn't have any problem with that. I look in a mirror and cannot picture myself as a woman. I am 6'4 with big hands and…

I really want to start on estrogen, but I don't know what to expect. A little bit of background....... About five yeas ago I came to the conclusion that I was an intersex person. Although I'd known for years that I had Klinefelters Syndrome, I had no idea what that meant. Because there was very little information on it when I was dx'ed I had ignored it, hoping it would go away. But five years ago, I was told that I had to go on testosterone to treat some conditions brought on by the existence of Klinefelter's. My testosterone level at that time was very low. I had also been tested for estriadol and it was low too. At that time I was over 50, had always thought …

I know there's a member intro forum on here but I see more activity here. Here's my deal... I am a 40 y.o. male. By the time I was 9, I knew that I did not identify with my assigned gender but didn't know the words to put with it. I would go to my cousins' and play barbies with them. Throughout elementary school I kept female friends and would play house with them at recess. I even found my mother's little girl cloths she kept in a dresser in our guest room and would play dress up alone. Back then there just wasn't anywhere to turn...you were just directed on how boys were to act. To this day I've kept up with dressing up in private and have a very understandi…

hey all. well something pretty dramatic has happened, and I'm a little bit shocked but very happy. I have always thought I could never fall in love with someone who wasn't female, I have just always been attracted to the female body. Today i was on a lesbian chat room which I sometimes go to, and I got a message from a guy asking if he minded chatting with him, so anyway I decided sure i'd happily chat with him as long as he wasn't after sex or anything. So we chatted for a while and ended up trading MSN names. and have been talking for hours since. Anyway, so now I;m seriously questioning my sexual orientation and all.

ok.. as u can obviously see from my pictures, i def need my chin and jaw done.. not to mention my nose.. so where can i get pretty accurate info on getting these procedures done.. and the prices i can expect.

My wife finally admitted to lying about me committing sexual abuse to her, I feel so relieved, god I just want to cry. She confessed to my father and to her solicitor after he said to her, if this is a lie then you will get found out eventually, so it looks like her nerve went, I mean a person who lies about stuff like that to me should carry the same sentence for committal of the act, but anyway. Just glad that the truth has come out. I have an appointment with my Solicitor on Monday so we see where we go from there. Hugs Melanie x

The Butterfly Within If I was a caterpillar, the forest would see me as a caterpillar. But everyone would know that there was more to me. That beneath this ugly exterior there was something beautiful. And one day, she would be allowed to become her true self, To spread her wings and fly. And the world would marvel at such beauty. I am not a caterpillar. Nobody knows there is more to me than what they see. If they knew the beautiful creature that wanted to spread her wings, They would demand that something so beautiful was wrong. Unnatural. Ignorance and hate would deny such beauty. …

If money was no object at all, what makes some women feel they MUST have SRS, while others are perfectly content as is. Of course I understand that assimilation into the female populous is a need for all women, just wondering why some dont care about SRS while others will get it done if it's the last thing they do. Take finances out of the picture, what are the driving reasons? Also, I was wondering what needs to be done physically, if anything, before you can actually change your drivers license/passport etc. Can you also get your birth certificate changed? -Kim

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...

With the pain and depression and stress that comes from knowing you are in the wrong body, and therefore must have felt depression at some time, has any Dr. given you antidepressants hoping that will make things *ok* for you? I would suspect that some would, and I was wondering if you thought this actually made it 'worse' rather than better. Because I know first hand that SSRI's can make you feel apathetic, and unmotivated. Modern medicine sometimes like to 'suppress' pain rather than deal with it head on.

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…

Hello I am Kelly and I am a 31 year old mtf pre op ts for 10 years now.I always felt mostly feminine since I was 7 years old and never felt masculine.At first,I did get into my mom's closet and tried on some of her heels and pantyhose which I liked.I bgan crossdressing after that and I knew this was not enough in my late teens.Finally I was at a crossroad when I was 19 and decided on the transition.My mom was very concerned about me and I broke the news to her about this first.It was good news,she told me that she loved me regardless and saw I was in lot of pain.My father otherwise was tearful when I told him and he thought it was his fault not raising me as a boy right.I…

Hello All I decided that tomorrow will be the big day that i come out. my dad is working afternoon/nights, so it will just be me and my mom home. Since i feel more comfortable talking with her i decided this would be the perfect time to tell her. I wrote up a letter and i'm going to show it/ go over it with my therapist today to make sure everything is well written, and worded right. I've gone over it again and again and i feel pretty comfortable with how it turned out. So as long as everything seems ok when i go over it with my therapist today then tomorrow is the day i do it. My emotions are going crazy, and i can actually feel them stirring up inside (if that makes …

Hi, Every time that I see my therapist she asks me if I have been losing more weight. At this point I don’t think that my weight loss is a big deal. I’ve looked up the Body Mass Index range for a person of my body type and height and I’m still above the minimum suggested weight. She has suggested that I maintain my current weight and I’ve been doing that for a while. I don’t know if this makes any sense, it’s not that I feel guilty about eating, I just feel happy when I don’t eat. I’ve also come to enjoy the “hunger buzz” that I get when I don’t eat. I don’t feel I’m starving myself because I don’t feel all that hungry. Anyway I’ve got this thing going on wit…
