Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I get into the elevator at work; there is one woman already on the elevator. Doors closes, she looks at me and says (actually I forget the exact words) how do you like to be addressed? I know what she is referring too and said, “It’s obvious to you?” and she replied with ‘I am reading a strong female presence from you’. It is not that long of a ride and we both get off on the same floor with nobody around. She told me that a woman in her family is transitioning from female to male, which is one of the reasons she felt comfortable talking to me. I asked her if I was presenting male or myself more as a female? Her response was easily female. I really felt good about this co…

Did any of you notice a change in the texture of your nipples during your transition? Mine seem to be getting tougher, skin seems thicker.

Does anyone live the cougar lifestyle. I will be 43 soon and when it comes time to date it will be with younger men. The estrogen has really made my already youthful looks even sexier.

My day began with a visit to my therapist who said she would have my letter of recommendation out the last week of the month. She asked me when you plan to change your name. I said after surgery is performed. She responded with, no need to wait, I will write you a letter for DMZ and said she is on a list with them for this. I am moving up the date to change my Driver’s license and official name change in general to December instead of March or April as originally planned. Got home and while in the bathroom noticed my bangs were getting long and for the first time decided to have my bangs trimmed by my regular hair stylist. I walk in and the owner gives me a strange loo…

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

As I was growing up I love music all kinds.My fav bands were Kiss Twisted Sister Ratt and just really all the so called Hair bands.I gauss everyone should have known that I was more feminine rather than like my dad and brothers Marine macho guys.......

I've been on hormones and in transition for about 6 years, if I remember correctly, now. My voice has softened, my breasts are much larger, body hair is thinner and less coarse, and I'm much more comfortable in my own skin. Adrianne and I have talked, and I feel I'm ready to go for GCS. I'm going for zero depth. The work and effort to maintain a healthy neovagina with depth is more than I feel I could keep up with. I want to know what it feels like to be penetrated, but the cons outweigh the pros. But there are things I need to know first. 1 - I use electrolysis instead of laser due to tattoos. I have no ink on my genitals, but do I need to have the hair on…

Some weeks/months ago, Dear Abby made the news and the board when asked what should be done with the childhood photos where her brother-in-law is dressed as a little girl. She anticipated that children she would eventually have would ask questions if they saw the pictures. Well, of course they would! This week, in the Thursday paper, she printed the responses she received from several transsexuals. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned here, yet. "Our" advice universally agreed that she should ask her husband to approach his brother about the question and abide by his wishes. Abby took it all very well. Several letters expressed how we feel -- born in the wron…

I’ve only had one procedure so far which was an orchiectomy about a year ago. I have intentions of going for full gender reassignment when I’m able and feel fully ready. But I wanted to see what you ladies who already have can offer as rules and pointers about personal care. I can google this type of thing, but every time I try, all I ever get is a bunch of sick porn sites. So I wanted to “get it from the horses mouth”, so to speak. I want to know absolutely everything I can before I begin the steps to a surgeon.

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…

For admins: Having visited susans place and tgboards, I guess the content below should be acceptable to this site rules. If not admins, please let me know so I can make changes to it. Warning: I do not condone doing HRT by yourself, without the support of a good endocrinologist; as that way you will be putting yourself in the hands of lady death sooner or later. Warning2: YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). Some transgender bodies for example like spironolactona, and hate androcur; some hate both and some hate none. You may change a lot in just 1 month, others do not change at all after 1 year. Current face: - Event, - Medication, - Event+Medication, - Nothing -----------…

Hello I am gathering information about future TG male to female and female to male operations in the United Kingdom in the light of recent events concerning the recent government Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) announced this month. Thousands of jobs in the NHS are already earmarked for cuts as primary care trusts and strategic health authorities are to be abolished as part of the coalition's reforms and it is feared that some hospitals may seek to cut frontline jobs as well. Experts have warned that plans to give GPs greater control over the NHS budget and the reorganisation this will take will cost between £2bn and £3bn, and The Royal College of Nursing estimat…

It may seem far fetched but imagine getting a full 3 dimensional scan of your complete body geometry, This scan would then be entered in to a program that would allow the patient and the surgeon to transform the patient’s body into the precise appearance desired. Once the body shape has been defined, the program would determine what changes would be needed to the physical geometry, hormones, biological function and reproductive function. This means: e.g A MTF would be Totally anatomically, genetically female producing her own hormones, capable of menstruating, giving birth, breastfeeding. It would be absolutely impossible to differentiate between someone born female a…

When I first started HRT I was told what the amounts were for estradiol and spironlactone and followed my doctor's instructions. Two months ago I went in for blood work, she [upped the spironlactone]. Then I get a call indicating I was to [double it] and that's it. So I am now getting ready for my regular doctor's annual physical and was writing down my doses only to learn my estradiol is at [a higher dose than I thought]. So from now on I am going to read my labels rather than assume. Note: I have two doctors, one whom I have been using for 20 years and the other for preparing for my transition. After transition my regular doctor is going to assume all aspects i…

Hi-My endrocologist wants to send me to the Minneapolis area for future possible surgery; but I have a few questions. I've heard good things and I've heard bad things and I'd like to find out from you girls here if you have any information that doesn't come in pamphlet form. thanks. Jolene.

Hi Ladies, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.... So I have a question for you.... I will be beginning hormones on Sept. 4...I am 23 years old. I have used Retin-A off and on for the past two years to treat acne and to help keep my skin youthful...It is an amazing product and does wonders for your skin but it can be harsh at times...I have been "off" for 6 months now and wanting to begin back. SO my question to you is: should I begin hormones and give the hormones X number of months to help soften my skin and smooth it out some and THEN begin Retin-A or should I begin back to Retin-A NOW, while the hormones begin taking affect? Which do you believe will…
