Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

i dont like having motel rooms next to men! or anyone also. i would rather live in the countryside or at least no next door neighbors.

my question is not about the technical aspects of changing the voice but how you go about transitioning it in society. i think i can do a female voice, though i cant quite tell on the smartphone recorder. i have changed smaller towns twice recently for other reasons. i dont think strangers should be called sir and maam. but once people or relatives, most who arent friends, have heard you one way, i feel (kind of?) embarrassed to change.

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 -----------…

Hi all, I am actually on hrt 1 month. I use herbal phytoestrogen herbal pilluls. My body has changed very quickly. My skin and body is pale now and when i go through streets, that people see me like woman and when I go dress like man they still see me like woman. I didnt expect so quickly that I have changed to girl immediately. But on youtube channels I have seen many videos of mtf people on hrt who say that process come after 3 months. But my face after 1 month is true girly. and when I take my beard od , I am more so girly.

to start, I will say that I have been on Estradiol and Spironolactone for two months now. I have a question about one of the hormone glands i think it is. I just recently had a blood panel workup done for my hormone levels and one came back higher then expected, it is the prolactin level for the pituitary hormone. as I am new to all this I was wondering if any one in early stages or whatever stage has experienced this and what it is about it I should be looking our for or aware of? also my breast area last two month (happily) have been like super tender and have already budded out a decent amount for friend to say hey your looking good you have boobies. but a small A at…

A good friend shared this Wiki link How to me today on Faceless Book ..... https://m.wikihow.com/Transition-from-Male-to-Female-(Transgender)

Hello, I am a mom of a 16 year old boy who recently told me he is questioning his sexual identity. I am very open, I have a great relationship with him and have been doing a lot of research on transgender transition. I found a gender therapist and had our first meeting today, it was just her and I and he will start next week. I liked her but she brought up some things that got me questioning some things. My experiences with trans MTF has been women who post on YouTube and share (they are all beautiful), an old classmate, who is beautiful, a few people I have seen on TV, who have all been beautiful... all look very feminine. I have another trans friend that is less fem…

Hi everyone. Firstly I would like to say sorry this is my first post and not an introduction in the relevant section. I am Jane, pre-op MtF transgender, 35 years old. I transitioned at 17-20 while starting counseling. From 20 onwards I got the all clear from my doctors and therapist to begin HRT. Hormonally it was a rough start but mood and such settles after a year however mood problems began 5 years go with feeling unwell from the hormones and I opted for just antagonists instead of replacement and even tried cycling on and off estrogen. I have been through 3 doctors, one Endocrinologist outside of my small town even. Right now it has been 1 year straight on antagonis…

The following article takes you through what a transwoman went through while searching for a new job. There are several things to take note of e.g. the person was addressed with the incorrect pronouns and others followed suit because that is what they heard, not saw. These things happen not simply in job interviews but other parts of a trans person's life too. For those who identify as trans should consider who you would handled this putting yourself into their position while keeping in mind this position may very well be the only one available to you, if you don't get it you have no job.

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…

Hi there. Sorry if this sounds like a silly question or if it's in the wrong section of the forum. I am thinking of going to my GP in the hope of being referred to a gender therapist on the NHS. I'm really struggling on how to start the conversation with the doctor. For those who have experience with this before then what did you say to doctor and what did they say back to you? Also what happens in Therapy? Sorry if this sounds pathetic. Amy

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

Well done animation http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/news/a50543/how-does-male-to-female-surgery-work/ For some, something to look forward to and beyond.

I want to start my journey. Am afraid of what is coming but I cant live like this for too long. Please if someone from central florida knows a therapist and a physician I really would appreciate the help. I don't know where to go or who to ask. Thank you

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 …

Stopped taking hrt about 10 years ago after learning of the side effects, can anyone advise me on whether or not this was a good decision.

Since being on hormones, my "headlights" are always on. Is this a common effect of hormones? thanks for your help Kayla

Hi everyone, I've been starting to gather more information about surgery. It's still down the road, but I know there may be some lengthy timing considerations so I want to find out what I need to know so that I'm ready to proceed, well, when I'm ready to proceed :-) The one perplexing question that came up when I was researching cost estimates was about vaginoplasty and oriechtomy. I found that some people get oriechtomy before (or possibly even without) vaginoplasty. My question is, is the oriechtomy procedure part of vaginoplasty if you get that done? So basically, if i'm looking on a surgeon's website and seeing prices for the different procedures, do I have to fac…

I over purchased lubricant and have 10 4oz tubes (paid two dollars per bottle instead of say 6 to 12 dollars per bottle) from equate plus 3 bottles of the same brand of 8 oz and another brand 6 of 4 oz. So here is the deal, I will give the 10 tubes to anyone who will be going through GRS in the next say five months for free that are in the continental USA. The cost to you is picking up the shipping cost which I would provided after the fact. If you can afford the entire shipping cost pay what you can. Trust me when I say you will go through lube like there is no tomorrow in the first month or perhaps first two months. Expiration dates are 1/2017 For the record I am using…
