Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Hi, I'd be really interested in hearing experiences of people revealing their transsexual status to unsuspecting partners. Has anyone come clean about this with a love interest who only knows you as your "new" gender? How did he/she take it? I actually have never done this, and I've dated several guys. I have not dated anyone for three years though, because I made a deal with myself that the next guy that I met who I felt something for (and who seemed to feel something for me) I would just be honest with him and tell him the truth. There is someone who I'm considering telling...but I'd love to hear anyone else's experiences with this type of thing. Thanks so much…

I am looking for longer vaginal dilators and am having lots of difficulty with it. I need at least 9 inches if not more as I want to continue the depth increase I have noticed and the 7 1/2 inch dilators I have are very diiffciult to even keep inside due to the inadequate length. ANy resources? all that I have looked at are shorter than the ones I have.

heres a generic quiz I made to see if you are or will become a transsexual for those who are still questioning themselves. criticism is welcome. take the quiz and please dont take the quiz too seriously, i made it in an hour and im no professional or anything

(5-7-05)~ BREAST IMPLANTS ....An Inside Story ~ I had a breast augmentation done in April of 2001. If you've been considering the procedure, this article is my attempt to let you know just how things went with me. I'm not saying that my experiences will be yours, nor is this an expert's primer on all there is to know about boob jobs. Total cost for my outpatient surgery with tax and all was 4.5 K. My surgeon, located in Fort Lauderdale, is locally-famous for doing all the "HOOTERS Girls" here (HOOTERS is a restaurant famous for busty skimpily-clad waitresses). During our consultation, photos were taken, and I was shown a book filled wi…

Houston, TX -- An employee at a Macy’s in San Antonio was fired for not allowing a transgendered shopper to use the store’s women’s fitting room, saying doing so would violate her Christian beliefs. Read the news article: Macy’s worker reportedly fired for not allowing transgender shopper into dressing room

Hi !!! It is Virginia I am still learning my way the site. So, if I seem like I don't quite know what I'm doing, it is no surprise. I hope to make some friends. The town I live is so lonely and boring. There is nowhere to go and not much to do. And I am too afraid anyway. I wish to find a place I can feel comfortable to be myself with nice friends. So, talk to me!!! I hope we can all have fun together - Virginia - :)

Hello, I'm not planning on transitioning but am still curious about the effects of hormones on emotional well being. One of the reasons I decided not to seek out hormones is I tend to be a worrier and almost never feel confident. My reasoning was, if I'm emotionally this way already, I'd really dislike it if hormones increased those more. For those who have dealt with alot of those feelings, how did hormones effect them in you? Thanks! MIWBJ

As a kid, my dad wasn't around much. He and my mom got along like cats and dogs. I was basically raised by my two older sisters and my mom. No big surprise, I had developed a genuine fem. personality. I didn't know any different. I didn't understand why people made the comments they made. "And what's your name little girl?" "Tomboy". As I got older the comments became more colourful. I just shrugged most of it off. Then one day it hit me when one of my sisters was visiting. I was just being myself. suddenly she blurted out "Oh quit acting like a girl". I wasn't acting. I felt very awkward in front of everyone. I learned who and what I am. It took along time, but, I fi…

Is it just me, or do you too find the term shemale, not only very incorrect but also very offensive? Now don't get me wrong, (Im not having a go at ANYONE - Im just having a B.i.t.c.h) but that term, "shemale" to me invokes images of things that I don't even want to talk about. Now Im not a prude either and have been around the block once or twice (or five times) it just that, well you know....... We are not shemales....we are people, with hearts, emotions and feelings, We are not "things" to be treated with contempt and disrespect. As humans everyone has a god given right to be treated with respect by their fellow man, and as a Trans person, or as a trans community we a…

What should I expect? Should I already doing some bra or sport bra shopping? The only way I see breast clevage is when I’m in the mirror pressing my breasts together and standing on my side I see small clevage. When I am facing front of the mirrior face ahead I don’t see any breast clevage when I’m pressing my breasts together. I read that transgender women who started late on HRT in older age won’t achieve the same as a teen transgender female breasts development.

I'm currently 20 years old and had been thinking about my existence in the world. I truly think i was not born a boy but a girl. So therefore, i have a few questions i need to ask before i can start going throught the transformation process I heard about taking anti-androgens before taking estrogens/progesterone. is that a must and can someone explain to me why it is so? My figure had always been very girly, i am only 5'3 and my build is very tiny and not a bit muscular. Many times i had mistakened as a tomboy when i go out with a little bit of makeup on my face. is that a good thing? Also, what sort of process should i take in order to fully transform into a girl? i …

So...my wife said she'd buy me boobs for Christmas I'm trying to do a bit of research, and I'd like a little info from you all if you happen to know. First off, what types of implants are used? I know the norm is a saline implant, and silicone implants are sometimes used. Aside from the possible health risks with silicone, which of these two are going to look more natural? Also, I still haven't started my HRT yet (hopefully in the next month or so). Now, assuming I some how come up with the money in a timely fashion, should I wait a length of time before getting the implants, to let the hormones kick in? Or is this not a concern? Anyways, thanks all!

Heyy everyone. I have read some of the boards and I know this will vary on case by case basis and the dr's will give me in depth knowledge. THIS IS STRICTLY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND OPINION. Are the hormones taken BioIdentical? Or is it the chemical kind? Also I see people taking pills but from my research they say that it is bad for liver and shots are better?? Opinions on this?

I was switching channels a day or two ago, trying to find something possibly interesting to watch. There is a doctor, I believe his name is Dr. Oz, who has a program about human health. He was talking to a woman who seemed to have had breast reduction surgery because the weight of her large breasts were causing back problems. She said she felt more comfortable with more moderate size breasts.

Hi, I would love to transition MtF but cannot do so at least for now. But to prep my body for full HRT I am considering taking an anti-androgen to reduce my testosterone to female levels. I would greatly appreciate hearing from girls that are on anti-androgens only and what effects they experienced. Thanks for helping, Loe'

Hello, Im new to the site but was trying to get some input and replys from individauls using T-Blocker's and how they are working for them. I just started taking 2 differant medication's used as I was told by my Dr. as Testorine blocker's. I am taking Spironolactone,and Proscar(Finasteride). I was told I could use both in combination in the hopes of deturring facial and body hair. I am currently under going electrolysis for beard removal and just wanted to get some feed back from anyone using iether of these 2 medications as T-Blocker's,specifically how long it takes too see visable results and how these medications have worked for other's. I was told Proscar might dim…

I read at an internet website about breast development for transsexual women, the development of breasts for transsexual women is usually different in certain respects from genetic women. The common differences in genetic male chest size apparently often or usually results in the breasts of a transsexual being smaller, more spaced apart, with a transsexual fitting into a 36B bra not having as large breasts as a genetic woman fitting into a 36B bra. I seem to pretty much fill in my unlined 36B bras. Yet when not wearing a bra, my breasts seem quite smaller than those of my wife, whose bra size is 34A. From a frontal view, my breasts eeem no more than a 34AA compare…

So, it seems like things are going a little better with money lately and I was thinking of trying to open a discussion with my wife again and bring up the possibility of my starting hormones. We don't have any insurance whatsoever. Does anyone know how much I should expect to pay or if there are any online companies (legitimate) that would be cheaper than the local pharmacy?

I went to see my gender therapist today, it was my final assessment session and she diagnosed me as Transsexual and I start hormones in two weeks time and can access all the NHS surgeries too. I'm so relieved finally after all this time.

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…

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 …

ok, I don't know what is going on, but I'm still not on HRT yet as I've been waiting for three weeks now to receive my letter, but that's a different subject. 1. Why am I trying my best not to use foul language, when I used to swear like a trooper? 2. Why is it that all I want to do is talk to my friends about my feelings, their feelings, how their kids are doing, how my kids are doing and just being REALLY in to feelings and emotions, how my friends are feeling etc etc when before I wasn't too concerned. 3. Why is it that when I put on a boys shirt ( I still have two or three lying around ) I feel repulsed ? 4. Why am I getting upset about my hair all of the time? …

I'm almost 19 and I'd like to at some point start this process. I'm terrified of doing it and have been visiting these forums since I was about 15. I used to think that I would just immediately start up on all this when I'm 18 and not go to college or anything, but then I realized that I should probably finish college first and get some more things in order before I start to make any drastic changes. 22 is still really young, right? Anyway, I'm like super hairy and it's driving me crazy. I have hair on my chest and all over. My legs are SO hairy and my arms are pretty hairy too. Facial hair has been coming in more and more over the years and it's driving me nuts. I HAT…

I'm just in a curious mood and can't sleep tonight. Who's on HRT (Hormon Replacement Therapy) MTF? How long have you been taking F hormones? Self medicated or with Dr. supervision. How do you feel about your HRT? Would you ever stop HRT? Even if you were told you had to. Has taking hormones changed your perspective on life? I have been on F hormones for a year and a half. One year and 3 months self medicating and 3 months with Dr. supervsion. I strongly recommend Dr. supervision. I am much more confident about my decision now. I really like my HRT and enjoy every bit of it. I don't think I could ever stop HRT. I feel so much more normal now…

Hey everyone its your main girl tiff, sorry i haven't been on for a while but i've been going through a lot with family and friends and well you know how everything goes. But thats not the point for me posting this. So I've been on hormones for about 6 weeks and I have never felt better. Im much more calm now and I feel very much at ease with myself. My skin is softer and I've noticed that I've started to grow breasts. Slowly i've noticed that the fat around my midsection has gone down a little and has redistributed to my hips and booty. The real reason for me posting though is because lately I've been gettiing headaches much more than usual, they aren't bad just li…
