Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

I heard vaguely that certain HRT drugs can result in different changes to the body. As in one drug might cause a person to fill out in the butt, but another might cause more breast tissue. Is this true? Which ones to what, if so?

Ok, now I am posting this ponderance for consideration..... There are so many unanswered questions that rattle around in our heads how do we know that there are any true answers , well I think that for every person the answers are different, For me the question I most often ask is when will this end ... Does it ever end and the answer I have continually come across is No , we will always be striving for the ellusive acceptance for who we are ....Not every peron in this world will accept us for who we are , they may humor us and let us carry out our lives as we see we need to , but they wont completely accept us as our genetic counter parts , is this a bad thing.... No …

Hi everybody. I am new to this forum, so I hope there are other people who can share their advice and experience. I had my SRS about a year ago which is the best thing that ever happened to me. To make long story short, and to the point of this topic, I was told before I had SRS that in order to be orgasmic after the surgery, I should masturbate as frequently as possible so that I could be orgasmic after surgery. I must say that this was not an important thing for me - the importnt thing was to get rid of the nasty thing between my legs and be whole. Anyway, I masturbated whenever the hormones would allow me to, which is the most disgusting thing I have ever done, b…

Hi Jo Jo, wanted to tell you that I enjoy your posts, they are very honest and forthright. After reading in the topic "Pollaxed" that you were forced back into the closet, I am wondering, how is that possible for you. Did you come out to your wife, live it for a while, and then were forced back in the closet in order to keep your family intact? That sounds awful, during this time that you have been hiding, were you able to express your female side at all? Does your wife really think it is that easy to switch back into her husband, that the other side of you is forgotten? During the time you have gone back undercover, has your marriage thrived for it? Sorry for all t…

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…

I'm having kind of a tough time right now. I have to go off of my hormones in preparation for surgery. I've been off of them for about four days now and I'm really starting to feel tense. It's like I have all of this pent up destructive energy that's tearing me apart from the inside. I'm just plain angry for no reason and it's driving me nuts! Does anybody have any advice on how to get through this? I can't relax, I certainly can't sleep, and I'm having violent fantasies about beating up local gangsters (who I ironically despise because they are violent). This is just not good. I don't know how long I can put up with this.

Hola im new to this forum im a male teen from bolivia i saw this pic on the internet: http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/im...e_as_female.jpg i would love to do this but i dont really get the single steps =( does anyone knows the guide belonging to this pic or a similiar guide?

Hey everyone. I know the idea of talking hormones around here is a tad bit, um, touchy, but I was curious if anyone had any helpful insight on this issue. My friend who is in law school, and also a trans individual, has told me this is 'all in my head' or just completely unrelated to my taking spirotone. At any rate, about a week ago, last monday, I began taking spirotone (generic spiro anti androgen meds.) Now, the first concern I have is, ever since about the third or fourth day, anytime I take it, shortly after (sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes as quick as 15 minutes) I feel weird aching-like sensations in the, um, crotch area. It isn't specific to any ge…

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 have compiled a lists of things people have said and asked me during my transition. Its funny lot of these things have come from My sisters, girlfriends, guy friends, guys I have dated, exwife! Most have come from women though, makes me wonder if its not good to be a girl then why aren't they men? Here they are: Why do you want to be a girl??? Why do you want to cut off your penis? Why do you want breasts? Why do you want a vagina? Vaginas are too much maintenance! Gynecologist visits are not fun at all! You know having a period isn't fun! Hey can you just keep the breasts and not get rid of your penis, I would enjoy you better! Can you have…

As I live in Thailand carrying out research on T-matters, I wondered why all Thai transsexuals are sexually orientated towards men. I haven't met anyone yet who changes from boy to girl and then turns into a lesbian. My husband is a SRS surgeon in Bangkok and most of his clients are western transsexuals. He is always surprised to learn that most of them are (or have been) married (with children) and their sexual orientation is towards women. In Thailand this fenomenon is quite unusual. Although there are more transsexuals than streetlights in Thailand, they haven't been married to women before they transitioned. Kind regards... Pantau (I am myself 25 years post-op (tra…

When I was little, I wanted to be all kinds of things, but my wife wanted to be Aquaman when she grew up. So I started asking everyone what they wanted to be. Some of the bes responses I got were, "cashregister" and "dinosaur." The best answer I've heard so far is, "happy," but that's not what I was looking for; I'm looking for the fun and silly things then or now that you might like to be. My answer today would be, I wanna be a Pirate. So, what do you want to be? (I hope it's not too off-topic)

Y'all were so cool here, and althought I haven't been around much for a long time now, I figured I'd let you know, I'm finally at the end of this segment of my journey. This Thursday is my official "work announcement" by management to my department. Friday's a half day in male mode. Saturday's my last day in male mode altogether (spending it with my family). Sunday's the first day of the rest of my life as Jen. And Tuesday is my first day back to work as Jen. Legal name change is in the works, will come through fairly shortly. Scared to death, along with excited. And sort of dazed -- hard to believe the last two years have gone so quickly. And that I've go…

This is a question for real transexauls. I have had thoughts of being female since the age of six when I stared looking in clothing catalogs. And I would say that I have never identified as a typical male. As I have gotten older I have had somewhat constant feelings of femininity. I have done crossdressing but at times I doesnt seem to be enough. If I had a choice I would choose to be a female. But because of family and religion mixed with fear. I don't know what to do. I have taken some natural hormone stuff to develope breast but stopped, since I feared being caught. I feel stronger than ever the urge to be female. Oh yeah i dont want to be a draq queen.My question is…

:unsure: Hi, it is Virginia again. I have so many fears and questions regarding my transition. I'm I too old for surgery? (47) How do they create a vagina? Is it convincing? Will I be all scared up? What is the average cost. Are there financing programs? - Virginia -

I should be working but can’t seem to focus, my mind is elsewhere. There’s some 70 + sleeps left till’ my GRS. I can think of nothing else this morning. I wonder to myself; Will my new vagina look nice?(lil' vain I know), I’ve seen many turn out very natural looking n’ pretty while others not so much … will mine work properly n’ orgasms be achievable?, I’ve read several accounts were much of the sensation was lost by 6months post-op (that’s a bit scary) … I am happily married to a woman so is depth even important to me?, I think I’d at least like to be average compared to other transwomen. I hope surgery goes well, as with any surgery there’s always a possibility of c…

Hi, I had a question about transgenderism. I'm a 24 gender questioning youth MTF and had a couple of questions. First, i was wondering if can do male oriented things like hunting, shooting guns, etc and feel female inside. I never crossdress before and don't really know if i could pass a woman due to big size 12 mens shoe, short hair, and a 38 mens waist.. However, when i walked by the womens clothes they look sexy and attractive . I wish can grow breasts and wear a bra. This started in my teenage years when i saw girls developing and then i wanted those chariacteristics like breast, long hair, etc. I have no real indications in the past like wanting to fix my hai…

Those of you who know me are aware that I have been "out" everywhere except work. However, the past 3 weeks I have been coming out at work more and more. several months ago, I started wearing nail polish at work. A month ago, I got my ears pierced, and have been wearing the stud earrings all the time. For the last three weeks at work, I have been wearing eyeshadow, mascara, all girl clothes, I have been wearing jeans, blouses, panties, pantyhose, woman's shoes, bracelet, my cute dainty woman's watch, etc. Thursday I will take it yet another step and wear high heels, I have already advised a couple of people that I will be wearing high heels on Thursda…

I want to start by saying that being trans gender is not a choice. I am pondering life as my wife just told me on Thursday she was leaving. I ran the gauntlet of emotions since then. I am torn into two sides, one side of me is broken and sad the other side is a little happy to be free. If I could have changed my mind somehow and stop being trans tomorrow I WOULD. That being said I reflect on the negatives of being trans. Lieing ....we hide everything about everything til I guess it's too late. Are we to blame, is society to blame for making us hide who we are? What choice did I have when caught as a child many times by my parents and told how horrible it is. How it was mo…

I picked up my first bottle of Prometrium tonight on the way home.

My sister inlaw outed me on face-book and one of my young adult relatives wrote me this letter in reply... I am really down today.. I will have to bleap some of the slang.. Relative writes " I should stay out of your personal life, but I'm concerned with what you are doing to my family.. Look, I really dont care what you do in your free time but when you have 5 young children and a wonderful wife at home, this is the kind of stuff that should be done BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. I have honestly never heard or scene anyone that I know personally do something so selfish before. You have single handedly pushed my beautiful aunt into alcoholism and it wouldnt surprise me tha…

I just ordered a pair of cheap breastforms. I was wondering if anyone knew anything reliable about adhesives and breast forms. Anny recommendations? Will it damage them? How easy is it to remove or am I screwed as soon as I try? I was thinking spirit gum might work, but that might be overkill. Theres some stuff called for stockings, I dont know if that would work or how well. Theres a bunch of different tape type adhesives for wigs and such. Can anyone here tell me how to stick it?

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 - :)

hi everyone.. im seeing a therapist monday and i am planning on starting my transition very soon. my big question is that i just turned 22 and since i was like 19 ive been bodybuilding to fight the feeling of me being a woman.. thought it was a phase. so now im right about 200 lbs and im 5'9 i dont have a big frame by anymeans i could be very passable before i started lifting.. so will i be able to drop the muscle and can i look towards getting some hip fat and such, (i have very low body fat atm) how soon do u think changes will happen cuz i just started growing my hair out about a month ago

It suddenly occured to me after living in limbo for......well, most of my life, that I am ready to srat working on transitioning (and alot of other things in my life.) I'm thinking about alot of things: who I'm gonna tell, what I'm gonna do about work, what will I have to change in my daily life, not to mention what I will have the chance to change in my daily life. Since I am systematic about most things, I plan on discussing this with as many people as I can (obviously including my therapist.) Any thoughts, annectdotes, or advice would be most appreciated.
