Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Forced into a vulvoplasty due to exposure to agent orange in 1985. Member of Blackwater mercenary group for 45 years. Diagnosed with dermatomyositis (muscles detaching from tendons) by mayo 18 years ago. Past February, at deaths door...pain unbearable. Testicles to the point I could not move. My doctor / surgeon recommended removal. He discovered that my testicles although appearing normal size, aspiration showed they were the size of a peanut. Still producing some kind of messed up testosterone. The pain I had suffered for the past 17 years was finally gone. I had 9 penis implants. All had issues. Finally decided to remove implant and give up on sex. 67 years…

I have seen a few posts that were describing some of the pain that was felt, and the feeling of hating the body you saw in the mirror, but started to feel better when HRT started. Did you feel better because you were moving that much further along in the transition, or is it because the actual hormones are affecting how you see yourself? Coming form a born female here, I have rarely, if ever felt like the hormones were "kind" to me. What do the hormones do? I know that for me they regulate the reproductive system and such (to no avail for me), but when reproducing isnt the issue, do they have an effect on how you actually 'feel'?

I'm having trouble with this one . Yeah, I know Gays aren't popular there , but this woman did it for obvious religious reasons ! http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2013/03/woman-faces-prison-time-after-beating-son-for-engaging-in-gay-sex-act/ Oh, I meant to say DUE SOUTH TARRANT County. This lil suburb city is jus NORTH of the 820 South loop ................

It has been 5 weeks now and the euphoria has worn off and it is just life now. I have been very fortunate in that I have not met with any bad reactions as of yet , I have been treated well by all and have even been hit on a few times ! I am just enjoying my life now and to my surprise I have found a confidence I never knew I had . My wife is still having a hard time with this at times but she is happy for me and remains supportive , I dare say we have even grown closer and I did not think that was possible as close as we are . It is wonderful to finally be living the life I was always meant to live .

Most M2Fs have an ability most GGs don't: The ability to pass as a male. Are there any full-time M2Fs here who use this ability to their advantage? For example, if you need to walk alone at night, you do have the option of impersonating a guy so that you're less likely to be bothered. I'm not full-time myself, but I do go out as a girl a lot. I've recently taking to walking an hour per day, several days a week to try to slim down my belly/waist. My boyfriend told me I should do my walking as a guy so that I won't be hit on by random guys. Note: I'm not as gender dysphoric as a canonical M2F, i.e. I don't loath my male self, but I do prefer being female.

first off im back to all the people that remember me on here seconed off like my topic says im getting close to living fulltime as the true me.. i just got haired at a job today that allows me the financial ability to move out.. also with money i have saved i am now waiting to get approved for an appartment. now this isnt my dream job by anymeans but its a start and at least i can get out and start my life over.. well for the most part. ill be working as a man for at least a few more months but im getting close to becoming comfortable with myself and im rdy to leave the man behind luv ya all jesslyn:)

So I was thinking today (and this is probably the wrong area to post this question to everyone but whatever) and I was thinking back on my life and I thought to myself: Who was the first person I saw that I found out was trans or a crossdresser that kinda changed my life or made me realize that I could transition? Maybe its kinda an odd question but it really got me thinking. The answer I came up with (and im sure no one will remember the reference im about to make) but I remember when I was just starting in college and a show on MTV came on called "I want a famous face" and it was all about younger adults who wrote into the show saying why they deserve cosmetic su…

Fall classes will be starting soon and I am going back to school for the first time in more years than I care to remember. I was just wondering how many have retrained or switched to a more gender matching job and how well it has worked for you?

I feel a little silly posing this question, but I have been occasionally wondering about it for many years. Tthere are sleeveless dresses, short sleeve sweaters, especially babydolls and chemises that reveal so much of one's body offered for sale among women's fashions during the fall and winter, compared to flannel shirts, long sleeved sweaters and cotton pajamas, among men's fashions. Looking at the Victoria's Secret website, they are currently offering much more skimpy lingerie to sleep in than comfy pajamas. Therefore I wonder if females may be, on average, a little less sensitive to cooler temperatures than males. I often feel cold during the late fall and wint…

I'm taking this from a different forum, but it's an interesting conversation piece. If there were a pill that got rid of all your transgender urges and made you comfortable in your own sex, would you take it rather than transitioning? Personally, I think that I very well might still transition. Despite the numerous inconveniences, transsexualism can turn out to be a lucky malfunction. So many people have no idea how to make themselves happy in life or be able to achieve it. So transitioning is a blessing in disguise because what will make me happy is taken for granted by so many. Who would want a pill that took this away?

I am on cloud 9, I had an e-mail yesterday from someone in the local gender service, that I will have my second opinion and assessment for surgery at the same time sometime soon in the New Year. They are contacting my PCT to request the funding be released, once it is, I will be referred to Mr Terry, and if that goes well, they anticipate surgery by mid 2009. Its been the best news of my life. xx Stephanie

Hello people, I'm Danielle or Miss D, whichever people prefer. I'm 7-8 months into my transition and things are going rather well although I've had quite a difficult time acquiring anti androgens in injection form. I'm curious of anyone here is privy to safe methods of which to acquire them as I was on them for the first 3 months but haven't been able to continue on them due to continually having to switch GPs as a result of changing areas and addresses. Any advice would be wonderful and most appreciated x

I discovered about six years ago I did not have any sperm. Last year I began trying to ascertain the possible causes of this condition. One of the possibilities seemed to be Kleinfelter's syndrome, as I seemed to exhibit in much of my life some, but certainly not most, of symptoms associatd with this condition. A lab test last summer confirmed I did not have Kleinfelter's. However, it was discovered my Y chromosome had two copies of the short arm and some loss from the long arm, which resulted in me being infertile from birth. Neither the physican who prescribed the lab test, a gender therapist I went to last summer nor a genetics specialist who later contact…

I know I will never be a GG, I will be as close to one as I can get. But pregnancy is out of the question. I have always had a fantasy of having a very pretty wedding. I would walk down the isle in my Gown and be a queen to my new husband. I then would would have children with my new husband. Getting pregnant and all. I have so much envy for GG that have that. My soon to be ex wife asked me a question one time. She said being a woman is hard work. Would you take getting your peroid and all that comes with it. My answer was yes. I would have taken having my peroid. Wish they can transplant: Ovaries, Womb, ect... Maybe someday they will????? What does everyon…

Hey Everyone, Been a while since I posted on this board. I'm going in for FFS. I'm really looking forward to the new me. However, anytime I have surgery I get a little scared. I'm just praying that I get the results that my plastic surgeon says I wil. I have been on Harmones for almost 7 months now! Things have really been going great. Just waiting for my divorce to go thru. Please wish me luck. I will show the results when I'm done. Hugs, Kellie Anne

I am happy and satisfied with the way my body is improving. Just recently the chubbiness in my belly is going away. My ribs are starting to show and the overall shape of my torso is thinning. This is making my breasts larger and my hips wider. I am very happy with what I want to get bigger (boobs and butt)is growing and my waist and muscles are getting smaller. I believe I have turned a major corner and by all looks of my body I will be very feminine and curvy.

there have been a few posts made in recent weeks about wives, and female partners and SOs. and it dawned on me that while women are more likely to be accepting of TG/TS individuals...heterosexual and homosexual women react differently in relationships. some heterosexual women make it quite clear they want nothing to do with their MTF partners. they want the "man" they married, or the "woman" can get the hell out. and then there seem to be quite a few very accepting wives, who've decided to stay and build a new and/or different relationship. they stay with their MTF spouses despite the fact that these women are not lesbians, knowing that is probably how the outside…

Everytime you search transgender, transexual period there are always sites that pop up with a shemale having sex. Now no disrespect to girls on here who are non ops and all! I just think they all give us a poor image. We are not just chicks with dicks. We are women. We are women on the inside on some are on the inside and out, heart body and soul women. Just some of this girls make me sick. Yes I'm planning on getting surgery down there and my BF knows not to touch me there now, cause it is a part that I hate. I do not play the dom role at all as I am very feminine and submissive. Thats just me on rambling. Sorry must be my harmones raging! KELLIE

Last month was my birthday or rather my rebirth day. Just over a year ago I received SAS in Montreal. While the surgery did not make me whom I am today, it did mark a major milestone in aligning my body, mind and spirit. SAS does not make one better, happier, more content or more together. The same challenges that existed before transition still exist. Maybe not to the same degree, but the need for acceptance, understanding and peace remains in one form or another. Physically my appearance is that of a woman, yet inside my life remains complex, some days are a self-inflicted mixture of small difficulties, and a smaller list of perceived successes as a woman. Diffic…

In the new millennium, we’ve come far. Civil Rights for almost everyone in the country, everyone that is, except Homosexuals and Transgendered. This time, this era, full of new ideas and technology, we must renew our rights for everyone. In the early days, being homosexual was taboo and even illegal. People have been killed or shunned by society in the earlier times for mere preference. In many states now, sodomy is still something that can get someone arrested. The law should get out of our personal affairs a little. Yes, we appreciate our government for their enforcement of laws (oppression), and keeping the peace at a reasonable level (assaulting minorities), and mai…

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?

I saw a advertisement for GO GIRL, a product that allows females to pee standing up. I purchased one because you never know. One than once I have been stuck in traffic for a long time and had to pee when still a male and would pee into a water bottle which is messy but better than letting go in my pants or simply suffering. So I am keeping this in my glovebox of my car. If I were to get stuck in a traffic jam I could slip into the backseat, get into position (have tried it with my pants up) and pee. Cars besides me might see something but heck if I care at that point when there is no end in sight to the traffic jam. I normally travel a major road, speed limit is …

I finally sat down with my wife today and talked about the whole transexual thing and we've decided to divorce. We've both agreed on joint custody and to file for divorce. I'm very sad, but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I think I had fallen out of love with her a long time ago, but I still love her, if that makes any sense. She just couldn't accept me taking hormones and becoming a female as she put it. I think she sees this as making her a lesbian, and with her extreme Christian background I can understand this. But I'm still a bit upset at the fact the her love was conditional. I thought the point of marriage was to love each other no …
