Male to Female (MtF) Transsexual Discussion

Like the topis says im TS mtf and im in a 12 step program. the thing is i live in a very conservative town and know of no other transgendered people who are in recovery. im struggling with how spirituality relates to my struggle with my soul not matching my body. Id appreciate any feedback on being transgendered and having spirituality weather youre in a 12 step program or not. thanks =) <3 Allie Jay

This is a very dead forum don't you think. I'm just bursting to talk. But there's absolutely nothing here. How many posts in one day? Come on now, we're all girls together. Let's talk. OK, we can talk about shoes or men, or whatever. I promise, I won't try to steal your man (fat chance anyway). HL

Hello. I went into the F2M forum by mistake, silly me, but I did notice they have a pinned F2M introductions topic. Just curious why we don't have the same. Take care, HL.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, life’s been very busy. I’m just about two months post-op and feeling great. The post-op treatment schedule is a demanding one and only just now slowing down giving me more personal time. It’s incredible to think back of all I’ve been through in the last year to more recently the past few months. I’m finally me! I feel comfortable in my own skin … I have arrived, lol. Sincerely though, surgery may not be for everyone, it certainly was for me. As I said recovery has been hectic but got progressively easier and less pain and swelling as time has passed. I still have some swelling and a lil’ discomfort when sitting up for any lengthy…

Hello everyone, Well I have to make a confession, I use wigs. My hair seems to rebel against any desire of growing it long. So I need to use wigs. However, I can not find a wig that stay on my head. Can you tell me how to buy a wig and where? Andrea

Okay so I often regret in my life not coming out sooner as I began to bald at the end of my college years and continued on till about a 1 1/2 ago. I took measures just before going on HRT and started to take a three part hair treatment that I bought over the counter. In a year of taking it while it did slow the hair loss and some hair grew it didn't do much. Taking the advice of my doctor I switched to a Generic version of Rogaine and instantly in a month I have a much fuller amount covering my bald area, while still there are patches its much more covered now. I have read studies in the past where a M2F transsexual on Hormones with treatment along with Rogaine experi…

i have been put on provera for my breast but i have a bottle of prometrium. can i use them first or the provera or generic medroxyprogesterone are they both safe i am not on my estrogen now

Hi all I have a week away next week and think it's an idea time 2 shine, however I don't no were 2 start yes I no 2 rid myself of hair then moisturise but then wat ? Xx

My Endocrinologist put me on Prometrium (Progesterone) as a supplement to the reduced Estradiol dosage that I currently take. As a result, I have been having the strangest, most far-out wacky dreams of my life. Usually, I do not remember my dreams, but those I have had recently are so clear and vivid to me. My question to you, Dear Readers: Do you have or have you had similar experiences? If so, do you feel as though the dreams you experienced had always been there, except that the Prometrium brings them more "out front", memorable? Thanks!

I was thinking about buying her cross dressing guide. Any of you guys have it and what did you think of it, did it help you?

Yesterday started off terribly. I cut the back of my hair to keep it looking like a bob and my wife got furious. She said all the same hurtful things she normally does and we fought about getting divorced. Then, the conversation actually got beneficial. She told me how she was actually feeling. She told me about how scared she is of losing me. She told me that she hates me as a woman because she sees me as killing her husband whom she loves so dearly. Finally, we came to a compromise. As long as I hold off on hormones and GRS (so that she can still have sex with her husband), she's going to respect who I am. We've planned a date for shopping and dinner this…

i'm pretty scarred and weathered from packing 60 years into 40. would hrt even be an option or did i wait too long?

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? …

Hi Everyone, I am a MtF currently living on the east coast. My lease is up here in 6 months, so late September of this year. I'm early in my transition but expect HRT progress will make this area unsupportive on many fronts soon thereafter. For that reason, I'm considering relocating to PDX. I lived in Eugene for several years so I spent some time in Portland. It seems like a very Trans-friendly city relatively from what I've read. I'd really, really appreciate anyone's advice or opinions on this plan including: - How trans-friendly is Portland? - What neighborhoods in the city or in the outskirts are most accepting and safe? - Therapist recommendations? - …

My wife finally admitted to lying about me committing sexual abuse to her, I feel so relieved, god I just want to cry. She confessed to my father and to her solicitor after he said to her, if this is a lie then you will get found out eventually, so it looks like her nerve went, I mean a person who lies about stuff like that to me should carry the same sentence for committal of the act, but anyway. Just glad that the truth has come out. I have an appointment with my Solicitor on Monday so we see where we go from there. Hugs Melanie x

I've been watchng a TV show lately about how humans evolved etc etc. This got me thinking to where Transpeople come in to evolution. I mean we must be here for a reason, if we served no purpose evolution/Natural selection would have discarded us a long time ago, but it seems transpeople have always been here for tens of thousnds of years, even in the most ancient of tribes we see trans people. Anyway thanks guys/girls for your replies, just a real mind boggler Melanie xx

Hi all, I've been searching around to see if I can find anyone that does laser hair removal as the woman see at the salon I go to for waxing said that laser would be better for me than any other means of removing hair from the beard area. I've not been able to find anyone in theSouth West UK Somerset area (I'm based in Yeovil) by searching online. Does anyone have any recommendations for anyone? I'm happy to travel a reasonable distance, say up to and hour and half or 40 to 50 miles. Thanks Jenny

So Girls/Guys, What is your strategy for when people laugh at you in the street, how do you cope; what do you do to not let comments or laughter get to you on an emotional level? I don't have THAT much trouble, but now and again the pointing or the laughter or sly giggle gets to me, I know it shouldn't, I just wondered how everyone else copes with this situation? Melanie xx

I just needed some advice. I have a friend ( male ) I've known him for about 13 years. He's with a girl at the moment, he confessed to me he was bisexual, but he isn't out. We got talking the other night when he was over at my house and confessed to me he dreamed about me the other night in which he was having sex with his girlfriend, he then looked away and turned back and he was having sex with me, he said I was hot and that I had huge breasts and a huge penis and this got him extremely turned on. He then went on to ask if I dreamed about him. I replied no. Over the last few days our conversations have turned sexual in nature and I said I did think he was nice looki…

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.

This says it all...

Hi Guys, Well, I'm really depressed at the moment. I was in family court today, what a disaster. My wife is moving to Cardiff ( 360 miles away ) I'm only allowed to see my children once a month ( for two days )when she moves down there, It's going to be almost impossible for me to travel down once a month as the fuel costs will be outrageous. It's a six hour drive a 12 hour round trip,I've been handed to the lions basically. She stated in a report which we both had to make that I sexually abused her, physically hit her when she was pregnant with my son, held a knife to her throat and tried to strangle her when she was pregnant, these of course are all lies. How can …

Please repost this video everywhere you can !!!!! I am trying to have my children find it and have them know their Daddy still loves them and always will !!!!!! If you have lost your children due to your transition, please, I need your help !!!! I am losing my mind !!!!! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=2qurZ3ZJlqk

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 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…
