Member Introductions

I'm currently in Des Moines, Iowa. I am 40 and finally stopped fighting my self over wanting to be female. Told my family and they are supportive which was one of my biggest fears. I'm looking forward to trying life as a female though I still feel nervous and scared about how people will treat me. I've been dressing up in secret since childhood. I feel much more comfortable and at ease as a woman than I do as a male. When I dress up and see the woman in the mirror I feel this is the person I should be. I'm hoping to find friends in the area who can help me become more comfortable being the real me in public and maybe do some shopping.

Hello all. New here and to Florida as well

hello everyone my name is Renee Marie I live in Houston Texas I'm a transexual female

hello all i'm kind of new here i hope we can be friends

Hello everyone new here. I mainly here to learn from everyone's experiences and knowledge so that I can hopefully use it to help me discover who and what I am. I've always felt that something has been off and I've always felt that I have never really truly been myself. Always playing a role that I feel is expected of me to an extent not that I haven't learned to love and enjoy some aspects of that role of being masculine but doesn't always feel right or like I am being true to myself. So yes again I'm here to hopefully gain a lot of knowledge so that I can ultimately determine who I am what I am and all those super deep thought-provoking questions on gender identity…

Hello, Good morning! I would like to introduce myself with all of you guys. I hope everyone here is doing well so far. Thank you so much for your time in advance.

I'm a 17 year old transgendered girl who didn't even know any of this was possible until a few years ago. And even then, I didn't have the courage to come out until just last year when I told my mom at one in the morning. Obviously the process felt so slow, but I'm finally starting hormones whenever I stop being sick and can get bloodwork done for it. For someone whose family can barely afford heat in the house, I didn't expect anything to work out. But it turns out, I have a good therapist, the best doctor on the east coast, and the soon-to-come hormones that are all covered by insurance, and not to mention a supporting family, even though friends are lacking in support.…

Hello everyone, Just wanted to say hello to everyone, and happy that I found a forum that is actually functioning. I have been to a few that just had "bad" information or there was little or no activity whatsoever. I will be posting a blog soon that will share my story, so hope to hear from people soon. TTYL, Melanie

hi all found this site hope it helps i am starting my rollercoster ride of my transition to mtf. anything would help just started HRT and i am so happy to get it going it's all i can think about

My name is matt my given name anyway. I consider myself transgender (undiagnosed). I used to get super embraced to even say it in public. I've already come out to my parents though some may think that is a mistake considering I have not talked to a professional. I'm considering finally going to see a therapist about it. I'm here to find people to talk to get different perspectives on being trans. . Hello beautiful people I'm really glad to meet you!

Hello, My name's Lily. I've (22) recently come out as trans to a couple of friends (MtF), but I'm looking for some online friends (finding people in person is proving difficult). I'm based in the UK and I'm currently living with my parents (I love them, but I haven't told them yet). Also, because I'm at the start of my transition, I sadly look male. Just wanted to introduce myself, so I guess here I am.

Hello everybody, I am new to the forum! I am a pre-op mtf but I am having such a hard time coming to terms with my trans identity. just thought I'd introduce myself. holla!

My last introduction was very vague and non informative. Sorry Im not used to talking about this. I am currently 37 years old and love to dress in womens clothes. It started when I was around 14 and I started having dreams about wearing bras and panties. I eventually started wearing my step sister's clothes and became addicted. I was single in my early 20s and lived alone so I was able to order clothes online and have them shipped to me, which enabled me to isolate myself and spend my days off dressed for the entire weekend. I would spend my days watching girly movies and dancing to girly music, and experiment with porn and toys. It feminized me completely…

hello every one im tiffani..... i was born male 51 years ago but still hiding in the closet..... feel like that puppy that wants that treat that some stranger is offering but yet not really sure about things..... ive mentioned wanting to come out to a very few close friends and are very supportive which is very nice..... i do wear nail polish and eye makeup out in public and wear panties but to go full blown woman is still scary to me even though i feel very comfortable wearing such things......thanks one and all for reading and i hope to meet others on this board and to get encouragement as well as be encouraging

Hello!☆ My name is Matthias. I am a trans man. I was recently kicked out of my home in florida and have been living with a friend for about a month now, but this is a temporary solution. My soon to be wife (trans woman) was displaced here by an abusive family member. She is temporarily living with another family member here who repetatively threatens her stability, picks fights regularly, and is generally unstable. The family member's partner is a gun happy idiot. Florida has been cruel to us both to the extent of actively putting us individually in physical danger multiple times. We have contacted several trans help resources and have a general starting point on how to g…

Hi there, my name is Sherri and I am a t-girl from Sacramento. Found out about this site through twitter and I am glad I did. Looks like a great group of people hang out here. I look forward to talking with all of you.

My name is Lori. I live in the US south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am looking to make some new friends.

Very late in transitioning. Spent a lifetime denying myself. Finally took the plunge after I was on life support and not expected to live. Figured what the heck, go for it.

I'm 37, from Georgia MtF. I currently live in Taylorsville KY. I decide to start my transition in 2009; I was ready to dive in head first. My goal was to finish my transition by the end of 2010. It took me a few months but I finally found a therapist in Feb 2010. (not many to choose from in north GA) I also started attending the monthly group meets. After attending a few of them and see the problem everyone was having after they came out at work and home. I decided to slow my transition down a bit. I started HRT in May 2010. I still continued to dress at home and would go to ATL to go out in public dressed. I had worked in landscaping for most of my career and was very g…

I need help understanding terms I am learning as well as I need a place to discuss the feelings I am having. Let me start by saying I am learning proper terms, what is appropriate and what's frowned upon. So if I say something wrong, please don't jump on me, just correct me. I've read so much that I don't know what's correct. Where should I start??? What is the difference between transgender vs transsexual? Is "tranny" a 'bad word'? A little bit about me... I was first introduced to anal play in college by my then girlfriend who only did some touching and licking. I learned then that I like anal play. At some point that graduated to finger insertion and finally strap …

Hi everyone I am Nisha from India and I 'am a Male-to-Female Crossdresser. Well I am kinda confused about myself but I think i will get an answer someday. And I am glad to meet all of you and hope to make some great friends.. Love Nish <3

I'm glad to have known the folks here that I have interacted with. Time for me to move on. The "?" of what kind of "creature" that Veronica would have been is revealed. She would be as "dark" and "malevolent" as her progenitor. A jaguar cannot change it's spots. I understand the "components" of my nature now, mission accomplished. Four months ago I had an accident. Passed out (Don't know why) and clobbered my gourd on a counter on the way to the floor and then smashed my head on the floor when I got there. Astonishing that one good head trauma can be so life changing. My personality has become very dark and frequently malevolent. If that is at all possible for a person li…

So, first post - always hard to know what to say. I identify as MtF transgender; and I'm starting to find my way in the world. I'm out to some close friends socially and at work, although not fully yet. I hope that will change as my confidence grows. Anyway I will lurk a bit, say hi if you like.

Hi My name is Matt and I'm from London. This is my first time joining any forum but it was recommended by a friend and I can see why - very friendly. I guess my first experience was when I was about 13 or 14. I had read a story in one of the Sunday newspapers about a boy my age that had discovered himself after wearing womens lingerie and it really sounded right. I did try it myself for a couple of years but I guess I was more attracted to the idea of the guy in the story rather than it being me. Over the years Ive had the opportunity to meet and date but have never really pursued anyone, I always thought I was straight yet I found women lacking in some way - …
