Member Introductions

Hey and Hello everyone! Wow, a transgender forum place that seems legit and active. I'm excited! Too much crap on the internet. Here's my intro then: My name's Mikey. At least that's what most people call me. I go by Mike as guy, Michelle as female. I'm androgynous I guess. Was going to transition MTF a few years ago but stopped due to... never mind. I live in South Florida, like to travel everywhere but SoFlo is my home. I'm an intellectual, so to speak, i.e. interested in things of the mind more so than things of the body, and I'm utterly "serious", that is non-smiling, but I'm also goofy as hell. Makes sense? Not really. But that's how it is. Hoping to meet fellow "sis…

Hello folks I am a 46 year old man who likes to crossdress. For me both genders comprise my identity and don't feel dysphoric. I've had B-cup beasts since 12 years old and have tried in vain to hide their existence until recently. I am old enough now to partly to not care as much what others might think and am embracing not only their existence but the rest of my feminine side as well. I have a few sets of bra/panty sets that I purchased and am looking to expand my feminine wardrobe. I am bisexual and am attracted to a compatible personality than what genitals a person has.

Hello there! I don't know what to say, but I'll try anyway.. I'm a transgender, twenty years of ages.. It's new for me, very new and I am still at stage 0.. I've only recently got an agreement with a theripist. I don't dress (Too much) But I very much like to do so. I find makeup hard, and finding out clothing size.. Thats two of those things I hope some friendly spirit coule tell me. Else I'm her for a chatter, and making great friends, wich I can share my throughts with. As It's easier for me to talk about it over chat, then actully pouring it out from my mouth. Anyway, some facts about me, I'm twenty years of age (As I said above) Currently under education as…

New member looking for other Mtf pre-ops along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Looking for advice for friendly doctors, hangouts, clothing stores, beauty salons, nail shops etc. . Would like to join any local groups for talk, companionship etc

Standard stuff probably. Confused because I feel feminine and alone 'cause no one I'm around really understands it. But I've never felt completely like I was supposed to be woman so I guess it's gender dysphoria. I've always liked my own "feminine" features; wanted to be pretty, to be adored, and disliked my penis like it didn't belong. Don't know. COGIATI places me as probable "late onset" transexual but I've never put too much faith in those kind of tests. I find it increasingly difficult to make love as it seems wrong or I can't understand what I'm supposed to be doing. It only feels right when I'm being made love to. Bought womens clothes including wig …

Hi! My name is Dustin and I am new to TGGuide. I am also new on my transition journey. Because of where I live, it can take up to a year to see a specialist. I have been in contact with the gender specialist though and they say I am doing everything I can to prepare for the eventual appointment. I kind of laughted at one question they asked me. "Am I living as a male right now?" I said yes I am. I have een most of my life. Since I grew up as a tom boy and was never comfortable as a female, I began dressing and acting as a male at a very young age. Because it is what felt right to me. Anyway, just thought I would inrtoduce myself. Cheers everyone!

Hi all I am Jenny, 40's closeted transvestite who has been crossdressing since old enough to remember. I don't think I will ever feel confident enough to pass as a woman in public however despite going through several phases of denial and several purges I am trying to accept who I am. The internet has shown me that there are many out there just like myself which is a relief in so many ways. Social stigma dictates that I will likely always be in the closet but great to find a release for my other self on sites like these. Just be yourself and just be happy. Xx.on

Hello. I'm Skyla. I'm new to this. I just realized that I'm not who I am. It took me years to really figure out why I was feeling different and down. When I talked to a friend of mine. He told me be who you really feel. So I told him who I really feel and her name is Skyla Marie Lynn. That is me. I know that it's a long process. But I'm will to take it. There are only a few people that know. But right now all I need is support and friendship. Love Skyla

Hi Everyone I live in Western Australia and am slowly making the transition to the girl that I really am. I hope to make new friends along the way and this is my starting post. Cristina

Hello everyone..I am kinda nervous. I am 38 and from Michigan USA. I have never been accepted for who I am. My hole life I have been pushed one way or another by my family. I was never allowed to just be me. I work in an industry that is very very non accepting of different people. I know for a fact I would never be accepted as trans. We have a customer that comes in and is trans everyone is nice to her face and talks about her behind her back. Its horrible. When I was young my mom pushed me towards playing with my older sister and her toys. Always told me I was supposed to be a girl. That she didn't want another son. But when I tried to express myself as a girl. She comp…

Hello everyone. Allow me to introduce a side my friends and family refuse to acknowledge. I am gender fluid, I have all the "male" parts, but I mostly identify as female. This is where it has always been hard for me, and most people shun me.... I identify as a female bi-sexual with male parts.... Since I was 14, I accepted my feminine side, even embraced it, then when coming out to LGBT for who I am, I was ostracized for wanting it all... That's not the case, I would trade my parts for the female equal. But I am all over, I want that, I want to express me female side, while giving what I have with "male" parts. Am I being selfish? I want so badly to be just accep…

I have been living in nwkansas 11years now, and have had to hide my true self from EVERYONE. there just isn't any where to get help. i would lovr to be able to let ALICE free now and then, BUT things aren't working out that way. hoping i can settle for online gal pals!

Hi Lori and everyone, First I would like to say THANK you to Lori for your message on twitter and the information on how to get to the tgguide, I am a single, 56 y/o M2F,Pre-op ,I have been on hormones for over 5 years now, I live in a very rural area of Eastern Kentucky, I have no support group here in my area, to attend any support group I have to travel 3 hours to Lexington,Kentucky but my endocrinologist and therapist are also in Lexington ,Ky so it isn't such a bad drive, to begin hormones you had to have a therapist and the facility here in my area told me they would not see "my kind "so that is why I had to go so far for a therapist and endocrinologis…

Hi all. My name is Tanya. I am a m2f transsexual living in Albuquerque, NM. I have been living full time at home for several years, but because I work at a religious organization, have not come out. I am seeing a local counselor/therapist, and she is helping a lot. I have felt wrong since some of my earliest memories, but I had no frame of reference to understand who I was for years. I am looking for friendship and would love to talk to anyone, but especially from this area. I think one of my biggest problems has been getting over stereotypes of how a man or a woman should be acting or what interests they should have. I am definitely a softie, and cried easily lon…

Newbie here. Nothing warms my heart more than finding a fantastic community such as this. I've come to realize that acceptance is always the key. Accepting one's gender and embracing life as​ a ​whole determines our strength, readies us for what lies ahead, and encourages us to improve from our past mistakes. Hugs and kisses to the whole community and cheers to everyone!​

Hi all! My name is sheela, which is a sanskit word meaning "harmony, and approaching life in the right way. I began my transition in May 2011, and have been living FT since January 2012, when I had FFS. The surgery was done my Dr Z in Chicago, and I'm very happy with the result. I know I have alway been female since a little child, but for ages had no idea what to do about this. The concept of being born in the wrong body didnt occur to me for a long time. I used to think that I may have been dropped off on the wrong planet. I'vr learned now that the way I look influences gratly how the world i live in will treat me. Now that I look live a woman, sound like woman…

Hi, I am unique California athletic outdoor girl looking for similar to explore the world. I am a blonde, athletic, a little taller than average, giftedly gendered lady looking to meet new friends. As a fitness trainer and bodybuilder competitor I was catapulted into the national spot light as the first transgender to compete in a body building competition in San Diego, California at the Scottish Rite Center in October of 2011. The attention and news coverage landed opportunities to speak out and about the difficulties, misconception and misperceptions that transgender individuals face on a daily and now national level. My main focus is personal fitness and publicly…

Hi everyone. I am 48 and live in east tennessee. I have been wearing womens clothes for a long time and enjoy it very much. I have never tried to pass as a woman and never will. I love the silky feeling on my skin and admiring myself in the mirror. I am bisexual and would love to chat with anyone who shares any of my interests.

Hello to all of you. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Kelly and I have am a transgendered person undergoing transition from male body to female body. It has been a long and often horrible journey, living in a very conservative part of the country where transgendered persons are misunderstood. I found this area looking for support areas as the ones in the Black Hills are limited at best and do not have much ability to connect and impact transgendered people here. It leaves internet/online connections for this to happen. I am hoping that I might be able to find some forms of support through here. Hugs

Hello, My name is Lilly Blue (not my real name) and I am a 33 year old transgender woman living in fabulous Las Vegas. While I knew at a young age I was "different," I had no idea how. I lived the majority of my life trying to blend in but I found myself suffering from chronic depression and became intent on finding out why I couldn't be happy. After ready a blog by a trans woman in Australia, I started to understand my depression. After some experimentation with cross dressing and the like, I began seeing a therapist who helped me understand myself further. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with gender identity disorder and recommended to start hormone repla…

I am new here, and I am a transgender boy, or a boy who is a girl on the inside. I have not told anyone about this, so I have come here to maybe learn how to, being challenged by society. (Miku is the girl name I want)

Hi all, I'm very happy to be here. I am 62 years old and MTF. I came out at 60 and started transition 20 months ago. I live on Long Island, in New York. I am a musician, love to play classic rock and the blues on one of my several guitars, mostly vintage Gibsons. I write songs too. I have two wonderful grandkids aged 3 and 8, and they love me no matter my gender. Kids just know love, as it should be. OK, I admit it, I'm a bit of a shopaholic. Love new clothes, shoes and bags, oh and guitars of course. I have some support from loved ones and friends but have lost so many people due to bias and ignorance including a twin brother and son, but I have also gained so…
