Ask a MtF TG a question

[TomBoner]

Hehe... Well I started to post a reply in which I apologized for being libidinous

Incorrigible and libidinous ... How's that a way to start the day?

If this keeps up I may have to dump PG and GLBT Chatter and take myself over to the GB.

Dictionary time *scratches head* I just got back from PT he believes it is not a tear but something more along the lines of bursitis. PPT 3 days a week.

Is that good? I think that's good. So.. you've got housemaid's shoulder

Something like that. No surgery just time exercises and PT. Only time will tell.

I was wondering if this might be worth thinking about

Thanks, my diet is better then it was but still to high in processed grains like pasta and white rice. I'd. Is a flaw with living with Italians. .

I'm pretty sure those are English misspellings of a few very good American words ... but I'm not going to bother to look it up. You brits need to learn how to spell, ya know?

If it is housemaid's shoulder, it will pass. For an awful long time my left shoulder hurt like hell when I lifted my arm higher than half shoulder high, and then it very slowly got better, until suddenly, one day it didn't hurt anymore at all when I felt I had to try if it still hurt when I lifted my arm above my head.

I am stubborn I must continue to workout.

*grins* Did I say I stopped using my arm? It just hurt.

A big thank you to Stickygirl

I know Sticky has thanked us for supporting her, but I also wanted to say thank you to her for letting us support her.

I don't know any transgender people personally, and had only met transgender people in very superficial settings.
Recently I had been reading about the media and the way they (mis)treat and sensationalize transgender people. I saw that awful Piers Morgan interview and that terrible story about the scientist who was driven to suicide after being outed.
And then I read Stickygirl's thread and was blown away by the intelligent interesting questions and answers and the discussion. I never asked a question or commented because I didn't really know anything and didn't want to jump in and be offensive in any way ... So I just listened and tried to learn.

I just listened Brynne Tannehill's talk where she talked about building bridges. It's incredibly brave of you Sticky to open yourself up and talk about your feelings and to let yourself be vulnerable.
I feel honoured to be allowed in like that - and you have helped me gain an understanding that I would never have gotten otherwise.
I know I am filtering things through my experiences as a cis-woman ... And I'm sometimes uncertain whether that is okay... And of course I can never truly understand exactly what you are going through .... But I feel I can relate in many ways, and I want to share whatever help I can - woman to woman.

So thank you

Is Housemaids shoulder a euphemism for MSI (Masturbatory stress illness.)?

Does MTF TG give you any pain or discomfort above the waist?? Sorry to be indelicate but have you had a boob job too? Is it part of the package??



(Damn why does somebody always come along with a heartfelt, articulate and thoughtful post just before my inane chatter??)

I second Erochic!

If it makes you feel better, my post before that one was very inane and pretty inappropriate

 

[stickygirl]

*gulp* Well, thanks Euro
It's great to participate with such open-minded and friendly folk

It is difficult for me and probably other transgender folk, to remain rational and objective in a gender-binary world: to say I feel like a left handed person in a right-handed world is an understatement, but answering questions here helps me too, so thank you - I'm glad it's a two-way exchange of ideas. Only vain people want to be 'special cases' and it's the last thing I want - I want to be 'normal' but the binary world pushes us into a special corner.

There's a contradiction that trans women want to be 'normal' or go 'stealth' because in doing so, we are condoning the very gender binary that seeks to alienate us. That's why I'll always describe myself as a trans woman. Even my surgery is criticised by some pre-op trans women, because they see it as an affront to their status. There's a sense that a trans woman will follow an accepted route through transitioning and then surgery. So if "you've not had surgery, then obviously you haven't progressed that far yet" and nothing could be further from the truth: there is no final goal, only one that suits the individual. You see, even trans women forget that 'what is between your legs does not define gender' - we are all so engrained with that belief. It is so difficult to unlearn that when it is so entrenched in our society.

Poppa - please don't be embarrassed to ask that question: it's a fair one. I'd much rather answer easy questions

Yes, when my breasts were growing, they were very tender but it was certainly the most exciting phase of my transition. Mine are completely homegrown and I have no intention of having a boob-job. There are times when I'm shopping it would be nice to wear certain clothes that suit a bigger bust, but I'm hardly the first woman that wanted instantly adjustable boob-size to match the dress! I'm around an A'+' size - it depends on the outfit and I know several cis-women with smaller ones than mine ... I love being around them!!

 

[TomBoner]

Hey there! Congrats girl!

...

I didn't see one misspelled word there.

If poppa asks you to post a pic of your boobies here, I'll slap him for you.

Aww Tom - you're so sweet.
Do you still move your lips when you read?

Small breast are A+ in my book anything more than a mouthful you risk getting a sprained tongue. Plus they do not sag with age.

All breasts are good ... but you knew that Mr W

 

[beardedmariner]

All breasts are good. So Sticky, how are you?

Why yes my breasts are mighty fine, but I do not agree that all breasts are good. The woman with those beer can crushing breast are scary.

So thank you

This is wonderful. My ex-husband's cousin is a trans woman and I've been so proud of her. When she was living as a man (never sure on the right terms) he was always scowling and unhappy. I was blown away when the first pics were on Facebook. I wrote her right away and raved about her smile and how beautiful she was and how she just radiated. (She was tickled pink to get my message) It was very hard for her... Very very conservative area/state and her dad is an ass. Thankfully the rest of the family (my ex in-laws and ex) have been wonderful. It's hard for my ex to make the transition to she... After 40 years but he tries.

 

[funluvinaj]

So here's my "teach me Sticky" question!!

Not that labels are necessary but I had a friend ask me and I just wasn't sure...

Her niece (nephew?) was born female but has dressed/lived as a male since very young. While there's never been any discussion in my friend's family that J is trans it would seem so. What my friend asked was is J gay? Born female by genitals but lives as a man and is attracted to girls or because he's male in thought/action is there another way to label that.

Did you follow that?

It's not like we have a choice in the matter... I have always wanted smaller breasts. I hate mine... Even though they are noticed often.
