calling all transgendered

[Tymeless]

figured we should start our own thread

guess with our first post we should post what we are = mtf
age = 24
point in transition= resuming therapy in august hope to be on hormones soon after

sexual orientation = as a male i'm straight once female i'm leaning towards lesbian but may be bisexual if the right guy comes along.

as this thread evolves and i hope it does we can discuss our issues and just chat and shoot the shit with people going through similar experiences that only we can relate too.

Hugs and kisses,
Tiffany

I'm a big supporter of the Transgender community, one of my pals growing up was an MTF transsexual and we're still cool to this day.

Absolutely ! I think that a lot of people are discriminated against in this world. Men and women of all races experience one form of discrimination or another in their lifetime. Did you know that the police ignore the needs of gay men fleeing abuse from their partners ? Or that they told a battered lesbian to "fight it off" with her psycho ex-gf ? Or that social services turned away a single father raising three kids by himself ? As human beings, whether we're male or female, straight, lesbian, transgendered, transsexual, gay or bi, black or white, we need to look out for one another. Like my father is fond of saying, what affects one affects all.

I know an FTM growing up. She was the only woman I ever got along with, that should have tipped me off that deep down inside, she felt masculine ! lol !

 

[Tymeless]

yeah lots of FtM's out there and people will never know

 

[noonenew]

I wouldn't say that I'm tg, but, I do believe that I have (at least psychologically) that I do have traits from both genders. I should've known growing up, my mom wanted a little girl, heh. I like my life as a man, but I know I'd like my life as a woman. I prefer to think of myself as (barring physiology) having no gender. Gender is mostly just a societal institution anyway. Confused? Maybe.. I don't like to think of myself as gay, or even bi, because I feel it's the female side of myself that desires to be penetrated and finds men attractive. My male side is still strong, and my "hetero" desires run deep as well. So, I don't know.

I'm not sure if I really qualify as TG or not. I'm a straight guy, but I love to cross-dress. I'm only interested in girls, thought, and not considering any sort of surgery.

Not so. What sets us apart from the rest of the GLB people is, even in a perfect world with no discrimination or bigotry, we would still be miserable because we're not happy with ourselves.

I'm at a rather annoying stage. I just want to start hormones so I can get the emotional effects I desperately need, but society wont have it. Red tape everywhere. All anyone can say is find a new psychiatrist, but I don't even need one. I don't want to wait another three months while they may or may not decide what I was already certain of before even starting. It's standing in the way of lasing my facial hair off too. It wont work without antiandrogens. I can't take it anymore.

On a side note, I finally got my ears pierced yesterday. I kinda regret my choice of earrings, but I can change them soon enough.

Hrmm. Like I said, I don't think I consider myself to be tg. I don't think we have the same issues with gender- good luck with everything you're going through though. Must be a difficult life, loads of respect to anyone who can make that kind of change.

 

[Tymeless]

i feel you temp but its the safest way to do it and saftey should come first.

 

[bi4ever]

I am bi-sexual, and on and off have considered that I might be gender-confused in some way. Back in the mid 1990's I tried cross-dressing, and even though it was a stressful event (I was probably butt-ugly, though some said I looked good) it was an erotic experience for me. There have been times that I *felt* feminine, but didn't come close to looking femine. Currently I look pretty strong, after having been working on our acerage this spring. The wife loves it, but deep down I feel sort of sad. Sad that a part of me has been taken away and replaced by muscle. I love being aggressive with my wife, and I'm an aggressive person in general, but would love if the right person (or my wife, if she every metamorphed somehow) to dominate me. I'm going bald, so that too makes me feel like my chance of ever becoming a woman is gone. Not saying that I have always wanted to become a woman, but I have entertained that I might be happier that way. We just had our first child, so at the moment I'm juggling thoughts of expressing my feminine side, and "acting like a daddy". I love my child, so it's definitely not him (or my wife).

 

[bi4ever]

Just wanted to say more. I chose my username of "bi4ever", because no matter how many children we wind up having, or how much my wife loves my muscular body, the fact is that I will always proudly wear my badge of "bisexuality". It's who I am. For those that might be wondering how in the world I know I am bi-sexual, it's because I am attracted to males. Can't really say what TYPE of male I'm attracted to, but "pretty boys" and macho-looking men with a soft side to them are especially appealing to me. I also am incredibly fascinated with transsexuals (have loads and loads of pics on them on my computer). I've experienced *some* sex with males (penetrated TVST's and sucked cock, but always chickened out of having my own asshole filled to the brim, which I would truely love). For the record, I am extremely confident that I will *never* feel attracted to my newborn son. That's just sick, I would never hurt my child in any way, and have tremendous respect toward the personal space of others.

with hormones the hair can grow back so don't tlet that stop you if thats the case.

Hi My name is Gi.

mtf

age 50

Sexual orientation - bi-sexual although I have not given men an honest try

Point in Transition - 4 months into hormonal therapy

I am attempting to be me having lived a lie most of my life.
I see myself as being mostly woman and may decide to go all the way to surgical change later. For me it is not sexual but my identity. My libido has all but disappeared due to the hormones and I do not miss it. Right now the changes are.... my skin is dryer, I did not realize how much oily skin is an male androgen trait, I feel cleaner and smell different and have to use lotions sometimes to keep my skin from drying out. My areolas are darker and I believe my nipples are larger, my breasts hurt all the time. And when I have high beams I have high beams! I am an emotional wreck. But then again that just might be me.
I am in the closet due to complications in my life. My plan is to be "odd" in public and only be out to those that are trustworthy. I have no false expectations about the human response to those that are not the "norm"
If I find a soulmate male or female on my journey then I shall be most happy.
Gi

okay my delemia some if someone can shine some light on this please do.

I'm by no means happy with my male body my maleness does bother me at times, but i've been weighing several issues and i've come to this conclusion for myself and i wanna see what you all have to say about it. I've tried to prioritize things in my life and this is the order of thier importance to me and as a result i had to make a decision on my transition.

1) getting back into school and working towards a degree.
2) paying off my bills and getting myself financially secure.
3) finding someone special and being upfront with them about my gender issues.
4) having my own children if its not possible then adopting.
5) possible transition to female.

I've decided at this time to postpone any push at a transition from male to female i decided that though my body is wrong for what i see myself as it is fairly appropriate for my goals at this time. I don't like that there for a few months the transition totally consumed me and I gave up on my present to secure an uncertain future. Though i feel i'm mostly female my personality does have several male traits that i'm not ashamed of or hate and i feel that i can express myself with my friends as a female and continue to live as a male without the stress that comes with transition. Now i'm not saying i won't eventually transition i still might but i'm gonna take my time and work through this one slowly on my own terms so i don't put myself through any complications i don't need to.

Hello Tymeless
I think taking your time is good, as long as you are true to yourself.
If you are thinking of children, you should wait as the hormones and antiandrogens can cause irreversible sterility. Self nuturing and stability should always take priority. Be yourself so that when love comes they will love you for whom you are. Your list is an excellent plan in my opinion.

[Tymeless]

thanks GI and hope everything works out for you.

 

[Gi_Venus]

thanks GI and hope everything works out for you.

Smiling, it will because that is my focus.
I forgot to mention about finding a good lab and freezing a specimen of your semen for future use. That way if you desire you can move on.

Intro

Gender: MTF - pre-op

Age:39

Location: Central CA

Just a short intro, saw this thread thought I'd jump in. I am waiting for my hormones ( Should be any day now).

I'm very anxious to start the Hormones. Mostly because all I can seem to think about is how much better it would have been if I'd been born female.

But enough about that.

Mostly just wanted to introduce myself.

Hello Marie If Tymeless does not mind me playing hostess Welcome!
I am into my fourth month on Hormone therapy and progress is slow as is to be expected. The further from puberty one is the more difficult it is for change, it takes longer. I am happy with the results so far. Just warning you not to expect dramatic results at first. I am older than you so you may progress faster when you do start hormone therapy. I think Tymeless had a good idea starting this thread. Smiling...now if we can get enough participants. PM me anytime.

Don't despair Tymeless, there are plenty of people in their forties that have successful transformation..... you have plenty of time. Take your time and be sure. For one thing using Hormones is dangerous, you want to be sure before you take that risk. One that comes to mind is the threat of deep vein thrombosis which can cause clotting and in worse case scenarios stroke, heart attack or death. The electrolytes get out of balance too if they are not monitored causing problems....and of course damage to the liver can happen which is why I avoid alcohol these days. To reduce the threat of deep vein thrombosis I take a blood thinner...in this case aspirin... The particular dosage of the anti-androgen that I use is not too much a threat for messing with my electrolytes. Definitely one needs to have a good doctor to help monitor these things.
Don't agonize hon, just be you......some of my favorite people are giving me the same advice right now.
