calling all transgendered

[Gi_Venus]

Hello, all. I'm a transguy (that would be FTM, FYI, BTW. ;D) in my early 20s. I've been on T for 16 months, and had my double-incision mastectomy earlier this year, and it's healed fabulously.

I identify as bisexual, though I lean toward attraction to males.

It seems like we transfellows don't seem to get much recognition, eh? Though less exposure in some ways seems to be a blessing, since so much of society has vastly negative attitudes toward transpeople. On the other hand, less exposure means that our medical providers-- whether therapists, doctors, or insurance --don't see our needs as viable enough to which to cater.

Welcome((((Pas_de_Fierte)))) We are so glad you dropped by. My situation requires discretion. You are right, and the transgendered pay the price in the costly treatments coming out of pocket, the lack of understanding makes job placement a difficulty as well. We have had a number of transguys drop by this thread and your perspective is valued as it is so seldomly heard. I would love it if more of the transgender community became regulars here.

Smile....I am not familiar with the term. Does it mean you have an attraction to the transgendered? Or is it a reference to Gender Dysphoria?

Being transgendered is an experience even when doing it slowly.
the sense of not quite belonging anywear. Not so strange, it is like being an adolescent again but this time with clarity and purpose instead of the emotional storms and defiance of youth. Really for me it is being anxious, waiting for the bomb to drop on various people and waiting for their reactions. If I lived in a "friendly" environment it would not be so nerve wracking. Slowly I stretch my wings.....one day I hope to take full flight. I may be forced out of the nest as my body is changing and one day the slow approach will be that of "Here I am!"(batting eyelashes)curvaceous body making an undenialable statement of truth. No comments about my breasts yet...but I do keep them hidden as much as possible at this point.
Smile, I know I am looking different, I see people looking not quite able to put their finger on what is different about me.

well i'm coming out to friends and family slowly but surely. my next step is to restart my therapy and to start my hormones there are no longer any doubts in my mind that this is my path and i'm alot happier about it. the only thing left is to tell my father and then i don't care who in the rest of the world knows. I have no fear other then the possible reaction of my father though i don't feel he will react the worst its still a possibility!

Nod...that can be rough, the rejection by a parent. I wish you luck with that one Tiffany. My father passed away last year so I do not have to face that aspect of it.

Hi everyone

 

[Pas_de_Fierte]

When it comes to social transition, I've actually come pretty much all the way. I'm out to all family and friends, except for acquaintances I haven't seen in years, but I'm not particularly concerned about them. I pass as male 100%, no questions asked; passing isn't even a thought of mine anymore.

I hope it works out for you hun
and everyone else still struggling

I can't think of anything else to say that might help other than good luck, and if you need someone to talk to I'm here and I'll try to understand. Done my reseach but its still a very confusing topic; must be even more so to be in the middle of it.

 

[Tymeless]

its less confusing for ourselves once we accept it and more confusing on figuring out how to help family and friends deal with it and how they will accept it.

I guess so
I dont know how I would've taken it if my childhood friends had started to dress as the opposite sex.
man that is a confusing thought...

I do hope they take it well
