calling all transgendered

I lived through it. More or less. My PM box is open, if you should need it.

Smile......thank you.

Smile....ungenderless I love your av. It has a nice softness to it.

Thank you. I found her on the internet, lol. Well, she just fit how I imagined my inner female self to be so well, and I wanted to focus on identifying on this self. So, she's my avatar pretty much everywhere now.

And hey, I'm always open to talk with anyone. I know how difficult it can be being a TG in today's world (although I'm not going to pretend that I have it bad), and I think it's important that we give each other strength.

BTW, does anyone here have a MySpace account?

Smile...a lovely friend of mine found mine, it is me in that I play my guitar so much these days.... I imagine when I am finally outted to everyone I will be talking to a lot of people.....sigh! I do not anticipate a trouble free transcendence....laughing... so be wary of offering.

Well I just met an interesting individual on MySpace. At first she wanted to be my friend, but then chaged her mind cos she didn't agree with my perspective on being a TG. She quoted this sentence in my blog:

"Some simply despise themselves for being in the wrong body, and will seek SRS (sex re-assignment surgery) in order to rectify the dilemma."

And said that she disagrees strongly and that she's "found peace and happiness with herself."

So I said that this sentence was not my "opninion". I was in fact describing someone whom I love very much. A pre-everything FTM who fantasizes about surgically removing her breasts by herself because she hates her body so much. Who can't look in the mirror cos she's too ashamed at what she sees.

So I told this idividual that I was hapy that she had found peace, but not everyone is as fortunate as her.

The thing was that I was very specific in my blog to state that, beacuse the gender of a person's brain is a spectrum, every TG is different. But I guess that didn't matter, because the fact that I described someone different than HER was wrong in her eyes.

I've finally started hormones. 50mg spironolactone, to be increased and supplemented with estrogen next month. This from a doctor who, in two visits, did more than the others in four months.

So far I don't feel anything though (three days). For those on hormones, how long did it take to feel any effects?

Good luck to you all in your endeavor.

The limit of my knowledge about trans-anything used to be "shemales" in porn. I would say I was anti-trans through ignorance (never hostile, i just didn't accept it was okay for others to be non-straight. I'd never have condoned hurting someone who was non-straight, I was jsut raised to not associate with them). In the past ten years or so (and I'm only in my late 20s right now) I've tried to educate myself about as many different things as I possibly could. From things about gender to poetry to you name it. I come from a very traditional family and so anything that wasn't straight was, while not quite wrong (in a moral sense), "they're just confused." I eventually found sites like here, and more specifically tsgirlfriend, that helped to really teach me about the transgendered. I've talked about some related learning experiences in other topics too.

So with that said, i can honestly say, I hope you all the best. So if the moral support of a stranger is any good, well, there ya go

Get that person some mental help before she hurts herself.

Good luck to you, I asssited my best friend and ex lover through the process about 25 years ago. ITs got alot easier but its still a hard journey.
Take care and remmeber in the end or the sh*t will have been worth it.

We've tried. She was seeing a therapist for a few months. Unfortunately, that therapist was only trained for Gay & Lesbian issues, and not experienced in TG issues. So after the new year (when we get out of debt and can afford it), we're going to try our luck in San Francisco.

there is hope!

All FTM's and MTF's can make it with the love and support of those like us. I know it sounds sappy. Being here, and talking with some of you has given me hope and I'd like to return the favor.

I started to transition 10 years ago. It was derailed when I was arrested for using the women's restroom while crossdressed. I spent a year in jail and was sentanced to five years of aversion therapy. The experience has left me somewhat scarred and battered.

I don't dress anymore, haven't been back to therapy and find that denial is a powerful ally. At this point, I'm just another straight guy with a weird past. I smoke too much, drink too much and engage in heavily masculine persuits, but it's still there... that feeling, that knowledge that this is all wrong somehow. I do my best to keep it burried, hopefully it will just go away, unlikely, but I can still dream, no?

Be careful out there.
