Female to male crossdressers?

[Etoile]

Does Jack identify as male? Pronouns in the trans community are tricky things; if your friend Jack has had hormones and surgery, I get the feeling that Jack is transsexual, not a crossdresser, considering you have to go to a counselor for months before they even consider writing a letter to your doctor or endocrinologist to prescribe you hormones, let alone surgeries of any kind.

If that's the case, and Jack is male-identified, the best pronouns to use would be male: he/him/his.

I have yet to meet a person who has gone through all the rigmarole of the Harry Benjamin Standards of Care just to still want to be referred to as their birth sex.

Superbly well said!

I wonder how many Female-To-Male-Transsexuals were tomboyish as youths. I've always been a tomboy, yet rarely have I wanted to be anything other than what I was.

I have a couple of friends that have gone through the surgery (granted, most FTM that I know don't want the genital surgery and I wouldn't either) that sometimes feel as though they are neither and both genders at the same time. One MTF friend that is currently going through transition feels this way now - of course who knows how s/he'll feel once it's complete...

Strangely, have pretty much always presented as femme but was also always a tomboy - at 7 the only girl in an all-boy club, at 13, the only girl who would still challenge boys to arm wrestling and win, at 14 the only girl to swing over the large irrigation ditch that ran along the length of our neighborhood when full (actually pretty stupid because it was so dangerous). One of my best friends is FTM - when a kid and young adult, was very Femme, once she came out as lesbian, presented as butch... Now as a man, he loves to wear make-up.

Geeze I love the complexities of gender

T.H.O.

A butch look doesn't interest me at all. But a strap-on, on a pretty lady like you dressed like a woman is closer to the look of a shemale.

Oh, this gets my panties wet......love a pretty Lady with a big Cock

Would someone please write : The Female Beginner's Guide To Talking Your Boyfriend Into Strap On Play ?

Oh Predator, where have you been all my life?

Seriously, I need the companion, "The Male Beginners Guid to Talking your Girlfriend Into Strap On Play." My wife knows and and accepts (hell, even encourages) my submissive and crossdressing tendencies, but she's quote, "Squeemish about my butt." I simply can't convince her that I WANT stuff in there. Oh well.
