Looking for a Tranny friend.

*tough to type* I'll force myself

I've always wished that I had been born a woman ever since I was a little kid. I would have gone the route of taking hormones and things of that nature, but God decided to give me a 6'2 muscular frame. Exactly what I don't want, but hey it comes in handy sometimes . So I decided to never pursue my quest to feel like and become a woman because frankly, I'd look like a monster.

Being a woman stuck in an attractive man's body isn't all bad and I've learned to deal with the fact that I'll never ever be able to be what I truly want to be. The best part is that I've embraced the things that make women so truly wonderful, the compassion, listening, picking up on visual cues. So In a way I'm blessed and cursed.

So, I'm lookin now to get to know a transsexual that actually took the plunge into womanhood and I could get to know and see what could have been had I, I dunno, been of a much smaller build.

well shit that wasnt so hard at all!

I'm sorry to hear you decided not to pursue what you feel is your birthright just because of body size. I have a MTF friend who is also tall and broad and she is an absolutely beautiful woman - and passes effortlessly. She spent thousands upon thousands of dollars for her transition, everything from electrolysis to facial reshaping. And she looks great.

Unfortunately we don't have very many transwomen on here. You might want to visit some of these sites as well.

I have QUITE A BIT of knowledge (and experience!) in this area. Even though I don't feel totally womanly, there are many days that I do feel much more womanly than manly in my body. My face is a pretty smooth and soft one for a male. People often find it difficult that I am almost 33 years old. Even though I am going bald, if I wear a hat I ALWAYS get carded when others that do look older than me don't get carded. Anyway, I have had two transsexual girlfriends in my lifetime. The first one was a person with an extremely high IQ, but won't live long in life because of 'her' lack of common sense. She SHOULD have gone the MTF route, no doubt about it. The second one, I think, tried to be a woman, and quite honestly HER personality was pathetic. A very nasty person. Sadly, I'd think that she would need to be a very rich person to pull off a MTF transition. In drag she had all the moves, which is what got me in bed with her, other than that I just think she is a person with a twisted mind. Now, to you. Your wording of how you feel, please don't be offended when I say this, comes off as being very much scripted. It is as if you're being coached to say things in the manner that you say them. Please don't get me wrong, but there IS a lot of what we can't hide when we write. I guess what I'm saying is that you're thinking of yourself (if it is indeed true) is well articulated, but it just doesn't seem to "fit" you. I would love to hear more about yourself, please do tell!

Huh...I didn't get that at all from the post.

Then again, I don't think it's a coincidence that I've been able to guess many peoples' ages from conversation alone.

i know why so many transgendered people want to kill themselves

Thank you for the links, Etoile. Not quite what i was looking for, being who and what i am, but any info is good.

[hijack] Do you have any good links for androgynes? A lot of what i find is stuff for people who have transitioned to androgyny, or people who are living in an androgynous state during a transition. What i seek is info on/to/about or for those of us who live an essentially genderless lifestyle who were born this way. Most people assume when i say androgyne, i mean "person who is transgendered and making a change to the other gender", not "person who is born with characteristics of both genders and not enough of either to be one or the other, even if per wanted to be one or the other, which per does not."

Sorry for the hijack, Johnny, but my question sort of seemed like a natural progression of yours and it's not really of sufficient importance to be it's own thread.

Johnny,

I'm 5'11", and a good 6'2" when I put on heels, which puts me right at your height... which is one of the reasons why I've always favored dating tall men.

If i were your height, i simply would wear flat shoes. Admittedly there are not a lot of genetic 6'2" women out there... but there are some. I work in a company that has about 150 employees... 75% of whom are women... and only 2 are over 6'. My point being... there are some.

My height used to bother me until I learned that all professional models are anywhere from 5'10" to 6'2". Our height is actually an advantage... one that a lot of women wished they had.

Something else... hormones deplete muscle mass. When I was a guy, I was very muscular. Nine years of homones changed all that.

That all said...

If you are an attractive guy, maybe you should accept the body God gave you and be happy where you are, and as you say, appreciate women for who they are.

You said you were looking for a TS friend. I think you found one.

Mm... well sort of. I'm not post-op. I'm still pre-op, and doubt I'll ever go through SRS... so i'm more of a non-op TS.
