Good luck on your journey 8-)

If your like me, you want boobs and pass as girly but the lower parts remain.

Pretty much! And thanks!

turns out the gods are fickle bastards... you end up with massive boobs instead , you may have to throw the quiet look...


seriously though hormonal therapy can shift where the chunk sits a fair bit, good luck reguardless I hope you find a place you feel comfortable with yourself.

Well I promise not to complain too much if massive boobs are destined.

I know! I'm trying to loose as much chunk as possible now in preparation for that.

well I'm hoping that WHEN the time comes it shifts to all the RIGHT locations...

I had a couple friends who went through it all ... some went a bit weird deciding they couldn't associate with their suportive friends that helped them... one friend even decided that now he was a girl he shouldn't like startrek ... and sold all his collectors edition everything from tos to ds9...


PLEASE don't do that, remember changing gender is NOT changing personality.. don't ever become someone you were not, if you promise that I swear I'll love you for it

(sorry it just hurts when you help someone, defend them from their parents, and have them reject your friendship for years only later to expect you to keep them entertained late nights online when they are bored... I deleted them from my contacts after that, real friends are always friends, not just when it's conveniant)

gah sorry again but yeah GOOD LUCK with everything

Yikes, that sounds like a rough transition!

But the way I figure it, I'm ME, first, and foremost. Then, I'm a Nerd. Then, somewhere down the line is my gender/sex. They're important, but they don't supplant who I am.

No roadblock is insurmountable. If its what's you want, fight for it tooth and nail.

Good advice! Thank you!

Good luck then.

Thank you muchly! Why the straight face?

To show how sincere my wishes of luck are.

*crosses paws for ya*

Thank ya!

Best of luck to you.

Thank you very much!

I had no idea you were transgender.

Conceptually at this point--gotta get over a couple hurdles to even start on hormones. It's something I've been planning for some time but never really started.

Well, you're either transgendered or you're not? Going through the physical process is another matter.

=P I don't like labels--there's so much baggage that comes with them all. I'm me, and I'm trying to get a mostly-girly body. Call it what you like.

Mostly girly? Planning on keeping certain bits the way they are?

I have no major issues with my bits and they have no issue with me. No reason to change them. ^_^

and another one who is going MtF... good luck to you on your journey.

Well because going MtM is a bit redundant.

If you ever need advice or someone to talk about anything, my wife is a transgender woman who loves to help other people where she can! *hugs*

I might do just that! I seem to have lost her link. Could I impose on you to PM it to me?

Yay!

As a trans woman following your stuff, feel free to ask about anything. I have five years of experience in this woman thing and can tell you a thing or two about a thing or two. ;)

Also HRT+sprio is CHEAP. I spent 15 bucks a month on mine, but depending on your size/weight you may pay as little as 8. ;)

I'm not sure what that is. I haven't looked much at the lists of various anti-androgens and estrogens.

If you're in the US you'll probably be put on Estrofem (generic estradiol) and spironolactone. Both these meds are on the four dollar generic list at most pharmacies.

Oh, good--because I was worried I'd have to just load up on Phytoestrogens.

Just, out of curiosity, because it it has alway intrigued me and I hope you don't mind the question.

At which point did you realize it was not just a fetish, but something you need to go through? when did you know it was not just fantasy, but a necessity for yourself?

Unless you have always know who you really was and were just waiting to be ready?

Good question! For me, it was when I found myself thinking about being a girl outside of sexual situations. I would find myself looking at girls and having, as a first thought, "I want to BE that."

And then not so much as a necessity. I don't have gender disphoria, really. I'm not UNhappy being a guy, just aware that I'd be happier as a girl. And if there's enough time in the course of a lifetime to go for it and see if it truly does make me happy, why not do it?

Hah, thanks!
