Dark place. This is my first time doubting who I am and what I am doing. Geez i hope this isn't a common occurrence. Last night things just went off track totally. The make up went well, I can say that much. The rest of the night it was like I was in a place I should not be. I was angry...

I have been looking around a lot to find out how exactly people have a sex change. I understand that you go through a surgery, as well as taking hormones to get the final effect, but there are some things that I wonder. 1. How much can they actually change your body? I know you can't actually...

Hi I am planning to transition in the very near future, I have a young daughter (she turns 4 in July). I don't live with her or her mother any more but see her about 3 times a week. Me and my ex dont know what the best way to do it around her, we don't want it to ruin her life or for it to be...

Well, i had my very first mammogram today! I am having BA in two weeks (along with ffs) and needed to have this before then for baseline purposes. I was really happy about this on two counts: first, i actually had enough breast tissue to get decent images, and, second, that it really wasnt all...

I have a question. If you were married to a woman prior to transition and remain married after, what happens if you change your gender marker with Social Security? Does it invalidate your marriage for tax and other legal purposes within a marriage? or do they just kind of ignore it?

....with numbers too big to ignore. And I know too much to go back and pretend.... Several months ago a friend suggested I sing that song for Karaoke, and I did pretty good. Well, now this is my mantra "...I know too much to go back and pretend..." to be a man any more. Since I started this...

Have been on Finasteride for almost 15 month and now started with my first transdermal estrodiol patch today. Wish me luck please~~ :daydreaming:

In the years that led up to me finally deciding that my GD had become unbearable, I have enjoyed sex less and less. In the last year it has decreased to zero. I love my wife, and find her attractive, but the thought of using a penis that at best I'm not on speaking terms with, and at worst I want...

So I'll preface this by saying that my realization that I was transgendered (who am I kidding? I'm a girl), was just 3 months ago. I started talking to a counselor 6 weeks ago - with the goal of trying to accept myself as some type of cross dresser, to do *anything* to avoid transition. So this is...

I am now Candice to all my friends and family! I have been talking with many individually over the course of this year, but come friday I will have been transitioning for 4 months, and on hormones for 1 Mo. I have included a link for my coming out letter. If I said anything on here that isn't...

My wife is currently hosting a friends-get-together party out on our front porch. It's a fantastic evening for a party. The beer, wine, and champagne is flowing. Everyone is having a fantastic time, telling stories, and laughing it up. Everyone is having fun, that is, except me. The thing...

Hello- I have been progressing along the transition path for almost three years and, and will be officially transitioning at work shortly ( i have been FT in all other aspects of my life for a little over a year). I work in a very large public company and have been working closely with HR for...

Hey all Sephina here i am currently a 28 (29 in july) mtf pre transition atm :(, just kind of wondering what the consensus is with the trans community about how trans people identify. Im getting an overwhelming amount of people who despite their assigned birth sex who are pre transition or...

Do TRANSITION If you don't mind these here things: look in the mirror and keep on saying: "gosh I am fat" regardless of how thin you are look in the mirror and see the remnants of a grizzly bear hidden in the crevasse of your mind love the sexual attention coming from the eager males ...

If you went to gender therapy what do you feel was most helpful about it to you? I ask this question because at the time I wasn't sure how helpful the sessions were, some very much but some not so much. Now looking back at the topics we covered I can see a lot of valuable lessons. An HRT...

Hi Girls! Without too much background, how do you deal with depression? Due to extenuating circumstances, I can't really do much to transition right now, and I have been dealing with some depression issues. In addition, I'm moving very soon, so I cannot start with a therapist anytime soon. How...

After I left my last therapy session I felt kind of down. I am experiencing an intense desire to be female. The Cross dressing is not doing it for me as it once did, and more over the Lolita and sissy dresses are beginning to feel wrong for me. What I want at this moment is to be able to dress in...

So the 13th turns out to be my wifes lucky number also. We went to the doctor together on the 13th (first time she has let me come in as opposed to sitting in the waiting room :) ), armed with the letter from her shrink. We left with the prescriptions for the HRT meds. I drover her straight to the...

I thought I'd ask opinions on this one, it might be a dumb question so forgive me. The Kinsey chart is still being mentioned and it seems not everybody agrees with it. For example TS people are categorized from levels 4 to 6 and the treatments are different based on intensity. Obviously a level...

I often write about womanhood as supposed to transwomanhood. I do it deliberately as I truly am a woman, not only in my own perception of realm, but as well, all others who know me and express their own take on who I am to them. However, I want to clarify one very essential aspect of how I was...

I am nearing six years of being my real person in all aspects of life. I live"stealth" So few know I am a transwoman. I only wish I had done it sooner, but not too soon. I was 72 and July 2, 2007 is a red letter date for me. I worked twice for the census just as any other woman. And I have been...

Witness Me or The Roots of Passing A few days ago I commented on of these threads on “passing” . I wanted to pick up on this theme because how we think of it reveals much about who we are. Make no mistake that passing confers the privilege of submerging into the mainstream of society for...

Often I read "will never be a real woman" and lately I am startled by such statements. What do you mean, never!? Yes, the journey had been immensely turbulent and at times indescribably painful, but NEVER..........No I tend to disagree, else, I tend to prove that such is quite possible, because...
