CDs, would u choose to become a TS?

[Annaliese2010]

If u r a CD that DOESN'T feel TS, like me, and u had the chance to change into a TS, would u?...

By TS dyu mean surgical transformation? If so...nah uh, nope! I love my lovestick more than my lipstick & would never give it up! Nahda never nicht nyet! Besides...it makes a better woman outta me - if that makes sense. If it does, explain it to me cuz even I'm not sure what I'm tryin to say except I know it's true.

[Carly D]

Only if the pay was good...

[NathalieX66]

Latent transsexualism was the term I thought of today. Did I make that up?

You really have to want to or need to really badly.

If I could become a pretty, young female, sure. But I have no desire to change from a frumpy middle aged guy who has no one to date, to become a frumpy, middle aged woman who has no one to date.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

Current Answer- No, I would not take the pill, I could not survive without my male side and all the components (testosterone, etc.) that makes my male side.

[LaurenMc]

yes. without hesitation.

[AmberM]

Yes, I would take the pill. My parents and my fiance accept me so I would enjoy being a woman full time.

[Davina-Alba]

No, I am a male who prefers to wear female clothing. I don't even feel the urge to try and pass as a woman, I'd just like to have the freedom of choice to dress how I want, and if that includes lacey undies etc or even wearing a dress or skirt why should I not do so.

I have known three trans-sexuals in my life and from talking with them I know that my CD feelings have nothing in common with them at all. Two of my TS friends were married with children but the third was a boy that one of my step-sons went to school with. I really think he was too young when he had the op (19) but he does seem happy and much more at ease with the world and unlike my two married friends he was always a very effeminate boy.

No, for me cross dressing is just what it says on the tin.

Indeed - maybe if I could become a sex goddess I'd reconsider my last post

I don't know if this was brought up yet but you don't "choose" to be TS anymore than you choose blond hair or pale skin or being left handed. you can change all those if you want but you were still born with them just like you are born TS.

Some TS start as crossdressers for one reason or another but that does not mean they chose being TS.

That's very true but I am sure no-one here is meaning to suggest otherwise or be uncaring. I think that at the heart of the question is whether those of us to enjoy cross dressing would, if it was easily managed, "go the whole way". I think for most of us the answer is no. I have thought about it and I have talked about it with TS friends. It isn't who I am or who I want to be.

Mind you, if there was a pill that you could take to become fully female and another one which would reverse the process, who knows?

[Emily Ann Brown]

That was a time when I would have paid good money for a pill to make Em go away. Now I have accepted myself..it is what it is.

I agree. I would not wish this on my BOSS or an enemy.


Em

Well the BOSS maybe!

[lmildcd]

I wouldn't go through the change. I just CD because it makes me feel better when I'm down in the dumps. I don't pretend to be a woman.

"What's the difference between a CD and a TS, Steph? 3 years!"
I KNOW that's NOT tru, because I've been HERE 3 years and still have no clue what being a TS feels like!

My imaginary PILL can only make u FEEL like a TS! It won't make u pretty, and won't change your gender!
If you already feel like u r TS, the pill won't do ANYTHING!

Here's the POINT of my POST:
I was curious how if any CDs would like to find out what being TS feels like! I certainly would!
( I think).

[KateW]

I think I am somewhere between the two. Crossdressing alone isn't enough for me anymore, and as I become more comfortable with it, feel myself taking small steps towards transition. Whether that happens in 2 years or 20 I do not know, but the more time I spend as "me", the less I want to change back.

[Roxxy]

I like just being a plain old CD.

[Misty G]

I know one person personally who made the transition had all the surgeries top/bottom/facial/hair transplants the whole works after a year and a half decided it was all a mistake. Had surgery to remove breast implants and now lives as a fem. looking male.

[eluuzion]

Well it depends...how much does the pill cost? I am still looking for some unique Xmas gifts for some of my friends...

No, I will "pass" on that offer, lol.

I agree with Reine.

Horses pull the carts. Carts don't pull the horses. It is a process of aligning the body to the soul, not changing into something "different".

I am just fine. But I am still interested in a "pill" that can make you invisible or gives you the ability to fly, if you ever have any of those in stock.

[busker]

other than based on the patient's own self assessment.

There is an old saying that a doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient. How can a CD's or potential TS's assessment be considered a valid pov? That's like a teacher hearing johnny say 2+2 is 5, and the teacher hearing the explanation and AGREEING with it, despite knowing that it is not correct.

[AKAMichelle]

The answer would have to be NO. I really enjoy being a male at least most of the time.

[shannonFL]

It's...kinda like....if i could i would....but i can't...so i won't....?

[CharleneT]

Interesting perpective, Reine. I continue to experience extraordinary "highs" when dressing. It seems to me, a TS would NOT feel those same "highs"!? Rather I would expect more of a calm feeling. Of course, not being TS, I really don't know!

I'm a transitiong MTF TS.

"Calm", indeed, that is the word I would use to describe it. When I get up in the morning and get dressed, it doesn't excite me in anyway - other than I might be happy that I've put together a decent outfit for the day. There is no "high" involved, getting dressed is just getting dressed. Putting makeup on is a necessary evil. I'd rather not wear it everyday, it isn't that I do not like makeup but that I don't like being stuck with it. The important thing to consider here is that same calm comes from every aspect of my life right now. It isn't about clothes or any other physical thing: it is about being able to live the way my brain believes I should.

So, if this magic pill makes you into a TS, you are also going to lose the "highs" that you may feel when you dress up and go out. Some time back, someone here made a joke that I think may fit here:


When a CD comes home after a long day at work, she runs upstairs, puts on her bra and says "ahhhh....."

When a TS comes home after a long day at work, she runs upstairs, takes off her bra and says "ahhhh....."

** I used "she" here because that is the way I read this joke originally, but it can reworked with "he" too

[ReineD]

It seems to me, a TS would NOT feel those same "highs"!? Rather I would expect more of a calm feeling.

That was my point entirely.

[AlannahNorth]

No, not unless I was in some sort of terrible accident and lost some parts (yikes!)... and then in that case, well why not?
