Not Sure about my status

[Stock level]

I figured I'd put this here rather than in my intoduction. I consider myself a crossdresser. Occasionally I dress and I am very bi when I do, though I prefer more fem men, other CDs TV etc over basic guys. I would like to do some body modification just to make it easier to dress up. Hair removal a must! But I would like some breast enhancement. maybe increase a cup or something I know I'm at least an A. But I have even though about seeing what it would take to have the testies removed hoping that any feminizing from that would make changes easier.

So I guess I'm not just a CD than am I. I still want to keep my dangly bit. functioning is optional. I am not willing to get breast implants.

Can anyone straighten me out?

You will find you are not alone on this forum.We all differ somewhat but there will always some girls who know and feel exactly as you do.Ask anything you like and don't be shy.Hope you like it here.I don't think we can straighten you out because most of us run a little crooked also.

Welcome stock level. You will find that it takes time to determin your 'status' on the TG spectrum. There is a lot of good information on this site, so jump in and read. You also might want to look up "Body Dysmorphic" on the web , it's a condition people sometimes develop over their body image. I believe it is classified as a disorder associated with plastic surgery. As most will tell your here it does NOT mean you have a problem, but helps you define who you are as a person, and understanding who you are leads to a greater peace as a person.

Welcome to the forum.

If you are really unsure who you are, go and see a gender therapist. It really helps talking to a professional

Removing your testicles is an extreme move. I believe that you will have a hard time finding a Dr that will remove them when there is not a medical reason.

If you are just looking to have breasts, your best bet and quickest, easiest choice would be breast augmentation. It is rather easy to find a surgeon that will perform the surgery.

I agree with you that hair removal is a must. There are permanent ways to do this. I am in the process of face and neck using laser treatment. There are many threads on the forum discussing this topic.

Actually, you sound a bit like me, somewhere in the middle. I've always said that if I could change anything about my body, it would be hair and boobs. I would like more hair on my head and less everywhere else. I would love to have breasts. However, I really like my guy parts. My wife likes those, too.

It's strange though, I really don't mind shaving, and I don't think I'd want laser or electrolysis to get rid of my facial hair. First off, I hate pain. Second, I like the idea that, if some day I want to, I can still grow a beard and mustache. And the process of getting breasts have way too many side effects. Hormones would mean losing some of the functionality of my guy parts with no guarantee of breasts that I'd be happy with, and surgery, besides having some risk and side effects, has that pain that I hate.

So for now, I'll settle for the body that I have, along with breast forms, razors, and beard cover and supplemental hair. I can live with that. I'm happy with that. I'm in the middle, and I rather enjoy it here, being able to appear more feminine at those times when I feel more feminine and being able to look more masculine when I feel more masculine.

I might add a word of caution. Before you make any drastic decisions, like having parts lopped off or adding chemicals to your body, make sure that your judgement isn't being clouded by the pink fog. Think things through, talk them out, write them down and read about them. Getting some 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th opinions is always a good idea. And if you're in a relationship, make sure that you have a clear understanding of what all of this means to your partner.

Like I said, I like it here in the middle. But that's just me, and not for everybody.

Grace,
Bobbi

I think you may be a transgender gender dysphoric body dysmorphic transsexual genderqueer crossdresser. Karen said it best labels are for fabulous designs not those that wear them. My best diagnosis is that you are you.

I agree with you that body hair is the scourge of the earth and I also wish I could change things that would make my body match the woman inside, but changing your body isn't like remodeling the bath. You can always go back to the old style bath if you don't like the new. You can't just sew the boys back on or snip off the new boobies. Therefore, make darn sure that you are sure before you make any changes to the original design.

Hey like others have said, the best option is to see a gender therapist. But here are some questions that you can ask yourself that may help you figure out your status a little bit.

Do you wish to feminize your body just to ease dressing/sexual reasons or to actually live as a woman?
Can you imagine daily life as a woman/do you wish to life daily life as a woman?
Do you imagine life as a woman to be all frilly dresses and flowers?
Can you see yourself in the future as an old lady?

Thank you all for commenting so far. You have me thinking about a few things. As far as the name goes, its Danielle but there are a LOT of Danielles on here. Anyway, to answer one question, I do not have a desire to live as a woman. I do have a desire to remove some masculine things about me, body hair being the main one. I have looked into laser both in Europe and in the US and it is probably the next thing I will do. Not to gross anyone out but I have a lot to get rid of. I'm not a sweater guy but I've got enough on my back to make it a problem so thats the first to go, then my butt. Biggest reason, too hard to shave/Nair. I always seem to miss some (thats always sexy isn't it?) I think I could do my chest and legs and leave it at that. Then electrolosis to clean up any left over.

As far as breasts go, nothing surgical. Something to grow some small ones on my own. As far as my testies go, I've been snipped so I only use them to fill my briefs and generate testosterone.

As far as a therapist, perhaps I do need to see one. Just to see what they think might be best for me.

I like being a guy, dad, husband. I also love getting femm'd up, its a real sexual turnon, the sex is never bad.

thanks for all the help ladies,

Danielle

I have lasered all my hair below my chin, quite costly but worth every penny. As for the rest I have no experience to share, best thing to do is research to see what you really want for your self because surgery is a big and costly step!

A therapist would probably be a good idea! You don't want to do anything that you may regret
