partial or full transition

[psion128]

This is something of a "what if in a perfect world" topic. If you would have no social backlash from transitioning either partial or a full transition which would you do? I personally would go for a partial. What would you do? This is more of a curiosity thing to see what the most of the users here feel is best for their needs.

You need to define the terms. What is full and what is partial?

H'm My fem side wants bigger tits. My male side says no way. My fem side says time is on her side, try just a bit. I'm a switcher and there is a delicate relationship between my male and fem self. I do yoga and get-fit to stay in shape. My fem side does wants more natural assets. I will never transition yet my fem side is strong. But my male side is stronger.

Is that what partial is? Having two sides? I thought it might have to do with stopping short of SRS. This is vague as s**t right now.

who says you can't choose? No one is forced to go to any end point. We get to choose how far we are going. Social backlash? As Columbo would say "Uh...just one question before I go...what would the social backlash difference be?"

I don't know which I dislike more - the full vs partial idea, the what-if formulation, or the idea that there's a backlash component to transition decisions. You either need to transition or you don't. You go as far as you need based on what you are. That's all there is. The OP sounds like a fantasy to me.

Totally. I'm of the opinion that "partial transition" is simply not a thing. There are fetishistic people who will perform body modification, and there are people who transition to align with their identity. I fully accept the notion of mixed-gender people who transition to an androgynous state, but that's not "partial transition", just "full transition" to someplace a bit less conventional.

I also really don't get the "fem side"/"male side" stuff, at least not the versions of it that sound like duelling identities. No real human, cis/trans/otherwise is such a caricature that they only have one side of the feminine/masculine coin represented.

By my gods/goddesses I agree with you both, if you are at a point where you are actually happy with your body and identity then you are fully transitioned simple as THAT! just my opinion but there has it xx

There is no such thing as partial transition for a Transsexual, simple as.

[becky77]

Do you actually know what Transition is?

There is no such thing as partial Transition and this really isn't the best place to post fantasy scenarios.

Opps my bad, did not read the OP fully :(

This is not a fantasy forum, the TS forum is for discussing real issues faced by the transexual community. The lives of many of those who read this forum are in turmoil and do not need a "what if" scenario, they have to deal with the here and now not some ill concieved idea of an "ideal" world.

Thread Closed.
