Thanks for the support, folks. Felix, you are one of my heroes here, so the encouragement is very cool.

For my promise of a link to the story, sorry that it has been more than a few days, but here...

Let's see: yes, that makes sense. The watch/time one is sad, but true. Map Quest does that, it is annoying, so does Google Maps.

#13 is truly frightening, because you wonder if you say yes and...

You really should talk to your doctor about this. From personal experience, when I bind for long periods, especially tightly, I experience severe discomfort in my chest and back, similar to what you...

This is very rough. Be sure to make some strong online friendships to tide you over and pull you through. You will make some friends who can support you. It may just take a long time and you may have...

Good questions. There is no law that forbids use of facilities by members of the opposite sex. My university forbids discrimination on the basis of gender identify or expressions, which this rather...

I have found myself in a very hard place. Please bear with me a little, as the story is a long one. Last spring, I started taking a men's weight training course at my university. Naturally, I used...

Logan, you are 100% right. I don't feel I am eligible for the award.

I am considering it, however. A older transwoman of my acquaintance who transitioned years and years ago, said that she was...

My Uni offers a scholarship to pay for a summer abroad and I'm a pretty good candidate to getting it. Probably is, the scholarship is limited to women only. I'm not sure if I am "ethically" eligible....

Hey guys,

I've always heard how MTFs often liked mermaids as a child because it helped them understand themselves. I don't know if that's true or not, but it got me wondering.

What are your top...

I also held off on answering this thread to think about it. Sounds like you are having some real body issues. The best I can tell you is that my "acceptance" of my breasts and vulva is directly...

heh. glad I was able to cheer a few people up.

@Poltergeist, Yes, make-up is awesome. (As long as it's not the old lady kind (no offense to old ladies!).)

Thanks for the responses, guys. I thought that maybe I was just being weird and peculiar, but it's good to hear that I'm not alone in my attitude towards gender and sports. I get into arguments like...

Hey guys,

I'm being given a hard time by someone who thinks I don't really want to play sports, because I don't join women's teams. So I thought I'd ask the folks here.

Poll: For the guys...

Yay!

Good for ya! It's awesome, isn't it? To many more such happy occasions!

It really is a matter of confidence, though. I think most of the guys here would agree that passing comes easier...

I preference this by saying that I am in the process of transition, eagerly awaiting the ability to take hormones. I want to transition, as do many of the men here.

The brief point of my post is...

Awesome and welcome! Two hours, I'm jealous. College keeps me so busy that I'm lucky if I get twenty minutes in per day. Actually, I registered for Men's Weight Training in the spring, so if they...

My advice: don't "try" to pass, just find men you can hang out with and start copying their interactions. As your own style of masculinity develops, passing will start coming naturally.

Yeah,...

All the congratulations in the world. This must be a very proud moment for you.

:) :) :)

Wow. Don't know what to say for you, man. That's damn hard.

Stay in the movement. I know its depressing, but the trans community is where you will find support when no one else seems to...

I like how concerned you are for your childrens' well-being. Just remember when you are in counseling that some social workers try to make trans an issue for removing children. I don't know how old...

Okay, firsties, like the other guys defined, sexy in this context means feeling comfortable and attractive in my own skin. Lemme see. . . I remember really enjoying the feeling of underwear when I...

Agree with Felix, great thread. I'm currently quite happily married to a wonderful, supportive, caring man. We've been together for about three years. Unfortunately, he met me before I even knew...

Okay, I have to be the unpopular one here. . . NO, I would not participate in "women bashing" for the sake of fitting in and I frown on guys that do sh*t like that.

However, taking the social role...

I'm really glad that he has found acceptance on the women's team. Apparently his teammates don't feel embarrassed or intimidated by him and he gets to continue playing a sport he loves. Not everybody...

Yikes! Yeah, I *never* had a good therapist until I started seeing someone at my university's counseling center. The difference is unbelievable -- instead of feeling tense and cornered at every...
