Alice, if I had a miracle cure to give to you, it would be something to do with your family, and the way they have treated you. :eek:

Only if the "Miracle Cure" involved becoming fully female.
I haven't exactly questioned a lot of MTF TS closely about their male sexual response, but what I have surmised from the Transsexual forum here is that the large majority retain some penile response....
My personal experience with breast growth pain is that it was never worse to me than "hitting my funny bone" would be, and that level only when my nipples got dinged by something. I welcome the ache...
I gather that depends a lot on where you are; my reading has suggested that transvestite is used more (and considered appropriate) in the UK.
I moved from my "home town" to where I live now (26 hours drive away) about 22 years ago, following my job. That has had a lot of consequences on my various relationships; my "old friends" have...
My personal opinion is that someone who feels like that (as I did) has a distinct transgender identity. The "lie" (that I was "male") got very hard for me to sustain at work especially.
With regards to active use of the Szondi Test, in a posting here, John William Reich of the Arizona State University ยท Department of Psychology, an author of 74 publications, wrote
And that...
Wikipedia says of the Szondi Test,
In other words, not to be relied upon at all.
"Multiple personalities" is a bit of an overstatement for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), but at least...
I tried it and failed, it became too hard for me. I don't even try anymore. That's why I'm transitioning: my "opposite gender" is "male".
Now if the question had been about chromosomal sex...
One thing to remember is that "transition" does not have to include any particular steps (though medical protocols or legal requirements where you live might make some possibilities unavailable...
DailyXtra reports people have had problems in practice.
I flew within Canada in summer 2013, and New Years 2013, and had no difficulty in this respect.
If I am going to have difficulty it would more likely be after a gender marker change, as my face is...
Are you volunteering to pay for my gender therapy and my HRT medications and my electrolysis? Considering that you feel they are only a "small price" ?
Thought experiment: recall the last time you...
Checking around, I find that implant removal in USA averages about $4000, and implants in USA averages about $6300.
These figures do not take into account any special work that might...
In the FB discussions I have seen, this has not been a problem in practice for anyone who has gone through it.
The key to keep it within legality is to use your legal sex marker on the...
"Balance" is tricky. There is physical size to consider, but there is also "presence", how much psychological space one takes up, how one "carries" oneself. Whether you a "big woman" or you are a...
I am B cup in volume, due to HRT, but I have a wide chest so the protrusion is not much, less than 2 inches. I do not often wear bras. I have not yet had anyone "talk to my chest", not even when I...
I've been full time "obvious" (i.e., skirts or dresses) for over 2 years, and on HRT for 2 2/3 years; I was 24/7 "not always obvious" (e.g., women's jeans, jeggings) for a few years before that. My...
I asked for a referral on augmentation. And I am again going through pictures to figure out how I would ideally like to look and what I definitely do not like.
(It isn't as easy as it sounds,...
With regards to hurting others: I kept out of fights and hurting people. I wasn't "strong", but I had longer arms than typical, so I had more leverage than usual, so I had to be careful because if I...
I used to answer a lot, and give advice or share experiences with people, especially cross-dressers. The more I headed to the TS side, the less of the advice giving I tended to do.
Crossdressing...
Wendy, none of the above for me.
There might be grounds for claiming that I had a "weak father figure", in that my father was quite ill for several years and died when I was 13 (almost 14). I did...
I don't recall that ever happening to me. I would posit that I was too obvious for any need for "testing", but I did get enough "I didn't know" reactions that I would have to discount that.
I did...
The last time I was at one of the larger malls around, in the middle of a work day, I counted 3 women in skirts, 13 in dresses, and 1 in a dress but also wearing leggings. The 13 did include a group...
