Yeah Remrie, you're gorgeous. Go to prom with me? :`o

You'd probably be the only one with a 22 year old woman as your prom date! ;D
And you can sure bet I would.

Ah it's okay, I'm 23 so we're both totally crashing teh prommies. xD I bet I can drink more punch than anyone else! glugluglug Hold the phone .. this isn't punch! *passes out in the middle of the dance floor*

For the Rose is a Beautiful Flower

A gorgeous woman once told me that beauty is 90% attitude, 10% looks.

I went from looking like a dumpy housewife to being sexy,
mostly through change in attitude,
this lead to improved posture,
buying clothes that look good on me,
smiling more (okay, so my lover has a bit to do with the smiles too biggrin )
and generally presenting myself in a more attractive way.

The trick is to look at yourself honestly.
What are your good features?
play those up.
What are your not so good features?
play those down.

It's more challenging when you're trying to look male when you have a very female body.
And vice-versa I'm sure.
One of my best features when I want to look like a woman is my ample chest,
but they really get in the way when I want to look like a guy!

Nice to meet you too Remrie and Viscount ! whee I'm just reading the last few pages to catch up and know whats goin on. And I know how you feel Siletta, when I'm going through one of those days when I feel more masculine and dress in one of my nicer male attire or when I'm looking for some guy cloths and it's difficult finding just the right size because of my D-cup goods -_- My mate don't mind though, he loves them no matter how I dress lol

The difference between a beautiful fat person and a ugly skinny person is exactly that, attitude. The problem is too many fat people, or too many people who think of themselves as less-than do not have the supportive attitude to reflect who they want to be. If you don't support yourself, kinda hard to get support from others.

Quite honestly, from what I've seen from genetic girls and mainstream media is societies preference for feminine boys. Feminine in body structure, facially, etc but masculine in their clothes, attitude, and self identification. Such as male models or gay guys who all the genetic women I hear about all the time are always complaining the best guys are effeminate gay guys. If they knew of a effeminate straight guy you can bet they would be all over them.

The support is out there for any type of person as long as they support themselves emotionally themselves from the beginning.

You look lovely. I hope 2 years works magic for me, too. ;__________;

But I know a lot of your beauty comes from within.

Assuming your HRT is somewhat agressive, 8 months to a year is all you'll need to go full time without any problems. Beyond that it's all who you are and confidence yes. Might be slightly different time wise for FtM but I like to say clothing and confidence before hormones and surgery when it comes to what is most effective.


"Whather a person thinks they can or thinks they can't, they are most certainly correct" ~ Henry Ford

I'm at 7 or 8 months (I honestly don't know, 2 months ago I said 6 but I thought I was at 7... wtf) and I pass alright. But as a BOY. I won't look like a MAN until I've been on T for a year or two. Gotta make it through boyhood before I can hope to make it to manhood... ;_________;

Definitely agree with the confidence thing. When I am confident I pass without problem. I was very confident at college, even before I took testosterone, and when I said I was a guy people took my word for it. The closest thing I ever got to being "outed" was when in my theater class I played a gay man and someone said, "Wow, you play a lesbian frighteningly well." It was kind if a comment out of ignorance... I was obviously playing a gay MAN. For some reason they thought I was trying to be a butch dyke even thought the character was flamboyantly gay.

I'm honestly not trying to cause any sort of problems when I ask this...
But...

When you (A transexual) need to fill out a legal document (or medical document, anything official basically)

Which gender do you pick?

I mean... it's not like your options are..

Male,
Female,
Other,

What do you do?

Because my sex is legally female, I usually leave the area blank. I let them assume I "forgot" to fill it out, but in reality, it's just because I refuse to check female and don't want to get into trouble for checking male.

[Syndactyly]

The X-Crawl DJ

But that's what I'm trying to say...
Is that on things like legal forms... medical documents, things where you have to be very precise about what you say...
What do you say?
You can't just pick one cause that's what you want it to say.

I mean... it's not like when you go to apply for health insurance that your options are, Male, Female, and other.

Thanks for your answer Sephroe,
But you didn't quite answer my question.
(I think you did, thought not directly)

For legal documents, I must put my legal sex and legal name. Otherwise the documents are fraudlulent.

In the case of medical records and health insurance, I must select female, even though I have been living as a man full time for over a year. I cannot legally change my sex until my first surgery.

RAWRGHHHH SO ANGRY AT LIFE
And some stuff in this thread.

Not been able to get online lately because of Navy stuff. But also been avoiding this thread when I was able because you all are always SO EMOOOO
Wtf.

When I first got here you all were like, just chatting.
Now it seems like every single page is emoemoemoemo
Even the arguments were better than this, guys. Seriously. sad

Well, Mr. Half Trans (by your definition, not mine), in a happy relationship with a straight guy, things are a little different for us...

I'd rather be unaccepted by you and be "half trans" (When did I ever use that term) than crying in a corner every day about how my body isn't the way I want it to be.

;P

Hey, try not too be too butt-hurt over it. Me being "critic" and stating the obvious is just my opinion.

I mean, afterall, butthurt-ness is just how someone allows themselves to be affected by another's opinion, right?

Just sayin'.


@Sephroe Zion
You look just like one of my old friends.
Sort of creepy how similar you two look, actually. D: D:

But that aside.
You look good. =3

That shouldn't give you license to be an a*****e.

Seriously, if you're always going to treat transpeople this way, you shouldn't be here. This thread isn't for critics.

I think you're right about the support thing.
After all, how many people want to help someone who isn't doing anything to help themself?

And as to the more feminine males,
I often find myself attracted to bishounen.
In fact when I try to draw men they tend to look rather androgynous.
So much so that I once joked about creating a comic about a boy band of bishounen.
They would be called the "Biishi Boys"
Except I know nothing about the music industry,
so I wouldn't be able to write such a thing.

Yeah Remrie, you're gorgeous. Go to prom with me? :`o

Hey, X-Crawl DJ, you raised an interesting question. I think it differs with everyone. For medical stuff I check the little "F" box, but a lot of times, for most other things, I check M. But see .. sometimes I'm not really sure what to mark. For job applications, it's a really difficult decision. Because my birth name hasn't changed, but I've gotten so used to being Gavin and M in all daily situations that I "slip-up" and check M even when maybe I shouldn't have. And plus on job apps I can't put my real name anyway, but when I get to the gender marker I still want to check M. Which makes me wonder what the people who eventually read it think. "A guy named Rebecca? Weird." xD

I can't wait to get my name changed. T__T; It will be such a relief.

Speaking of body type .. I was just thinking about this the other day. I have an hourglass shape too. I'd kill to be narrow and curve-less like I was when I was a kid. :`o I can cover it up with baggy clothes, and if I wear my jeans really low it's not *quite* as noticeable, but still, yeesh with the bum that sticks out if I'm not careful and have bad posture for a moment. It's really unfortunate. I have kind of a nice female body, fairly proportionate and a really thin waist. But omg I can't tell you how much I don't want it. I feel like an a** too, for rejecting something that most people think is a good thing. But it's not me. It's not what I feel I should look like at all. D:

Like I posted before, my body isn't exactly how I'd like:

Again, don't click if you're scared of seeing my bod:
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt174/syndactyly01/curves.png

I have some "curves" but I'm definitely no hourglass... I think my major issue is being so thin, still at least 10 lbs underweight (for a FEMALE, probably around 20 for a guy, male BMI applies to me now that I'm on T). I noticed in Remrie's slideshow that a lot of the male shape I want is muscle. After a couple of years on estrogen her body started to look a lot more like how mine is today; smaller looking shoulders and torso... before she had that wide look that I want. That look only comes from years of testosterone and exercise.

After 7-8 months on T, my a** has gone from round to square-ish. I really am not happy with that change, I love men who have a nice round a**. I'm hoping that with weight gain my a** will be less muscle and more fat. Right now I have like, the a** of a Kenyan Olymipic runner, minus the awesome skin.

Some people think I am transitioning because I've always lacked in female features. My puberty started at the normal age, but then stopped. I continued having periods but my body stopped changing. I was stuck looking like a 14 year old girl and now with testosterone I've moved forward a bit and am looking a little older, but not by much according to most people. Then again, most people categorize aging by stereotypes, and don't realize that men and women come in all shapes and sizes.

Everyone in this thead is beautiful, and i dont mean that in the wrong way by anymeans. You guys have given me the courage to be open with who i am, and i wanted to say thank you to you all, and im sorry for all my Emotional breakdowns. I love you all, and thank you so much for not hating me, and giving me the courage to be honest with myself as well as the world around me.

I got back my insurance, and i start testosterone again next month. I am going through what my doctor called "My final puberty" and its killing me. My voice is shot, and i cant sing anymore D:. But on the plus side, imma have a sexy voice. XDDD

To all of you guys who have missed it. I have started the website and the bank account for the fnds i was telling you about. Im working on getting the paypal to function, ending the story directly to the buyers, and im going to use this to help eventually pay for the hormone therapy/gender assignments for those of you whom are ready for the transition. It will be a slow start up process, but i will get it there.

Syn, The Viscount, Tuah, Lullaby, and Lupin, you have all been my inspirations through this. Siletta, you have been my inspiration, and Zephroe, you have been my motivation. I see how happy you appear, and i am assuming it isnt fake. In the near future, i will be posting the site up here, and once its up and going, i will get in touch with the doctors from all over america, then perhaps work on global. I will now also try to frequent this thread, and give insight, as well as hug everyone. Thanks again you guys.

I'm having a bad day. I just want to know what I am and have it over with, but it doesn't work that way. Although it's only been like a month since I started questioning my gender, I still don't know my true sexual orientation and I've been wondering about that for years. I've also been wondering if I might be FtM instead of androgynous. How do you know? I've been perfectly happy with being a girl until a few weeks ago, unlike most trans people who have known their whole lives. I'm just really confused. I also have this strong urge to just chop all my hair off, even though I like my long hair. I really don't want to do it but I just have this urge. It feels like the urge to cut. (Yes, I used to cut.)
