I have been a female for as long as I can remember, I love to feel pretty, and will never forget the first time I did. I was three years old, and put myself into a pair of my mother's satin panties. I was later a bedwetter, and was thrilled with the feel and smell of vinyl underpants as well. I have been secretly dressing as a female practically my whole life. A few years ago, I experimented with hormones, and my breast development seemed slow to come, that is until I quit taking hormones after 6 months! I am a bit over 6 ft tall, and my build can only be described as bodybuilder/athlete. I have a 36" inseam... My legs are very nice, but above the waist I don't believe I could ever pass, and it depresses me. (Fyi, I said Lean, and I weigh 230lb.) Nevertheless I struggle with wanting to continue hormones... Hey, this is not a book, lol.

Welcome Rachel,

I am very happy to meet you. You have taken a very important step in understanding who you are and getting support... joining Laura's! Now sweetheart, listen to me very carefully... Never, ever take hormones without the guidance and supervision of a qualified physician!! You are playing russian roulette with your health by taking them outside of the medical community. Additonally, you do not really know what you are taking if you obtain hormones that are not prescribed and provided to you via official controlled medical channels.

You MUST work with a gender therapist to work with your identity and after discussion, hormones may be prescribed. Self-diagnosis is a common, yet very dangerous avenue people take. Until you are under the care of the medical community, do not take hormones. Stick to crossdressing, shaving your body, wearing perfume, painting your nails, etc. These activities will really really help in expressing who you are without the dangers of self-HRT. if you think about it, self-HRT is just as absured as self-SRS. I know it seems extreme, but you wouldn't consider performing surgery on yourself now would you?

I am so glad that you joined Laura's sweetheart, and I want to continue to hear about how you are doing!!!

Setup an appointment with a gender therapist as soon as you can. Gender therapists are available online too.

Welcome Rachel

Take care of yourself, please!!!!

Thanks to all of you for your kind words and concerns. There seems to be a concensus among you that self hrt is a dangerous thing, and I agree that it definitely can be.

Yes, it was self prescribed hrt, nothing grand or overexuberant I assure you. My nipples enlarged in diameter by about a third, and the longer I was on, the more they burned and were very sensitive. That was quite a few years ago, and the lumps behind my nipples have resolved and I am left with perky little breasts. I have def seen normal males exhibit more breast tissue than I have, so I don't look feminine there til I shave, if a 48" chest can look feminine! I kind of miss the sensitivity of my nipples. Genetic women have it so darn good!!!

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath. 
    • Ashley0616
      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
    • Ashley0616
      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.
