Where Are All Of The Ftms?

[Guest Court]

I'm looking for more FTMs to talk to. Right now I have no one, lol. I'm looking forward to hearing your stories so we can compare. I would also like to talk to older FTMs or just guys in general who have gone through the entire process. I have stuff to figure out before considering surgery. Please contact me to chat.

Hey Court I'm Shannon. I'm not FTM trans but my partner is, I'm trying to get him on this site (he's away right now on vaca) but when he does, I'll tell him to contact you to chat! He's 16 by the way, is that alright?

[Guest shannon]

Crap I'm really sorry, its late and I get letters confused sometimes. My boyfriend is actually MTF not FTM. Sorry! If you still want to talk to him about being trans and stuff I'm sure he'd love to chat. Sorry for the mix up! (I need to get some sleep haha).

*waves* I'm here, but most of the time i'm hanging about in the chat (99.9 % of the time with the MTFs) the FTMs are very in short supply but we are here and happy to talk whenever - we're just not prone to being as chatty i think

- here if you ever wanna chat

hiya just joined this forum was on the old one. good thing about these boreds is you can chat talk and ask questions to other ftm's

[Guest matthew41]

Hey court,

I have been a member of this forum for a few weeks now. Been watching the chat rooms over on the playground waiting for other ftm's to show up but few if any are there. Logged into chat on Friday night for the scheduled ftm chat but no one was there either. Seems we just aren't finding each other. I am 3 years into transition and have had chest surgery. Looking forward to meeting you and others.

later,

Matt

[Guest Mani]

Maybe we should schedule a new time for the ftm meetings? As far as I know there hasn't been a ftm meeting for weeks or even months.

I go to the chatrooms at random times during the day, but once classes start in a month I won't have much time for the chatroom.

Hello all! *waves* Billy here. Just joined about a week or so ago and haven't had time to check back since!

I am a 42 year old FtM (and very gay, lol) who is just beginning transition. Better late than never I guess! Would love to join a ftm chat sometime, or is there another one for gay ftm's?

Anyway, glad to be here and give me a holler if you want to chat!

Hey, I'm a gay FTM aswell. even if i dont like to admit it.....But it's not easy to guess with me. lol

Hey there Matty! You don't like to admit you're gay? That makes me sad Why? If you want to talk, I will listen. There are more of us out there than I could have imagined, although since my transition has only just begun I wonder how bio gay males will accept me. Kind of scary really.

Let me know if you need someone to talk to, ok?

Hugs!

[Guest matthew41]

Cheerful news for gay ftms ( and to think I believed I was the only one in the world...)

I dunno why, cause i have no problem with gay people i just dont want to be gay myself, people pin down stereotypes expect me to be all camp and all that, or it's like "So why are you saying your a man? when you could just be like a straight woman" i dont feel like a woman never have done, but to otehr peole it makes no sense. I dont think being gay makes anyone less of a man, at all, but it's just being trapped in thi body it' like well cause otheer people cant get there head aroun it and i find it hard to exp;ain i can't really get my head round it.

[Guest BillyMack]

Thanks for that link Prince...it says what I feel much better than I ever could!

And Matty...hang in there. I get that same line all the time. People telling me I am just a lesbian who can't deal with the idea. Um, no. Never been attracted to women yet. People will think what they will, and all we can do is try to educate them. And if they still don't get it well, fair enough, time to move on. Only YOU know how you feel and who you are attracted to. Just because you don't fit people's lame stereotypes shouldn't stop you from being your fabulous self. Easy to say, I know...I have to remind myself the same thing every day, lol!

Just yesterday a woman in a local shop asked me, "Paper or Plastic, sir..." then she apologised. I said, "My dear, don't be sorry...because I am a sir!" Those little things make me smile!

Hugs!

[Guest skipper]

I'm just in the beginning of the beginning because I only just recently talked with my doctor about being Transsexual. Whether I'm a candidate for FTM remains to be seen depending on what my doctor and I discover... Point is, I'm up for a discussion, as well about anything to do with being one gender in the opposite gendered body. Transitioning, if I decide to do that? Huge journey, I think.

[Guest corrin]

hello everone im new to the forum but im hear to talk, and matty and billy, im bi too, well i love all genders and so the word i use is queer. anyway im hear now!

[Guest BillyMack]

Hello Corrin and Skipper!

Transitioning...HUGE journey. I am only beginning my transition and so far it's been a roller coaster. I am glad that I made the decision to come out, but then again sometimes I start to believe my friend who seems to think that I must be insane and that it's a phase and blah blah blah. I haven't even started on hormones yet, so I can only imagine what is in store for me. But do I feel like I have made the right decision? Yes. When I think of continuing to live as I have been for the past 42 years, it makes me so terribly depressed that I know I am doing the right thing. It hurts me when my best friend of 30 years calls me weird, even though she's "joking" and uncomfortable with me now, it still hurts. It would be nice to at least be supported by people who I thought cared about me. I know if the situation was reversed, I would be there for her.

Wow...I just totally went on a rampage there. Sorry! It's a tough time for me right now, and all I can say about transitioning is that it is wonderful and completely terrifying at the same time. I am so glad I found this board and the caring community here, and I think you will be glad too.

Love + Hugs,

Billy
