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?

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

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

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 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!

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.

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! :lol:

Hugs!

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.

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

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      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.

      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.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      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.
