What Is The Exact Reason Why Transition Or Want To?

Well, personally I am transitioning because I really dislike my body and because I felt like a liar everytime I said my female name. I do not particularly care for masculinity anymore than femininity. I mean, I like girly colors and tight clothing when the tight clothing doesn't make my figure look feminine. I am not bothered being read as I know I am a guy and I am aware I am not genetically male so why should I care if someone figures it out? I live in a liberal area and the chances of me being transbashed are fairly slim. I do have to say I hate being read because of my voice or physical figure since those bother me but if they figure me out by my face I have no problem.

Well, Hon......

I'm glad that you are comfortable at the level that you are.

But, with me, I need to take it all one step further...in my direction...

Everything girly...Name, clothes, treatment, stuffed animals...you name it...I need that affirmation...

I have to make up for more than 6 decades of being in a prison ....

I'm now free and I have so little time to make it all up...the life that I was supposed to of had and never did until now...

I'm transitioning because I feel like the only way I can truly be happy and be fulfilled is to live the rest of my life

in the gender that I always felt I was in my mind, but with a body that didn't match. I need my mind and my body

to be in synch. Transition will make that a reality. Then I will be who I was meant to be 56 years ago.

well, with me it was that i just couldn't stand that face in the mirror anymore. I was able to ingore it for 19 years, but then I couldn't help but accept anymore that wasn't me in the mirror. I never really saw myself in it, but ignored that fact. Now finally on hormones i can see myself in the mirror, little by little I start to actually be happy with the image i see in the mirror. Finally I can enjoy looking at myself ^_^

though i still have lot's of body image issues, they're getting better :--)

grts & hugs,

I have a weird attitude about transitioning. I am doing it because it is my birthright to have a female body. Transitioning all the way is as close as I can ever get in this lifetime.

Ditto on that Dee Jay!!

My prison has only been 4 decades... but still....

I've felt like a zombie going thru the motions of living someone else's life.

Now on this path... I am finally feeling wholly me.

If I lived in a more liberal area and did not fear trans-bashing I would not care if I was read or not - but as for a bit of feeling secure I would prefer if they did not know.

Transitioning to pass is not the reason - this much work, time and expense should be spent because of how it will make you feel - wherever you are comfortable is where you should stop - I am probably going to have to go all the way because Dee Jay pointed out the stuffed animals as a way of feeling more girly - but I have always collected Stuffed Animals.

I just want to be able to take a bubble bath and just see a woman nothing else.

Love ya,

Way back in the Dark Ages (the 1960's) I came to realize that I just "didn't fit", couldn't fit as a supposed guy. I didn't speak the language, couldn't grasp the customs, and just couldn't relate to ANYONE well because I didn't even know who and what I was - though I knew who I WASN'T. Most people assumed I was a girl or were at least puzzled as heck why this obviously-girl was pretending to be/trying to pass as a guy.

I really had no idea what life would be like after transition/SRS but I was in a burning high-rise and I was going to die if I didn't jump so I jumped.

I couldn't believe how easy and natural life was as a girl - it was me and I was it. It didn't have as much to do with anatomy as it did with finding myself and being able to grow and develop as a real person, ME!

I have always felt that I was in the wrong body. Most things about it just feel wrong to me. Some of those I will never be able to change but everything that I can I will till I reach the point where my body matches as close as possible what my mind says I am.

All my life to about 2 years ago I thought I could never transition, that I would never be able to pass as a woman. But I finally got sick of living a lie and could no longer live that lie. Even if I can never pass and get read every where I ever go, at least I am going to live my life true to myself.

Love and *hugs*

That's a great question...

I can sure relate to a great deal of what I've read and can totally understand the feelings that come through.

I had just posted on a different thread that for me the male gender portrayal had become and incredible burden. It was exhausting and led to depression as well as physical sickness. I was a wreck and I'm lucky to have made it out... The female presentation has truly been easy in comparison. And I always feel like I am who I am, no matter what and before, I didn't have that feeling except in rare flashes.

'Exact reason: It feels good and the other way felt bad. The challenging part I believe is coming to understand that and deciding to feel good.

I have decided to transition over because I am tired of living a lie. My whole life I knew somehow my sex was wrong. I am still scared and I am not out to anyone but my immediate family and yet I will go through the transition because I want to be me and not someone acting like they are someone else. I hope this helps.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.
