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.

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).
