Hi guys I'm new. I just posted in the intro section.

erm I've just been looking through the site and there all these technical terms that i don't know and that confuse me as to what I am. I can't find all the meanings on here.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a quickanswer rather than researching as I'm quite busy with work and brushing my Rabbit's fur and cleaning his pen.

I thoughtI was genderqueer but that term isn't on here. is it a real term? what does it exactly mean in case I'm mistaken?

I've also been told I'm bigendered but also have not seen taht definition on here either. Is this a real word? and what is its exact meaning in case i'm wrong?

What exactly is transgenerist? cas I think I've got the wrong meaning and whats autogynophilia?

Whats the difference between transgender and transexual

Is crossdresser and transvestite the same thing?

sorry to be ignorant or offend I'm constantly offended by people not understanding some of the things I am.

hi Vince, gender-queer is a real term, it means that you're not really sure what you are or that you're kind of androgynous(i think).

bigendered is when you identify as both genders or you would like to live as both genders.

i'm not really sure what a transgenderist is, but i do know that autogynophilia is being attracted to women or people with a female anatomy.

the difference between transgendered and transsexual is that transsexuals wan to have or plan on having srs (sex reassignment surgery) while transgenders are content living full time as the 'opposite' gender without medical intervention.

crossdressers and transvestites are not the same thing. crossdressers dress because it feels right or they have a non-sexual urge, while transvestites dress because it gives them a sexual thrill.

i hope i've helped even a little.

To add on to what Drew said Transgender is a blanket term that covers transsexuals, crossdressers, transvestites, bi-genders, etc. and transsexual is a specific term meaning your internal gender is different from your physcial sex.

Transgenderist <I think> is a transsexual who does not plan to transition. Like a MtF who does not want SRS and will live as a man.

Hope I helped a little :)

ah thank mates thios has helped loads. I'm just really trying to figure out what catagories i fit into cas I'm super confused. people always tell me different things.

I'm pretty certain I'm bigendered and wish I could be a crossdresser 80% of time but as my family don't really know I have to just deal with my frustration at this for the time being.

I dunno if I'd class myself as transvestite or crossdresser. I'm sort of a sex addict (embarrassed face) so pretty much nearly all things give me a sexual thrill lol.

If transgendered is a blanket term for all the things eg bigendered and cd etc does this make me transgendered?!

cas I'm not androgenous. I'm more the two extremes. I like to very female sometimes or very male rather than neither. also if transgendered is to be content living the life of the oppsite gender then I'm not this cas I would only want to be the opposite gender sometimes. well alot of the time but not all the time.

ugh I'm really confused and I loath being confused as I'm such an impassionate person.

I'm still totally unsure of where to go atm or wat to do but you've helped educate me a bit guys. got any advice of what sections of the forum are for me or could help me?

Lemme see if I can clear some things up a bit.

Genderqueer is a blanket term, and like others have said, encompasses most of the transgendered community. It's basically a multi-purpose label for anyone who feels zir gender is outside the societal norm [usually cisgender].

Bigender is a term for a person who feels alternately masculine and feminine. It varies from person to person, as sometimes emotions will be triggers for a gender "switch" and other times the environment will trigger it instead.

A transgenderist is a person who lives as the opposite gender either full-time or more than part-time [in other words, more extensively than most crossdressers]. A transgenderist may get hormones and non-genital surgeries but usually will not want genital surgeries because zir original genitals are important to zir [for either mental or sexual reasons].

Autogynophilia is the attraction to the idea of oneself as female, or attraction to oneself having female genitalia. Autoandrophilia is the attraction to the idea of oneself as male [or having male genitalia]. I'm not sure what the equivalent is for attraction to oneself as intersex...

A transsexual person is a person whose genitalia do not match zir gender, and are generally roughly the opposite of the gender zie wishes to present as. Zie will usually actively try to pass as the gender zie feels zie is, and may get hormones and surgeries to pass more thoroughly in that gender. A transgender person is similar, but often does not has as stringent a goal as a transsexual person does. A transgender person may not want to go through all of the hormone regiments or surgeries that a transsexual person might. [However, the terms are very interchangeable. It's better to ask the person what zie wants to be referred to as.]

ah so I'm genderqueer and bigendered but not transgendered right?

There certainly is a greater and richer tapestry to gender in the world than i ever thought there was. It is comforting to know there are other people who are not secure with their gender either.

Its a shame there isn't a bigendered setting in personal profile or a forum section for bigenderes but I'm sure I'll find some suitable places.

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two .1 MG patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.
