Just Some Explaining

This is an explanation as to me and what i want, for better lack of a word or phrase. And if it's in the wrong location, am sorry for that, still firs day here.

So for the past few years i'v fiddled with the idea of a sex change. Only recently have i actually began researching the topic and what is required to get a sex change. Everything is looking fine and dandy so far except one thing. I don't wish to be male or female. I wish to be both at the same time. And from what i'v read up so far, there is no operation to make someone with both a penis and a vagina. This greatly saddens me, seeing as i am neither male nor female entirely.

Yes society had classified me as male, but i like to wear skirts, blouses, panties, and other attire that women normally wear. I don't mind having a penis, in fact i kind of enjoy it. But i would also like to have a vagina as well. Since a few yrs ago, i'v wondered what it's like for a women during sex. What it feels like. And so this pondering grew into a want. Yet as i stated above, there is no operation that will allow me to have both.

I'd be so much more open to the idea of getting a sex change to female, but it's permanent, and I 'd like to be able to have access to both sexual functions when i want to.

And while doing research on the topic i ran across an online COGIATI test. Not one that can be actually determined and accepted for sex change, but more of a test to get your bearing. I took it and got a 65. Which is Anrogyne.

What that means is physiologically and emotionally i'm split in the middle of the two genders. Which is awesome except the physical aspect doesn't match.

To be quite honest, it's lead me a depression. Not because i can't have both simultaneously, but because i can't be complete, for a lack of a better word.

I have a friend who wishes to get a sex change and i wish her the best of luck with that dream. But unlike her i am lost and confused and just....i feel so isolated. Like i'm a lone human on an alien planet. I don't know what to do, i don't know where to go. I'm so scared, and i don't want to be. I just want to be me, but it isn't possible currently. I don't want to wait any longer to be who i am.

Clockwork I don't know if you are seeing a GT but this sounds like a question maybe someone more experienced can help you through. I wish I had an easy answer like that is possible but I have never heard of that as an option. I hope someone else feels the same way as you and can give you some advice on how they are dealing with this question.

We all start out at the same place as you are right now. It will come to you over time. I suggest you just become a sponge and read as much as possible her on the site. That is how I learned most of what I know. If you have any questions feel free to ask anytime.

There are definitely porno... *ahem*, artistic renderings of what that'd look like. But, alas, it's not in high demand, and it's never been done as far as I know. I don't even know how it'd be practical because the surgically-constructed neo-vagina is basically the penis inside-out. Where would all the material come from?

Let's put that aside for now. Do you want to be more physically female in any other ways? Breasts? Curves? Softer skin? You can achieve those hormone replacement therapy, without surgery.

To put it simply, physically i wish to be 50/50, the same as my mentality and emotions. I've yet to really decide on curves and what not, but breasts don't sound bad. I wouldn't mind being put on hormones, but my current location is probably not the best place to start any of the process. ( I live with my parents) An I'm not sure how they would take it if I started to grow breasts and everything else. I wouldn't mind telling my parents about any of this if it weren't for that fact that until recently they had issues with homosexuals. It took my 2 best friends who are currently engaged, to help them shift on that topic. The reason they shifted is because they saw that they were helping me mentally and they wished the best for me. But the whole becoming half women might not go over so well. In fact, dad might kick me out, and then that creates a couple of issues.

1. Collage is a 15-30 min drive down the street from my house, literally. And even though my engaged have no problem with me living there their both in collage, and they wouldn't be able to drive me out to mine for classes.

2. No job. Self-explanatory

3. My family disowning me....i can stand society rejecting me, but my family? I'm not so sure. I mean my friends basicall are my family, but my actual family disowning me? I'm not sure how I'd react to it.

So for he time being, I think I'll keep it a private matter. For now.

We all do what we must, ie what's right for the individual. I wish you luck in your journeys, where ever you take yourself.

Can't say I'm in the same boat. Never really had the masculine/feminine conflict physically, so I dunno what I could offer you.

      Well, here's the big questions:  What does it mean to be masculine?  What does it mean to be a woman?    I've been around a lot of rule-bending in those areas.  There's all sorts of "traditional" views about what men and women do.  Men work on mechanical things, defend/protect, earn a living, play rough sports, etc.  Women cook and clean, are gentle and nurturing, value aesthetics over function, etc.   Yet, my very "masculine" industrial-manager husband cooks just as well as any Betty Crocker wannabe, and tells the bedtime stories that are most in-demand by the kids.  My GF, who is surely "ALL Girl" is a highly skilled mechanic, a street racer, was busily laying concrete while 6 months pregnant, and practices kenjutsu (Japanese sword fighting skills).  And me?  I'm AFAB but I'm infertile and I feel like I should have had a male body...yet I possess very little in the way of "manly" skills or desire to acquire them.  I'm in my boy form these days, but pretty much useless for accomplishing "boy stuff."     I think my family blew those definitions out of the water.  Yet, somehow our family structure is also religiously patriarchal....and happily so!  It'll bend your brain to try to figure that one out.    I'd say its just important to be you, do what you do best, and stick your tongue out at anybody who doesn't like it.

      Welcome to the board gizgizgizzie! I sure can understand what dysphoria feels like. I found it stayed in my head during nearly all waking hours. Although, sometimes held in a little deeper. But it was triggered easily. I hope you can find that place you feel comfortable with yourself. This is a good place to find help as you traverse your journey.   Jennifer

      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.

      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 ).
