I was a bit giddy finding this site and making my first post. I did not in any way intend to sound like I was gloating about the availability of services in my country or province. These services are new here, and history has shown that different provinces provide and then retrack them as politics wills. I just hope to get my work done before they change their minds again.

Though some enlightened professionals are healping out our trans community, prejudice is still rife within our society. I have read many people's stories here at Laura's, and I am just grateful to the incredibly brave people who have come before me who have carved this path for those of us that follow.

For sure. Politics is such a dirty word. A small group of people deciding how all other people should live they lives, wth? I appreciate any one of them who realize they're position and how it effects everyone, who can be aware of the weight of their descisions. Just seems there's more of the self righteous politicians about than not. <_<

Anyways, I meant it, I'm happy to hear about your providence's policies on this issue, and I hope they remain steadfast. Let's also hope for some ripple effects. ^_^

Yup, I feel pretty much same as you, except sometimes I feel like I really just want to live as a male for the day. But generally, the choices and feelings are the same for me. Shots are not the way for me to go either (due to mental conditions and the stress of being up and down constantly). Low-dose is for me! Not sure I can afford it or if I could even go through with it... but it's a dream I'm still looking in to.

Growing up all of my friends talked behind my back arguing whether I was a lesbian or not. Nope! Just a gay guy in a girl's body. :3 (Well, androgynously gay guy.)

Hi all. (first post, woot!)

I'm an FTA too. I was thinking of it like that before I saw this post, because i like to think of making a real transition (i. e. buying boy's clothes but staying a girl? and keeping some of my female wardrobe, I guess. And maybe speaking deeper and such).

I'm planning to switch to an androgynous name and change my pronouns as well. So I guess I'm butting into our little club ^_^ so...hi!

Hi Hilary,

I am with you 100% I have always been very masculine and am often seen as male in day-to-day life ... I get called "Sir" a lot. I am used to this since this has happened regularly since I was about 10-11 (puberty) and before that I was very boyish. I am sometimes identified as transmale, mostly by trans people who think that I am closeted. I am very open but I do not wish to become a man. Perhaps I am a male who has declined the physical option to change. Perhaps I am simply a very strong woman.Gender .. I think that gedner roles are mostly a scoail construct and gender characteristics ... it is so hard to say if they are learned or innate.

I am androgyne ... my nature is masculine but emotionally, I have many (learned) female characteristics as well. I like living in a gender balanced way. I wear only men's clothes and very short hair ... I am sometimes described as a "Handsome Woman." LOL! ( I hope this will continue until I am old and gray!) I would love to look like the androgynous computer-animated "host" that we have on our page! WOW!! I have always been unusually strong physically ... I am a brave and capable person. I am very protective and fight for justice as a pacifist and political activist. Yet, I am also kind, generous, emotionally available and nurturing. I feel that these qualities are complimentary. I am analytical, yet very in touch with my feelings. I can be guarded and intimidating but I can also be very gentle and sensuous. I switch smoothly between roles, states of consciousness ... I describe this as being a lot like driving a smooth stick-shift in an old reliable truck. My internal life is gender-fluid but my exterior is consistently masculine and strong. I am a sensitive yet, very tough person.

I place a very high value on my personal health and I am not making changes to my body unless they are deemed medically necessary. T is alluring but I am not willing to take it ... When I was younger, I was much stronger than my body building friends who were on T. For me, it is not necessary. I feel that the risks of taking a synthetic hormone, outweigh the benefits. I would only consider T if it was needed to treat a serious medical condition. I feel the same way about surgery ... I would not change my body for body augmentation purposes only. A more masculine body ... a more muscle body and a male chest would be appealing to me but I do not need these changes. I am happy ... I live well and I am content. T offers no solutions for me. In fact, if I had a choice ... I would prefer to be TALLER over having more body hair or possibly LESS hair on my HEAD! T has its positives but lots of negatives.

I do not identify with my physical body ... it is where simply I live ... an amazing shell ... I care for my body and I am very into health and fitness but the body itself ... well.... it is like the truck ... just the exterior. I am not my body. I am Spirit ... and I have no gender.

It is so wonderful to hear of others like me!

Best,

- J

And so your transition will be real, there should never be any doubt of that. No matter how you identify, the path from what you're "supposed" to be to who you truly are is a trnasition. If it wasn't, there'd be no point to us even being here. Everyone transitions, even if they're not transgender, it's a natural part of growing, expanding and becoming yourself. Every individual has to go through that.

My two cents donated, I wish you the best of luck!

Sincerely.

>.< I hate this not being able to edit posts and stuff. . . when I forget something I have to double post and feel all stupid about it.

Juniper, your post requires of me more though than I am capable of tonight. I see you. I welcome you. I just can't give you a worth while reply as of now. I am looking forward to talking to you very much. ^_^

i'm jumping on this bandwagon with enthusiasm :)

FtA is probably as close as i will get to a concrete term for my gender. still not perfect, but i like to think of FtA standing for female transitioning (to) androgyne. or how about i go one step further and leave it at female transitioning. change is constant, i am a statement of this undeniable principle rather than a defined gender. the point of life is the journey, and i have enjoyed mine thoroughly thus far.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time on this site! I'm new here, too, but I'm really liking it so far.

I'm going through the same exact thing as you. I'm 20 years old but I've been having the same feelings as you since I was little and it's rough at times. But I get through it. I don't like my breasts, either, but I live with them. Don't get discouraged! Androgynous people exist! We're just somewhat rare and people don't understand us...Or maybe they don't WANT to understand us. Most people have the idea that a person has to be A or B. They don't get that a person can be A and B or they can be neither. Just know that you're not alone.

Once again, welcome, and here's to hoping that you make some awesome friends here! =D

      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!
    • KayC
      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!
    • missyjo
      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.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
