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

      Not all evangelicals condemn people for being trans.  Some evangelicals are even trans.   He can pray for you all he wants, that is fine.  I will personally take all the prayer I can get.   It sounds like he has been reading or listening to John McArthur or the SBC.  Not much you can do. Pray for him.

      It'll come in waves with hormones. I have noticed that when I apply a fresh patch and the next day comes I feel euphoric and towards the end I feel really bad and dysphoria kicks in. I still feel body dysmorphia of what I have and can't wait till SRS

      One month here. Huh.

      "entries from “citizens who have changed their gender” will not be considered"   Considering that trans people don't "change their gender" but rather may or may not transition to some extent to affirm their gender, this rule seems superfluous.

      They make supplements for hair growth I have been using one for four months and it is now at 6" long when I had nothing before. Although I take more than the pills. I take growth spray, oil, and a supplement that is added to a drink. My hair is very healthy. Unfortunately it's very curly so it'll take longer to grow

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.
