Hello:

I am 45 years old and I finally found a name for my condition "GID". I've always known that I was different but I didn't know what to call it. At some point in my life I went out with women thinking I was a lesbian which I wasn't. Then I got into a relationship with a man but deep down inside I knew I couldn't be a wife. Not too long ago I went into a deep depression and thoughts of suicide so I decided to go to a gender therapyst, since I knew that the cause of my depression was my gender identity. Talking with my therapist he spoke about transmen so I started researching it. I bought like 4 books on the subject and it has been inspirational and a realization of who I am and what I need to do.

Anyway, I do not want to make this post too long, I am so glad I found a community that is understanding and is going through similar experiences as I have. Thanks so much for your support and I am looking forward in sharing my experiences with you.

Jose Antonio.... :D

Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll find lots of information and support here.

Just wondering...what books did you get? I'm a bit of a newb myself and am always looking for a good read.

Hi StrandedOutThere,

The books I got were the following:

Becoming a Visible Man by Jameson Greene

From the Inside Out: Radical Gender Transformation, FTM and Beyond

Transmen and FTMs: Identities, Bodies, Genders, and Sexualities

Both Sides Now: One Man's Journey Through Womanhood by Dhillon Kosla

The one I am reading at the moment is "Becoming a Visible Man" as I am a slow reader. :rolleyes:

Is an amazing book and very informative, in fact Jameson Greene is one of the pioneers of transmen if I am not mistaken. He transitioned at the age of 39.

I really like Jamison Green. He is to transmen what Andrea James is to transwomen. Even though I am from the opposite side of the fence, I enjoyed Becoming a visible man. I would also highly recommend The Testosterone Files by Max Wolf Valerio and True Selves by Mildred Brown.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."

      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance.

      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.

      I discovered her "Whipping Girl" when my egg first cracked.  It helped me understand some things.
