not sure what to call what i want to be. who i am

[Guest AmyDeluca]

So right now im a Male CD. but ive always had this girl inside me. and ive done years of thinking about it. and i know what i wanna be. but dunno if its doable. let me just get down to it. i wanna go half way in the MTF transition. and living as a female in public. would it work without getting surgeory below the belt?(i would take estrogen, remove the adams apple, and possibly breast surgeory depending on how the estrogen takes). what would be the word for it? would it be mtf, intersex?

Amy, in my opinion, it doesn't matter what you call it. If it is a combination that will make you comfortable in your own skin, and bring you happiness and peace of mind, and allow you to express your gender in the way that fits you best, then that is all that matters.

What you have described is certainly doable. I've been full time for over two years, and have not had surgery. Lots of us prefer that approach. The only thing that becomes more difficult is wearing certain kinds of bathing suits and very tight pants,

Inter sexed is a particular medical condition in which both male and female sex organs are present in some form; such as non-descended testicles. That would not describe you, obviously.

Most people I've heard of who take that approach call themselves non-op MtF. Regardless of the label, it's definitely doable.

Shea is definitely right, non-op MTF
