So confused...


Guest

Recommended Posts

Women are so hot

BUT

so are boys...

I just feel natural as a girl...

Im on test, but had the doctor lower it so I stop having body hair and man muscles...

I dont know whether to go forward as a guy or a girl.

As a guy I get alot of pretty girls, and get alot of hot guys... But I dont know what I am...

I do hope you are discussing your feelings with a therapist dear. Confusion can often be very strong to start. Be patient and get professional help as well. You'll make it with time. "Getting" someone isn't as important as living happily as who you are. Gender and sexual preference are different. Both related yes but also different . You can be male and love males or the other way around. Who you are is quite different.

Hugs,

Charlize

I see a shrink for anxiety, the place I go just happens to be big into LGBT health care, so yes I just have to get the nerve up to tell them. A nerve I wouldn't have if I had not discovered this site. Thanks :D

I like to look at myself in drag for some reason. Its like looking at a stranger in the mirror.

The fear is only tackled one small step at a time. your beginning those steps. try to relax as you find yourself. Hard but acceptance is the best lesson any of us can learn. That includes accepting the fear.

Whats a strange way I get my confidence up is I paint my toes nails pink and shave all my body hair. I like to think that under my paints and shoes I am in a little bit of drag all the time.

What I didn't expect was this; I have a leg/feet fetish for girls but only girls, and I have girly legs and soft and small feet with high arches so for some reason I like looking at my legs and feet. This whole thing is full of surprises.

Lexi, your confusion seems pretty profound, so yes, seeing a gender therapist is very important at this point. Such confusion is fairly common, and its something you need to resolve before you can know which path to take going forward; male or female or something in between. Perhaps a look see at the Androgyne Forum would give you more clues as to which way is the right way.

I experience very similar confusion. While my male identity is heterosexual, my female side is drawn to men and other CDs. It has kept my female impulses stuck in neutral because all the men that appear to be interested in CDs are looking for quick hook-ups. I'm not a prude by any means, but I'm also kind of a "virgin" (on the female side of the coin), so I'm not trying to rush into a sexual encounter that won't feel right and potentially ruin future experiences.

Susie and Lexi ~ I feel just like you girls. As a man I'm not interested in other men. When I dress I feel I can go for both men and women. I do keep my feminine urges in check but who knows, maybe someday I'll meet the right guy.

Hugs, Wanda

When I was young about 9 or ten, I started wearing my Mom's bra's girdle's, stocking, etc, I was confused, why did I like women's cloth's and to dress up in them. As I got a little older, I realized, I like the feel of all that softness, silkyness,m at the age of 19, I joined the Army, and for five years didn't dress up. After I came out,m I tried not to do it, but I't didn't work, all through my adult years, I did it. I had three daughter's and hid it from them , three wive's who all predeceased me , I hit it from them (I think). Anyway, it took me a long time to realize that the reason I was this way, was GOD wanted me this way. Now some may say that's a cop out, and maybe it is, but that's the way I feel, and I LOVE IT, and YOU CAN'T HELP HOW YOU FEEL, THANKS FOR LISTENING,.

stay away from quick hook-up's, if you want to find someone, make sure you check them out thoroughly, to MANY OF US HAVE BEEN RAPED, MURDERED, ETC. for SHARING and BEING HONEST

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.
