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

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷
