Genderqueer Transitions

More and more it seems as if what some of us yearn for is what others struggle to rid themselves of. I would give anything for breasts and hips!! :banghead:

It`s ever the same. Life is just a bowl of paradoxes :wacko:

i wonder if the therapists could accept a person wanting the body of one but not presenting wholey in that role. in the uk it seems that they have a set perception of how you should be. if a cis woman can present as a man why can a man not present as say andro but yet have srs to correct the body disforia. some countries now do not demand srs to get female status so it does seem that the criteria is how you present not how you feel. eventually the system will have to adjust to acept the spectrum of gender dysforia. for me i crave my female body but at 6"2 with large hands and male facial features im stuck with facing trying to badly pass as a woman as the psych expect. what i want is the hrt to see how femanine i can look and that i know will take time . i aim to get people questioning if im a lesbian or a transman whoes not had surgery and going back to the female side if that makes sense.

I have friends who are convinced that my inabillity to get a doctor to prescribe hormones has little to do with insurance limits and more to do with my status as an androgyne.

Face it, it starts out with people not able to understand and only gets worse the more you try to explain it.

Hope you get someone on your side Julie Anne!

I just want top surgery. I don't have sex, and I'm fine using prosthesis if I ever do. I already have a very deep voice and facial hair so that's not an issue for me.

I want a family one day and I'm not optimistic about being capable of meeting the requirements for adoption or affording IVF.

I would first like to say I fully support any decision people make on what kind of transition they want to make. I'm more looking for answers than making any judgements.

Now maybe I'm confused about Androdynes but doesn't that mean you are somewhere in between? I'm not sure why Andro's would be talking about transitioning. The Only thing I can figure is everyone has there own idea of where in the middle they want to be. But if you are transitioning aren't you MtF/FtM? This is confusing.

For myself I can't see transition in my future because I'm not 100% woman on the inside. Yes I feel mostly woman and I really do wish I was born a woman but I wasn't. Maybe if I could say I was 100% woman on the inside I would make some changes to myself but then wouldn't I be MtF? Having said that if I was given the choice to simply swap bodies with a woman and have a 30% male brain I would do it. I just can't do srs because trying to pass seems like such an issue and there's no guaranty everything will work down there. Also the fact that I do like women is a big factor.

I'm still trying to figure things out for myself a bit. Do I sound like an Androdyne or am I MtF? Can people transition still be Andro?

Well, my ideal me, if I was young enough and had the resources is best described by a word that I've been scolded for using. (Hint: it rhymes with 'hemale.' That would give me breasts, butt & hips and I would not only have the outdoor plumbing but be able to still draw, penis & fire!

I still sport facial hair but if I fully transitioned as mentioned above, I would go with a sort of Salvador Dali moustache.

This would be, in my estimation, a full blown Andro and not an MTF. Breasts notwithstanding, no M.T.F. is sporting a penis.

As it stands now, I would give anything to be on H.R.T., but would not have the money or probably the time left on Earth to do the job as I would have had I Come Out say forty years ago.

With love & Misty Watercolor Memories!

Hi all. I am 29 y/o trans andro person. I spent ten years on hormones started ERT when I was 17. I lived 'full time' for most of those ten years. Now at 29 for the past 3 to 4 years Ive been off hormones and shaved my head. (My hair was past the middle of my back... super cute:) I don't feel I am living as a 'man' again but I do feel different. I sobered up (four years clean in March) and in that process I found that I am both sexes and both genders ALL the time. Its really confusing but I had SRS planned and plain tickets and 3 weeks before I realized this was not something I could do to myself to feel real. I feel real allowing myself to go in and out off transition at any point of the day. So far the biggest thing I wanna do is not hate myself if I feel more mannish then my female self and allow the process (whatever that is) to happen naturally.

All I can say to that is: "Wow!"

I know that feeling of thinking that by ridding yourself of the male side you'd be missing just as much of yourself as when you denied your inner girlie.

What a moment it would have been had you arrived at this realization aboard the plane.

Anyway, welcome to both parts of you.

With love,

Cissy

well ill keep this short but after seeing a new shrink i am closer to trying antiandrogens. i managed to explain that shyness had always stopped me explaining things and given me mood swings along with depression and he was great. i explained i was so worried about passing as female as it seemed the gid clinics want you to be to get on the hrt ect that it was hopeless. he was very straight forward and said how you present as a female is your choice not theirs,if you want to be a butch looking woman then as long as you can cope with that then its your choice as long as its as a woman. he is starting me on anti anxiety meds first to see if that helps. if i still feel like trying anti androgen's to then see if the feelings stay the same when the testosterone is dropped then he will ok it.

I'm a biological male. I feel like a female in a male's body, but don't want to change how God made me. So I decided to be Androgynous... best of both worlds.

My goal is to look like a girl, without boobs. Not quite sure how I'm going to achieve this. I'm on Spironolactone, Finasteride and Tamoxifen now. I want to add an estrogen, but don't want the boobs that go with it. I'm wondering if Tamoxifen would counteract the estrogen, only on the breast tissue.

I'm hoping the regimen will help regrow my hair where it's thinned. I'm getting laser hair removal on at least my face. I'd eventually like to get full body done as well.

      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🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
