[QUOTE=J. Jett;36444339]Steins;Gate, a visual novel. It has a well-made anime adaption as well. If you choose to play the visual novel, though, I recommend playing Chaos;Head first (just oh god, not the anime adaption) because there are so many references.[/QUOTE] Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate are similar? Also, Chaos;Head had an anime adaption? Chaos;Head was the first VN I really played.
[QUOTE=slayer20;36446954]Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate are similar? Also, Chaos;Head had an anime adaption? Chaos;Head was the first VN I really played.[/QUOTE] They aren't entirely similar, they're about different themes. However, they take place in the same universe. Steins;Gate taking place 1 year after the events of Chaos;Head. So there are a lot of references to those events in the S;G VN (not in the anime though). Also yeah, C;H had an anime adaption, but it didn't do any justice to the VN at all. Rushed, altered scenes, new scenes that weren't supposed to be there anyway, etc.
Does anyone know if there any pre-requisites for HRT referral in the UK? I've heard people talking about x years experience, etc.
[QUOTE=LukeyxD;36447705]Does anyone know if there any pre-requisites for HRT referral in the UK? I've heard people talking about x years experience, etc.[/QUOTE] It depends on who you see. A lot of people/places/doctors will ask you to have therapy and then the therapist will refer you when they feel fit. As far as I know, having "x number of years living full time as your "preferred" gender" is only necessary if you are looking for SRS. I think for hormones it's more about them checking to make sure this is what is best for you, and what will help you live full time etc. rather than expecting experience already. This is just from what I've heard, I can't tell you for sure I think it will depend on where you live and who you see in regards to exactly how quickly you will get a referral, hope this helped :)
[QUOTE=LukeyxD;36447705]Does anyone know if there any pre-requisites for HRT referral in the UK? I've heard people talking about x years experience, etc.[/QUOTE] It's really hit and miss. You have to put up with the NHS being utterly fail at times tho. It's been over a month now and I still haven't heard from her after being told that I 'will be contacted' when she find the correct people to refer me to. I want to go and complain but the reception staff are pretty hostile and waiting times are ridiculous.
[QUOTE=J. Jett;36442632][img]http://puu.sh/CQ65[/img][/QUOTE] That was my favourite part of the VN. Heartbreaking, really...
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in here who isn't actually Trans :v:
VN not similair to manga am I right? (: in anycase could anyone bother to link to the C;H VN since it's my fav anime (:
Haha! Fun in tf2! I have a spray set to [url]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7768964/2012-04-23%2003.11.49.jpg[/url] and I keep seeing lines in chat like [quote][REDACTED]: Nice spray w/ the woman[/quote] and stuff. Makes me giggle inside.
[img]http://cdn.sheknows.com/articles/2011/08/striped-sweater-dress.jpg[/img] I really want to buy this.
This is going to be an odd question... But is there someone here who happens to save pictures of people who post pictures of themselves? I ask because I don't save pictures of me after I take them and put them on my computer.
Heh. I just learned that the name I'm planning to take, Freyja, was also one of the names my father had considered if I had been born as a girl. :3

Whats up with all these gay threads? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Why reply?" - Starpluck))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=Paparazzi;36471604]Whats up with all these gay threads?[/QUOTE] Gayness is.
[QUOTE=Paparazzi;36471604]Whats up with all these gay threads?[/QUOTE] Whats wrong with trans, gays, and other stuffs?
[QUOTE=Paparazzi;36471604]Whats up with all these gay threads?[/QUOTE] because there's more than one sexuality in the world. stop that.
[U]Everything put on Facebook is official.[/U] I changed my name to nana, set my gender as visible and wrote: "I would appreciate if people started calling me by this name. Also if you already didn't know, I am trans. Feel free to ask me anything if you want to know something."
[QUOTE=Luafox;36473490]can you legally change your name to that? i dont know about there but here you can change your name to and name your kid a lot of unusual stuff[/QUOTE] Yeah I should be able to change my name to it. Nana is a Finnish female name (extremely rare though) but after I get GID diagnosed I can legally change my name to it. If they decline for some stupid reason I will have my legal name as Anna, but still use Nana as my name.
There is no laws in the UK with changing your name (AFAIK - though I dunno about changing a childs name), I could go and change my name to anything I wanted now if I wanted to
[QUOTE=redback3;36474371]There is no laws in the UK with changing your name (AFAIK - though I dunno about changing a childs name), I could go and change my name to anything I wanted now if I wanted to[/QUOTE] Children can change their names, but they need parents consent. There are not many laws for name changes in the UK, mainly the obvious ones like not changing your name to something like just punctuation so you can't change your name to "£$&*(%^&*" :V If you use Deedpoll, you can change your title as well, without needing to officially change your gender. So although my passport will still have an F on it, I plan to change my title to Mr instead of Miss when I get back from my holiday :) More info: [url]http://www.deedpoll.org.uk/[/url] Deedpoll isn't the only way to change your name, but it's pretty easy to do and quite cheap (I've added a middle name a few years ago through there)

Or if it's more your thing, you could be "Grand Master Brain Wizard"
[QUOTE=kaze4159;36451831]Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in here who isn't actually Trans :v:[/QUOTE] Nope! I was born a girl and like my body how it is (Which is lucky for me because oh how do I hate talking to therapists/strangers about things)
[QUOTE=kaze4159;36451831]Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in here who isn't actually Trans :v:[/QUOTE] I'm not, i just enjoy poking my head in here, LGBT communities are usually full of both interesting and genuine people.
Hello, I'm new here! I've been observing this thread for a while (I read all of it, in fact). Long introduction short, I am biologically male, but I am/really want to be a girl. I've been hiding all of that for ages on end, debating it out with myself and everything. There's been a ton of changes in my life recently which mainly include more independence and a lovely relationship. These have encouraged and motivated me to go and tell my mother about my feelings as I return home for summer holidays. When I told her, she immediately went on about sexuality and asked me super embarassing questions like had I had any sexual encounters and am I even through puberty yet (at 20, pfff). I tried to explain to her how I feel, how I hate myself and feel alien to my body and have stupid depressions and moodswings pretty frequently, but she just subverts the conversation into one about homosexuality instead. She even asked me "why can't you just be gay", and completely opposes transitioning :< She said she'd get me a psychologist or something and I'm just thinking she doesn't understand me at all and hope that whoever I will end up seeing actually listens. Made me snap back into a terrible self-loathing mood that even ended up making my boyfriend mad afterward. It was awful. That being said, at least she didn't disown me or something so I guess there is still some hope. Everyone in this thread seems to be very friendly and understanding. Seeing how a lot of people seem to be in similar boats, I figured signing up here would not be a bad idea, so hi!
[QUOTE=harpy;36481793]...She even asked me "why can't you just be gay", and completely opposes transitioning :<[/QUOTE] take your hand and apply it directly to her face whilst screaming "BITCH WHY DON'T CHU BE GAY" (please ignore me I am not helpful)

Does your boyfriend know about this, how did he react? If your mother gets you to a therapist they are there to help, so if you feel like they are ignoring the real issue feel free to demand another therapist for gender issues instead of sexuality. (also who the fuck needs an therapist for being gay, honestly)
