You guys are cute. I think I just died.
[QUOTE=LonelyTimeLord;37649438]I have a very bad history of wearing down the side of the heels of my shoes anyway, I don't want to wear them all the time, or I'll wear down the heel on one side really quickly xD I enjoy your arm cuddling... I'm not going to let you die of lack of shoulder either ;) *hugs*[/QUOTE] Well maybe you should learn to walk properly then! c:
[QUOTE=Chris220;37649513]Well maybe you should learn to walk properly then! c:[/QUOTE] It's not my fault! waaaaaaa (also surely If i learn to walk properly... I'll be more likely to wear those shoes more often, hense causing you to die of lack of shoulder etc etc... maybe you should be glad I walk funny xD)

[QUOTE=wuddlyspud;37648725]Legitimate question here, not trolling, just curious. Would any of you transgender folk/ladies go about and get SRS or are you comfortable with the genital you have at the moment? If you've already had SRS what was it like?[/QUOTE] I'm getting it, but not for a while. It's incredibly expensive. Also, most of the posters in this thread are just starting with transition. Actually, very few of us are even on hormones yet (thank god I've got mine).
I might but I'm scared in case I lost feeling down there or something went wrong.
[QUOTE=Liamhailhail2.0;37651086]I might but I'm scared in case I lost feeling down there or something went wrong.[/QUOTE] You might end up with extra teeth.
It would be nice to know the age of everyone in here somehow, when they began their transition and for how long. Edited, just noticed my flaw in that last sentence. I can be incompetent sometimes.
[QUOTE=Jawyen;37651433]It would be nice to know the age of everyone in here somehow, when they began their transition and how old they are now.[/QUOTE] I'm old and I don't want to be old :(
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;37651599]I'm old and I don't want to be old :([/QUOTE] Nobody is old enough for me :v:
19 and haven't started transitioning yet. Or maybe you could count starting to get people to use my preffered name instead of the name I was given at birth.
[QUOTE=Jawyen;37652051]Nobody is old enough for me :v:[/QUOTE] 19 and that's ancient nowadays.
[QUOTE=Liamhailhail2.0;37651086]I might but I'm scared in case I lost feeling down there or something went wrong.[/QUOTE] That's a complete myth. It doesn't happen. I'm 18, went full time just before I turned 16, and have been on estrogen for almost a month.
Lucky bastards.
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;37652131]19 and that's ancient nowadays.[/QUOTE] You're not that old. I just turned 24 last week. As for how far along I am, probably not very. I have a few online friends who refer to me as she and my preferred name but no one irl knows yet. A few people might suspect, one friend who saw me get banned here, another one I have friended on my alt account on Facebook which has my preferred name and is female, and while I doubt they do, my family (my mom, stepdad, and sister) could suspect it cause they know I wear women's clothing.

Why aren't you on hormones yet, if I may ask?
I didn't even know there was such a thing as hormones until after I joined FP. As for why I'm still not on them, I'm still working towards telling people. Plus I'm not sure if I can get them currently because I have no health insurance and no job at the moment.
You can hide the effects for a while. Informed consent clinics will mislead whoever is paying for the visit as to exactly what it's about if you want them to, and so will a Planned Parenthood clinic. Generic Spironolactone and Estradiol can be found for $4/script at Target and Wal-Mart.
[QUOTE=Onyx3173;37654211]I didn't even know there was such a thing as hormones until after I joined FP.[/QUOTE] This is so true in many cases, and I find it incredibly annoying that most does not actually get this kind of info as young kids unless A) They just happen to stumble upon it, which can be incredibly rare (depending on where you live). B) Unless you express your feelings to someone around you, that will also help you and contact someone for you, while being in the perception that the only option is to crossdress. I've had my feelings for as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until very recently that I actually received the proper information. It almost seems like the most usual way to get the first info is when someone within the topic is being discriminated somehow. And here in sweden, it doesn't feel like anything cross/trans related even exist. It makes me sad that it does actually seem to be this way, unless you live in a big city. It may be a difference there, I don't know..

But thanks to idiots like my father and my first stepfather I'd suppressed it thinking it was wrong of me to feel that way. I hadn't even heard the term transgender before I stumbled across this thread in the first place. I had heard the terms crossdresser and tranny but that's it. I did actually know of someone who lived in my old neighborhood who was in the process of preparing for SRT except even my immediately family's response to him only served to drive me away from it more at first. She was getting a sex change and was attracted to women and my family got the idea that she must be some freak because of it. Which is unfortunate because while I don't particularly care about sex or gender, I'm attracted to women.
The first time I heard of HRT was on a Law & Order: SVU episode, I think. Some trans kids were smuggling hormones underground to help people who couldn't get their hands on them. I may have heard about it some time earlier, though. I just know that my life had some purpose as soon as I heard about it, and I got my shit together. I absolutely hated myself before I knew about HRT. It doesn't help that the fucking media reduces every single struggle and bit of effort to " a sex change" that you can just get in a week.
I'm 22 and not on HRT yet, but have an appointment with a psychiatrist in October and one with another in December (So i have a fallback if the first one turns out to be bad), both have experience with transgender patients though. Most of my family and friends know and they are all accepting and supportive, except my dad, who i live with, but i'm currently working on moving out of this house/ town and into a big city because a) I'm just the fifth wheel on the wagon here (I live in his house together with his wife and her son who are more important to him) and b) The way i know this town, it'll turn into a witch hunt once the people here find out.

If you've already had SRS what was it like?[/QUOTE] There are a lot of other things I am more conscience about... like my height and my want to have a need to shave xD I've never considered SRS, but even if I did... it's incrediably expensive... for me it would require roughly 4 ops over the space of a year for the most common "complete" phalloplasty procedure and is roughly between $50,000 and $150,000. Combine that with the fact that the FTM SRS is so little perfected that the outcome is often not that desirable... that's not to say its not for everybody, I know some people have gone for it and are happy at the end, but it's not for me As for age, I'm 19 and I started my social transition just after christmas, and changed my name legally just a few weeks ago. I've been living full time since I came out to my mum at easter
Shave? This is what you should do: Grow a Glorious beard, like one of the FtM guys I know did! [img]http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8442/7824682060_e987e656c3.jpg[/img]
