I've recently started to get more into crossplay/crossdressing and it feels so nice being called pretty and cute from your family and friends
my sister got me for christmas:
3 necklaces
choker
bootay shorts
3 sweaters which expose my shoulders
and spent some time with me giving some make-up tips.
i also got a large sum of money from my father as a gift.
(all this stuff only arrived recently cause. mail)
im gonna go shopping and go from a cute-ass bitch to a cute fuckin bitch. hell ya
So I thought about something a few days ago. Sorta gross so gonna spoiler it in case
I've known this for a while but I was born with a condition where, effectively, I had ovarian tissue in place of testicular tissue. (i.e. no testicles but outwardly mostly-male-looking anatomy). My parents decided to raise me as a male and I received medication to address the lack of testosterone production starting in puberty so I ended up appearing pretty male. I knew I was going to be infertile from about the age of twelve and this has never really bothered me since I fuckin' hate kids anyway.
This is a bit interesting. Now I can't help but feel that deciding to raise me this way a mistake, although I can see why that was a choice they made, but even though the tissue is effectively inert (as in it is living but is incapable of producing female hormones) it makes me wonder if perhaps some of the reasoning for me wishing to transition was because of the fact I was born with this.
This hasn't really changed my thoughts on identity and I still identify as a woman and have done openly for about a year and a half, maybe a little more at this point, but the more I think about it the more it makes me wonder. I dunno if anyone else has this experience, but from what I have seen most people with this condition either identify as intersex with a small amount identifying as male so I seem to be in the minority there.
Weird stuff.
i got purple nail polish, some socks, and some jeans. still more stuff to go but i look fucking incredible in purple nail polish.
i don't post much to this forum, but i do lurk a lot. i feel like i need to open up and post here more often, so i feel like sharing something with anyone; i finally got on HRT this month!
it's been a pretty fucking whacky ride, my friend bought me plane tickets so i could move out of the hellscape i lived in to his place where i can get back on my feet and be who i want to be. my old city had no real oppurtunities for transgendered folk, and after nearly a decade of trying to get on HRT, i finally got the meds after having been here only for a couple of months. so excited for womanhood. :>
in other words; after 9 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait.
mmmmmmm i like cock tributes
That's great! I hope its a relatively smooth ride for you from here on out, just getting the prescription can be the hardest part from what I hear.
man i wish i wasnt dead inside
Oh yeah I'm not blaming them for the choice they made I dunno what I would have done in that regard, but I dunno it kinda makes me wonder about 'what ifs' y'know.
I've posted here a couple times but honestly I'm not the most active facepunch user.
I've been working hard on getting stuff sorted with the GICs and shit, but I've hit a sort of impasse. In summer I had my second appointment, a year after the first. I had my bloods ran, everything was looking good, hormones were basically in my grasp. And then they realised I'm in a different region of the UK for uni and therefore out of my original GICs juristiction. I'm trying to get stuff sorted, but the system in Wales is fucked and the London GIC don't want to deal with it because while it's their issue, there's nothing in it for them when the system changes again in a couple months.
I have permission from the original GIC to have hormones prescribed, especially given my entire assessment is complete, but docs hate the idea of bridging prescriptions anyways and essentially it looks like I'm not gonna get the stuff I need for a while. Thought of trying to DIY it, but T is a controlled substance which means unlike Spiro and Estrogen, you can't just get it off the Internet.
Any ideas what can be done?
got lotion, facial cleanser, some teeth whitening strips, and some nice shampoo and conditioner. i wanna try to bring back the volume my hair used to have when i was younger. need to return the jeans tho, theyre a bit too big cause im a fucking idiot dumbass bimbo.
still tho. cuteness infinite
Since coming out i've more than doubled my wardrobe with women's clothes and it's so nice. They fit a lot better on me too than men's clothes.
I also got a couple bras! Progress!
Yeah, I have a letter from the doc at the NRGDS that says everything is fine for hormones, although I should be cautious of an iron and vit D deficiency, but that otherwise I'm ok to take them and should be fine if I take vit supplements and keep an eye on it. Gonna see a different doc at the surgery here and see if they'll let me, but otherwise I'm a bit screwed being honest
If the paperwork says you are good to go and they should prescribe what you need, and they are hesitant (because they think they have better things to do) then just be insistent. Very insistent. A doctor would rather generally just do a bit of extra work than have to deal with a patient who won't accept their half-assed excuses from them.
Thanks for the help. I tried pushing last time but since the letters weren't officially on the system, everyone was hesitant. I made sure they had everything sent to them, so now it should just be a case of putting my foot down I guess. I'm nervous as hell about it, but God knows I need this shit sorted.
Does anyone else going MtF have massive increased appetite?
I have been on estrogen and finasteride for almost a year and recently started on spironolactone after my blood pressure got to a healthy level and I just constantly want to eat.
Is there a new invite link to the discord? The one in the OP didn't work for me.

I'm going to be speaking to this person at 10 AM for a 15 minute trial session.

And I just quit smoking weed. Wish me luck with that too.
Hello friends, I hope this isn't a rude question but I'm just a bit confused about some terminology and I thought this might be the best place
When you say trans man it means you're born female but your identity is male, and vice versa, right?
Yup. Transman is someone who's identity is male but was born with female characteristics and transwoman is someone who's identity is female but was born with female characteristics.
Just be careful in the context you use those words; some people don't like being referred to as trans-anything and will simply want to be referred to as a 'man' or 'woman' or other identity while others don't mind the trans- label, it varies on the person.
Thank you!
The main reason I asked was because I had encountered the terms a lot and thought it would be best to ask
No worries; most people don't mind questions at all if they are asked from a genuine place.
A lot of people are nervous of making some kind of faux-pas or something around transgender people and it's in everyone's best interests to educate really.
While we are asking questions--and thank you for your willingness Kotov--I'm curious to know the opinions of anyone here about the terms "male" and "female."
From what I understand of biology and sex characteristics, human bodies seem to trend towards a few archetypes, but nature is never so clear-cut as traditional science and medicine seem to wish they were. So I don't like to use the words "male" and "female," as to me it looks like we're trying to adhere to a line that nature refuses to draw, and as a result excluding a lot of people.
I try to say "man" or "woman" instead because in English at least, they're less ~medical~, and where I'm from, they're more closely aligned with gender identity than physical characteristics. I hope that makes sense.
I'd love to hear other willing opinions here about terms!
This is what I put on discord
"aaaaaaaa I had the meeting and Dr. Crystal Beal was super nice. If my dad actually supports me through this then my life is about to get amazing??? Because if I keep meeting with them, then supposedly the turnaround time to being able to start hormones is less than a month. Not months or years, but weeks. And if I am to ever move out of Washington state they'll make sure I have at least a 3 month supply before leaving. This is too good to be true???"
I'll let you all know how it goes. But if it goes well, for anyone in the state of Washington Crystal Beal is amazing!
That's an interesting way to think about it. Personally I'm okay with "male," "female," "man" and "woman" being totally unexplainable but unanimously understood terms in a social context. I was born and raised *male*, as a *boy*, and becoming a *female woman* is a much better fit for me. Of course, I can't precisely or definitively describe or explain what being a man or woman, or male and female, actually IS. But we all understand what those words mean, and I'm happy to call that good enough.
Sorry for the wall of text, I'd be really grateful if somebody shared their experiences if they're similar to mine.
So I have a feeling I'm trans.
I've been masturbating to feminization stories/comics/captions for at least a decade now - and I've had a relationship with a girl. It's been almost 7 years now, but I remember being sexually attracted to her, and being in love, that grew into just "love". It didn't work out though.
So for the longest time I thought I've had gender-related conflicts, but it wasn't serious enough to consider transitioning, because it's mostly sexual, and because I'm "comfortable in my own body", and I've grown to be comfortable with who I am in the last 2-3 years: I'm not super masculine, not sporty, but I thought "those are outdated gender stereotypes, I should stop trying to conform to them".
I thought it was mostly sexual because I repressed certain memories that would make it obvious it's not purely sexual (mentioned further on in the post), and because I started jerking off to erotic pictures of women on a regular basis 5-6 years ago - that's "straight" right? What I missed, was the fact that I never really watched porn where a man has sex with a woman, it was always either feminization-related stuff, or something focusing on women, like striptease without sex - this kind of erotica is really easy to self-insert yourself into
Then I watched a ContraPoints video, and started realizing that the porn aspect started when I was a teenager, but I've had daydreams, fantasies about becoming a girl for as long as I can remember. I didn't know what I felt, but by the time I became a teenager and had access to the Internet, I knew it turned me on, so it turned into a fetish. I think the first time I remember cumming was when I was about 12-13, and I was in my bed, falling asleep, but also fantasizing about a feminization scenario, that was gentle, loving, caring (not usual stuff you find online).
I remember being 6-8, reading an Oz book, and there was a boy character that turned out to be a girl - I don't remember my reaction to it, but since it's literally the only thing I remember from those books, well, you know, that says something about me.
I remember being 8-9 and referring to myself with feminine pronouns on accident when talking with my parents - I don't know how that happened, but it's possible I was daydreaming about being a girl, and I couldn't keep up appearances.
I remember spending a week at mom's friends house when I was 12-13, and I was sleeping in a room that belonged to that friend's daughter, so it had shitty journals like Cosmo and stuff - that kind of put me in the mood, I was fantasizing about my mom "knowing" and basically going "do you want to do this, do you want to transition?"
For the past year, I've been mostly jerking off to vanilla "girly" pictures - cute dresses, skirts, blouses - so it's fetishistic, but it's also kind of, not? I don't know.
One time I got high on hash, for basically the first time in my life (tried before, but either had a bad trip, or no noticeable effects), and while searching for "girly" stuff online, I stumbled onto a FaceApp picture of myself, but as a female, and I've seen the picture before, I looked cute - but when I was high, it turned me on like crazy.
I never crossdressed by myself, only 1 time in a theatrical situation, and the makeup aspect was very appealing to me. I live with my parents, so I didn't have much of a chance - but if the pull was stronger, I definitely would. I think I never did it because I was afraid it'd lead me down a rabbit hole.
I live in a country that's very LGBTQ+ unfriendly, only really have one acquaintance/friend that I can talk to about it, and I'm not really sure what I can do at this point?
There are a lot of people who've had similar experiences, I've seen people ask questions on reddit - and some commenter basically said "don't think about what this might mean in regards to your current life, try putting yourself in a feminine state of mind, maybe crossdress, maybe try acting femme - and just chill, do what you do, see what you feel like". I'm thinking of doing it once I move out, but even this is logistically hard to pull off - I don't live in a country where I'd be able to walk into a store and buy something feminine for myself.
If you're near Stockholm you can contact Karolinska Anova and just go to them and get help identifying yourself. There's no pressure to fit any kind of criteria anymore, and their waiting times have gone down considerably. They specifically focus on trying to help you find what's right for you, even if it's just that none of it applies to you.
Nah, it's a VPN
