Thank you so much; your posting has redefined every aspect of my life,
& I've now got tits!

I repressed my feminine feelings for many years. When I was young I read Christina Jougenson's biography and really identified with her. I later read Myra Breckinridge and enjoyed it's wit and her kinky attitude toward life. I wrote my feelings off and lived a conventional life for many years as a heterosexual male and spent a career in the military. About four years ago I found myself single for the first time in many years. I began chatting on line in a variety of transgender and crossdressing sites like www.crossdressers.com and www.urnotalone.com I felt less isolated and realized my feelings weren't abnormal. I began to develop my feminine persona and explore the world of transgenderism.

Initially, I thought I was a crossdresser. At first I "dressed" in clothing, lingerie, shoes and wigs and spent hours giving myself make overs. After about six months I ventured out for the first time with the encouragement of my friend Celeste who has been every supportive of me. Over time, self discovery and counseling I came to the realization that I am a transgender. I've been living full time as a woman for about six months and on HRT for nearly four months. It hasn't been easy but no where near as hard as I thought it would be. I live in a city with a good network of GLBT resources and have met many friends on line. Psychologically, emotionally and sexually I am very much a woman and the physical aspect is work in progress.


This is an exciting part of my life and I have no regrets about the decisions I have made regarding my gender.

I knew since I was born that I wanna be a girl. I was born this way. ^^

Such a good thread, as with others like it. So many members are so porn-hungry they forget the need for empathy and understanding towards those members who have had to meet and confront their own gender issues, and all those who are still coming to an acceptance of their sexuality who may not have been fortunate enough to have counselling / therapy support

Most educative and encouraging !

Oh, and by the way, in case I may have given a porn-negative impression, I am a great supporter of lust - nothing like it Very skirt-uplifting ! !

Luv to all

Myself personally I've always been attracted to feminine things. I've always wanted to be a around women and be part of that life style so I guess I could say since birth.

I've always wanted to be a woman but never got the chance to talk to anybody, so I was a bit late, at 18 started dressing up home alone and at 23 I went out dressed like a woman on the street for the very first time, what an experience!

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a girl and hated being a boy. The feelings intensified as years went by. Most things I did leaned feminine, often preferring to play with my sisters toys than my own, while though I did play with my own. I also enjoyed playing pretend, house and other imagination games and every time played a female role and hated being forced to be a boy in any play in either pretend/house etc or with toys. At one point during childhood I thought I was physically turning into a girl, why, I dunno. I spent frequent time day dreaming/desiring to get out of this life as a boy into my teens and started to try and express this by finding old clothes from my sister to try dressing as a girl in. I had told my mother on several occasions I either wanted to be a girl or that I thought I was turning into one. I had gained access to the internet in my mid to late teens and learned of the term crossdresser, while I never identified as a man with a sexual fetish, its the only explanation I had to my feelings. I had gone out, met a few people and met this one transsexual who had literally just begun transition, she was in her 50's but she told me alot of things I should look into and that when I discovered gender identity disorder, transsexualism and learned of the existence of transsexuals and found out that it was actually medically possible for a person like me to become what I've always wanted and believed I should have been. So at age 20 I informed my sister I would begin living as a woman and showed her all the information I had learned and from there began the process of informing everyone else, began living as a woman "full time" and because of my mother's oppression, moved out with two roommates who were also transgender, one was a transsexual, the other a hermaphrodite. I acquired internet hormones at age 21, got a doctor by age 23 and started official prescription hormones this year, having been on internet hormones for two years previous (about 2 1/2 years of HRT). I've been diagnosed by a hospital in Westchester County, NY as having GID and Transsexualism and then again by a gender therapy doctor in Schenectady also GID and my endocrinology diagnosis code is "Transsexualism".
