I have felt female since I was 7 but felt in a way trapped and since I guess December last year I decided to go through the process of researching etc making sure if I did go ahead that this was right. Last Sunday I made the decision to start and have been doing so slowly, starting with crossing dressing the complete thing will be some time down the track. I don't think I've felt happier in my entire life I feel like the natural me! and I've been finding out a lot and so far everyone who I have gone to for help and advice have been great . I thought well this is a resource I havn't used and I know there will be others like me or who know others, I'm wondering if theres anything that I should know, some advice, tips etc?
I want to congratulate you for being yourself! Sounds like you're happy and it's contagious It's funny cause when I was around 4 I wanted to dress like a little girl and I played with dolls, but strangely enough I have never missed it since or felt like I was in the wrong gender. I can't say I identify with men all that much, and often I'll be talking in a conversation and address men as "they"..but I kinda see myself as just me..that's all. Good luck
Heh, that's odd, I began to feel the same way (well, not necessarily "trapped"...) when I was 7. I recently (about a month or two ago) began to explore crossdressing as well; and I too feel very comfortable. One bit of advice I can give you is that you should check out some panty bikinis... Such a pleasant feeling against the skin... Nah, do whatever you want to explore; I still have many areas left myself.
I have huge respect for people that become themselves in this way. I've felt part female since I was about Seven and for some people (like me) crossdressing and having a laugh as a girl is enough. Obviously you are someone who needs to become yourself to the fullest and I wish you the best of luck... You Go Girl!!! xxxxxx
You have obvioulsy done the most important first steps. You have figured out who the spirit inside you is & have started letting that person become you. As for advice. There are plenty of things I could ramble on about but you may have already found many of the things I would have to say. You said that you are researching this. That is a good idea. One thing I have found & in fact have problems dealing with right now is that you have to be patient. Even the people who go under massive hormones & eventually get SRS have a transitioning stage where they are really between genders. I have been doing this with herbs & that is even slower. To be honest I am reconsidering getting the perscription HRT. I also had thought that I was going to be able to do this without the help of a therapist or other medical professional. A couple of weeks ago though I hit a wall & I am definitly going to seek a therapist who can help me sort out my feelings though. I have been using newsgroups & friends but that can only do so much. My best confidant even though she tries her best to give me sage advice & straightforward opinions hasn't had previous experience with a genderqueer on a personal level so she is dealing with things that she isn't familiar with. She has never steered me wrong but I feel that I am imposing on her too much. She sees me as a girlfriend (not romanticlly) & I like it that way. I don't want to loose that. Have you found http://www.transgender.org/ They are a pretty good site for links to other like minded sites. If you want, go ahead & drop me an E-Mail or PM me I have been traveling this road a little while there may be some things I can help with.
There's a French film that I highly recommend that you see: "Ma Vie en Rose" ("My Life in Pink"). It's the story of a 8-year-old boy who sees himself as a girl. It's out on DVD and VHS. Another film I recommend is the Oscar-winning "Boys Don't Cry: The Brandon Teena Story." Incidentally, August this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the sex-change operation of the world's first male-to-female transsexual, Christine Jorgensen. Hollywood made a film about her as well, "The Christine Jorgensen Story," back in the late '70s, but that film is long out of print. -- Skeeter
My Life In Pink (Ma Vie En Rose) is my favorite movie of all time ...that little boy teaches us that to be a girl you just have to believe you are one. Hormones or sex change do not validate it, unless you believe that feminity is found within breasts and a vagina. A male can be a girl!
Well folks, I've got a bit of egg on my face: I erred about this year being the 50th anniversary of Christine Jorgensen's historic sex-change operation. It turns out that I was off by three years. A Google search on Jorgensen and found -- to my embarassment -- that Jorgensen had her operation (actually a series of three surgeries) in 1952, not 1955. She had her operations in January 1952, some 15 months before I was born. Sorry for the error. -- Skeeter

i wouldn't worry about surgery yet, look for counselling and go to your doctor, this is not me saying you might change your mind, however if this is a journey you will be taking you will go through a huge emotional and psychological rollarcoaster, everyone that goes down this route does S
