thread to ask all questions about 'Female to male'

Hello...I was just wondering if there are any females who have had a sex reassignment surgery to become male, or have thought about it? It seems we hear alot of male to female transgender, and I was wondering if there are any female to male transgender people?

 

yes there are some on here, but I guess i'll let them answer this thread if they wish too, if you explore this forum further though, you will find some f to m transexuals.
are you one yourself?

I haven't had any type of surgery, but I've been curious about this because I have never felt female, even though I was born one. I saw a female to male transgender on the Montel show, and it got me wondering how many people there are like this, especially since the male to female is what we usually see. And I'm so glad it seems I'm not the only one.

I can't speak for the people here but I know two F2M trans guys. Both have had breasts removed & have been on appropriate HRT but neither are going to have genital surgery. One is hoping for a hysterectomy which seems to becoming medically necessary even if he was his birth gender.

 

Is genital surgery possible in a F to M ??

 

yes but its more complicated, take a look at the information thread i have linked you to in a couple of posts up

I have now edited the thread title and stickyed it, in the hopes that more people will see it and answer the thread

 

Hey all,

I have a partner for about two years. The gender identity is, hymm well, it`s a bit confusing... so, I`ll keep the 'she' reference. Sometimes, she says that she is transexual (f to m) and feels uncomfortable in her body, at other times she calls herself a lesbian and prefers to associate mostly with lesbians. Dressing like a boy, at the same time she doesn`t have a problem wearing a bathing suit. Prefers watching movies on a lesbian thematic. Also at times making critical remarks about men in general... So, I was wondering - are there some kinda mixed types of sexual idenitities, or my partner is confused?
Thanks.

 

if you have a read of this forum, i think you'll find that peoples gender like their sexuality is rarley competely balck and white

I'm a pre-op FtM, but am currently living full time as male. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

I'm FTM and haven't gone on hormones or gotten any surgeries and don't really plan to. I live full-time as a guy though and have legally changed my name on all of my identifying documents.

 

do you mind me asking what the benefits are to to not going on hormones and having surgury, not saying for one moment that you are wrong not too, just interested

Personally, I don't have much of a desire to have any of the effects of hormones. If I had facial hair, I'd shave it off. My voice is deep enough already. I pass quite well as it is, etc. At this point, I feel like going on T would just be an act to satisfy others' expectations, in my case. As for surgery, it's expensive, it's largely ineffective. It's great for some people, but I've come to be comfortable with who I am- as a transman, not just as a man. I'm comfortable being a female-bodied guy, and want to stay that way.

 

its great to hear from someone who is really comfortable with who they are, I wish more people where

If you don't mind me asking Adam, what method do you use for binding? Cos if you plan on binding all your life it must be comfortable, right? The methods I use atm works well but eh..isn't recommended. And do you go swimming? How?

 

have I missed something?
I don't believe Adamness said anything about binding
S

 

I use the Underworks tri-top binder: http://www.underworks.com/products.html#983

It's decently comfortable, and I wear it all the time, except for sleeping. For swimming, I wear swim trunks and a black t-shirt over one of my spare binders, and have never had any problems with passing that way. I've found that it's usually a good idea to pack when swimming as well, since wet swim shorts can be a bit...clingy.

 

I'm a FtM, but I'm not planning on taking any T or getting a surgery. ... Well, I'm kind of considering T, but of course I'm not sure about it yet. As of now I live my life as I live it: how people wish to see me. People say I'm a boy, others say I'm a girl. It doesn't matter to me - I know that I'm a boy (very pretty boy ^.~) and that's all that matters.

And Adamness, I was going to ask the same question to you xD But neat, I think I'll give that a try! (seeing as how I have a rather large chest, it's hard to hide ~_~)

 

i'd like to say, i'm so happy for all you FTM guys to be so comfortable in yourselves!!
This is such a great little support group.

i wish you guys all the love in the world. seriously, the above posters all seem at total peace with themselves, which i admire so much.

I do have a question for you though (while im here!)... how does the wider community around you react to you when they find that you are transgendered? do you get many negative reactions from people close to you, and if so how do you react to it?


peace
