Fun fact, I'm nullgender. Not gonna physically alter my body though, except a historectemy or some similar shit one day.
You know google exists, right? But in any case, no-- gender is not what you biologically are. My brain does not like having a body with a defined sex is the best way I can put it.

What is Nullgender? You don't have sexual organs?
Yes, that's right. Nullgender people are born with absolutely no sexual organs at all. Apparently the condition is hereditary!

You fine
A common experience of a transperson might go somewhat like this (let's use a man for an example, and PLEASE NOTE: this is only one storybook example, every transperson is different), is that he feels left out and emasculated when all the men are picked for a team game and he's standing there with the women, getting picked towards the end. He must constantly endure the societal expectations and treatment of women now directed upon him, and naturally: he rejects this, as he is not a woman. He wants to wear the tux to his wedding, and he endures a torrent of 'she', 'her', 'sis', 'girl', and 'Lydia' every day of his life, feeling put down every time he hears it, and maybe even guilty that he isn't the girl everyone wants him to be.
He is forced to visit the women's restrooms every time he has to piss... an endlessly embarrassing act for him, and he may even wait until there's nobody inside to do so. As to the act itself, he feels shame and disgust as he wipes the vagina clear of any residue, feeling pathetic squatting just to piss. Yes, he definitely has penis envy... for almost every time he's in the mood he wants to fuck the other person, wants his cock sucked, and this is almost the only way he can 'get off'; an event he usually feels some level of self-disgust for. And once periods start? He broods, he bitches, he whines: he is angry. If he's religious, he might be cursing his god(s)... and maybe resenting his mother('s DNA). Maybe he'll commit suicide, he'll certainly think about it. And he utterly despises his breasts and everything about them, going so far as to bind them tightly and painfully to his chest. His lack of facial/body hair might annoy him, and his feminine frame irritates him sometimes. When he looks in a mirror, he winces in pain and bitterness.
One day, he meets someone whose transdar (think gaydar) goes off. They point him in the direction of a therapist who worked for them, and he starts on testosterone. Suddenly, everything is better. He feels more energetic, he witnesses his appearance change over time and becomes excited by it, he even burns off a great deal of fat that he'd built up in his former misery. He still isn't completely satisfied, but suicide isn't even close to the forefront of his mind anymore: everything is working out. He gains muscle mass, starts seeing a handsomer (if still slightly effeminate) man in the mirror. His shoulders broaden, and he starts getting body hair and facial hair, and this is a wonderful change for him.
Eventually, he starts to consistently 'pass' as a man. Getting sir'd for the first time makes all of his work feel worthwhile. The 'she's and 'her's and 'Lydia's become replaced with 'he's and 'his's and 'Max's, he can enter the mens mostly without fear of being 'clocked' (the opposite of passing), he is among the first picked for sports now (he works out), and he even meets a lovely man or woman (or whatever) and has a fulfilling relationship for the first time in his life: one where he's treated as the man of the house, where he is a father figure, and where nobody doubts in his manhood for even a second. Lives happily ever after.
Storybook, rarely goes so well.

'Genderqueer', more androgynous, and perhaps asexual?

It's too tldr. The results I found were too long and confusing.
Wow... so - are you bisexual? do you look androgynous? how do you prefer to be called? 'he' or 'she'?

Much better questions, by the way
I'm not bi sexual, although I am a tad bi-curious. I have no clue how androgynous i look but I do tend to dress not too feminine, and I do not care what people call me.
And thanks Lilly - I'm gonna need all the luck I can get with that one
ANOTHER EDIT: Oh, not asexual either, but more sporadically sexual, and "straight" since I'm biologically female and attracted to men

Bullfuckingshit.
If you really wanted this thread to be anonymous why the fuck did you mention anyone in the first place.
Stimbo had it bang on, the way you started this thread was a fucking joke.

I think I might like you if you stop all of the poeing Here's to the hoping, right?
Quote:First off, rather than asking vaguely. Why did you personally become trans? Since, as you said, you have to give up a lot to do it, so you must have a strong reason as to why. (I wanted this thread to be anonymous as to who I was talking about, but I guess the cat is out the bag now.)
You should know that your question doesn't make any sense I have always been a woman (and a girl), I mean... when I was four I entertained the notion that I was going to be some 20-year old German lady's wife someday.
But the question I think you're really asking (if I'm wrong, then ask more)... "when did I seriously recognize my womanhood?"
I was 13, it was my birthday, and I was lying next to my best friend after having just sucked him off. He asked me if I was gay, to which I did a full stop and considered silently for what felt like forever. Eventually came my soft and shy answer, "No... I think I'm a girl..."
I'd probably known it subconsciously forever (I have always played a female character in my imaginations, and when given the option of playing a female character in Pokemon Crystal I broke down and cried in the car(9). I felt left out when all of the girls in 4th grade 'went off to have tea' and requested I come with (sex ed, i was pretty oblivious), to which a girl named 'Anita' responded, "No, believe me, you really don't want to." Mean old nurse inviting people for tea and not meaning it >_<), but once I realized it consciously, I embraced my womanhood completely, mentally transitioning fully and immediately.
Then I sucked him off again.
Quote:Also; you said that some trans can like women too? omg. that is so confusing, I can't get my head around that...
There are transmen, there are transwomen, there are people who take hormones and maybe have surgeries who hang out with transpeople that are neither men nor women.
But none of that has to do with sexuality Myself, I am pansexual and polyamorous. I know lesbian transwomen, straight transwomen, gay transmen, straight transmen, and bisexuals from both sides of the transition.
Quote:And is the hormone replacement drugs healthy? Some times, I think I have an imbalance of female hormones, as I have a very feminine face- yet strong jaw line, very contrasting features.
Emotionally? Yes, very. If it's meant for you, anyway. Righting the hormones for a person can do wonders for them, and it's not only transpeople who can take advantage of it. Though we are a major usergroup of these drugs
