Transexuals

[BGChuckLee]

Well if you don't get diagnosed with gender identity disorder by a qualified physician then you don't get gender reassignment surgery, it's that simple. Every case of dissociative identity disorder is treated as unique, and gender identity disorder should be approached in the same way. For the most part it is, but it also isn't. For instance, the validation of someone's gender dysphoria as their identity is at odds with the views on how to treat DID.

I understand that, I am just uncomfortable with calling it a "disorder", not because of the way doctors use the term, but because religious nuts will go "SEE SEE SEE, it is a mental illness".

Being born in the wrong body is about as much a "disorder" as being albino or left handed. I see nothing wrong about correcting something you might not like about your own body which is why "disorder" I am fine with as far as a medical/psychological term. But give a theist a word and they will turn it into a slur like ignorant bigots.

If you need to mutilate your genitals and fuck up with your body's chemistry to feel comfortable, you're doing something wrong. Transexuality is like a bad tattoo.

Omg, I have so many questions!

I think I might like you if you stop all of the poeing Here's to the hoping, right?

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.

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.

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

You say that you recognised you were more feminine from a young age, what was your childhood like? were your parents sexually strange too? And I'm guessing you lost your virginity at a young age.
