But I also recall reading that MTF is much more common. Most sources say that the numbers are about even. It's tough to tell though- FTMs often are more passable than MTFs, which means that there are probably a lot more going under the radar.
Adamness , Apr 7, Samhain , Apr 8, Adamness , Apr 8, Full transition, anyway? Anachronism , May 26, From what I read loooooong ago it is a case of taking the penis skin and making it the vagina, or was I heinously misinformed? RawrRawr , Jul 2, I need women hormone. Actually there was a brief period where people were actually trying to make the case that there were more FtMs than MtFs First of all, after transition FtMs tend to pass very well and wind up "invisible" so to speak.
With gender dysphoria, the discomfort with your male or female body can be so intense that it can interfere with your normal life, for instance at school or work or during social activities.
According to The Report of the U. One trans guy might see quick changes in one area and slower changes in other areas, while another might see just the opposite.
Taking testosterone will usually cause changes to the menstrual cycle, and after some time taking testosterone, many people find that their menstruation stops completely. They can make decisions accordingly.
Well I don't hate my body I don't have contempt for it I'm not repulsed by it And I don't dislike it that much. My body doesn't really feel foreign, it's my body, I don't feel like I'm in someone else's body.
I would prefer to have been born in a male body, but I accept the body I have. When I realized that I wasn't a "girl" like other girls were, probably around age 6, I don't recall actually hating my body, but just assumed at some point I would turn into a girl. It's when puberty hit and all my prayers went unanswered that I began hating my body. I could not stand to look at myself in the mirror. Some times I would just totally freak out at what I saw in the mirror, the changes.
I'd scream and yell and lock myself in my room. As for the girl I am now and becoming; I like pretty things, I like dressing attractively, I'm not crazy about make up and only use what I need to emphasize different features. I find the more feminized I become, the less I need to use props like make up, but I do love clothes. To me, they are a tool and a way to express a myriad of feelings and moods.
I like the freeedom of expression females have. I like taking care of myself, I like to pamper and adorn myself from time to time, but I really long for the morning when I can just roll out of bed throw on a t and pair of jeans or shorts and head out the door, no props or smoke and mirrors, just plain old every day girl, which is something I think a lot of genetic girls take for granted.
For me, that would be finally arriving. As for emotions and feelings, I've always been soft and in harmony with girls rather than boys, i always knew I just fit with other girls, being around boys and thought of as one was always stressful and strange to me. I just want to be as someone said somewhere, 'just another little girl fish, swimming along with all the other girl fishes'.
I have some modifications to make. I dont focus to much on what I wear but how I look to others binding doing its job etc.
I'm not mtf but i agree with what some have said going through second puberty and acting like how they think 'women act'. People will act they way the think is appropriate or appropriate for them to feel comfortable for them to pass or live. I hated my body after I realized it wasn't the same as the other male bodies I saw.
For a while I pathologically despised every aspect of it. I've sort of come to accept some parts of it but I still desperately want to become more outwardly masculine. I don't want to become a stereotyped man though either. I'm just gonna be me, but a more accurate looking me. Ok, I have experienced extreme disaffection with my gender, but the interesting part of this, is that this has only become alot more predominant in my mind recently.
Really only since I have gone full time as male, and am starting to feel comfortable socially, am I now starting to think what is making me still feel uncomfortable privately my body. But, in answer to your question about FtM's lusting over male things, yes I have experienced this unbelievably strongly even in early childhood. I love nice shoes and clothes. Shirts, ties, suits, jackets.
I love aftershaves, and having a nice male hair cut, and hopefully aventually nice facial hair when I start T. These things are extremely important to me. I pass extremely well as male, and since having my hair clipped I have never been mistaken for female that I know of. I'm very lucky, even my natuaral voice before T is deep enough that I don't have to worry about it.
But despite this, and knowing that I should have been born biologically male, I consider myself a rather feminine character. I should have been born biologically male, and I know that in my brain, and my heart I am male, and therefore I am extremely comfortable with this feminine edge to my character, and never try to hide or suppress it. I think that this is perhaps why generally why MtF's will "lust" after things such as clothes and shoes more than FtM's, because obviously a larger majority of women than men will have a more feminine personality, and a larger number of men will have a more masculine one.
But that is a generalisation. Just like gender has nothing to do with sexuality. I also believe that gender plays a very small role, if not none at all in character. Hi, I can't disagree more I do not have a fascination with wearing female clothes mine is the opposite. I just always felt a was a woman in my teens people called me exotic, I looked very much either or and no one could figure it out so they just figured I was female.
I cant say clothes fashion and nails attracted me. I just felt inside I was a woman But it was my gut I was soft spoken and fem and just felt natural the clothes did not make me tran into acting or moving or speaking more fem or acting more like a woman.
My fam always said my hips moved more than my sisters and I was without question very fem. I am new at this website. Thanx everyone!
I still hear people asking, and referring, vaguely to this very topic. In that light, I will say, as an MtF, how I feel. While I enjoy the access to nicer, more feminine clothing, make-up, etc I don't exactly lust for it.
In fact, the biggest things for me are that I hate that I smell like a guy, that I have body hair that takes an extensive nair job darn near every three days to get rid of, I ABHOR my facial hair, and the fact that I have a penis makes my stomach knot up to even think about. These things, and others, I have worked through over the years to the point I can tolerate existing and even managed to behave guy-like enough to pass as one in society from behavior, down to siring a child I used to get into things in excess MANY things just to put the things I hated about myself in the back of my mind.
I've always been extremely nurturing of children I WAS my daughter's mom. I'm very emotional and rarely hide it. It feels wrong of me to have to "man up". I'm a goth rocker chick I wear little makeup, and only on occasion; just accents that are comfortable. I could go on, but I think I set the picture well enough as to how I feel about the idea and what motivates me.
I found this post interesting. I too, really think this is more an individual thing, but maybe it does have a tendency for one direction over the other.
I'm not sure I entirely conform to the FtM mindest on this, however, as I care a lot about my image as a male; clothes, hair, even jewellery. Also, whilst there may be more 'female specific' things than 'male specific', I still think the reverse exists. Especially if you've grown up in a conservative family.
When I was little, I did tend to say more often that I simply 'wasn't a girl' rather than 'I'm a boy'. I think, though, this had something to do with being very 'realistic' at a young age; acknowledging that I didn't posess a male body and that no one would see me as a boy.
I instead, just dissociated myself from being female as much as possible. I think I've always been afraid to admit how much I've wanted to be male; I've grown up in an environment that made me feel like such things would be 'sick' and 'wrong' But I'm admitting to myself how I really feel and it's making a lot of things surface.
I long for being accepted as 'one of the boys'. Just being called 'young man' and being thought of, socially, and within my family as male, would please me beyond words. I've never really 'got' women though I respect them and feel so out of place. I feel like I'm stuck half-way over the fence right now. I see male things I very much want for myself. For example, I'd love to have a mens' suit and tie. I'd love to be able to cut my hair as masculinely as I want and actually like what I see in the mirror.
I'm harder on myself and hate to see a masculine female Quite the contrary. It's because I feel more like I should see a feminine male. I'd actually love to get an earring just in one ear. Which is an over-looked male-specific fashion And this may sound ironic, but I'd like to wear make-up as a guy. Just incase you wonder, as a girl I've never dressed femininely and I've never worn make-up.
I've never done 'girl things' with girls. I've always been boyish, so this isn't a matter of 'left-over girliness' Haven't really done much, yet, of course Also, I idealise my favourite band in the manner that may be more common in MtFs with female celebrities. I'm heavily influenced by their fashion and would love to emulate some of that.
Unfortunately, such attempts have probably, thus far, made me look like a masculine female rather than an androgynous young man.
I'm a fashion idiot, but I'm trying, and some things that are generally thought of as feminine do not interest me in the least. I want to get as close to the body and social treatment I felt I should have been born with access to, and I also really want to get out of the shadow of a life I live as a male, physically and socially.
I've seen about as much hatred of being male among MtFs as hatred of being female among FtMs. Some do and some don't in both groups in about equal proportion to the other.
