I have began taking hormones recently to transition into a woman and I am wondering if any ladies, or anyone, out there can help me with advice on makeup, clothing, mannerisms, or just anything to help me transition into a sexy and convincing woman, inside and out.  Sure could use support these days.  Either way, any advice is appreciated.  Thanks!

There is a lot of great information on the web and a lot of sisters who are more than willing to talk and give advice.  I am going through my own gender transition and have reached out to many resources.  I personally recommend finding a local support group.  Try looking in www.tgforum.com or the www.tsroadmap.com , both excellent sites with a lot of information.\n\nI wish you the best of luck with your journey and if you would ever like to chat please send me an e-mail or IM.\n\nHuggs and Kisses,\nJackie

Fun wow! Been there, doing that. Get some HRT that works for you. Exercise. Watch your diet. Your thyroid goes amuck. I chose not to take the synthroid and really watched my diet. Silly as it sounds, for the sleep problem, I took/take 2 benadryl before I hit the sack. Read and read! There are lots of good articles on the net addressing this. I was lucky, I didn't get hit till I was 55, but then I also had a baby in my forties.....so go figure. Good luck!!!!

My advice would be to really take a considerable amount of time to think this decision over and talk about it with with your family and friends, as well as mental health care professionals. Because once you convert to the opposite sex there's no coming back and the implications will obviously be huge. (I'm assuming, of course, that you have surgery and/or hormone therapy in mind.) If you're serious about a sex change operation and an entire lifestyle change, I would recommend making an appointment with your regular physician and asking for a starting point. Your doctor will probably refer you to a psychiatrist who'll need to evaluate you; I'm pretty sure it's required by law in most places. Good luck!

I always thought of myself as being a tomboy growing up and am even more now...... and I personally think that guys would prefere their woman with some back bone and not afraid to get alittle mud/or oil on her hands, rather than a prissy girl, who cares to much about how she looks.  Besides when you dress up really good for a guy now and then you sparkle like a dimond!  Be who you are, they will love you for you.

Ok maybe a 2nd opinion would be helpful & also lets start by saying the word penis...why would a woman want a penis thru a sex change? You've heard of tomboys, princesses, jocks etc..these are labels about gender identification, meaning what people mentally feel comfortable being. I've had it discribed to me as so: You go to the shoe store & the only thing you're able to buy & wear for the rest of your life is a 6" high heel that's a full size too small. You can wear it & manage to walk in it for a while, but soon you've got blisters & your ankles ache & even if you sit down to take the pressure off, you KNOW they're still on your feet. All you can think of is how comfortable your sneakers are.\nThat's what it feels like to people who believe they are in the wrong body. I imagine its much the same for men who want to be women.

well i cant really answer ur question since i'm a guy but i say go for it! there are alot of people out there who will come out and say things like oh, you need to find the woman within you or whatever but not everybody is satisfied with the body they're born with and they dont really understand ur feelings although they claim to. Just make sure u find a GOOD doctor. Make sure ur aware of the consequences and be sure that this is what u really want. sometimes u need to look good to feel good. all the best!

I work for the Body Shop, and we get a biweekly newsletter.  In it, there's tips and tricks for putting on makeup, new products, etc.  Every now and again, it will have articles dealing with women's issues.  I'm not sure that it can be purchased, but I'm sure a store associate would be willing to help you out.

Please, before you take any steps with changing any part of your body, get counseling from a professional.  \n\nThere will be alot of changes taking place within yourself and you need to know what you can and should expect.\n\nGood Luck with your decision.\n\nHave a lovely rest of the evening.

I think either your all being a bit hard on Chancer here or some of you are incredibly stupid.\n\nHe has asked a legitimate question and nobody has made an attempt to give an answer.\n\nWhy do some lesbians dress and attempt to look like a man?\n\nIs that such a difficult question to answer?\nThere is a vague attempt of something by a 'butch dyke' as she calls herself but no explanation.\nIt does happen, SOME lesbians do dress in suits and a tie, cut their hair really short.\n\nWhy would someone who finds women attractive want a partner that looks like a man?\n\nI don't think there was an intention to offend, maybe he could have worded the rest a little better.

Hormonal replactment therapy (HRT) should help. Consult your physician.

Have you ever tried to rearange your bedroom? Try new way's to put your makeup on. Try a new hairdo. Use the time to redo yourself. That away when tomorrow come's you'll look like a million buck's,and every body else will look the same old way. Try it. You might surprise yourself!!

Take a good look at yourself: If you were a woman would you find the person in the mirror attractive? What are some of the things you do that seem like the woman shy away from? If you work on those alone-that would be an improvement. Next is the obvious-- how is your hygiene? Do you shower, shave  and wear Cologne every day? Smelling clean, especially in the morning (you were supposed to have showered) is essential and have some cologne available for later too. Do not over do the cologne either-- you may attract the wrong gender! Also-- speaking of hygiene--or just speaking--brush you teeth and whiten them up!! A great smile is your first greeting card to anyone especially a woman. If you smoke--that may be a turn off right there. Non-smokers hate ashtray breaths!! Altoids work for a strong quick fix even if you do not smoke. Finally-- how is your wardrobe? Still wearing clothes from your garage or your grandparents? See what other people are wearing or at least up date a few shirts! Now you have a list to work on -- good luck with the women!!

It's a tough call...HRT vs. natural alternatives.  There is a lot of controversy surrounding HRT in terms of heart attack, stroke and cancer associated with taking hormones.  However women find that it takes care of their symptoms efficiently and quickly rather than the slower route through natural alternatives which, some women have felt little to no noticeable relief.  I market natural products to Naturopathic Doctors and have worked with them quite extensively.  My suggestion would be to speak with an ND (Naturopthaic Doctor), but at the same time work with your GP as well.  The key is to try and find a balance between nutrition and medicine that will work with your body to help get you through this stage of life with as little discomfort as possible, but most importantly, get you through without any serious side effects.  I am also in my forties, and still stuck with all the working parts, but am starting to experience the onset of that lovely phase, so I sympathize.  Please look at both alternatives and find a balance...protect yourself.  Good luck to you.
