Whats the best way in going about in becoming a transexual?

If you feel that you are really a girl inside and you happen to inhabit a male body, you already are transsexual- you're born this way and later in life you figure out what is wrong.\n\nFirst thing- if you are serious about the whole change AND you are young enough, I would suggest a testosterone blocker regimen such as Spironolactone, 200 mg/per day, to stop the effects of masculinization. You might need more than this, like say, 400 mg/day to really block the effects of testosterone.\n\nTHEN, go see a counselor who can help you with this- they can help you determine if you want to go through this, and recommend a psychiatrist or physician to prescribe hormones.\n\nAlso, are your parents OK with this? You would need their support and financing to do this if you are still living at home.\n\nThat's all I can offer at this time- email me @ (mageapprentice@yahoo.com) and I might be able to help you further.\n\nBest wishes!

I am saying that if you are certain without a doubt then you should go ahead. I'm not saying it's going to be easy for you though. It is unfortunate that we have always been taught that there are only two genders, some communities have acknowlegded three and there are some theories that there are many more genders than that... but we have been taught this male female dycotamy which isn't really true. You will obviously need to have a lot of counciling first which you can take your family to.. keeping them in the process will help here. People will at first think it is just in your mind but you seem to be honestly transgendered which your doctors will try their best to explain to them. The suicidal thoughts are common for transgendered people, a dispising of the body they are born into. (You may find it interesting that autopsies of transgendered people have found that they have the brain of the gender they always thought they were.)However it is common for people to feel that they have lost a child and the new one which they have will never replace the one they have lost. It is terrible I know but you will have to help them understand. It is not uncommon for people to loose friends in the process, help them as much as you can but if they will not accept it I'm affraid there isn't much you can do. It's hard for people to understand that this is different than simply dressing in drag. If it helps generally people are much more happy after undergoing the procedure. They are finally who they always knew inside that they were. If you like I can email you some journal articles on people's experiences of being transgendered... It's not even all that uncommon... To my recolection it is one in every 17,000 or something like that. Anyway, I hope this has helped. So the first step is getting some counciling for you and your family...\nI wish you all the luck in the world.

There are a number of surgeons around the world that will change your gender.  The most prominent place for sex change surgery is Thailand, though I'm not sure why.  I had an old roommate who's mother had a sex change surgery there, and apparantly (s)he had a lot of feeling in the new organ and could even orgasm, though there is no way to give you sperm or semen... that is you could never have a child after a sex change.

there's no way to become straight just like no one can become gay.  It's just a matter of finding yourself and accepting yourself for who you are.  I know it can suck right now but trust me in the future you'll be okay with who you are.  if you're still young it probably sucks but it will get better.  Trust me.  Good luck!!

Pull a sleeve over your hand and convert it to a penis. Your hand being the head of the penis and the sleeve being extra skin. When the penis becomes erect the extra skin gets pulled back, but on some it may not get pulled back all the way. They are odd looking if you have never seen one before.

Saying that openly on here is a start.  Find a counselor (many are free) in a gender you'd feel safest with, and try starting with small steps.  Tell them you don't feel comfortable opening up.  They know how to help you.

This should help...\n\nQ: Can a transsexual be fully a woman?\nA: Yes, but to a point- hormonally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally (basically all the aspects of being a female that society considers important), but not genetically- a person who got a sex change will still have XY, or male, chromosomes. A test for XX (female) or XY (male) will show that the person is genetically male.\n\nSome people don't believe this, that "you can always tell" a person got a sex change based on the look of their genitals, and this is wrong. Female genitals come in a huge variety of different looks- no female looks exactly any ther female in the genital department. There is a good chance that a gynecologist won't be able to tell, and they specialize in what vaginas look like. For all intents and purposes, internally, you would look like a hysterectomized female- vagina, but no cervix (opening that leads into the womb).\n\nA real transsexual desires to be fully transformed into a woman, and no half steps will be acceptable. They will not be happy AT ALL with having male parts on their crotch- it's embarassing to them and disgusts them that they have male parts attached to them. A transsexual sees a penis as something foreign attached to their body- that it shouldn't be there in the first place. A transsexual also doesn't want to become a woman because of a fetish- there is no erotic component to transformation for them. A transsexual is a woman in a male body, so I refer to them as "she".\n\nNow, a man who has a fetish about being feminized will seek breast implants, may take a few hormones (but nothing like a transsexual, who takes them every day, nonstop), and get some surgeries to make them look more female. I must reinforce the idea here that THEY ARE MEN. They have no desire to have their penis removed, they just have a sexual fetish about being a woman.\n\nSometimes, when a real transsexual is in the middle of their transition and they need money to get more operations, AND they still have male parts, some will swallow their pride and go into the pornogarphy business to make money to finish their transformations. They don't like it, but they will do it to get money to get their sex changes. Some persons that are half woman-half man are really men and just in the business to satisfy another fetish- they are also exhibitionists. \n\nI don't know what the numbers are for the proportion of real transsexuals and shemale exhibitionists, but a transsexual is in it for one thing only- to get money to get a sex change. A fetishist would be in it just to satisfy a fetish. If a person in this situation is constantly talking about getting a sex change, they are more than likely a real transsexual, and as soon as they can afford a sex change, they will be out of the business.

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

This is a very difficult question.\n\nBeing a transsexual is a very different state of being than being homosexual or bisexual.\n\nThe first thing to know is that that being a transsexual is mostly a state of feeling like the other gender. Something deep inside of you is telling you that you are something- but the reality of your physical being says that you are something else. Here two worlds collide because you feel either you are wrong or reality is wrong.\n\nFeelings are something on the inside and are difficult to evaluate to top it all off because feelings can change people tend not to trust them. \n\nBut if that feeling is very strong and stays strong during a long period of time then that is a definate sign that you do feel that you are the other gender. \n\nHowever there are many psychological conditions that can bring on feelings of being the other gender: Schizophrenia, psychosis, autism, childhood abuse.\n\nThe best thing to do is to go the Henry Benjamin site and find a trained counselor in transsexual matters near you. This association sets standards for the treatment of gender dysphoria as it is called. By treatment I mean that a counselor will help you sort out all of that confusion inside of you and help you see clearly if you want to be a boy or a girl and how to become that person that you want to be\n\nhttp://www.hbigda.org/\n\nBest of luck

Learn to take orders, and kill your family if that's what they want you to do.\n\nThe way things are floating up to the surface of the Washington cess pool, being gay might be a plus.

Either get therapy or a sex change.  Maybe both.

You are not as confused as you are scared.\n\nIt is not easy to admit alternative sexual preferences, and going out with someone of the same sex and being seen is admitting it.\n\nYou obviously have the feelings and are just not brave enough to stand up and let it all hang out, so to speak.\n\nIf you cannot find a way to take the bold steps on your own, you should seek advice, even professional counselling.\n\nRemaining as you are now is not good for you.\n\nWell, you have taken the first step and asked for help here, so I hope that you continue along this road and find a way to accept what you are and who you want to be.

Well, you say that you would feel more comfortable as a male, so I guess that would be true.  You DEFINITELY don't have to know from childhood that you were transgendered.  There are people who live their lives fine, happily, and then, at 20, 30, 50, 60, whenever- realize that they want to change their sex.  Knowing beforehand is not a prerequisite.\n\nShouldn't you really want male reproductive parts?  Not necessarily.  I mean, there are two different things we're dealing with here, sex, and gender.  Your sex- hormones and genitals and breasts, and something very private.  Few people- mostly doctors and lovers- are only going to see your sex.  However, everyone will see your gender, your presentation as male, and how they react and treat you and interact with you is a big part of gender, much more than a mind-body mismatch.  I think that's the heart of your feelings, and I think that you are transgendered, but not transsexual- i.e. you want to be taken as a man, but it isn't as though you're trapped in a woman's body, but rather, trapped by society's gender definitions.  So break free of those definitions, if you want, by passing as a man.\n\nI hope that helps- and just remember, I'm no expert.  Just trying to dole out good advice if I think I have some.
