Hey all, I hate this to be my first post, but I do have a few very important questions that I want to ask before my time runs out, I really want to get a head start on this!

To explain, I have %100 decided that I want to slow down or halt my masculine aging so that I have more of a possibility of passing as a woman in my future, and because I am already extremely distraught over my appearance. Every time I turn around, there's more dark brown hair on my arms, grizzly bear hair on my legs, stubble on my chin, and and so many masculine things that my chances of passing as a young gal is next to impossible! I am desperate to slow down this adult puberty!

The only thing is that it will be a number of years before I can afford to undergo any type of surgery, cosmetic or genitalia natured, and my partner and I do not want to loose my sexual function "down there" until I can undergo any procedures; my partner and I are indeed sexual with each other and despite myself relatively not using my male parts for anything, I do enjoy stimulation and ejaculation in that area when my partner is able to help me feel comfortable with myself - you have to express your urges somehow, after all... at least I do.

With all that said, it's obvious that I'm worried that with taking estrogen and like-wise replacement therapies, that my penile function and sexual energy will cease to exist after a few months (everyone's heard the horror stories about these many men loosing sexual function after a month of taking hair loss pills!), I just won't be able to cope with that for the next 5 years or so, nor will my partner. I am extremely curious though as to if or if not one can take advantage of anti-androgen therapy (the type that prevents teenage puberty) if you are still in you're early 20's and still going through many puberty related changes.

That process would be most beneficial for me (as it does not seem as though I'd loose my sexual urges and function, that it could merely slow everything down - I even would indeed want my sexual urges to slow a little, as currently, the sexual energy is way too high during the day, too much that I can't focus on work or fall to sleep without accomplishing myself.) Please help a girl out and tell her what she could do, and even if any doctors across the country could do this for me! I also should mention that because of my work situation and lifestyle, I would also not want to develop noticeable real breasts until I am able to undergo GRS and am able to legally function as a woman, which would be another positive of this hormone choice.

Thank you!!!

Sorry - Can't answer even one of your questions, as I have no experience with hormone treatments... but don't fear, a number of ladies here should have insight.

Welcome, though!

I ain't scared... I just don't want to mess up my hair.

Hi RideSallyRide,

A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.
In respose to your question. Simply put; you can't have your cake and eat it at the same time.

It is obviously a much greater issue that needs a lot of discussion between you and your partner, as to what is going to work.

The matter you have raised has more questions to answer than just reducing your secondary sexual characteristics. Perhaps a round table discussion with an experienced gender therapist would be by far, a more holistic approach.

Hope this helps in some sort of way.

Be safe,well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
