What does gender transition mean to you.

[Wendy]

if you're [not] transitioning to any "new" / "different"  [sex] or [gender], why call it transition then?  it sounds more like [modification]; a few nicks here, a few tucks there but nothing concrete really, from one limbo to another.  at least that's the way i see it.

My devilish friend you are correct and funny too!  I do not feel like I am transitioning but I do feel that I am moving to a less painful state of limbo.  It has been very good for me to come to this forum.

Hi W,

OK, then, what are you going to do?

'Cause I just read through a bunch of pages on the Reference Library here, and now I am feeling so mixed up, in the closet and in denial, that i think I'm going to scream.

Gender transition (for me = a MTF transsexual) is the stage when that little girl trapped inside your artificial male persona in order to fit in, breaks free, grows up and has her own life.

Unquestionably, choice #6.

Nothing short of it will suffice.

For me the answer is 6, but that's just what will one day make ME comfortable. I can see others being happy with other options, but other people aren't me. I wouldn't consider someone who's at the supposed "stage one" to be of a different gender than they identify with.

The poll does ask what you would consider a minimum, well I want to start HRT that is a minimum but I want to go the full hod GRS and FFS. At the end of the day I just want to be able to live in the body I should have had, in the gender role |I| should have had and be happy with life.

Is that not want we all want. To be happy.

Jen,
Talking on this forum is a great place to start.  My secrets of a lifetime get a reaction similar to "do you want pickles with your hamburger or not?"  I laugh and cry within  a span of 10 minutes.  I have an entire lifetime of feeling mixed up.  The younger you can get professional TG help the better.

Yes, that's a good way to put it. The problem, of course, is just when this happens. My choice is the second option on the poll: transition happens when the little girl grows up sufficiently to act as a woman. The rest is merely ( ) fixing some medical problems.

Then of course, what do I know. I'm still at the first stage and have no idea when I'll be able to progress further -- or even, if I have to.
