I feel female. I'm not fond of the mirror, shaving, feeling like a girl dressed as a boy, or a guy in a dress.

I deal, HRT is helping on balance while still not easy and I'm clearing the steps for SRS while wondering what life will be like with a neovagina and non-passing exterior. I certainly can't afford electrolysis at this point (either the $ or the time commitment).

The beard is a whole different matter, I hate shaving and have been worn a beard for 42 years, I'm not fond of my appearance clean-shaven and while HRT may change that, nothing about my life would be conducive to passing with the attendant need for makeup, wig etc.

So in terms of appearance I'm drifting towards feminine guy. I'd be happy to have people confused when they see me as passing really is a 'bridge too far'.

Its simple. I am female with a bit of a nonconventional malady. As for the transsexual word - to me, its a scientific term and nothing more.

Feminine male. I feel female on the inside but present male. Long male history. My goal is to be as feminine as possible while still able to present male. I feel that I just have too much baggage with kids, grandkids, friends, and relatives to become totally female. Kind of sad in a way, but it will make me happy just to be more female feeling on the inside. That's what counts, to be happy with myself.

Some may see what I write as being superficial, but it is how I feel. I was never a man. I was not transgender for a long time. The term I would put to is "Lost Soul." I have found myself in being transgender. I can't suddenly feel like a woman by ignoring a lot of history. For me, it will be more realistic to me as I travel through a number of milestones. I have come out to all, I have gone full time, I am recovering from FFS. All these bring my mind closer. Other milestones, living all situations day in and day out as a woman for a prolonged period of time, having BA and GCS surgery... each step will bring my perhaps superficial self closer to claiming womanhood. After all, the first day one moves into a brand new neighborhood, how many people feel like they are part of that community the first hour, day, or month. Will I ever feel like a woman? Does it matter if the answer is not 100% yes?

I didn't suggest going without any of those things. Nowhere at all did I even hint at going without those three things.

Some people don't have an extremely masculinization face by the way.

That entire post of yours was geared to dismissing it as something that is not essential because some women choose not to.
Trying to take it one day at a time :)

No. It wasn't.

I discussed notions of femininity in relation to childbirth - which you brought up. I did not mention SRS, HRT, or FFS. Not at all. Not once, not even slightly. Not even hinting. And certainly not 'gearing'. Nor did I even begin to suggest that those three factors were not basic essentials. I did say in my second post to you, that FFS was not essential for all because we don't all have heavily masculine features - which you brought up. I didn't say it wasn't essential for those who do, and who want to change that. Now in my third post to you, I will simply use FFS in its other, text speak meaning - FFS!

My post was 'geared' in a completely different direction. If you're a speaker of English as a second language, then fair enough for your wild and hurtful misunderstanding. Do not seek to attribute opinions and views to me that I haven't expressed. The whole post was wrapped around that one factor, and actually how dare you come back to me on this, in that tone, about where my motives were 'geared' with this - when I offered a heartfelt and honest few paragraphs of my deepest feelings about probably the most important thing, bar none, to me - and the lengths to which I would be prepared to go were it to become viable.

I chose to share that with you, and others, as part of a compassionate and truthful conversation, and you come back to tell me that I actually meant something else? You've engaged with nothing I shared, while coming back to me twice on it. The only one who has been dismissive of anyone's feelings here is you, towards me.

If being assigned male or female at birth correctly makes you cis gender, cis trans would be the other option  ;)

Yes I made it up.  ;D
