New to all this

I recently became aware of my being transgender.
I am a man and feel like one, just wanting a vagina.
Although I don't believe in labeling, I would like to know what I would be considered.

Welcome to susan's Shane. I've moved your post to our introductions section.

Sounds like you have more of an issue with your physical genitalia than your gender. You may want to explore why you feel this way and what drives this desire to have a vagina.

I'm not sure I could give you a label, but then again I'm not big on labeling people. We each have our own issues and quirks that make us unique.

Whatever you feel you are or what  you need to do is up to you. Feel free to ask questions and explore.

Like I said, welcome to Susan's. Be sure to check out our Rules as well as other information found in our Announcements Section.

I probably should have mentioned that I am attracted to lesbians both personality and sex wise. I am still a virgin, but I feel like heterosexual inter coarse isn't personal or loving ; more aggressive and almost selfish.
thank you for the response and I will look into that.

[Osiris]

Do you feel that by having a vagina you will have a better chance of being with the kind of women you are attracted to?

And there is more than 1 way to have sex and "parts" don't determine what kind of sex it's going to be. Lesbians can have rough, selfish sex just as a heterosexual couple can have loving, tender sex.

Welcome!  I sort of understand you, I'm attracted mostly to gay guys but I lack the necessary equipment to do anything with a gay guy.

Enjoy your stay!

[shane]

That is a very good point.

I never felt comfortable with a penis. I remember many times feeling angry when becoming aroused.
I am aware that lesbians can be just as bad, but my attraction to lesbians are not purely sexual. Most of the girls I have/wanted to date either were, or later came out as lesbian. I am more compatible with them as well. I am not close minded with who I date either. I am equally open on dating men and transgender people.

Please take no offense to this, but reading your post it reminded me of the lesbian guy on the Lword. and no I don't mean Max who was trans, I mean the one guy on there at one point that was like I am a lesbian in a male body? but he wasn't worried about transitioning. I'm probably not making any sense...does any one know of the guy I'm talkin about?

[shane]

LISA!!!!!! YES!!! I love the L Word. Thank you for reminding me. I have told my best friend about this realization (who fully supports me) and we joke that I'm " a Lisa". That's spot on. I feel like lisa , but I want bottom surgery.

no offense taken at all

Sweet!! I'm glad it wasnt a useless ramble. It really is exactly what you reminded me of and I havent watched the L Word in god knows how long. And although he didn't get surgery i do recall him not ever using his...didnt he use a strap on...ok now Im prolly off..but yea, thats totally what you reminded me of

So if you need a label...that's certainly someone you may be able to compare to. at least from the little bit that you've posted

[shane]

hahaha Yeah He carried around a vibrator but Alice made him use his...
Watch it again.....I still need to watch season 6.
Thats definitely describes how I feel. 

No worries, rambling leads to good conversation.

[StaceyBean]

That it does, I'm just glad I wasn't totally off in thinking that.  I have had a couple. lol. So now that we have a basis established, what else is there to know about you Shane

[shane]

I was raised Christian(and to some degree still am) My favorite shows are (goes without saying) The L Word, True Blood,  Weeds, and Dexter.
As far as movies go...Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Synecdoche New York, Lars and The Real Girl, and Memento.
Music...Jack Johnson, Andrew Bird, Tegan and Sara, Iron and Wine, and Streetlight Manifesto.

What can you tell me about yourself?

[StaceyBean]

Hmmm, well it is you're thread haha, but I was raised Catholic...Dont really practice but believe in God. Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Army Wives= My favorites atm. Movies...Hmmm...Too many to count, but the almost anything with Sandra Bullock is high up there! Music anything country is amazing. Carrie Underwood = AMAZING. haha

[shane]

I'm not too big on country, but Lady Antebellum is pretty good.
Sandra Bullock is pretty incredible. Speed and Miss Congeniality a couple favorites of mine.

Please tell me you've seen Fight Club

[StaceyBean]

I have not...we may own it though. I should check...Is it that good? lol

[shane]

I don't want to oversell it for when you watch it and it's not "As good as I thought it would be". You really should watch it. It made me an eternal fan of Brad Pitt.

[StaceyBean]

Ah okay. I am already a partial fan of his. And we dont have it :-/ We borrowed it and never watched it. lol.
