All very great ideas. I want to paint my nails at least my toes but the wife seemed very against it. Maybe I will try to clear matte nail polish. I usually under dress at least one article of clothing like panties a thong or a bra.

I work as a mechanic so I can only get away with so much and still be functional.

I thought about getting piercings like my nose or ears. Not sure how it would look honestly. We have a guy here that has his nose pierced once in each side, and it looks normal for him. But I feel for me it is out of character since I have never had it.

Sounds like this is a step in the right direction... But I can't Imagine the hoops we would have to jump through to get the va to approve surgery yet alone hrt. If they would accept letters from non VA therapists, or if you have to go to a VA therapist and play their game for them to be told to deny and disprove as many people as they can.

Plus I'm not sure I'd want the quality of the doctors that work for most VA hospitals operating on me yet alone my genitals...

Quote from: CosmicJoke on Today at 11:24:44 AMHi everyone. I believe it has happened where some people may have been led to believe that they are transgender and transitioning was what was right for them. Maybe they end up finding out it was something else so they detransition. In this case that was the right decision for them.
I think maybe there are other times people do it but then it turns out to be a mistake. I'm sure it has happened alot of times. Maybe when you see how you are treated as a woman you think "it's so much easier just to be a man" and vice versa.
My question is just that. Is detransitioning always the wise decision?

Are you detransitioning, or do you think you were erroneously led to believe that you were transgender? Because otherwise you're simply asking us to judge others, and I feel that would be extremely poor form.

I have to admit that there has been noticeable shrinkage, however I started out with a significant size.  MFT HRT for me caused shrinkage and less "fluid" production. Reducing MFT HRT for a prolonged amount of time did recover some of what was diminished.  Resuming the full MTF HRT resulted in losing what was recovered. To say any more details would be more appropriate for a sexuality forum topic, not here, and this is a private matter regardless!

I was never very big but now I think I qualify as having a micro penis. I lost both length and girth. It feels like my urethra has shrunk as well, I am unable to stand to urinate anymore.

I think I was too short to benefit from male privilege.
In any case I routinely get more respect presenting as a woman!

This is as personal decision.

I see nothing wrong for someone to voluntarily seek out professional help in regards to transitioning or detransitioning.  You should be sure about which way to go!

Danielle hit it right on the head. I'll just add that it's never anyone else's decision whether transitioning or not is right. People get to make their own decisions. We don't make decisions for them.
