Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi I am so happy I thought they weren't going to let me transition but after a long conservation and research of my parents they finally accepted the fact that I am transgender and need to fix my body (mtf) I am 18 years old and going to start college soon,  I need some tips before transition can you girls share some tips? And is there anything should I be warned about?  :angel:  :angel:

Congratulations :)

There are going to be challenges. Seeing a gender therapist and going to group would help you cope and give you a lot of information.

I looked back at your past post a bit and facial hair is the most important thing to deal with first. There is nothing worst that trying to pass as female with 3 day growth of beard so you can get treatment. Beyond that, you need to tell us where your problem areas are because the problems each person has may be different. For example, a girl friend or mother might help you with clothing or makeup were some of us have to do it by ourself. Others need help with voice or walking in a way that doesn't shout male. As your parents are accepting they can be a great resource for you but you can ask us how to fix what you need help with.

Good luck, I am 18 ad starting college soon too! But no parents support, you're really lucky for that, I wish I had parent support... I don't know what you look like, but if you're just starting, try to learn how to do make up for your face, dress for your body, and shop for a look that fits you, as well as in the cheap side, because transitioning is expensive. Good luck!

Thanks  :D

Thank you, I think my body look like a cis woman's body except my face , so I think the only problem is my face I don't have very masculine appearances I don't have browbone or a strong jaw, I just want to get rhinoplasty I certainly need that, but I can't do that before transition I want to transition as soon as possible because I am 18 and I don't want to waste more time, I am very worrying about my nose because probably it will make me look masculine ..

My sister and I were blessed (spelled cursed) with the same nose, I would have lived with mine but when I had my adams apple fixed I decided to do the nose as well. I like the nose better than the adams apple but I am happy with both. My sister on the other hand still has hers at age 60 but it doesn't keep her from passing as a CIS woman. My nose on the other hand, didn't really help me pass as a woman. It's mostly looking more female than male but things like a beard will override all the other work on your image so it's best to deal with the worst things first.

YEA!!!!!!

Good for your family and you!!!

Lot's good advice here, 2nd the facial hair suggestion.  It's never too soon to start.  The rest of your body; that's up to you,  My surgeon required gentile hair removal too, which I did.  There are many approaches to getting the hair done and 2 basic procedures: electrolysis and laser.  I had both.  It's a right of passage so to speak, but I love the results.

Congrat's,
