Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I was born physically female. Hated it. I wear female clothes, wear makeup, have my hair in a feminine style, and love it. It's the anatomy I can't bear. When I came out to several friends they said that I couldn't be a transguy if I liked *looking* like a female. To me, I'm just a feminine gay male stuck in the wrong body. If I were born male [only in the best dreams], I'd dress exactly like I do now, except I'd be happy with what was under the clothing. So... anyone else like me out there?

Well, I hate female clothes, but makeup and hair are fun. :)
I'm Nero. <offers hand>
Happy New Year and welcome to Susan's!

good to know friendly people are out there. I was half expecting to be condemned  :D

I would happily dress up like Dr. Frankenfurter XD so no, I certainly won't condemn you ;D

I don't feel like you about feminine clothing, but I wanted to welcome you to the boards.
I certainly won't judge you, just because you like to dress differently than I.
(I'm FtM as well)

Yes.

Well i am kinda like you except at the opposite spectrum. I wear mens boots and jeans and no makeup and a ballcap and do hard work on a farm yet i am a 10 yr post op woman.

oh yes i like girl clothes and sometimes i wear makeup but i guess im too lazy to put in on *meow*

in my ideal world I would be a fem looking guy

My wardrobe is mostly women's clothes, and I am growing my hair to be long again.  What I won't wear is tight tops (I don't care to show off "the boys") and skirts or dresses (people will compliment me all day for fulfilling gender roles, among other things).  I do want to make wardrobe changes, but that has to do with an overabundance of sloppy clothes and lack of black ones rather than with masculinizing my look.

OHMYGAWDDDD BILL KAULITZ. -gushes- Heissohotintheprettysense.

And no, I don't wear female clothing, but I can see where you're coming from. It'd be easier for me to wear a dress as a man. Well. Easier on me. What the rest of the world would say however... :/

Bill is hawt.

If i passed easily as male, i would go around looking like Miyavi

What he said.  Personally I wouldn't want to wear particularly femme style clothing but thats just my natural expression of my character.  if for some bizarre reason I had too then it certainly would be easier to wear a femme item of clothing if I passed 100% in the sense that I would feel more comfortable because I wouldn't feel someone was mistaking me for a girl.

<.< What are you talking about? A guy that wears girly stuff can't be that...

OOOOOHHHMAAAAAHHHHGGGGGAWWWWWWDDDDDD!!!! *Asplodes*

Are you QUITE certain that's a dude????

Anyways... I can't imagine wanting to wear chicks' clothing. Me, I, myself. Others... go for it! Everyone is different. I don't think for a second there should be a strict definition for any type of person. There are ftms who want to be entirely, traditionally male, down to having every girly part removed. Heck, I think they'd have their genetics changed if it were possible. There are some who choose never to have a bit of surgery or hormones. There are some, like me, who want to have top surgery but never bottom, who are on testosterone, and are happy with their plans. I don't see that there's any ONE way to be, no matter how you're classified.

So yeah, I personally wouldn't wear girly clothes, but I do find myself wishing, more often than not, that there were men's clothes in colors like neon pink and various shades of purple, and I've found myself gazing longingly at women's clothing just because of the fabric. Maybe I need to design my own. Who knows.

I read an article a while back about an FtM who works as a professional drag queen.  *shrugs*  Not my bag, but if it makes you happy, more power to you.

Haha I'm one of the ones who would love for my genetics to be changed. That way I'd feel more secure in feminine clothing, knowing that people didn't think I was a girl. As it is, I'll accept this body as is.. until T and surgery

YEAH, BABY, YEAH! That's me, kid. I'm excited to get the T underway and get unquestionably male so i can go back to nail polish and makeup!!!

Join an emo band.  Best of both worlds.  And money for nothing, chicks for free.

well that would be good if I had any musical talent at all, or wasn't completely and utterly gay  :D

Of the ones I work with musical talent is optional, not necessary.  And if they are not gay, they are sure fooling me.

I'm not FTM, but if I was, I'd  probably think it fun to wear some women's clothes. Why not? I was born male, and like to wear them  ;D
