Hi,
I'm alias Fuji, Ft...?- I'm not sure. I've heard of someone calling themselves FtX, where the 'X' stood for awesome. I'm tempted to adopt the term.
I was struggling for a while because I felt I was missing a certain body part, like someone had made a mistake and forgotten to give me one, and I didn't know why I had a V or what I should be doing with it. What made it more difficult for me is that I like performing the female gender- I just know I'm not supposed to be the female sex.
Though I've accepted what I am (I call myself a gay man-woman), and started living and making love the way I want (though not sharing it with anyone other than my partner and closest friends) I'm still terrified of not having a support community. I've seen a lot of divisiveness in Trans communities, and I was worried I was not trans-enough because I only wanted to change my private characteristics and not my outward ones.
But now that I've started participating, I've found a lot of acceptance. I hope to hear from and learn from and about other people who identify in between or as both genders or sexes.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the community. Thank you!

Hi Fuji
Welcome to the forum.
For me there is not something like being trans enough, you are a human being with feelings.
So, even if you want only to change the color of your hair to feel you more in the gender you belong, you have my support.
I'll hope you'll have a good stay here and find a lot of acceptance( and I think you will)

Welcome to Susan's Fuji!
As Annette and Patty have already mentioned there is no such thing as 'trans enough'. Everyone is different, and only you can decide who you are and what makes you happiest.
Be true to yourself, and know you have all of our support.
Welcome to the family!
Hugs,
Jacquelyn

Welcome to the site Fuji :icon_wave:
I think if your trans even the slightest bit then you are "trans enough" if such a thing were actually to exist. As you see you've already found some great supportive people because every girl who has commented so far is awesome :) See ya around the forum

Hey there :)
I'm new too, and yeah, I think I feel similarly to you about this stuff. Even when I'm performing femme, I usually feel kind of horrified at the idea of what's between my legs being involved in 'straight' sex.
And I reiterate that there's definitely no such thing as 'not trans enough' (though I understand feeling that way!). I'm glad you've found the community here so awesome, it fills me with hope :)
