Title: feeling lost about gender-issues
Post by: Apple on May 24, 2007, 10:08:51 AM
I hope this is the right to place this topic, if not I´m sorry XD

so since quite a longe time I feel really lost about all these gender issues.
it makes me feel upset just having to write this but I -am- female.
I gave really much thought in starting a hormone-treatment , but I´m not sure because I really don´t want any surgery.I want to be able to go outside and having people see me as a male and just feel male but I don´t want a dick.I really really seriously detest my breats but fortuantelly they are small enough to bind them awayI .and I´m asexual so I really don´t care whatever is in my pants XD
anyway, is it really possible to start a hormone-treatment like this? sometimes I think maybe my issues are more about having to be a girl more than not being a guy (does this make sense?) and I don´t think doctors will take me for serious like this.

If anyone has similar experiences or any advices ect I´d be grateful.
thank you for commenting or just takinf the time to read this.

Word of advice:
Seek therapy.
Being trans is tough, no matter where you are coming from.  If you are having issues with your gender identity and conflicting feelings seeking a therapist is the best route to deal with these issues.

Hi Apple,

Like amy said, Therapy might be worth a try.  I think most of us here have had gender questioning thoughts, or why the body did not match the mind.    Me I always knew I was a girl stuck a a guys body, though I was a bit pig headed about it somedays.  Hormones can do the most amaizing things, but before you take them you really really want to be sure about things.  Please feel free to post any questions or thought you might have.  We're pretty much all friends here and pretty much in the same boat , though sometimes from polar opposite directions.

I have to agree with AmyT, seek therapy for your identity issues. Doctors won't take it seriously unless you go thru some hard work with a therapist to sort out who you are and what you really want in life.

Hugs,

Rhonda

Most important step is to find a gender therapist.
