Hi!

I'm kinda new here,and only posted a topic in the androgyne forum section before going here,in the transgender forum section.
I was wondering if there is anyone here who live as the female gender full time but with no need for hormones or surgeries...

It's the way i am.

Thanx!

:)

I lived full time when I was 20-21 years old in 1970-1971. At that time, I was unable to get any help at all, so HRT was not an option. At that age, I had no problem passing; I had been well socialized as a female from the age of 5 until about the age of 16, I had been taught how to best use make-up, and I had my hair done at a beauty parlor. I also was fortunate in not having a problem with facial hair at that time.

I've always dressed well, and with mini skirts being in style and I only weighed about 115-120, I looked good enough to draw attention and compliments almost daily. Too bad that I don't look that good now!!!

My mom's friend does it. :) She lives as a woman full time, but she hasn't ever done hormones or had any surgeries, and she doesn't plan to/want to.  She's 25, I think, and lives in England.

Apparently her family is very supportive.. buys her perfume for Christmas and all that. :)

Hey!

Thanx you very much for that information...
Do you know if she had a myspace or something like that?I don't want to bother her or anything,but it could be interesting to talk about that...


Have a nice day,

Depends on how you look of course.

If you've got very masculine features I'd say no.
Otherwise, its a maybe.

Usually, it only works in your early 20's when you've got baby
fat and look boyish. By 30, not many guys look boyish so
HRT is usually needed.

Hi!


Thanx for the reply...
Right now i'm 24,and look really female like...I'm called "miss" all the time,even despite the fact that my voice is very deep,but also kind of sweet...
I don't wear brestforms for now but i do plan to,and even then most peoples think i'm female...

But it's kind of hard to find others like myself...


By the way your picture is gorgeous!

I don't have any of her information, I'm sorry. :-\ She apparently disappeared off the face of the internet for a little bit and now she won't talk to my mom anymore. :-\ Eh.

Yip

I'm really jealous of you if you can pass as female without anything at all...
My body has betrayed me and its very male to the point that i'm quiet disgusted with it.

Boy or girl, we all have different body shapes, and out in public we get used to this every day . You just have to watch some of the makeover shows around to see how we can simply dress to get a better feminine shape (some more comfortable than others).

Unfortunately, the one thing we cannot cover up is our face. OK, we can make the most of our looks with make-up, but ultimately it is the overall shape that lets us down after we have practiced all the other "arts" of femininity.

So I feel my answer is yes, you could live without the hormones; but like other posts suggest, you need to work harder at it and it will get gradually more difficult through middle age. A facial procudure (of which there are many) is the most likely alternative.

I don't think I could do it long term....

I lived full time w/ out HRT for over a year. I was younger then, I wouldn't be able to do that now.

Hello Bibi,

That's me.  I went full time 14 months ago, no hormones, no surgeries.  I'm 46 and I blend ok, but don't pass on close inspection.  So, I can't say no need for hormones or surgeries.  I would love them both, but unfortunately I have reasons I can't do either at this point.  It turns out that I don't have anything keeping me from simply "cross-living," or as a woman full time though, so that's what I do, and I love it.

Hello, Bibi, welcome to Susan's, and i believe i can probably best answer your question.


i do live full time as a woman, no hormones, no surgeries. i will be 25 and hardly ever have been called sir. i only recently started wearing makeup but have never ever needed it, but i'm sure Keira will have something to say about all that. i went to see a CNP, the other day and was weighed for like the first time in months. i weigh 106 pounds, and have never weighed over 130. i even transitioned on the job, meaning i took no days off of work to do it. every one calls me by my name i wish to go by, and all the newer people all they see is female. my voice was probably just as deep as yours, when it wanted to be, but that never stopped anybody from calling me ma'am but i have made it a bit higher, but nothing so i sound like an idiot. and no i've never had any problems in the ladies room, ever. that's always the other big issue. also, i have never had facial hair more than what a woman may get-in the same places, and yes women have facial hair, just most of the time it's not black or produces a five o'clock shadow. they have upper lip hair and chin hair, and every now and then, some will have one stray hair come fromthe middle of their neck, Rachel Ray admitted she does on her own television show.

my maternal parent made predicitions about things when i was little but most haven't happened, like my hair going jet black even though i was born blonde, yeah well i'm still blonde. our bodies aren't set in stone whether we alter them with hormones or not, some people are luckier than others. i consider myself one of the lucky ones, and yes i will be getting the hormones, as i want breasts of my own, my spouse likes me to wear low cut tops.. ;D

Best Wishes,
Warrior Princess Mickie

p.s. my wife has a VERY square jawline

I did that for a few years.  Then I started HRT about 3 1/2 years ago.

I don't think I agree with that assessment.  Granted, you would need to do something about your hair, but you might be surprised how well you could pull it off.

Thanks! Although at this point I think I'd just have to shave my head :( and go for the Sinead O'Connor look.
