What made you realize you are a woman?

Hi Narela,

This is one of 'those' posts which will end up in tears.

I think most if not all will tell you they do not identify as transexual.

I think from a past Mod point of view (retired) just delete the post.

It will just be acrimonious and people will get warnings etc.

Before all FAILS...

I know because somethings we just know. It's as simple and maybe as difficult as that.

Somethings we just KNOW! It is knowing beyond argumentation.

If it make no sense, just do what Cindy suggested.

I know in the same way that I know anything else:  because all evidence to the contrary has been disproven.

I tried to be male:  FAIL

I tried to be androgyne:  Mostly FAIL

I tried to bury dysphoria and forget about it:  Complete and Total FAIL

I tried to be male again:  FAIL

I accepted the fact that my desire to be female will never go away:  WIN

Why you think that you are transexual?

I don't.

I don't.

I agree with what others have said, these types of questions (this isn't the first time I've seen it asked in some form or fashion) always degrade into something heated and ugly.  This sounds like a question we have to deal with from non-trans folks all the time and the sad part of it is that no matter what we say, no matter what the current research says if they're not receptive to the idea - well we're just shouting into the wind.

I don't like feeling forced to have to prove myself.  We've all done that to our own breaking points anyways.  This certainly isn't the place for it.

So then what??

Just be what you are. If you don't know, find out.
Easy piece, lemon squeeze.

I ask this because some of people make the transition and then realize that they was not a transsexual

It's why you go see a shrink and stick with the Benjamin rules, now WAPTH.

They should worry more about just that then even you do. They got a reputation to loose these folks, never mind ethics.

That's the stuff talk shows (and "pray the gay away" brochures) are made of.  Yes it does happen, but not nearly as frequently as it might seem.  Most of those are bored rich people with more money then brains.  For what it costs and the amount of time it takes, very few people are going to endure the entire transition process and then "suddenly" decide they weren't trans to begin with.

I think they represent something like 1/10th percent.  Compare that to other results and it's pretty amazing.

If you do DIY (Do It Yourself) and just take pills from the Black Market (Internet etc.), BCs (Birth Control pills) ... then you are out on your own. I said enough, because we ALL do know it is dangerous.

Sorry, forgot you use a translater...

I know ¬_¬

But, how you realized it ?? 

I know you all understand what i mean ...

I think the OP was a fair question to ask... I'm sure all of us have had doubts if this is what we really are.

Personally? I have no freaking clue what I am. 7 months ago I thought I was just a bi guy who was leaning more towards gay and had a few body image issues. Completely socialized as a guy and generally pretty happy with life.

Now I'm 4 months into hormones and changing day by day into some unknown person. I don't know if I am male and I don't know if I am female.

What I DO know?

I know that I like what is happening to me. I like being able to experience a wider range of emotions (and more easily), I like the softer skin and more feminine appearance (male or not), I ~really~ like the super powerful orgasms (hehe)... I like everything that these hormones are doing and just can't imagine myself stopping.

~shrug~ so, I might just be a crazy gay guy who decided to replace his hormones... or I could be mentally female and simply naturally seeking to change my body to match my mind... it really doesn't matter to me either way.

Asking 'think' is probably the worst wording to make...Sometimes the wording is a really touchy thing all on its own.
Well, quite simply, it's instinct.  We in some way express to ourselves mentally a realization of a desynchronized state of our sex "is" compared to what literally is our sex. (sort that out however you want) Of course it's vague, but that's what makes transsexualism pretty hard to pin down in the first place.
As for people who bad-transition, I feel that they're cases of internal dishonesty.  They look outwardly to define who they are rather than internally, and by doing so may 'realize' they are the wrong sex...yet they never actually have felt they are the wrong sex.
All-in-all, I agree with one of the earlier posts.  This is an extremely devoted path, so I doubt the fequency is honestly frequent, unless if you count canceled transition processes.  Plus, these people who "suddenly" realized probably understood already, but were just thinking they could do it anyway.

Jeesh whats with half the pepole here.

I am a transsexual because I experienced for the majority of my life what I personally think was gender dysphora it's impact on my mental stablity was so strong I was in serious risk of killing myself I was already harming myself severely.

I transitioned because that was the only way of reducing it's impact.

Why do I experience gener dysphora?
I don't know... I've heard many speculative theories some more substantively backed up than others.
