I hear what you're sayin Tommy....and it does suck. .I was having some major issues with that, as well among many other things...needless to say I decided to stop taking T. I pass now about 100% of the time in straight crowds-the T can take credit for that. but I'm still "queer" looking or amiguous enough to where I can have "some" of both worlds and I'm really happy with that. I personally identify as a genderqueer FtM though..and for you...If you really do want to live as male, then pretty much you're just gonna have to learn to live with that privilege and respect the lesbian/dyke spaces. I have no idea what kind of space REBEL GIRL consists of...I'm assuming it's lesbian/dyke oriented, so I can only assume that if they wanted to be around FtM's or male identified people, that they would seek out a more inclusive space.

i'm very interested in the route you've taken with T. I've really been thinking about it a lot and i'm considering this same course of action. if you don't mind if i ask a few questions -- how long were you on T? and was there a time when you weren't "queer" looking enough to have your foot in the queer world?

I responded with some info down below to another user if you'd like to read that.

as far as you're other question goes "was there a time when you weren't "queer" looking enough to have your foot in the queer world?"

"Queer world" =no, but everyone assumes I'm a gay man. lesbian/dyke world= yes

I pretty much stay out of "scenes" though these days. I rarely go out cuz I have a lot going on in my life and I pretty much just hang out with my core group of friends who are a mixture of straight and lesbian/gay who are already cool with me as is.

my email is below as well if you have more inquiries.

i'm also very interested in how you managed that. you have just described the exact route i want to take with T and transitioning. along with the other questions posed by gimmetrouble, i was wondering what your dosage was? and how often you took your shots?

Actually my shots and dosage schedule was pretty screwy......
BUT i started in june of '05. first shot was 200 mg.
then I went back every ten days(sometimes I let it slide a little longer) for a shot of 100mg. I did that for about 3 months.
Then my doctor lowered my dose to 75mg every ten days. So I did that for awhile.
Then I stopped my shots towards the end of November through December. I then started up again in Jan...but I was only taking 75 mg/month for a couple more months. Now I'm currently not on T.

fyi: my acne got pretty bad since my hormones were all out of wack. overall, I'm sure there's a more continuous/calmer shot schedule you can be on. I noticed that I really liked being on 75mg/month. It keeps up the changes without going overboard...for me persoanlly anyway.

I gotta run...but feel free to inquire more if you'd like.
