I'm new to this comm and I don't know who to talk to about this. I'm a 22 year old female and I've been questioning myself on things. Like...it'd be easier to be a guy and all that. Wondering what it's like and thinking that it might be easier to find someone. It's...really hard for me to explain. I hope I'm not bothering you with this I just ( Read more... )

first off I can not say if your transexual. You may certainly be trans but trans is diverse. You can be a butch woman and be trans, you can do drag and be trans. being trans is your own self definition

If you want to explore being a man, try it out. You wouldn't move to a new country if you could first go on a holiday there. Do some drag (as a bloke) and see how it feels. When your doing it, ask yourself how would it be to do this everyday for the rest of your life.

One good way to go is to try lowering your voice. Try learning how to talk like a man, to sound like a man. Learning how to be perceived on the phone and in life will radically alter how others perceive you. Yet you can always go back to speaking how you speak now. It's a bit like learning the correct pronunciation when learning a language

How do you feel about being an old woman, look around you and see big strong older women and ask yourself if that is how you want to be in 60 years time?

things to be aware of. the level of testosterone in your body is a side issue. It's just an aspect of how your body is. Because were live in a society that makes a big thing about sexuality and body and hormones, these things can see more important than they are. If you were a heterosexual feminine woman, the high testoserone might have you asking: am I enough of a woman. It a I said a side issue.

The real issue here is not your sexuality, not if men or women get a easier life, it not even about bodies. It's about deciding what you want for yourself and allowing yourself time to explore your options.

One word of warning, from someone who had lots of testosterone thrust upon them. testosterone is a powerful steroid and it has one way effects. It will permanently change your voice and it time will change your body significantly for example give you male pattern baldness. It effects are rapid. The situation is much easier for male to female transexuals in this respect because the changes are slower and can be more easily be corrected if mistakes are made

I've dressed as a guy every day since I was 15. ^^;
I've also tried talking with a lower tone of voice every now and then in private.
I was gonna say more, but I forgot what I was gonna say. T_T

ok that definitely puts a different spin on things

How do you feel about your chest?

There's not much to say about my chest, as I'm extremely small-chested. X_X The only time I really notice having them is if I have to jump for whatever reason and it's very annoying. >_< Other than that, they're pretty non-existent (to me at least), as 98-99% of the time, I can get away without wearing a bra.
