WHAT?!??!?? Say it ain't so!!
As I once explained to my mother, these things happen in even the best of families.
WHAT?!??!?? Say it ain't so!!
I'm not overly a girly-girl - I'm more a goth/metal emo chick. But one thing I have worried about is when trying to convince doctors to let me have SRS, I guess they'll be more easily swayed by the whole "being a girly-girl" stuff than actually being myself.
I'm not sure I could convince anyone with WORDS why I'm female at heart/mind. It's such an abstract - the only thing 100% feminine that I could rely on is sexual style, but I also worry that trying to convince someone I should have a vagina and have lesbian sex won't be adequate...
It seems like an uphill battle.
I'm so thankful for finding the QLTBAG room (and more specifically, The T Party thread) because until now I've never actually spoken to anyone who's had SRS, or was even trans in the slightest.
As far as you know. There are more trans and more intersexed people around us than we realize.
Much as you can't reliably spot other sorts of queer folk. There are not-in-the-closet stealth queer folk of all sorts.
I don't entirely understand the purpose of going stealth. Burying your past just seems like a bad idea. And it means breaking contact with most of the people you know. Also, if you've gone from being raised as one gender to successfully transitioning into another, then you should be proud of that.
Yeah, no. You're misunderstanding a cultural reference, I think.
Stealth doesn't mean hiding or passing, or being in the closet. There's an old old phrase "stealth dyke, " also, "stealth lesbian." I've not seen a non-Web use of a similar phrase for gay males, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
A "stealth lesbian" is a woman who's lesbian, and out, but is not identified as such even by other lesbians. There are stealth trans folk as well. They aren't passing, or hiding, they just aren't recognized as trans.

There's an academic transwoman who has as she said tried to "kill" her previous persona. I knew her as the other person, and so it has felt very much like a death for me, as happy as I am for her now and her new life. And I am happy.
But I did care about the other person too, and can't help but grieve a little.
Trans people were involved in the Stonewall Rebellion and many do go to Pride events, but we're still kinda getting things together.
I haven't studied this a lot, but from my brief perusal of Wikipedia and a few other online sources, I sort of got the impression that transfolk started the Stonewall Rebellion. Have I gotten the wrong impression? I mean, there were some gay youths in the first day riot, but I thought it was primarily TG?
One of the things I notice with transwomen, often, is that they have . . . I dunno, "inherited," maybe? . . . some of the odd twentieth and twenty-first cultural detritus around the concept of "woman." That is, the idea that X, and Y, and R are "feminine," and "good behaviors," and R and V are absolutely not.
If a gay (genetic) man has sex with a gay trans man (without bottom surgery), is there a preference for anal sex, or would they have vaginal intercourse?
I think there's a couple big reasons why transwomen sometimes act in a hyper-feminine manner.
Firstly, in order to be accepted as a woman in society. A biological woman can wear loose pants, a plaid jacket and walk like a truck driver, yet wouldn't be questioned on her femaleness.
Secondly, they go over board simply because they couldn't show femininity before. It's like a shaken can of soda.
This very phenomenon contributes to transmen acting hyper-masculine, too. Because ciswomen are allowed to act and dress pretty androgynous, or wear "boy clothes" without question, a feminine-looking transman might feel he has to spit, swear, and act triply tough than he might otherwise just to avoid being mistaken for a ciswoman. (this was the case with my friend, anyway)
I understood him dropping his voice
How do you take estrogen? Like, I can't swallow pills, so is there an option for a dissolvable tablet or monthly injection or something?
Thanks.
