good for you. I have been on it for 6 years now, and I have to say it was the BEST DECISION I EVER MADE IN MY LIFE :)

I didn't. Could you tell us what it was about and what was sad about it?

thank you for asking Linus. You can go to ABCnews web site to watch the story. Just check the 20/20 link for yesterday's show. A short synopsis though; a mtf transgendered person becomes a widow of a fireman who lost his life fighting a fire. His family found out that she was born a man and is now suing her for survivor's benefits totalling almost a million dollars citing their marriage was not legal in TX. The surgery was done before marriage, the husband was well aware of the circumstances and she had her name changed on DL and other legal papers. It was very touching and emphasizes how far we have to go.

I quite T. And there's a storm brewing. There are things in our past sometimes that can't be changed—things follow us. Wishing you well.

Sorry to hear that but sometimes we have to step back before we can move forward. Hopefully things will sort themselves out and allow you to move in the direction you want.

Kobi 11-07-2010 11:46 AM
I have a question....

I'm presuming you are familiar with the stiry about Kye on the GWU NCAA basketball team. He said "I'm not a trans, I am a man."

Is that a personal preference or is there a distinction that is made in the community?

Kobi 11-07-2010 11:47 AM

Sometimes the shots can make you more prone to mood swings, but that isn't a big issue for most guys. I am more susceptible to that because of my bipolar disorder, so I am on the gel. I apply it every day so I get a continuous amount instead of the cycles of the shots. That has worked well for me. Maybe you can discuss that possibility with your doctor.

Personally speaking, I think it's just a self-identification thing.....so a personal preference.

There are many who reject the "female at birth" notion and many who accept it without question. It's just self-identification.

Just my opinion, of course...

Like atomiczombie said, talking it over with your doc would be wise. Perhaps you just need a lower amount on a weekly basis.......or getting a daily dose like atomic does. Something more steady...

I have to agree with Thinker about this. It is an identity choice.

Leigh 11-07-2010 03:02 PM
I agree as well that its a personal preference, as I've seen that with many people to be the case. I've known trans guys who compleely shun the notion that they were ever female even if only at birth, and I've known other guys who embrace who they were as they transition. I personally am the kind of guy who embraces My past and knows that I may have been born female, but I'm still a man and am matching My outside to My inside feelings. I'm not ashamed of any of My years as a female, no I dont like that but I embrace it and know that I had may good times in the past ~ times that I wouldn't trade for the world :)

Hey Guys,

A question about facial hair:
How long should one give it until his facial hair is coming in as fully as it ever will?
Might it take longer than 2.5 - 3 years?

Just wondering...

Thanks,

Hey bud...

I wonder about that too. I've read in a few places where that type of growth is still changing for up to 5 years.

I figure that at the 5-year mark, I will have as much as I'm gonna get.

Well, I have been on T for 12 years now, and my beard started coming in much thicker just this year. I'm wondering when it stops. lol
