Bravehearts: FTMs who cannot or choose not to medically transition

Corkey · 09-12-2012, 10:45 PM

Can't help you from here. Best way to get to know folks is to get out there. "s all I got.

Hi, Alix. No, I don't think you made a mistake. Although this site is defined as a butch/femme site, those who are TG or FTM are welcome.

To be honest, I wished that this site defined itself as a butch/femme/TG site, but they do not. I am glad that they have a "trans zone", though.

For myself, however, I do define very strongly as butch. I define as a TG Butch, and both identities (if for some reason you want to separate them out), are just as solid in my soul, as the other, perhaps butch a bit more so.

There are transguys here who define as butch and some that do not. It has been stated by Admin that trans people are welcome here. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

I don't think that you made a mistake at all, Alix.

I have not visited this thread since creating my own. However, I cam in tonight to copy paste my intro on here so I could include it in my thread as it is part of my journey, part of my life so to speak. I reread some of the posts and thought that the thread needed a bump. To get back on the front page for other Bravehearts old and new to see. After all that is how I found it Julien had bumped it. So bump

Just bumping this thread to give a shout out to the Bravehearts! I admire the courage and strength it takes NOT to transition and still do YOU - however you choose to do you! Never let anyone make you feel less than. Your stories are just as important, and just as real.

Posting in here in honor of those that lost their lives over the years and face hate because of who we are. Nov. 20 is the National Transgender Day of Remembrance. I find it sad that we meaning Bravehearts, FTM, MTF, and all the rest of the spectrum of being transgender has to have a day because society is so full of hate and misunderstanding. Keep those that came before us in your thoughts and let us not forget them.

On a personal note I took a big step today at least for me it is a big step. I asked my primary doctor for a name of a gender therapist and while she did not know one she did refer me to see someone that will help me find one. Many things have changed for me and most of it I have done alone (by my choice) but I have come to realize I need to at least talk to someone that gets it. Whatever it is...Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

That's awesome Alix! I hope you're able to find a gender therapist in your area, and that you get your questions answered! Let me know if you ever need to talk - Mike
