Welcoming

Not bad. However to find proportional breastforms for your frame you might have to buy TG specific large breastforms, as your frame looks like a woman of similar build would have large breasts. You have to be careful though, as I sense there may be a lot of frauds out there, thriving on the fact that many TGs can be ripped off and will be too afraid to report them to the authorities. A lot of places are online vendors with little accountability.

The ideal thing to do would be to go to a store that sells mastectomy prostheses for women who've had mastectomies following breast cancer. They generally had good reputations because they generally cater to the medical community. However, I've never heard of any TG people trying to get prostheses from those places, and I don't know how receptive they would be to the idea.

For some help, you can also buy shapewear, which can help create a perception of more feminine proportions. For example, a waistnipper helps to create an hourglass shape, creating an illusion of wider hips. And so on. If you have a tiny butt, you can also buy pads which flesh those out. And so on.

EDIT: Technically my mirror isn't full length either...and I scavenged it out of a dumpster at the end of the school year two years ago. I was lucky it didn't have lipstick marks or was shattered. The wood frame was cracked, but I didn't care. I also think a silverfish or two hopped aboard...but I killed them.

In college towns you can often scavenge clothes from dumpsters or near dumpsters, as girls are generally pretty wasteful. I've found expensive dresses from Wet Seal, designer pants and jackets and even underwear in dumpsters. (Pantie fetishists should seriously move into college towns...panties are freaking everywhere...especially after long weekends panties will be lying on the side of the road all over town, bike paths, apartment complexes, etc, etc...) Most of the time it's not even inside the dumpsters...it's usually in bags besides the dumpsters.

The only issue is size. if you can wash it, you might be able to trade it in to thrift shops, or sell it to them.

Pads and stuff are quite the temporary solution. Remember, I am not aiming for a 'I crossdress", I am aiming for full blown girl hormones. I hope they redistribute my fat properly.
 
Well hormones, from what I've read, take a long time to work. And usually before you can get hormones, most doctors require you go through RLE, or Real Life Experience, where you spend full time as a female for a long period of time (usually a month or more), before handing out the meds.

As far as I know, getting hormones is as easy as going in and talking to him, and RLE isnt required for them. (For SRS, though, different story)
 
Hmmm...I thought most doctors prescribing HRT and surgeons that perform SRS conformed to the HBIGDA-SOC.
 
The standards of care of which you speak (I know a _lot_ about the tg subject) Generally require psyciatric evaluation, but getting hormones doesn't require a RLE.

I could be wrong, of course. But my claim is substantiated by doctors prescribing hormones to people who would otherwise get ones on the black market, because they are 'safer'
 
It's definitely a lot safer than taking those herb pills off the internet...those are downright shady.
 
Well yea, thats why the doctors do prescribe hormones to people who are already/would just go to the net/black market to get hormones. The doctor would rather see you taking healthy hormones from him than black market shit laced with acid. (I am exagerating, of course)
 
Yeap, but anyways, hormones take several years to get satisfying results...so pads and such will have to do in the meantime.
 
Realistically, you are right. Also, welcome to the new person, though this is pretty much a TG thread if you cant tell.

I want to come out to my mom soon (remember, she doesnt live with my family) But I want to wait untill I can muster a believable voice. I don't suppose you have any links to free material? ( I have combed over TSroadmap's list of sources, but I cant afford to buy their plans.)

I am kinda worried though, if she won't crack under the stess and tell someone.

Also, any reccomendations on practicing locations? I cant drive yet (winter interfered with testing... you'll get yours, winter, you just wait..) so I am kinda stuck as far as 'how far' I can go from our house (also, the weather is shitty)

Any advice?
 
It is less than a week untill sunday.. thats my goal day. Man, I don't know if I can or should go through with it. A part of me wants me to believe it is just a fetish, and tells me to not drag family into it, but the rest of me is gung-ho.
 
Well, I think I saw something about voice being all about putting the back of your throat in falsetto mode, but not raising your pitch. When you sing in falsetto, think Queen, it feels like the back of your throat is constricted. Now try to hold that and lower the pitch of your voice. What contracting the vocal chords does is cut out to baritone and bass in your voice, leaving only the higher tones in, without it becoming Mrs. Nesbitt-ish. Combined with low volume, and practice it seems to work ok.

As someone who has come out to my mother, I suggest you don't think about it and just do it.
 
My family has a way of smooth talking people out of stuff, I want to be ready to argue any point. Voice is one such point, And I have decided to practice that untill my responce to them can be a "you dont think this sounds girlish enough?" in that voice. They would be stunned, provided I can sound half as good as Andrea of TSroadmap.

Thanks for the tip. Any idea on a place to practice?

Wow! All this transformation work sounds like well work! So where is the fun?
 
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I am not so sure I understand what you said. I think you meant "Wow, all this transformation stuff sounds like hard work. So, when do you get to have fun?"

If I am wrong, correct me.

Its not supposed to be fun, its no joke going through the process.
Its a long arduous journey of the body & soul to correct natures mistake. And if you are not strong enough to endure the process it will spit you right out again.
 
I think its funny that this I hope to just become a normal girl after all this, but I found a haven for help on a 'literotica' message board ;)

I wish there were a message board online for young transgendered individuals who seriously want to blend in afterwards. Every time i see somthing on the news about a transgender, they always don't pass at all, and its depressing. I WANT to pass. I want to blend into the background.

That isnt to say that there aren't those that have, but I keep finding people who want to be flashy females, and/or crossdressers, but I still haven't found someone with whom I can directly relate. Its really starting get to me.

Hannah *hugs* part of the problem is, that transgendered individuals who have succesfully blended into the background will not visit message boards etc, as it doesnt figure in their lives.
What you need to find is an onnline or real life mentoring scheme. I will ask those I know if they have any details on this and let you know :kiss:

Passing for a female and looking like a transsexual model are two different things and i believe many are people are dissapointed after reassignment surgery because their expectations are way too high. I believe a great doctor is needed.

True, but I am aware of the limitations of the surgeries. i have done my homework, and for the most part, if you arent already built like a male, all you need are a face that passes (mine is already very feminine at most angles) and a voice that passes. The voice is obtainable, and the face, after FFS, will be as good as it gets.

For me, I am not -that- built up, the worst enemies I have are feet/hands/shoulders. I pass at 6 ft so long as I don't randomly grow another inch.

I generally speak as little as possible, but the shower is a good place to practice...nice and private.
 
OMG. BRILLIANT.

Thank you so much!

Too bad we have limited hot water, but a half hour of practicing is better than none! ~hugs~
