    I'm one (FTM). I've struggled with gender identity for my entire life. I have always identified myself as a male, even though I sometimes feel slightly more feminine than masculine. When I was fifteen I attempted to talk to family and friends about this but received nothing but negative reactions... so I'm at the point now where I keep it to myself. It's extremely difficult at times; I don't know what to do. I feel invisible because I know that people only can see the outside of me. I guess I'm afraid to be anything other than what my family expects; I don't want to lose the few people I have. And I am beyond confused as far as gender preference because I go through "phases". One day I may only find men attractive, then the next day I may be attracted to only women. Sometimes I am attracted to both, but other days neither. Does anyone else have this problem? It's so frustrating.

    Sorry lol, but I needed for at least one person to hear that. I feel better after writing this. : D

    I'm a trans girl, today's my 12th day of HRT (though my dosages are definitely too low).
    I'm 35 with a wife and three kids... and we're finally reaching some stability at home (though a tenuous one).

    I plan on going FT in 6-18 months... with some FT trials starting probably this summer.

    Feel free to friend me here on MFP!!! I've lost 45 lbs and aiming for 20 more (though I'd be pretty happy with 10).

    I'm a big ole lez who is a huge supporter of the Trans community. So, thought I'd throw that out there. Send me a request if you'd like. :-)

    I know what I am in my own mind but not sure how others would wish to label me, though some say that I'm simply suffering from gender dysphoria.

    I see myself as both genders and in the UK I often get called a Tgirl.

    I'm currently having laser treatment for hair removal and am considering Male to Female surgery (brow bossing and the like).
    Not interested in gender reassignment as I like those bits!

    This aspect of my lifestyle certainly helps with keeping my focus on my weight and body shape! I can now happily get into size 4-6 (US)/ size 8-10 UK dresses, skirts, and tops. I just want to drop a few more pounds and then maintain that weight.

    My small frame and skinny legs have always been a negative point in male-mode, but they now work to my advantage in the female world!

    Masculine of center in a female body over here. Trying to avoid using labels in describing myself, but if I were to use them, I'd say I'm genderqueer leaning very much to the masculine side of things. Would consider going on T and getting top work done, but nothing else. And yeah,MFP doesn't seem to be the most accepting place for people with 'non-conventional' fitness goals. People don't seem to appreciate my quip that I am lifting to become manlier.

    I keep assuming I've posted here, but it appears I never did! GQ, trying to make my body more masculine and seriously debating top surgery. I'm most comfortable dressed somewhere in the middle, although I usually stick with men's clothing because I like the cuts better.

    I'm always happy to meet other trans people, and if you like weightlifting too, all the better!

    I'm super trans-friendly, but not trans myself. We need more trans support in the LGBT community.

    I am not trans* but I am a HUGE supporter. I'm finishing my psychology degree and used it as an opportunity to educate my classmates (and my therapist) about the changes in the diagnosis from "Gender Identity Disorder" to "Gender Dysphoria" in the DSM-V. I firmly believe that by educating people (especially future therapists/psychologists) I can assist them in compassion and understanding.

    My partner and I are hoping to start fostering LGBT kids in the next year or so, and we are very much hoping to be able to help trans* kids/teens because we both are keenly aware of the struggles they face with family discrimination. My partner is genderfluid/butch/queer but has a great amount of family support. :)

    I'm just starting on here and looking for friends, so feel free to add me!

    Also not trans, but a pan lady, and my best friend is ftm and I'm close with several other trans/genderqueer men and women/individuals. Transphobia and transmisogyny is the easiest way to get on my bad side.

    Oooh yay trans* people thread!!

    I'm Keagan and I'm FTM, though I am very feminine in my gender expression! :D I go by male pronouns and have lived as male for five years.

    I've been on HRT for almost 10 months and am currently prepping for my top surgery. My surgeon says I should aim to lose 20-30lbs by my surgery date which is either in June or July, so i'm working hard at it.

    If anyone wants to be buddies feel free to message me! c:

    Hi everybody,
    My name is Carol and I'm a 68 year old trans woman. I transitioned in the 70's (seems like the Dark Ages now) and now that I have retired I am an activist on the trans scene in the UK and especially in the area where I live, working with my local police authority to educate about transphobia and also within various NHS committees.
    I also do voluntary work on a national suicide helpline and also work on the helplines of a very proactive LGBT organisation here in the South West of the UK.
    Oh, and besides all that I am the treasurer for our local Pride organisation.
    It's a wonder I have time to eat, never mind diet and exercise lol

    Me too! The person that gave birth to me is FtM trans with a lovely pansexual wife. I am keenly aware of their struggles both socially and economically (both are disabled). They are two of the most loving, compassionate individuals on the planet. I consider it a privilege to be part of such a diverse family. <3

    I'm in the grey zone of transition, MtF. I had a good run a year back dropping 20 pounds using this app. I let myself go do to stress at work , but I am back with a vengeance.
    I am glad to see that we are everywhere. :)

    I was just going to start a similar thread, but since there's already one here, maybe it's more civil to bump it out of its 7-month slumber. I'm Angela, MTF trans, living in Vancouver BC with my kick-*kitten* wife, two cats and a terrible dachshund. I'm a pretty consistent logger and always looking to add new MFP friends, trans or otherwise.
