I am an eastern male homosapien but not a homosexual.

I treat everyone equally and fairly ...

I thought I was a male but I keep getting told I'm a girl so this confuses me!

Guys and gals and etc,

For a few of us, all this gender stuff is a big deal and quite scary. I just wanted to say that, for someone who had gender issues for a long time, it was refreshing and encouraging to read many of the comments on this thread.

I'll be recovered and back on the bike hopefully from tomorrow so maybe see you around.

You are good peeps.

Thanks

Rachel x

Amount spent on a haircut?

£15, today, by the same person who's been cutting it in Bath since 1979.

Male? Although after last night's soft bits/top tube interface, it may no be the case for long. 😐

I was born male but have now been living in the south of England for over 25 years, so am now displaying clear female characteristics.

I'm too much of a gentleman to even [i]think[/i] about posting that question! Anyhow, I know that the money was spent on correctional surgery to 3dvgirl's skull, as she herself confirmed in a thread a couple of weeks or so ago, so I'm sure that we can all accept that she's all the girl she says she is. 😀

I`m guessing that as the OP has titanium bits holding her face together this was some form of correctional surgery rather than just vain cosmetic surgery?
thats the one...

In my defense, it's not my thread title. No offence meant. 😀

I don't think you can pay for gender re-assignment can you?

@ Rachel

We start as teenagers with broad minds and narrow waists. In our thirties this reverses. Later still we get the time and experience to re-think.

I hope you can find support here while you have your outside matched to the heart and soul within. Thanks for having the courage to share.

Go, girl.

Nice one slowoldgit. As a long term visitor here (but not a bighitter (TM) ) I think I'm pretty clued up about ATG, but fell shy of commenting. So +1 to your comments which put it better than I ever could.

I'm a 4-ish male on that scale. I like sport but not fighting, just as happy with wine vs beer, crap at growing a Mo or beard, and I cry at sad things and happy things all the time.

£15, today, by the same person who's been cutting it in Bath since 1979.

Probably due a rest break soon.

@samuri - you can pay privately for surgery but the same WPATH Standards of Care must be met before the surgery can take place. So, that means demonstrating to two different gender specialists, consistently for at least one year, that you understand the one-way nature of surgery* and desire the end result.

Once you have the two signatures, you can either join the long queue on the NHS and wait another year or two or pay around £13000. There are only two surgeons in uk so you get either one privately or not.

* or, as one of the specialist psychs likes to say, "it's easier to make a hole than a pole..."

That's interesting, thanks.

Just for more interest, I'm not sure why but where I work, at one point we had three people going through this process *in the same department* of about 250 staff, all male to female.

Maybe we offered it as part of the benefits package. 😉

I sometimes work with a young teenager who is dealing with similar fears and have found your honesty and positivity on this site very useful.

Somehow reminds me of a friend who has a brilliant drag act that requires him to *grow* a beard!

Scary, very scary...

I confess to being intrigued by the whole gender thing, and have a number of rambling questions which, although I would ask in a general way, would end up being personal.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask them...

Bunnyhop - Thanks 🙂 I'm not getting very far on the bike yet - just a few yards down the street. Damn thing hurts!! Will get there...

Crikey - this might sound a bit crazy but try listening to a friend's comedy set on Soundcloud. Actually seems to answer more questions than any pamphlet I've ever seen!! First 3 minutes or so is just noise - skip it.
