Homosexuality

 (* The Dr. Phil site needs more variety. This is the best place I could find to post my problem.*)
    I almost envy you gay guys. I know its hard, but once you come out  you can go about finding 'someone'.
I'm transsexual. I like men; but instead of being happy as a normal straight girl my mind is fixed on becomeing a man. I cannot see myself loving a man as a woman. I know you all think I'm crazy for wanting the life of a gay man over a straight girl, and I agree. I've felt this way for a long time now and I'm pretty young, so I think this is built-in. Its problematic, I'm something of am extream sexest to women because of it and certain members of my family (grandpa) like to call me a dyke. T_T;
 I admit, I do try my hardest to look male; even to the point of degrading my health. But its no good. Looking like a man doent mean anything unless your anatomically one.
I need a little help; what should I do? Seek counciling? Persue it? Or should I just give up and put on a dress? I doubt I could ever afford the surgery (around $50,000 at least), and the result isnt exactlly 'good looking'. Most of all what and how should I tell my folks? My big sis knows and I think my mom does, but what about everyone else? I'm very confused...

   hi!!! iv'e been reading your posts lately( new member) and you've really inspired me!!! you're soo strong...i can't believe that someone who's SOOOO young has to deal with this!!! You're amazing... 

    i wanted to tell you that because you're so young that it may not be best to tell your family just yet.I feel that before you throw them something like that you should probably wait a while. I say this because of two things! when i told my mom about my sexuality...she didn't react well because i was so young. And two,as time went by she realized that my attraction's weren't just a faze( now that i'm going to college and am old enough to make my own decisions, it's become easier to talk to her about it.)Your family might be thinking that what yu're feeling is just a faze too!!! Over time they'll realize how serious you are about it . I'm not sure how your parents react to things so...my advice might be of no use to you T_T but...as time goes by , little by little you know, try to open that  "window" and get a little talk here and thereabout your feelings and/ or things relating to it so that when the time comes when you feel that you are ready to tell your family... it won't feel like as big of a shockto them because of the little talksyou've had . Hopefully you could get something from this and im not waisting your time...sorry if i am...i would love to hear from you soon and from the looks of your icon there( the anime guy) you seem like you'de be ALOT of fun:)

I can tell that this is weighing very heavily on your heart.  If one of my friends were going through this struggle, here's what I'd tell her . . . Whether we like to admit it or not, we are created beings.  I believe that God created us.  From what I read in the Bible, and from experiences in my own life, I (by faith) believe that God doesn't make mistakes because He is perfect.  He made you a lady, and if you're upset about that, you may be upset with God.  And I know that He loves you, provides for you, and sustains your health.  I'd like to encourage you that the God of the whole universe delights in your using your body the way he made it.  Sex is something God made for a man and a woman; of course, its purpose is for procreation, but God made it pleasureable as well:) 

 

I think you should tell your family about your struggle - accountability isn't neccessarily a bad thing.  You're not alone.  You can't exactly "trust" the way you feel; our bodies and minds are not perfect.  Read Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 37: you'll find great comfort knowing that God wants us to trust Him:)  And then, make a decision!  It's easier to have a purpose and goal in mind when you're dealing with something that affects your thoughts and actions.

Hi, I sort of know what you're going through. I was born female and around puberty I started to feel like a man, dispite being atracted to them. I started horomes and changed my identity at 18 and had chest surgery at 23, now I'm 25. THINK HARD before you do anything. You might want to put off any surgery untill later in life, after all you don't need it to change your idenity. It's a hard life, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy and I'm truly sorry if you end up haveing to live it. At age 25 I've never been on a date, never been kissed or even hugged by a guy. I probably never will. No one wants a F2M transexual, exept for people with fetishes who want just sex. I've learned this over 7 years of trying. About 2 years ago I was so despirit I thought maybe if I lose wieght and look really good, someone would have me, now I have an eating disorder. It gets worse, about a year ago my personality softened a lot and now I'm wondering if I could have been happy as a woman. Part of me has a strange but very strong desire to have a baby, I don't know why but I know it can never happen and when ever I see happy families with babies part of me dies a little. On top of that I've been haveing pain on the side of my abdomine, in an area that has only intestine and an ovary. The hormones I take give me a 1 in 4 chance of haveing polycystic overian syndrom, but even if I had medical insurence, its not like a man can go to a gynocologyst. That reminds me, polycystic ovarian syndrome can cause transgender feeling, so if you have insurece you may want to get checked. And then of course theres the fact the transgendered people are treated so badly. I'm very sorry to be so negitive, but I know you're going to hear people tell you they changed their sex and now everything is fine, and I want you to know it can go the other way. I wish someone had told me.
