Cynic, you look pretty andro enough to pass. If I looked that good, I would be one happy bitch indeed!

I just shaved my legs and body yesterday. Goddamn process took me an hour and a half. I really hate it, and hope to god I can afford electrolysis and HRT soon.

I'm glad that I am not genderally obliged to shave my legs

Yeah, I'm wishing I hadn't spent most of my life becoming a fatass. That has been a nasty hindrance to a lot of my transition.

I'm so glad to hear this!:
California becomes first state in nation to ban 'gay cure' therapy for children - U.S. News
The damage this kind of "therapy" has had on kids has left me disgusted and up at night at times. The thought that people were using 19th century methods to psychology to "cure" gays is just so sickening to me...

Finally. That gay cure therapy crap has always made me angry.
90% of people where I live still act as if gay is some disease you can catch simply by spending too much time around them. I'm straight, but ignorance of such degree is unacceptable.

This is the first I've ever heard of this... After reading the article, I'm glad that it's starting to draw serious attention and getting a stop put to it. I mean hell, a kid who is gay can have just as much trouble and difficulty enough with losing his family and everything and wind up on the brink of suicide without such "therapy". Hell, I was at the point of suicide before solidly deciding I was gay and the select handful of family I am good with and close to knew it, but the half of the family that hated me didn't. I know it would have been a lot worse had they known...
But I am curious, what about this so called "therapy" is it that makes it so controvertial and dangerous to kids?

It's fundies that say you can "pray away the gay" and "cure" the kids of homosexuality. Basically it's brainwashing kids into thinking they can turn straight. It never works, and the backlash of it can have serious mental and emotional damage when the kid learns that they were born les/gay/bi/trans and that nothing can EVER change that.

It is the equivalent, damage wise, to telling a kid they aren't good enough or a POS all the time basically. For all I know they could do a lot worse though as well.

Oh yeah, I forgot to reply. It would be neat if you started one of those timelines (with pictures) from when you start HRT until, like, two years later. Would be really cool to see the transformation.

I grew up in Kansas and their never was a big gay is bad fad when i went to high school. Did things change in the last 10 years?

I plan to start one when I get started on hormones. For right now, I DO have a pic of what I looked like around this time last year (before I came out about it and started changing my appearance) and also a pic of what I look like now. It's definitely a work in progress and it will be a while before I'm where I want to be. I can post and put them side by side if you guys want.

Not sure of the whole of kansas, but here in the southeast region? Oh yeah, big change.
I lost about half my "friends" in high school when I befriended the only openly gay kid, and the only transgendered girl.
Never understood the big deal, really. Even my friends that stuck around wondered if I was gay, or secretly had some "tranny fetish".
Which I find to be stupid... On top of the fact that I veiw transmen/women in the same way as normal men and women.
Sure, If I began dating a nice woman who later revealed herself to me as being transgendered, i'd be a little upset. But only on the count of her being dishonest with me. But with the way most people react(often violently) when they find out... I cannot place much blame on them. transpeople and gays are just as normal as we straight people.
Then again, with what I just posted, i'm sure a load more "classic" straights would boot me from their circle.

^^ Bro i spent my life growing up betwix manhattan topeka and lawrence, those are pretty "liberal" towns in KS...Don't fret people that ditch you cause of your other friends they were never friends in the first place.

Its the smaller towns, most notably the one i'm from that seem the most backwards.
Topeka is where i'm moving to next year, btw.
And fuck the fake friends, they only hung around when they wanted shit from me. Ahh, that something about high-school that makes you miss it, and be glad you're well past it at the same time.
