Transitioning

[jennyjoan]

A programme on the above - you know - man wants to become woman and woman wants to become man. These people are married - some of them have stuck by their side to their partners - would you.

Me - I find it so sad

[Sqad]

rowan...have i told you about Trevor?

[Peter Pedant]

// sqad 07:07 "could" should have read "couldn't"...obviously ;-)//

o mi god, sqad mis-speaks !
Mr president - your disease is spreading like wildfire!

[rowanwitch]

Can't remember, but tell again

[Sqad]

rowan...Trevor...one year ahead of me in the 6th form, he was accepted at King's College hospital and got digs in Willesden Green. I followed the follpwing year after being accepted at the London Hospital and he contacted me asking if i would share digs with him.
First night, he got into my bed and ...well, you can guess what he tried on, but it was all new to me and It did nothing. He get a bit agitated when i didn't respond and the upshot (sorry pun not intended) was i left and when to the Student's Hostel in Whitechapel.
We kept in contact but he went to the U.S and did pediatrics. he married a girl who, I think, went to the same school as Barmaid LOL.
Trevor and i met up in Barcelona some 10 years ago and recounted almost all, our memories.
That was my first and last experience of male homosexuality.

[ummmm]

It'll be the end of the marriage for me. My OH would look ridiculous as a woman.

[rowanwitch]

That's the difference between us Sqad, I would have said ok

Ummm, you might look ok as a bloke, a bit boyish maybe

I did full man drag once, it was fun, but not something I needed

[ummmm]

I think it's harder for men to look feminine.

[rowanwitch]

The hardest thing to change is the way you move, , it's often the giveaway. Women tend to lead with their hips men with their shoulders.

[naomi24]

Should trans men have to 'try'? I mean, if they're genuinely born in the wrong bodies, wouldn't feminine characteristics come naturally to them?

[Old_Geezer]

Possibly not, with experience of a male body their miswired brain is rejecting. I don't think it's an all or nothing mismatch.
