I'm a transboy. I can answer most things if you don't know how to word it in a google search or if you want personal stories or something.
Also, yikes, the hate against trans people by some people on this site... -
Question. If a Trans person becomes gay doesn't that defeat the point of even being Trans?

If you want to relate to some people try talking to puppetmaster12 and phoenix_pharoh.

Why do you call yourself a transboy instead of just a boy or a girl? Why create a word for what is a temporary transitional phase? Is it because, deep down, you realize that you're still just your original gender and that no amount of surgery or hormones will change that?
-
@unstopablepanda, well, not all trans persons are gay. Some like the opposite gender, some like the same gender. Trans isn't about liking genders. Gender and sexuality walk a fine line but they aren't the same thing.
@IHLAOY, well, I refer to myself, in real life and other social media, as a boy. I felt I needed to designate "trans" because a cis person giving trans advice is a big no-no. To the second part, no, I don't realise that. I was a lot closer to being a boy than a girl even before transition. My T level was off the charts so I didn't really have "girl" features anyway. -
Maybe I should clarify for the people in the back.
Transgender =/= sexuality. Just like you can be asexual (yep it exists and I'm a form of it) as cis, you can be Trans and ace. You can be trans and gay. You can be trans and straight.
I've known I was a boy since I was old enough to "understand" gender, which for me was about 3 or 4 years old. I used to ask my mom when I'd grow a thingy, and I never liked dresses, I refused wearing a bra, I've never worn panties, I never liked guys, or girls. I always got a boy toy when I went to McDonalds. I threw away the dolls my mom got me. I liked dinosaurs, I liked doing boy things. I started packing with a sock at 10. I mean, this wasn't an overnight decision, and it certainly wasn't for fun, because it has not been fun. -
Oh, so you're a tomboy? Hot. Shame you grafted a penis between your legs, I could swing that way.
I'm sorry, I just don't see the correlation between 'I like boy things' and 'therefore I AM a boy.' -
I agree with IHLAOY up to point. Tomboys are girls who prefer boy preferences and often have the appearance of a boy so I wonder, does that mean tomboys now don't exist?
-
No, tomboys are girls who want to be girls. They want to be boyish but they know they are girls and are comfortable with it.
I am not comfortable with being a girl. When I looked at my chest, I had panic attacks. When I knew I could never experience being a little boy, and going through boy puberty, I had long episodes of depression. I depersonalized, which is like zoning out only you're conscious and you can feel it. It's very disturbing. There was a point where I was so uncomfortable with my body I took to bulimia to get a more square figure. I still struggle with an eating disorder because of that. -
Also, am I right in assuming that, IHLAOY is a guy?
-
No. Female. It would make little sense for me to possibly swing 'that way' if I were male (though I suppose with you now possessing penis[?] it would be socially acceptable.) My culture has very few transsexuals, so I am having trouble wrapping my head around this concept.
So you are mentally ill? And changing genders is the treatment? Surely a problem in the mind must be fought in the mind, did you try other treatments before transitioning?
Did transitioning work? Do you now feel comfortable in your body? Do you still have a female frame or have you gained manly strength? Where did your breasts go? -
Oh, no. Transsexual and transgender is different.
1: I am mentally ill and transitioning did not fix that. I have diagnosed anxiety disorders, major depression, BPD and an eating disorder, but trying to juggle my feelings for myself along with it was extremely difficult, more so than it is now. My dysphoria about my body was a separate issue and sometimes it does come back.
I am much more comfortable now, yes. Female to male trans people have to take testosterone. That allows body fat to redistribute, cartilage in the neck (Adams Apple) to grow, and frame to shift. T will remove some breast tissue but to remove the glands themselves you have to have surgery. Two incisions below the nipple. That's called top surgery. Bottom surgery varies. -
To clarify: transsexual is transition for sexual pleasure (to each their own I guess), and transgender is due to internal discomfort
-
And actually, to fix the above stated, transsexual can refer to a transgender person who has changed their sex, but I've more commonly seen it in relation to fetishes and the like
