To Be A Transsexual You Must Be On Hormones

I can't answer that but I want to read the girls' opinions. I mean, I guess a 20 something girl can pull that off (like TS Jesse) but what happens when they get older? All I can imagine is the testosterone kicking in, the hair starts falling, it starts coming out of weird places (ears, back, nose) and they might look like old men with boobs. Does any of you know any mature transwoman who was never on hormones?

I wouldn't mind hearing them speak on it. It's a sensitive issue and I ended up feeling it wasn't my place to start the thread. I felt a little queezy right after I hit the send button.

I agree with that....I made the decision to transition later in my life because of many factors....mainly to take care of my dad before he passed away & helping my mom out financially made me transition in 8/2008 at the age of 43....I am going to be 46 in 2 months & now trying to make up for all the years I lost because I had to be there for my family..I am blessed to have a good job with the Army as a contractor & happy many of my friends accepted me.....it is never too late to pursue to who you are.....I am proof of that.....I hope this post can help others who are in limbo get some hope that it is possible to be who you are.....may each girl be blessed with their journey & God bless, take care....

well, imo you are what you are in your head as much as anything else.

but there is a difference between a man in drag and a transexual too.

its a grey area, im not voting.

yes you are completely stunning! im a little shocked.

Who? To me, all the girls are beautiful.....I feel bad for the ones who are not as blessed, but it takes guts to go out to be who you are......
