Re: difference between a transgender and a transsexual
But, Lily, dressing isn't going to the change the fact that testosterone changes the body, especially after extended exposure. Dressing older or younger isn't going to change the body chemistry. If you're not on hormones I recommend you do so, or I think you will regret it.

Re: difference between a transgender and a transsexual
My friend Claire started transitioning when she was 26 and had to undergo intensive hormone therapy for a few years to attain the level of femininity that she wanted. Now she looks, sounds and acts fabulous. She's an elegant, very feminine and happily married lady and I love her to bits.
So you're right about not leaving it too late. But I do think you're kidding yourself, Lily, if you think you can successfully transition on a lifetime basis without resorting to hormones under medical supervision at some point, and the empirical evidence seems to indicate that the earlier you start, the more successful the results are likely to be.

Re: difference between a transgender and a transsexual
I think a lot of people don't understand the risks of HRT, it isn't just you take it and everything is completely changed. It's a long on going process that changes your body as a whole. In my opinion if you can pass without HRT there's really no point in taking unless you want to be self destructive. It pretty much changes your entire sex drive and the way you function. I don't see any reason why I would have to do it now if I feel ok and I'm not even on herbs.

Re: difference between a transgender and a transsexual
You're right, Amber, because with us guys, it's not just a growth in height, it's also a growth in mass, nothwitstanding all the masculine features that comes with it (before long, hair falls from your head -also because of testosterone, for me at 19- and starts coming out of your nose and ears, and also growing on your ears, on your back, shoulders, etc, etc)... You become rapidly some kind of grunting animal... lol
