Yes hormones can produce dramatic changes. This is Jesslyn

After 8 months of hormones

This is her full story. From body building heavy metal guitarist to female heavy metal guitarist. I think during the transition she's swiftly gone from effecting femininity to being just as naturally and comfortably feminine as her body wants to be,

I think hormones take advantage of the fact that every 7 years about 90% of the cells in our bodies have been replaced with new ones. I thik the transformation process is fascinating.

There's a well know M2F collage professor who is sort of the poster girl for transgender.
Very successful in her career before and after, she's been on many shows talking about her changes and the entire process and has written an amazing book about her journey that should be required reading for students 13 and over.
It's a difficult and dangerous transition and the risks are not to be taken lightly but the drive to become, "You" is so powerful, many transgender folks are more than willing to accept the risks.
Reading her book was a life changing experience for me and I was very moved when I set the book down.
In my youth, it was cut and dried. Boy/girl. As I became a teen, there were others who were not in either category and so they were lumped in a group who were easy targets for bullies and jerks.
I'm pleased there is a new reality, a new set of truths but I still can't understand why I cut ties with this person I considered a friend?
Age and wisdom aren't the same thing, are they? I still become confused. Very much so at times.

You were probably scared off by not knwing how to tell her you didn't want to have sex with her because she has a penis. I would think telling someone that in a nice way that doesn't hurt their feelings is pretty difficult.

The notion of a male feminising while still being male is interesting and the results can be quite beautiful but I think I would only be interested in that or becoming a woman through gene therapy. http://mathialee.wordpress.com/2009/12/ … lar-level/

Then you could transition to being a woman and back again if you wish and would change hight as well as genitalia or settle on any androgynous point along that route you found most comfortable.

I guess there's something in that though it was just a pretty nice friendship and sex wasn't on the table. At least at that time. But I think perhaps the fact that I started looking at her in a different light, of seeing her as a female instead of a guy, was more than I could sort through.
I've had so much chaos in my life that I tend to gravitate to any peaceful refuge, be that a place or a person. She was so very happy moving on and I think I was hoping to catch a bit of that contentment, a portion of that acceptance of one's self. And she was one of those males who had the physical make up to transition into a very nice looking gal.
I tend to screw up my relationships with women. Call it a gift. I guess I'd rather part as a friend then something less.
I'll never figure this stuff out and anyone who does is either greatly gifted or deeply disturbed.
Or both.
I've had my evening coffee and now I'm tired. 'night folks.

Sorry I got that the wrong way round. I thought you met her as a lady and found out she was trans. You'll never figure out sex. Because sex is an art and humanity not a science. It's like saying I'll never figure this art out. With the arts we figure out what we like and we know the most about that but keep an open mind or ambivolence to stuff that doesn't reach us. The problem is our interactions with sex are so few, where as we meet thousands of people and hear thousands of songs and see thousands of paintings. So figuring out sex is much slower and in the abscence of any real communily shared discourse until the net came along. What if you'd only ever heard and sung 8 songs as duets in your life. in a society that never spoke about music you just had to figure it out, and that classically sung sonnets are normal, anything else like a beat or blues is weird and punishable. What a strange universe that would be compared to our present understanding of music. The net gives us a fantastic oportunity to correct that, with genuine sexual imagery, info and discussion.

Great post. Never thought in terms like that but what you write is spot on.
We start out as children with a small circle of interaction and we form our early life based on those relationships. As we move from age to age, group to group, the dynamic changes almost minute by minute. Without a center to revolve around, without a stabilizing influence, it's at best, confusing. At worst, uncontrolled insanity. The mixed signals. The abuse. The alienation. The lack of belonging. We are, after all, a social animal.
And sex between humans is like sex between spiders. A careful ballet that can end quite badly should you misstep.
I've learned more about sexual interaction from these posts than I ever learned in all the preceding years.
Is that pathetic? Sounds pathetic. What the hell. I enjoy being here and I enjoy the posts and that's pretty nice.
Being here is like being in a well stocked bar. There's all of this fine content from which to choose and a decent, well informed group of folks to chat with and I've become a lot less cynical. A lot less paranoid. Bu the day beckons and much to do. One more cup of coffee and I'm off.
Have a good day everyone!
