I planed on answering you later anyways. I just have stuff to do and really don't feel like spending the majority of my time on this account. This account is only for MR posting. I love my main and socializing too much to give it up. :)

I definitely have both good and bad stories of feminists to share. Not all feminists are bad, thankfully. As for MRthrowaway122? Yeah. That's the reaction I normally get from feminists. And women in general. And unlike their claim, I have no interest in having children and will be having surgery to remove my reproductive organs. Which I kind of hope they do, too.

I'm not sure if you realize that I haven't transitioned yet, despite my putting it in my post. If you realize it, then I don't know how to answer your question. Unless you're asking about how people treat me as male once they learn I'm trans.

Throw in a handful of "My son isn't gay! He's attracted to WOMEN" outbursts and I'd swear you were my mother in law. Hey MiL! You coming out for Thanksgiving this year? By the way, people like you just aren't worth the energy that stalking requires. Not even cyberstalking. So please stop flattering yourself.

I'm trying to find the articles that explain it. It was touched on in the article about the man who was born and developed as a woman without anyone ever realizing it. It's been a couple years since I read them and I'm having trouble finding the specific ones I want to link to. I'm also trying to catch up on responses to everyone, but it's getting harder to.

I believe I already answered this question earlier? Someone else asked it, I think. The answer is yes, I would, if they didn't cling to the bitterness towards the rest of the world. I don't think I could handle a very intimate relationship with an FtM who is struggling as much as I am. I downward spiral off other people who are going through the same issues I am sometimes, and that's very unhealthy for me. I'm getting better about it, but I still have a lot of work to do.

Because it's not a 'neutral' shape. There have been men who their bodies never made the transition in the womb. They only learned they were men upon having problems conceiving. Did they have menstrual cycles? I don't remember. And I'm having trouble finding the article I read about it. It's pretty rare, but it has happened on more than one occasion.

Yeah. It's often used to test for endometriosis. I'm a high risk for it and it seems I have it. Which since I have no intention of having children, is a great thing for me. It means my health insurance will cover a hysterectomy. Still working towards getting the diagnosis. It'll take a couple more shots before we can move on to further testing to determine it. Most likely around my fourth shot they'll cut me open for exploratory surgery to see if there's any evidence of it in my body. Unless you…

Even more of a reason for me to move to Canada. More and more I find myself wanting to move there. But I'm torn, I also really want to move to Berlin because I'm a large chunk of German and that's the heritage I personally feel the closest to. Didn't Germany recently legalize gay marriage as well? I could've sworn I saw something in the news about that. Haha. Sorrry for getting a little off topic.

That's exactly why the L comes first. It's like the L are the gatekeepers and if you aren't the kind of person they want you to be, then fuck you and fuck off. That's been almost all of my experiences with LGBT communities. And I've had quite a few.

As a followup, would you say that your experiences as a woman were common amongst women, or outlier results as a transitioning man? Many of the issues I've faced I believe are common among women. But a lot of those issues I believe have been created or exacerbated by women. I'm currently not transitioning. I have health problems that need to be sorted out before I can start.

Yes. I didn't meet my father until I was around eighteen. I was primarily raised by my mother's mother. She played the role of mother, father, grandmother, and grandfather. [My grandfather died when I was an infant.] My grandmother grew up during the great depression, in a fairly conservative family. She's been the most supportive of all of this, and has never tried to tell me I'm something I'm not. My mother, on the other hand, displays a lot of transphobia in my presence and keeps trying to co…

Most of my negative experiences with men haven't been specifically MRA related. Most have been with bigots, ultra-conservative bigots, and college boys who haven't yet realized how to treat people decently. [Don't get me wrong, I've had just as many awful experiences with college girls, but you asked about my experiences with men.] Female society had a lot of stuff going on. A lot of women seem entirely unaware of the true GIRL POWER agenda. Misinformation leads to them supporting male oppressio…

Acceptance is easier to find on the internet, but a lot harder to find in real life. And some of the most accepting people on the internet can turn out to be the biggest bigots in real life. I don't get that. Thank you for your supportive words! I hope to help MRA at least a little. Of course, my experiences are my own. MMV. But I've seen a lot of crap from both sides of the gender gap.

The other FtMs I've spoken with have said they considered giving up trying to assert their identity. That they almost surrendered to the extremist feminist movement to try to be treated better because obviously they weren't allowed to be men. I've heard from FtMs and MtFs alike that FtMs tend to have a much higher suicide rate, though I haven't known enough to know if that's true, and I don't think any statistics on that would be reliable because of how many FtMs are only out to a couple of peop…

Like most people I have the potential to be an asshole, but overall I'm usually a pretty decent guy. I'm usually only a real asshole in retaliation after reasoning fails and walking away is hard [like when they continue to pursue you and just won't leave you alone].

I think it's equally difficult for both FtM and MtF, but they're different difficulties. I've had terrible experiences with female society as an FtM, and after transitioning, I won't be expected to live up to the standards they place on each other. However, I'll be fully entering the struggles that men face. Though I'll be glad to step mostly out of the awkward and often incredibly painful struggle of being a trans.

One of my cats had his number mixed up with a dog. That's okay, though. I love my dog-like cat anyways. Though using dogs and cats in that reminds me of a movement I witnessed some extreme furries try to kick off when I was a young teen. They wanted to be respected as "trans-species". They got the idea after I finally told them I was transgendered. I'm fairly certain it was done just to mock me.

Haha, I've been told that by a lot of guys when they find out I'm transgendered. Other FtMs that have fully transitioned recommend not going much larger than my clit will become on testosterone. To stay on testosterone for longer than 'average' and wait for my body to really take on its shape as a man and to stay like that for a while before having surgery.

Because I've never identified as female. I don't really consider it changing from a woman to a man. I see it as becoming what I am. Like a late, second puberty that will make all the difference. That's what many transitioned trans have told me what it's like, too. Like going through puberty again. I feels like I was born with a horrible deformity and that I can't feel like a whole person until I correct that. [Feminists like to go "That's not transgenderism! That's male oppression!" It's not.]

It depends on where you live and whether those people know you're transgendered. All the ones I've spoken with so far seem to have the exact same experiences I have. All the bullshit from female culture to live up to GIRL POWER and bullshit standards. All the harassment for not fitting in.

Just make sure you respect them as the gender they identify as. People who blatantly ignore mental gender over physical gender can cause irreversible self-esteem and confidence issues in an already struggling transgendered person.

Agreed. However, I've always felt something extra that wasn't physically there. When seeing a [very very good] psychologist as an older teenager, I expressed this to him. He had a theory, and consulted several physician colleagues of his, but wouldn't tell me what it was until he had several professional opinions on the matter. His theory was that with some transgendered people, there exists a type of 'phantom limb syndrome' much like that of amputees. What I experience is along those lines. I h…

You'll forgive me for even having to ask, but when you say you identify as homosexual, do you mean you are a FtM attracted to men, or a FtM who is attracted to women? I just ask because I don't know how comfortable you are - how far down self-exploration road you've gone - and if there's cognitive dissonance between your gender identity and your sexual identity, I'd rather nip it in the bud here.

Considering the fact that I don't really have any desire to 'hook up' with anyone and have been in a stable relationship for nearly a decade with the same man, that's not really a concern of mine.

I am unfortunately still female. I haven't begun transitioning yet due to hang ups in my overall health that need to be sorted out first. Quoting my response to another comment like this. Female = My physical gender Male = My gender identity Gender identity trumps physical gender. You go by gender identity and not physical gender. Homosexual MtF means they're a girl that likes girls.

They don't try to change those parts of me. We just try not to focus on the things we disagree on.

Pretends to be. I should've said 'pretends to be'. The ones in the area I grew up were very good at what we called "southern hospitality".

Not all feminists are lost. I have several friends who self-identify as feminists.

So far I've found the opposite. Surprisingly, it's the deeply religious women I find the most tolerance with. Even though our faiths and lifestyles clash.

Well, unless this is minority hour in MR, I can see the jerks don't represent the majority! Thank you for the warm welcome!

I'm not disappointed either. I'm surprised with how quickly everyone responded, though!

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I haven't even been able to start hormones yet, so you're farther along than I am. In fact, I had to start getting depo shots because my female parts hate me as much as I hate them and it's made my breasts bigger and it really makes me feel that much more disgusted with this body.

I appreciate the welcome and the offer. Though most of my ranting and upset with being transgendered is almost the same as a lot of the feminism complaints you find around here. Except I happen to look like them on the outside.

Gay men tend to get treated differently than gay women. Gay women for the most part seem to be accepted but gay men... From what I've seen gay men get thrown to the wolves outside of certain areas. I think anything that challenges a man's right to be treated as a man or even just a person is a MR issue, whether it's a man's right to love another man or otherwise. That said, I don't think MR should get overly involved. If that makes any sense. And honestly, that does frighten me. Especially becau…

Life as a woman is NOT easier. Women are horrible to each other. They rip each other apart just as badly as they rip men apart. I don't identify as female, but even I get screwed up and upset by the female standards they place on other women, and feel very pressured to live up to them.

Well, I definitely have the physical responses to stimulation that I'm not terribly worried about after I start getting hormones. The biggest issue with that implant, I think, is that I still haven't decided whether or not I'm going to have them put in testicular implants. From my research and conversations with other FtMs, from what I can see, titanium is the most popular material, and for some it can end up sagging badly within just a few years. I have a compromised immune system and I don't w…

I like proving others wrong about their ability to get along with people who have views opposite of their own. I've actually made friends with a handful of bigots. As long as we stay off the topics we disagree on and are respectful of each other, I don't see why I can't be friends with a religious transphobic homophobe.

I've been wanting to talk with a MtF for a while. Compare notes, offer support to each other.

Well, I haven't started transitioning yet, unfortunately. I have some health problems that need to be taken care of before I can start hormones.

Check them at the door? I had to check them before leaving the womb, man. Not fun. Still trying to find out what happened to them. But yeah. Joking aside? I have the potential to be an asshole but overall I'm a pretty decent and loving person. Like most other people I meet.

As a victim of misandry, that is one thing I definitely don't want to spread. Personally I find it more offensive than the misogyny I've had to deal with. Though that might just be because I identify as male and not female. What I want most is to have full equality between all genders [including non-binary genders] and to stop those who spread hate against other genders and watch them fall off their high horses and stop preaching hate.

I identify more with the MR crowd than I do the transgendered and LGBT crowds.

Well, I am short and I'm a dark haired ginger. Aren't those also traditionally feisty traits?

I've seen some posts by women [at least I think they're women] who are studying MRA or that have seen men in their lives being oppressed. But I hadn't seen anything really about transgenderism or homosexuality. Thanks for your welcome.

I've peeked in there. Still doesn't appeal much to me. Is it weird that I feel more at ease dealing with the bigotry that opposes my equality than with the majority of the people who support my rights?

Nah, I don't freak out about that kinda stuff. Hell, I have to remind myself that other people have lower TMI thresh holds than I do. I don't want to have ridiculously large genitalia, but an automatic erection button would be really awesome!

I don't recall seeing either topics discussed in MR since I've been lurking and started posting. I was more concerned with religious sensitivities. I haven't seen much religion discussed here, either. That and again, I've had a lot of bad reactions from coming out to people before. Not only bad reactions from women, though I've had a better success rate with men.

Well, I'd love to tell them, lol. I'm wondering if I should make a new post with some of them? Or maybe a AMA? I'm not entirely sure how to go about this in here, lol. And I wasn't expecting so many responses so quickly!

I'm not worried about trans bigots. My mother and uncle are like that, my step-father is doing his best to understand it and be supportive, my grandmother is super supportive. I've run into more bigots than those who are accepting. I've gotten pretty good at pushing their buttons right back and not letting it get to me.

While I am FtM and I identify as homosexual, I don't identify as a member of the LGBT community, and I don't feel very comfortable among the general transgendered community. You think feminists are bad? Try being a homosexual FtM that doesn't fit the standard image. The LGBT community isn't nearly as accepting as they appear to be. At least in my experiences with them.

Being open as a MRA is more difficult when you have a female body. The way most women respond to it is infuriating and insulting. I've always found more acceptance from men when it comes to this.
