Who am I? I just don't know

#1

Hi I'm Justine and here is my story. I might get a little bit longer and I apologize for that.

I think, no I know, I have a problem with my gender identity.

Some of my earliest memories are of me dancing in my sisters ballet outfit in our living room. I was about 4 or 5, at that time my parents thought it was kind of cute. During my childhood I did all those things a boy is supposed to do, sports and getting it to trouble, but guess what, it never felt right. I played soccer 'cause I was expected of me. I watch sports, because this is what little boys do. I did some martial arts, because boys. Deep inside I was not, I watched my sister and her friends when we picked them up from ballet classes and wished I could be part of that.

But I pushed so feelings away, I was a boy, the son of a proud father.

Fast Forward a couple of years, to me being 11 or 12. I some how managed to survive, fleeing into the vritual worlds of early videogames truly helped.

On day I was home alone, doing my houshold chores, folding laundry, I found a bra of my sister that some how got mixed in with my laundry. I never really paid attention to this garment. But holding it in my hands I was fascinated. It was some soft and pretty and so different from everything I had in my closet. I decided to keep it and hide.

For the next couple of weeks I would look at it and touch it. Fighting the urge to put I on. Finally I gave in and did was those inner voice screamed into my ear. I was at same time amazed and disappointed. Amazed because it felt some much better than I thought it would. I have to admit it was in some way sexually arousing, but mostly it was a freeing experience and a a relief somehow. I felt light and whole, maybe for the first time in my live.

But it was also disappointing, because there was nothing to fill the cups. There was just my flat boyish chest, no breast.

Over the next couple of weeks, whenever I was home alone, I would wear the bra and to counter the emptiness of the cups, I would use waterballoons. Then it hit me again and some other inner voice started whispering in my ear: why am I doing this? Why does this feel so good and so right to be wearing this feminin garb? I'm a boy, almost a teenager?

I'm a the son of a proud father. I'm good at sports, I play soccer, because this is what boys do!

So I pushed my feelings away and tried to be the best tenage boy of all time, good in school, good at sports and a good with the girls. Always getting the compliments that I knew how to talk to them, that I understand them. If only they would know how much I understood and how much I was suffering on the inside.

Then came something that changed everything, something that should be the greatest moment in a young persons life, your first love.

She was amazing, she was everything a boy could wish for in his first girlfriend. And she was also everything I wished to be. Discovering sex was the first time in my life that I didn't despise my male equipment, because I gave my some form of enjoyment. This helped me to cope with the difference between my inside me and my outside me.

I dicovered porn and watched it, after awhile I switched to girl on girl, because I would always fantasize about being one of them and having sex with guys didn't appeal to me....yet.

The lastet quit sometime, trough my whole teenage years to be honest. Nature was kind to me, but also cruel depending on the which side of me looked at it. I grew tall, muscular, strong and hairy. My voice got really deep.

I was and am, if you look at me, a healthy specimen of a male human being.

Inside I was dying with every inch I grew, with every octave my voice dropped, with every hair I grew on my body.

But I somehow survived fleeing from reality into games, films, comics, a healthy dose of girl on girl porn and my dreams and imagination.

Oh I should mention this was way before the internet, way before the world had opened up. And on top of that I lived in a small town and didn't know where to go, or who to talk to.

Then I graduated and went to university, I got my own place, left my old life behind and started knew. Being the son of a proud father I was convinced to get an degree in a field that would provide money and power.

It was expected of me to find a girl, settle down, start my own family.

Didn't happen, I had affairs, nothing lasted longer than 6-10 months.

And one day I found this catalog in my mail, It was delivered to me by mistake, it was a mail-oderd catalog for lingerie.

Running up the stairs to my place I thumbed through it. I was fascinated by what I saw, I had never occured to me to order something by mail.

I ordered something, that to me besides a bra is the most female piece of lingerie, a black garter belt, the matching panties and stockings.

And then the incredible, excrutiating wait began. Remember this was still the time of snail mail.

Then one day I got my priced package in the mail. Unwrapping its contants felt like heaven, my heart was racing, my breathing was faster. I put the garter belt on with trembeling fingers and it fit like a glove.


By chance I discovered there was a store in the city that catered to crossdresser, tansvestites and transsexuals.

I went there and was in heaven. I met some like minded people and went on a shopping spree.

Soon I would have more female then male clothes.

Everyday once I was in my own apartment, I would dress in female clothes. Yes there was something fetishistic about it, something sexual, but I always felt whole, relaxed, like myself being dressed as a woman.

Then I moved and I stood in front of my closet and the voices, the male voices inside me screaming incredible loud.

What was I thinking and doing? I was a guy, a dude and I was the son of a proud father.

So I packed everything up and threw it out and repressed my feelings for the next few years.



It worked for a while, but then it came back with a vengence. It discovered that in the last few years there was an onslaught of shops that openend online, that catered to people like me.

And soon I was getting more and more feminine after work. The whole the nine yrds. Skirts, blouse, heels, dresses, lingerie, corsets, heels, wigs. I lerned how to do my make-up.

And to my surprise I discovered, that I wished for my penis to go away. I still enjoyed girl on girl scenes, but I started looking at „normal“ porn. And I always pictured myself being the woman.

And she/I became more and more real. I gave myself a new name and develop an online life.

People knew me as a girl. It was freeing and the more I developed my female persona online, the more I suffered in reality.

I had and have an amazing job, I was and am a respected member of society and my family, but deep inside that was no longer me. It was and is a mask.

To make it short, this continuited for some time. I would try to push my female, my true self aside, but she would always be back. I got married and divorced.

Was I sad? Yes, but also reliefed, because as much as a tried I was never feeling like a husband.

Now I’m back to shadding my male mask every night I come home.

I’m seeing a psychologist, but some how he can’t believe my feelings.

„You are to manly“ is what he said. But you see I’m not. I just became very good a pretending to be a man.

I somehow feel trapped and I don’t know what to do. I feel I missed out on my true life and I don’t know if there is a way that I can change that. I tried very subtly to find out what my surroundings think about transsexuals, but I only discoverd missunderstanding, mockery and fear.

So now I caught between a rock and a hard place, give up everything become the woman I’m supposed to be or continue living masqueraded as a dude and live out my feminine side in unfulling secrecy.

I seriously don’t know how much longer I can keep up with this.

Who says those are your only choices?

I'm not being flip; it's a serious question. But you need the answer to that question more than I do.

Justine honey, I would suggest you get in touch with your local LGBT support group ( locally here for me it was part of the local AIDS group ). I am sure that once you have the chance to meet up with some like minded folk face to face, it will help put some of desires into perspective. I know lots of us have days were we want all or nothing, and these desires, thoughts and other issues keep churning over and over in our heads. You will find quite a few of us can quite successfully lead double lives, not all of us can transition successfully due to family commitments and work issues. Its important to balance our lives out the best we can.

Maybe even a local support group like this one http://xpressions.org/ ?

There is hope, there is a future that will help you find some piece from within.

Jamie.

To quote my best local trans friend, "Welcome to being Trans". She has said that to me at least a dozen times in the last last year when I've talked to her sobbing over some crisis I'm in, "wall" I hit or realization I had. Your story is typical. I've been there myself and I can see it in your writing, when you get to a point where you just can't, "NOT do anything anymore", something gives and something has to change. Anyone who is trans has been in your shoes. At some point, I bet you'll, "over-center" and then simply quit resisting what you've known intuitively your whole life and start making things better for yourself no matter what the cost. When the price for maintaining the facade is equal to the price for changing everything, ...everything changes. I can't say with any certainty if you are there or not but it looks like you're getting close - only you will know for sure but I can tell you, most find enormous relief in letting go of the fake and embracing the real.

My advice is to find a TG support group or TG wise counselor, write like crazy if that's your thing, get on PM if you can (for the mental benefits at least) and start sorting things out. We are here to help but all we can do is respond to you - you have to write to get support and insight. I'd love to help as would many others I'm sure. We're all in this together. WELCOME to being trans!

What Kari Leigh wrote is so very true. For every transgender person who is experiencing gender dysphoria, there is a threshold of pain beyond which living the lie is impossible to bear. It can happen as a child, or take years to discover, but when it's reached you'll be willing to risk everything for relief.

Thank you so much for your kind words, they are quiet helpful and soothing.
Knowing I'm not alone out there is really good.
it is just so damn confusing and I, shamefully, have to admit there were moments were I contemplated ending it all, just so that the suffering is over.
I looked a little bit around and lo and behold there is actually a support group in the next town over. And if I have the guts I will go their next meeting.

But it is still so difficult and confusing, all these voices in my head shouting and screaming at me. My male body and my female psyche are at war and it drives me nuts.

You know what the "fun" part is, I'm trained in the field of psychology and of while studying I lerned about gender dysphoria, but of course I cannot give myself therapy.

I actually thought about specialising in the field, but then went I diffrent route.

And of course there is always the question nagging: why me? Why was I born this way?

I hate it, I hate these feelings and sometimes I feel like screaming all day long.

Sorry for rambeling and sorry, if my english is sometimes weird, it is not my mothers tongue.
I'm actually from Germany.

Thanks again for your answers and your time.

Love,

your confused Justine. Blush

Chances are, there's a "club" for people like us in your area. I used to belong to one where gay, trans or CD people would get together one night a week for dinner and chat at a local gay eatery. See if you can find one to join. If there isn't one, maybe try to get on Craigslist and start one! We have a local entertainment paper that weekly tells you where such meetings might take place. They have something called, "Outrageous Bingo" where we'd get together once a month dressed as we please and play bingo!
As for your particular story; I've been pretty much like you most of my life, I was already showing it by the age of 2! But, I never felt the need to do what boys do JUST because I happened to have a "Boy" membership card between my legs!! I've never been into sports and don't much go in for rough and tumble, slap & tickle bouts. My thing has always been records, which, when I was little, was mostly seen as a girl thing!! I DID like girls!! Still do!! But, on one hand, I want be WITH a girl, the way a guy does, and, on the other hand, I want to BE a girl!! I'd LOVE to have a romantic/sexual relationship with a girl AS a girl, but, I'd also love to do so with a guy and eventually get preggers and pound out a few units.
Unlike you, I've NEVER closeted my girl half!! I don't mean that I let her out all the time...I WISH!!!! I just mean that I never suddenly got rid of all my girl stuff and shunned it for years at a time.
As for girl on girl porn, I don't know if you've ever seen any of them, but Ed Powers has a series out called, "Cockless", which I LOVE and, as far as I'm concerned, are the BEST pornos out there!! I've only got number 2 and 6, but haven't been able to find any of the others, yet. In the ones I have, it's only two girls per session, sometimes just one, and, when it IS two girls, they seem to be VERY genuine and actually feel love for each other!! It's GREAT!!!! Sometimes Ed takes a chance to stick a finger in, but that's it as far as guys being involved...that and seeing him shooting the video from time to time and giving a bit of direction. Mostly, he just gets the girls together, eventually tells them to just go ahead and do what they want and they take it from there! After seeing my first one (number 2), it actually made me want to throw away ALL my other porn videos!! They just CAN'T compare to this!!
I WISH I could tool around the house and in public in girl mode, but, that's not possible, at the moment. I DID, however, get it in SOME public forum, as in, dressing fem for my band's gigs!! My fans not only loved it, they INSISTED I do it and were genuinely cheesed off if I didn't!! Sadly, the band broke up 10 years ago and I can't seem to put another one together for flakey musos that SAY they want to be in a band like the one I want to do, but never bother to follow through with it!!
Take care!! And, good luck with getting what you want out of life!!

Thanks WantAPair for your kind words.
There is no such Club around here. Sad
But as I said there is a support group and I will go to there next meeting in about two weeks.

On the weekends, when I'm in my house I'm in girl-mode now all the time, unless I have to go outside, then I put on my boy mask.
I live in the country and the people around here would not react to nicely to my femine me. Sad

In Germany it is really difficult to find a good counselor who has experience with gender dysphoria. I know of two who are about 2 hours by car, but they are both booked solid for the next 6 months.

Hopefully someone at the support group knows one.

Kari Leigh mentioned getting on PM. On how much would I start?

What changes can and will I aspect?

This is super specific but it's MY recommendation. Others opinions may vary

http://www.ainterolherbs.com/ainterolspu...-p-46.html

Start with 1 pill per day in the morning for 1 week, then switch to 2 pills per day morning and night for a week, then 3 per day, 2 in the morning and 1 at night or spread evenly throughout the day. Hold there for a month or two and see how you feel. The impact will vary but many report a decreased interest in sex, porn and masturbation. A decrease in the NEED to cross dress, decreased irritability and aggressiveness and an all around calming feeling. Physically, you my or may not experience breast tenderness in that short time frame.

Of all the things you could do, I bet the support group will do more for you than any other thing you could try. The only way I've ever heard of surviving what you're going through is to TALK (or write) your way through it. Most, but not everyone, need a professional counselor. Peer support is priceless and in a few cases, all that's needed so long as the group have a couple stable participants who are a few steps ahead of you.

I prefer to err on the side of caution. See maybe about starting out at 1000 for a 4-6 weeks. Then if everything is going well with no ill side effects, increase to 1500 for another 4-6 weeks. After that if everything is still going well, maybe hold at 2000. I'd would recommend splitting your dosages equally throughout the day to allow for better absorption.

Most important thing is to listen to your body, and monitor yourself to make sure you're doing okay.

Everybody is different, but some changes that may occur could be a sort of mental balance. That is what some claim has helped with their GD. Some physical changes could be the development of breasts. I am currently unaware of any other feminization. Oh, there is also a possibility of your libido being reduced as well.

Good luck with everything and take care of yourself. Smile
