General TG, TS, TV and sex change thread

[Like Ra]

Ra, I've not met one single transitioning or post op transwoman that had autogynephilia as a reason anywhere at all. 

OK, since I haven't seen any statistics I take it as granted. But! I never mentioned TS in my last two posts. What I wrote is:

Autogynephilia and the "responsibility burden" (clearly a psychological/social issue) can be the main reason for all the feminization/sissyfication/bimbofication hypno- and real-life fetishes, escapism (more "responsibility" related), etc.

See? No TS mentioned! 😉

However, I did see (on the Internet, on the TV) that someone on hormones mentioned love to the internal woman and love to all women in general. An exception?

And here:

And autogynephilia does resonate...

I was talking about myself. I can't say that I'm "obsessed" with femininity in general, but at least "fascinated" and "addicted" to it. Also in myself.

... or "obsessed" indeed? 😁 But I'm also "obsessed" with dicks. So, paint me autofutanariphilic 😁

When mentioning MTF transitions ("I think the autogynephilia theory does work, but it's just one of the reasons for MtF transitions") that generally means TS or others who transition and live outside the binary imposed by society, and do so full time. Others in the trans spectrum (or TG spectrum if one prefers) do not, it is something completely different (NOT that it is any "lesser" or whatnot, please everyone get that clear!). Generally CD/TV's etc do not take hormones or live full time (like something like 99% do not).

All that implies is that they are more comfy with themself now, and that they love women. I hated my assigned sex at birth, but I love myself a lot more now that I am free to live how I feel I should have.

Yes, you are right!

Exactly!!!!! I would also add trans-related surgery to that as well.

Just curious. Are there any successful (aesthetically "passable") m2f transitions without FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery)? All "sucsessful m2f" timelapse stories I've seen so far include FFS.

So, I've looked into this quite a bit because I too, identify as m2f trans, (though I am currently not doing anything about it).  From what I've seen, trans ladies lucky enough to have asian or some hispanic genetics stand a better chance of having aesthetically feminine cranial structures without surgery.  I'm not saying there have been successful transitions of these people without ffs, but if I were going to find such a success story, I might start looking in Thailand.

I have strong European genes and I'm 6'1".  There's no way I would be able to transition without ffs and even still, I would probably not be super passable with the size head, hands and feet I have.
