Admin,
Thank you for those words of encouragement, they are greatly appreciated.
The reason I have posted as much as I have is it is my therapy. The posting give me an outlet for the turmoil in my mind. This desire I have has been building for a very long time, as I'm sure it has for all the t-girls out there.
I am finally committed to transition and I'm pinning my hopes on Transfemme and using all that you have availble. I, too, hope this becomes THE place for TG/TS girls with lots of participation.
Karen

Hey there Karen, just like Richelle said, don't be discouraged in posting. In the grand scheme of things, this forum is still pretty new so it takes a little time to gain some traction
We agree there are a lot of people "on the fence" and sure do like to read posts before they have the urge to post themselves.
We do hope to turn this forum into a popular community for TG/TFs to call "home"!

Dear Richelle,
I am wondering if we should discontinue this thread. It is disappointing that no other ladies have joined in, despite repeated invitations to do so. I wonder why, out of 119 members, only a very few of us contribute to this forum?
I, for one, need some feedback or suggestions or some comment on what we write. There has been some 600+ views of this topic and I find it confusing that not a single "sister" has weighed in.
So, Let me know.
Your good friend,
Karen
DEAREST KAREN: There are others like us who are fence sitters. It took me a long time to get up the courage to write on this forum and to find you. You mentioned that this is your third time aproaching your transformation. So just have the faith and keep in touch.
SINCERELY YOUR DEAREST SISTER AND FRIEND RICHELLE

Dear Richelle,
I took your advice and made a separate thread in TS/TG Support. It's titled: Telling a Parent. Please let me know what you think.
Also, I sent you a private message yesterday, so check your inbox. I've checked mine and nothing from anybody yet. Which is indeed amazing considering the number of views we've had under this topic.
I would like to again invite all you who read these posts to join in with Richelle and me. We T-girls need all the support we can get. Believe me, we will support you as well. So don't be shy, let us hear from you. 
I'll check back here later. Your friend,
Karen
DEAR KAREN: I figured out the "PM" thing . I sent you some starter messages there to the three messages you sent to me.

Dear Richelle,
I'm sorry I had to be out of touch, even for a few days. I truly hope that you have had a good weekend.
Your last post was very touching. I hope you know that you are special to me as well.
Please check your inbox. And you know that you can "Private Message" me any time(the: send pm, link at the top of my postings). But on this forum topic, anyone is free to read. Which I welcome, and I hope doesn't embarrass you. 
I have lots to tell of my visit with my momma. I don't know if I should start a new thread, post it here, or post it on my introduction posting. What do you think?
My mind is a jumble of thoughts and ideas about this transition. It would be so easy to get ahead of myself and get scared all over again. Which you know caused my last purge and cost me nearly two years. Years where I probably could have achieved quite a measure of femininity.
I look forward to your reply.
Love,
Karen
DEAR KAREN: I had a fright. I couldn't log in. It took me several trys and I had to reset my password three times. I wonder if I pushed the wrong button on my computer and that is what caused my failures to log in. Maybe I pushed the "Insert" button or the "Control" button or the "Alt" button effecting my log in password. I thought what would you think that I just abandoned you. I saw that you were logged in but by the time I got the password thing resolved you had already logged off.
I tried to do a private message but came across the other stuff at the top of the "PM" page. Can you tell me what the other information is for . Is it required for sending a private message?
How did it go with your Mother? Did your wife know you were going down to tell your Mother about your transformation plans?
Oh how I want to send private messages to you. So lets figure out how we can send private messages to each other . I just want to know that I am doing the private messages right to keep them as private as possible. There is so much I also wish to tell you with private messageing. Don't worry about embarrassing me. I hope we can discuss our more personal issues on the "Private Message" more direct contact method.
I think you should do a new posting with your visit to your mother concerning your new path of life. Maybe call it "Informing Mom and Dad" or "Telling Your Parents" . Something like that , respectful, short and to the point..
We got a good conversation flowing . I wonder why more like us don't join in on this forum. Have you seen how many "Views" there have been of our conversations. Like 540 at last count. More than any other subjects posted.
Can you send me a "Private Message" so I can see how it works to me at this end?
I got to log off now. If I stay up to late and don't get to bed by 2:00 AM I get a headache for the rest of the next day. Like "Jet Lag" or haveing a mild case of the flu.
Good Night Dearest Karen From Your Special Friend Richelle

Dear Nikki,
Welcome to this thread. I agree, feminizing the voice is the least expensive step. It only requires hard work, and determination. The facial hair must be electrolyzed or lasered off. Lasers are quicker and less time consuming and less expensive as well. But not well suited to light colored hair.
As for HRT. Hormone therapy is the standard in the medical field for treatment of Gender Indentity Disorder (GID). However, there are draw backs to using hormones. As with any drug: results vary from person to person. You may not get the amount of feminization that you hope for. Also, I read recently, that large dosages of estrogen in males can cause blood clots and prostate cancer. These give me pause in pursuing HRT. That led me to find alternitive ways of feminization. Hence, this site. Also reseach phytoestrogens. There are many out there.
But, I want to give BB a fair test. I've only been on it for 17 days, I think I should take it a while longer to determine its effectiveness.
Good luck to you Nikki, and thanks for your input.
Karen

Well, Yeah!
Thats why were all here. I, as well as some others have been diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria Syndrom. But I, and others like us, really don't need a doctor to tell us this. I know you don't neither, do you. I've known since I was five that something wasn't right.
So, to put things right I've decide to start taking TF and hope that this will answer my prayers. And I hope it answers yours as well.
All my best,
Karen
I too was diagnosed by my sex therapist as having sex disphoria, but it is the most a therapist can do as far as transgender is concerned.
I,too have known that was the case or I wouldnt get into women's clothes at every chance and I wouldnt want a husband instead of a wife.Also,I wouldnt have this thing where I am dying to be a bride.Likewise,when I was in grammar school I wouldnt have loved dressing up in my sister's clothes and modelling the different combinations so she could wear the "in" thing for the upcoming semester.
A phsychotherapist would be needed to diagnose that a person has G.E.D. or to reccomend HRT or SRS. however, after the initial prescription, which most doctors who deal with gender-related medicines will write for about $100 because none of them really wants to be the first,they will all follow suit without any complaint.
I want to mention this because everyone is unique,and so even though it is a quality product aimed at transforming your entire body and everything but your voice and facial hair.You'll have to take care of them,but voice training is easy. Facial hair removal(at least a good job of it) is only possible from an outside source.

My dear Richelle,
Of course want to look my best. That is why I'm waiting to go out as Karen. I want to be sure I have all in order, so I can present a passable female form. And yes, I think of all those adds like that one and how they might help me too.
So, Richelle, this will be the last post until Sunday evening. Have a great weekend.
your friend,
Karen
Dearest Karen: I will just have to endure until Sunday night to hear from you again . When I talk to you I feel like a young girl waiting for her first kiss . My heart gets all a flutter and I get butterflys in my stomach . I feel all toung tied . I am wanting to say the perfect message to express my feelings on our strong friendship and my support for your new path of fullfillment . As I type this I feel light headed, my hands are shakeing and I am breathing very heavy. My emotions burst forth out of control . Thank you Karen it really feels good. I guess I have been in an emotional void for a long time. It sort of shows doesn't it? There is so much I want to tell you beyond this chat forum.
You know, I wonder if our personal postings are only seen by you and me. I wonder because of the 400+ views but no other outside postings or responses to our conversations. Wouldn't it be wonerful if our conversations were "REALLY" private ? We should find out as soon as possible . If our converstaions are private we could greatly expand the width, breath and depth of our feelings and support for each other in our conversations.
My dearest Karen it is late Thursaday night Friday morning 1:00 AM May 28, 2010 and I am going to bed.

Richelle,
Yes indeed, you and I would like to encourage all interested to join in. Richelle and I will answer any questions you may have and support any of you wanting to feminize. Any T-girl or T-girl wanna be please, please join us. Don't be shy.
Richelle and I have been conversing for about a week or so. If you have been following along, you know that we have been supporting each other, and we'll do the same for you.
This is important: if you wish to transform yourself into the woman you know you want to be, then you need to have someone to listen to your concerns and fears and offer some encouragement.
Okay, I've done my part and Richelle has done hers it's up to you now.
best wishes,
Karen
KAREN: i again am glad to see your postings. I hope others join in. We will see.
I keep thinking of things. Like that medication that "Brook Shields" sells on TV that grows thicker eye lashes. Are you going to try that to look your best?
That's all for now Karen from your "SPECIAL FRIEND" Richelle.

Richelle,
I am so sorry about last night. I had an early morning scheduled for to day so I turned in early.
BTW, I will be out of touch starting Friday and going through Sunday as I will be visiting my momma. I am preparing myself to tell her of my desire to become her daughter, which will give three daughters and one son.
My dilemma is do I wait for my older sister, who already knows and lives with our momma, or do I tell her in private? Either way it will be very emotional.
Enough about me though. Richelle, it occurs to me that I either have asked about you or you just have divulged much. So, girl tell me a little about you. You know I'm married, are you? If so, does she know? I'm 48 years old and I get the feeling that you are about the same age, true? Do you have any family or friends close by that can help you in your transition?
I'm not being nosey, I just want to know a little about my friend.
All for now.
Karen
