I have been wondering where to start and how to get more information on
FTM I have always felt like I was more of a guy I actually see myself
as one, I have been looking into FTM for sometime now but haven't had
anyone point me in the right direction, so any information or personal
experiences would help me out. Thanks Ryan

Hi Ryan..
What kind of information were you looking for, just anything? My site
is in the works at http://www.xandereliot.com/mebo.htm if you want.
But feel free to e-mail me here or IM me on AIM at UnAmericanPolicy.

Hey Alex...

Thanks for the comment, I have got some good information the past few
days but I am not sure of where I need to start at the moment... And I
don't know where to exactly get in contact with, I am currently getting
out of the Military so its in the process of figuring out exactly how
everything works... Any info will be useful, have you already been
through FTM? Or still working with it... I will look at you website,
thanks again **RYAN**

Where do you live? I might be able to suggest some support groups? You
can IM me on IM at UnAmericanPolicy. I have started the hormonal
transition process, and I have surgery on August 1st. What are you
looking for exactly? --Alex

Its hard to say what I want other than to feel normal the way I know I
was meant to be... Kinda sound odd ay? Well I want to get on the
hormones and get ready for my top surgery... I know I really need this.
Is there any way I can bypass the year of counceling?

That link is for the Harry Benjamin Intenational Gender Dysphoria
Association's (HBIDA) Standards of Care. This is the most up to date
version, and is what most therapists and clinics go by. On page 13 is
the information regarding the regulations for administering hormones
to trans patients.
I know of very few therapists or clinics who will require a year of
counceling, and I know of equally as few who will give under the
requested 3 months. The 3 month rule is a great one, gives you time,
no matter how long you've wanted it or how sure you are. There are
ways to bypass even the 3 months but I am not at liberty to tell you
now as I haven't heard of why you'd need to, nor do I think it's a
smart idea.
I do know what you mean about trying "to feel normal the way I know I
was meant to be." My suggestion to you is to find a competant
therapist who you don't have to "train" in the ways of gender
transition. Most big cities and a surprising number of smaller cities
have very competent professionals who can help you.

That link is to Hudson's Guide, I promote his site with his
permission. It is an excellent resource for people just beginning to
transition, as it's very inclusive and informative. I reccomend taking
a look at it.
If you need any more information, or have any other questions, please
feel free to contact me.
