Answer 1

Gender identity disorder, as identified by psychologists and physicians, is a condition in which a person has been birthed one gender, usually on the basis of their sex at birth but identifies as belonging to another gender, and feels significant discomfort or being unable to deal with this condition. It is a psychiatric classification and describes the problems related to transsexuality, transgender identity and more rarely transvestism. It is the diagnostic classification most commonly applied to transsexuals.

The core symptom of gender identity disorders is gender dysphoria, literally being uncomfortable with one's assigned gender.

This feeling is usually reported as "having always been there" since childhood, although in some cases, it appears in adolescence or adulthood, and has been reported by some as intensifying over time. Since many cultures strongly disapprove of cross-gender behaviour, it often results in significant problems for affected persons and those in close relationships with them. In many cases, discomfort is also reported as stemming from the feeling that one's body is "wrong" or meant to be different

Medical body interventions and procedures are often necessary to enable living socially in a gender role that more closely matches one's gender identity, and many assume that being accurately perceived by others is a primary goal of body transformations. However, for those transgender individuals who experience the deep internal distress of body dysphoria, the effects wrought by physical changes - hormones, surgeries, or other procedures - go much deeper than surface appearances and are far from cosmetic.[citation needed] The primary effects of hormonal and/or surgical interventions are experienced directly by self, internally, increasing a sense of internal harmony and well-being at the deepest psychological and emotional levels, as well as through the physical senses especially proprioception - the body's own knowledge of itself. Many medical professionals have come to consider "post-transition" transsexuals to be fully cured of their dysphoria or any other disorder.

Thus, many post-transition transsexuals cease to regard themselves as "trans" in any sense: many transwomen (male-to-female) self-describe as "women" and, similarly, many transmen feel themselves to be unequivocally "men." While some of these individuals may require continued hormone replacement therapy (estrogen or testosterone, respectively) throughout their adult life, such HRT is not substantially different from the HRT often prescribed for cisgender females or males (not only are dosage levels similar, so are the effects of lack of treatment). Thus, many medical providers in the United States now routinely prescribe such HRT under the same medical codes used for other women and men.

First of all -- BE PATIENT. You won't be able to do anything until you are at LEAST 18 -- probably you'll have to be 21. I know you think you can't wait -- but believe me, you can.

In the meantime, do some reading. Talk to your doctor, he will give you the specifics. There is a TON of information out there -- use your time to find out everything you can about sex change operations. Perhaps even try to find someone who's HAD that operation.

I think you need to live life as a female for YEARS before they will allow you to get the operation. But don't start that yet. Stay male as much as you can, for a few years more. Things might change.

Good luck.

Answer 3

First of all, you need to know that you are not alone in your desire, but you will probably have to be a legal aduilt before you can take it any further.

In the meantime, why not spend some time researching Male To Female transition, and finding out some sound factual information from people who actually have useful information.

I've put a great link below to an organisation which offers support and education to transgender people and the wider community.

Before doing anything else, inclusing asking strangers who are not very knowledgable, why not contact them ~ you can do so anonymously and confidentially ~ and talk about what it is you think and feel.

Best wishes and good luck :-)

Answer 4

I was just reading your past questions about wanting to move to Florida to be with your boyfriend.
I'm curious, if you and your B/F are gay, why would your B/F want to be with a woman? If he wanted to be with a woman, then he would have dated one.
Besides, at 16 you are too full of hormones and conflicting feelings to think straight about something so important. Wait til you are 21. That way you are away from the people who pick on you and you have had time to adjust to who you are.
Right now you are probably fighting your parents, your classmates, and your emotions. In time, when you learn more about yourself, you will be able to decide what you want to be. You may even find someone who accepts you the way you are.

Answer 5

Given that you're only 16, you won't be able to go to school dressed as a woman, but try "living" as a woman on days where you won't see anybody you are in school with. Try to see how it feels to be a woman.

As another poster said, if your boyfriend is gay, he may not want you after you become a woman, so think long and hard about this before you try anything. Discuss it with him, too.

Answer 6

Do you really want your balls cut off. I am not joking as there is no replacement for the testicles of a man or the ovaries of a woman. You really don't want hormone shots for the rest of your life. So really think it over. A man could never be a woman nor a woman a man. Just having your external organs removed does not make you a woman.

Answer 7

I think you will be far better off remaining a boy. Consider yourself a gay boy. Ease into it. You may find being gay is all you will need to be happy. Have you ever seen people who have had sex changes? After the age of 35, they begin to look like freaks, in a body that still looks male, but is enshrouded in a dress and wig! The male body is a beautiful body, and yours is in tact, capable of fully functioning sexually with who ever you want to. Think about this decision. You are young yet. And this decision should definitely not be made until you are over 21, and have visited gay bars to see for yourself what gay life offers. There you will also see sex change people. Some who are still young and look almost, but never fully, like females. You will also see the unhappy sight of aging drag queen sex changes who can never fully fit into society because of how they look. Think about it. Best wishes. You are loved.

Answer 8

well, before you decide that you want to be a woman.. WHY do you want to be a woman why arent you happy being a boy? im not putting you down in any way, im not one to judge but think about the long run.. what if you go through the whole process of becoming a woman..hormones..surgery..whatever lengths you're willing to go to..and then you decide it was a bad idea, you dont like it. and you want to be a boy again? theres no turning back after that im not sure that they could turn you back into a man! you're only 16 i dont think you should make PERMANANT....LIFE ALTERING decisions like those! and if you turn yourself into a woman..would you be with a man? if so, what if you want children one day? you could never have children of your own, because one, you'd still have a mans body, and mens body are not built to carry children. and 2, you wouldnt have ovaries , or eggs, to create a baby. something to think about sweetheart.

Answer 9

you need to talk to a doctor. in the states there are a great deal of options, but they require years of preparation. if your parents are willing to help, you can start now, but if they arent, you have to wait until you are 18. Talk to a doctor, find your local LGBT group, they will probably have information regarding sex changes that you can read.

Answer 10

first : be convinced that the sexual organ is the not the only distinction between both sexes.
second : announce your feeling and behave as you really feel.
third : if you feel the need for a surgery - which i don't think "it makes any difference, since you don't look for being a father or mother". I don't asvice surgery for the possibilty of changing your mind in the future
