Those older ladies

i love my gf a lot, she's been through thick and thin with me, however her refusal to accept me as a ftm, makes me fall for an older lady at my work place. 

Anti Pink Dot

regarding the anti pink dot sg,
haters are gonna hate. No point having all the trouble to pull down the page when the people who agrees with it doesn't change their views.

People who understands won't change their views just because a hate speech is there. So why bother? Chillax. Ignore those you can't be bothered. Instead, spend more time to help those who are less narrow minded to understand and want to know more. Also, spend time building on character and personality because it certainly does change perspectives of people on lgbt community. 

My gd friend didn't accept me liking a friend of hers since I am a trans and she is straight. My friend felt that I am not good enough. I was initially very depressed and upset because my gd friend accept me as a trans but dislike me having a relationship with her friend. I decided to focus on changing my character and show that I genuinely love her friend with my heart and soul. My sincerity soon touched my friend and currently she hopes that her friend n I will become a couple.

I believe one day, with sincere and genuine heart, we could touched those around us and make them realise, we are no different.

Drunk tales

[MTF, 22 y/o]

Random stuff that I do when I'm drunk just for some cheap thrills and laughter:

Was at Herstory a few weeks ago. As usual the queue to the ladies was extremely long so I headed towards the guys toilet only to be stopped by the bouncer.

Me: "But I'm born a guy."

Bouncer: "Yes I remember you tried to pull the same stunt last month. And no, I'm not letting you through this time."

Me: "But I remembered to bring my IC this time. Take a look at my gender!"

*hands over my IC*

*bouncer stares at my IC, look at me, stares at it, looks at me*

Bouncer: "Wah. Have you gone for any surgeries or anything?"

Me: "Nope. No money to afford haha."

Bouncer: "Wah okay you really very zai leh. Okay okay go."

Facials

My face is really going bad..
Does any one know any transgender friendly facials in Singapore?

Phallo or meta?

Which do you guys prefer: phalloplasty or metoidioplasty?

Love-hate parent-child relationship

Recently there have been a couple of articles that share the last SMSs sent to parents by children who were on board the sinking Korean ferry. They were always ""I love you.""

Can't help but feel that if I were in the same situation as them instead, I might be texting ""I hate you"" to my parents. Not once have they ever cared about the pain and suffering that I've gone through for being trans.

Every day I'm suffering and dying a little bit inside. Yet I know I can't ever talk to my parents about my feelings because they'll just shout at me and tell me that there's nothing wrong with me and I'm just a confused child.

To be fair my parents do love me. They love me enough to do stuff such as providing my allowance and buying me presents for my birthday. But I mean....what's the point sometimes? I don't care about all that. All I really want is for my parents to love and accept me for who I am.

My true gender identity

Niklaus Fluetsch was born female but always knew he was male. Having built a successful medical career as a woman, he took a leap of faith in 2007 after years of struggle, and now lives openly as a man. In a heartfelt and inspiring talk at TEDxZug, he urges more transsexual and transgender people to come out, and for all people to have the courage to be true to themselves.

Hi, are there any LGBT-friendly and/or LGBT-owned places that are hiring? Thanks.

Singapore Confessions - TV producer seeking FTM

[Admin: I received a letter from another TV producer and sought permission to reproduce it in whole]
--

I'm Yanling a TV producer from Xtreme Media. We are an award-winning production company that specializes in high quality television productions. For more info you can check our website at http://www.xtreme.com.sg

For our upcoming project we are working on a show title Singapore Confessions which aims to tell the story of Singaporeans who dwell in unconventional. It will be a 10-part half-hour documentary with one main topic in each episode. The programme will be on SingTel Mio TV Jia Le channel.

This series is not funded by the government at all and we do not have to conform to MDA or free-to-air TV standards.

We are working on an episode about the transgender community in Singapore and I'm looking to feature a transman profile in the episode. I'm hoping that you might be able to put me in touch with some contacts. I came across one of an older post where another producer was looking for transman for his documentary, did anyone respond? However, in this case I need someone who is willing to show his face.

For the episode I've already contacted transgenders mtf and I'm hoping that with a ftm profile it can help me portray a more complete profile of the trans community in Singapore. As mentioned this programme is not funded by MDA so we aim to portray a neutral perspective to this topic.

I hope to hear from you soon, if you have any queries please feel free to contact me.

Singapore Polytechnic LGBTQIA Confessions

Hey y'all! This may seem a little shameless, but here goes. Recently, my friend and I started a confession page for LGBTQIA students from SP, and I thought hey, some of you guys probably are, or were from SP too, so I thought I'd share the page with you guys! Here's the link to our page: https://www.facebook.com/splgbtconfessions. Feel free to like it (but only if you want to)! Also, I'd like to thank Shay for doing such an amazing job at running Transmen Confessions. Hopefully SP LGBT Confessions will be able to do the same :3 Thank you! >< [Alex, Singapore]

Would you choose a job

you like/desire, but where people are most likely discriminatory or would you choose a job that is average, but where people are mostly supportive of you being trans?

Im a MTF 17 going to be 18 years old this year.

It's been really hard for me struggling with everything, trying to fight hard for what i want. Just today, my mom talked to me and told me that why do i want to transition, and she told me that if i would change my decision of transitioning, my parents would be really happy. They said that i would not need to support them when i grow older, i can just spend all my money myself and wouldn't have to worry about them being a ''burden'' They want me to stay the way i am. It really makes thing really hard for me, should i sacrifice my only chance of being happy, just for my parents to be happy? because i know that i would never be happy if i do not transition, not entirely complete. Its very important for me .. I don't want my parents to worry for me as i know what i'm doing. Sigh, if only i had a closer relationship with my parents all the while, but there has been lots of complications throughout my life. I'd been a playful kid since young and i've had trouble with the law. I hate myself so much for bringing so much pain to them and i had little control over it. [Singapore]

The worst part

about being a trans man? Knowing I'll never be be 'right'. [~Ro, United States]
