Possibly because I've had the idea, more recently (and no, I'm not sure why) of having children. But that would be hard… right? I mean, on the kid. Sorta a "Oh, you had a mommy and now two daddies." Even living in the most liberal of areas, I'm not going to be blind as to the fact that it could be quite difficult for the children with a “Well, M-Preg is possible…”
I don't know whether you mean it'll be hard for the kid to understand or that the kid will face teasing and shit from others who don't understand. On the first, the children of trans parents seem, according to everything I've read, to assimilate ideas about gender that adults struggle with. I worry about it myself, because I gave birth and intend to transition or partially transition at some point, and I've had a lot of support from the Yahoo group for transgender and genderqueer parents.
I think we are long lost twins.. 'cept I'm eighteen.
I'm pretty much the exact same way. There are days I feel beautiful about the idea of having breasts... and days where I'd like to cut them off myself.
And the T thing. I'm sure it would cure my wants; voice, body hair, muscles, features.... but I most definitely do not want my genitals changing at all whatsoever... unless I can magically aquire a penis. So I'm SOL there.
I don't know what to say... if you want to talk to someone who feels pretty much 100% the same way... I'm at Oh Eastyn on AIM. Or.. kingsedition@gmail.com.
I've struggled a lot with transgender stuff and gender dysphoria. I absolutely distaste myself some days and feel like a strange creature in a body that wasnt quite picked right and then other days I enjoy my femininity and relish in it. Those days are few but whatev'.
Basically, I think I can connect with you on some level if you'd like to talk about it. I'm too much of a chicken to start T yet. I'm not sure if I could handle that transition. I know that I, personally, wouldnt trust genital surgeries-- especially FTM-- at this point. If it advances, I might consider it, but that's given the most grief about it all.
Wont talk your ear off here. My AIM is 'Neo Dandyism' if you want to chat.
Feel free to nab me anytime, but forgive me if I dont respond. Usually means I'm not around and forgot to put up a message, swear I'm not ignoring you. =)
I would love to chat with you and I'll add you to my AIM. I might be slightly incoherent, but I wont feel upset if you don't reply! :) Thanks for the heads up, mate.
if youre that small you could get peri-areolar/keyhole chest surgery, which has a greater chance of retaining sensation since the nerves are all left in tact.
and loads of people have chest surgery without taking T. there's more than one way to transition. its not like a step by step process.

And I stopped after a while because people were hassling me, and I got really good at avoiding being hassled.
And I still have trouble crying, even though I want to so much sometimes.
I feel a little stuck too. My gmail is at chaoticset.
