And the only reason why they have to undergo the surgery is to save their lives. So why do some mtf transsexuals make a equatable comparison between a mtf transsexual and a biological woman who has had a hysterectomy?

Your reason for having zero reproductive organs is not the same as a biological woman having zero reproductive organs. Nor is it done under the same circumstances.
No one so far adressed the question.
Sorry, but all of your answers seem very selfish and only from the transsexual perspective.

I’m 23, transgendered(sort of) mtf. I started HRT therapy back in May, and while I’m really not considering going back on my decision, I’m kind of regretting starting it in the first place.

First of all, I’m not female, I don’t feel like a woman trapped in a man’s body. I’m not really gay, though I wouldn’t say I’m straight either, romance hasn’t really become much of an issue for me yet. However, I do get this strange giddy feeling when guys flirt with me. I’m very androgynous naturally, my testosterone levels are low naturally and I’ve been mistake for a girl ever since I was a kid. I’ve even made a few guys gay just by opening up that possibility to them. I was always very proud of my ability to "switch genders" whenever I wanted to. I could tie my hair back and act masculine, then let my hair down and pass as a girl at my very whim. But one day, about a year ago, I noticed a tiny line of hair in the center of my chest, something which had never been there before. I started getting scared of my body "fixing" itself. I began getting really paranoid of losing this androgyny, so I decided to go on HRT to prevent it(with a therapist’s approval of course, and no, I didn’t lie). The crisis(to me at least) was averted.

But now, I can’t help but feel reliant on these drugs. A gift I was born with is now only available to me because I’m altering my chemistry. Starting HRT gave me a new hope for a future, and has given me the courage to do things I would’ve never done as my old self, but I feel so fake, so manufactured.

Should I feel that way? These are my genes, it may be a foreign chemical but it’s my DNA that is shaping my body, just with different tools. But that chemical isn’t "me".

Why does this have to be so complicated and difficult?

When I looked at the people in my therapy group, I kept thinking of the lyrics in the CHEERS them, "and your husband wants to be a girl". All of them were late Xers/baby boomers. I kept thinking, "Could a lot of this be the result of drug use from the 1960s?"

I’m a transexual MtF, but I think a lot of why it reached mainstream America is due to the baby boomers. The boomer generation was one where there was rampant drug use, using marijuana, coke, lsd, and whatever else they could get. Drugs very much change ones perception of themselves and I know from using cocaine that I thought I could do anything.

On top of them having parents who told them, "You can do anything!". So a lot of them, transitioned. I mean half of the people in my group were having mid life crises and I think their "transitions" is how they delt with it. Since hormones have been around for the last 50 years and they had the resources available to do so.

Even so, a lot of this drug use carried over to subsequent generations. My Mom was a drug user and I was on ritalian and other drugs before puberty. Even a few years ago, I used cocaine. My gay ex could afford it, so we did it.

A lot of drugs effect the perception of ones self and I think transexualism might have been a biproduct of that. Since if it was a normal part of our culture, wouldn’t we be more like the Thai people?

I think this is definitely something that has to be investigated.
