Transition FTM UK welcomes you all

When you begin to transition from female to male you can spend so much time researching. Moving from site to site to find all the information you can on how transitioning from female to male happens here in the UK.

Sometimes you can even be faced with not even knowing where to begin, with that in mind I put this website together as a starting guide for those that may need some help in understanding how the process works and listing places here in the UK and abroad where you can buy ‘the essentials’ you may need while transitioning.

What is Gender Dysphoria

Gender dysphoria is when we feel that there is something missing that our bodies don’t match how we see ourselves. Gender Identity is the gender we identify ourselves as. Some of us don’t even identify as either male or female.

The feelings that we get, be it discomfort this can sometimes be known as gender dysphoria. Some of us feel that staying as we are is not enough and that treatment is looked into.

Sometimes the dysphoria can be so strong that we also live in the gender which we wish to be recognised as, rather than the sex we were born as. Which is where the name transsexual, or trans is then associated with us. Some of us then feel that our whole appearance needs to change and be more consistent with our gender identity.

What does it mean to be Transgender

Transgender or trans, or even those that identify as genderqueer are all put under an umbrella term as there is many forms of gender identity.

For those who don’t wish to be seen as the biological sex they were born as, and we wish to change the sex we were born in and transition into our new gender.

Whether it be changing our name, using pronouns or how we dress, sometime this alone may not be enough and with the advice from therapists hormones/surgery can be given. Its about our body on the outside matching how we feel on the inside.
