Can you suggest some resources about trans-sexuality and/or sexual reassignment surgery?

Asked by KatawaGrey (21483points) December 28th, 2011

I’m currently writing a story about a transsexual man female to male right after his sexual reassignment surgery. The story takes place several years in the future so I am taking some medical liberties, but I realized how little I know about trans-sexuality and the actual physical transformations that take place. If you can suggest any resources that deal specifically with female to male transformation, that would be most helpful, but really any resources are appreciated. Thanks collective!

Just go to credible sites and search their bar. Try www.sfgate.com, www.nytimes.com www.latimes.com come on writer! Researching should be in your back pocket :P I’d recommend the local library and looking up human sexuality and going straight to homosexuality transgender section. Also look up some child development stuff so you can get an angle of how it may or might not be instilled from childhood and get some scientific sources that cite whether or not it’s scientific or not. Stuff like that. Good luck.

Ask @janbb. She has compiled a resource on GLBT issues at her library including online resources.

Here’s the link to my resource guide:

The Internet Resources section has some good sites and portals for transgender topics.

Hudson’s is a great resource for FTM stuff. http://www.ftmguide.org/
Also: http://www.ftminfo.net/

Feel free to PM me if you’ve got any specific questions or you want some personal insight into what it’s actually like to be a transguy.

Transgender Tapestry

Loren Cameron is a FTM photographer. This is his site, but be aware that it may be NSFW. (The intro page is SFW, there’s not really much on it.)
