      From True Spirit 99: The 10 Most Damaging Myths about Transmen & FTMs
10. All FTMs come from the lesbian community, and after transition are heterosexual. (That is, attracted to    women.)
9. Transsexualism/transgenderism can be "cured" by psychotherapy. Transsexual men are really just            lesbians.
8. FTMs did not exist until after World War II, with the advent of hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery.
7. Female-to-Males are far rarer than Male-to-Female transsexuals.
6 Transmen seek to live as and be recognized as male in order to obtain male privilege and economic advantages.
5. All transmen exhibit stereotypically male behavior and want to be as macho as possible.
4 Taking testosterone makes Female-to-Male transsexuals much more aggressive and angry than they were before taking hormones.
3. All FTMs want genital reconstruction as the driving force of their transition, not necessarily the social aspects that go along with masculinity.
2. Historically, all women only chose to live as men to pursue careers that were otherwise unattainable to them, to seek economic opportunities, or to justify lesbian relationships.
1. Transmen are really just butch lesbians who change sex to justify same-sex relationships or to avoid harassment.

A word here if I may. This ring is for those who Identify as male only. There are many lesbians, butches, stone butches, dykes and many others who seem to think it is cool to occasionally ID as male and then attach to themselves the label of FTM. This is not what this ring is about. It is about men. Men who are in process of, or have begun the transition to be male. Men who have changed their lives, and their bodies to align to the imperative within their brains that they are male. There is no wannabe mentality in these men, just one fact we all share. We are men, and we want the ability to live as we should have been born.

This ring is for those who struggle or have found peace in their religion or spiritual quest. Open to all faiths and beliefs. Share your story, trials and triumphs with others
