What does it mean if no one can tell if I'm MtF or FtM?
This happens both with and without my physical appearance, even based just on tastes and mannerisms online.

>suddenly have no attraction to girls and like this at 21 now
Am I gay or am I just slowly dying of some disease that makes me "low test" or something. I even made out with like four different girls after graduating and I didn't enjoy it at all like I used to when I would get intimate with girls in high school
I don't find men attractive but I can tell who an attractive man is and isn't
See a doctor.
Sudden decrease in sexdrive can be a sign of serious illness. I am talking brain tumor level serious here.
See. A. Doctor.

I've had numerous tests done and even gone to a cancer doc and they said I'm fine. But I don't feel fine desu

>lower sex drive after became an adult
Gee, did you thought that you were sick when you entered puberty, too?
Is there any way to get FFS paid for by insurance, such as in Washington state? I am not too lazy to work, but at times I experience near-suicidal depression/dysphoria and I don't want to flip burgers for half a decade while experiencing it
What the hell am I looking at here?
>>7754287
It can be finagled, but it depends on the surgeon etc. The better surgeons operate outside of the States, so you're probably fucked either way.

how was every reddit tranny, regardless of gender, so successful and gender-conforming in their natal sex pre-transition? this can be partially explained by the fact they're all a*p, but /tttt/ is also majority agp and not like that at all

>Ladies, when a woman is talking to you about something she is upset/angry about, unless she SPECIFICALLY ASKS for a solution to the thing making her upset/angry, don't offer her one. Just empathise with how she's feeling and what she's saying.
Fucking women. I'm so glad I'm only AGP and my brain isn't female-tier.
>A good example is when i feel down about not being able to have genetic children. I under no circumstances want to hear "but you could adopt maybe?". Just listen to me and try make me feel better. Hugs are good :)
This was an MTF so some of them are GNC.

I'm AGP and I already know to do that. It's called social skills. When someone's venting to you about their problems it's best to just be a good listener, say nice things and try to empathize with them. Trying to offer advice or solutions can easily backfire if you're not sure what you're talking about.

I'll be spending this Valentine's with a bottle of Smirnoff.
I made out with a guy at a club and we have our first date on saturday.
should i send a valentines day message or would that be weird so early on?
>>7751669
Definitely don't do it
A friend of mine is a substitute teacher and was telling me about this student he had today in the first grade class he was subbing for. They were a little girl who he later found out in the day is actually a male to female transexual. I'm not transphobic or anything but the thing that he told me that kind of bothered me is that this little girl, a first grader, a child, is taking hormones this early on. I'm not even going to pretend to be an expert or know much about this subject but it just made me feel weird. Idk you tell me, do you think it's ok for a child that young to be taking hormone therapy and stuff like that? The cross dressing is one thing but I just don't like the idea of a child taking hormones. Am I wrong? I am admittedly ignorant on this subject so please educate me.
>>7751289
In first grade, no, they should only be taking blockers if anything. I doubt they're actually on hormones.
>>7751289
Is your friend sure the kid isn't just taking hormone blockers? But even first grade is early for that. Unless the kid was growing breasts, there is virtually no chance that kid is taking estrogen.
>>7751289
>he told me that kind of bothered me is that this little girl, a first grader, a child, is taking hormones this early on
That's not even remotely happening. They only give kids puberty blockers, not hormones, and certainly not in the first grade.
QHI shipped my hormones 2 weeks ago
Should I go to the post office to see if they've arrived yet
Last time i ordered from them in took them 5 weeks, instead of the normal 2-3 weeks. Have patience, they are slow.
tom pls
They've at the most taken two weeks and a day for me, they've taken as little as 11 days.
But I always do their signature required shipping.
I just had a realization what caused mine, nearly 10 years ago.
Fuck cartoons, maybe I'd be normal now otherwise.
What was yours?
>>7745976
My first AGP moment happened at 11 when I turned the TV on and I saw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dW2MmuA1nI4 at around 2 min in because it was tuned to MTV. Specifically, imagining myself as one of the girls in their bikinis was what aroused me. I wanted to be like them.
I planned on becoming a girl before this though.

I turned out being a massive hon instead.

For an agorophobic suffering person what are the options I self med have been doing so for years I don't do regular bloodtests and kinda wing it I worry this has hampered my progress greatly. I literally cannot go outside my home with out having a panic attack no one seems to understand this and treats me as this flakey thing that won't commit to transitioning. I have a very hard time maintaining relationships or trust. Waiting in a doctor's office fills me with dread, talking to a therapist in a unfamiliar environment would terrify me further I was a victim of several sexual assaults and numerous fucked up abuse I won't even go into detail with basically lived as a prisoner to a chaser for two years. My question is what can I do transhelp I am so emotionally insecure and fucked up oh and I don't pass to add to the misery anyone else know this struggle.
hey i posted this >>7688099 in the agp-thread. thankful for all the advice I can get
From last thread:
>I've been 18 years old for a couple days and soon (March) I'll be on HRT (MtF), legally, with a really good (and thus/sadly pricey) endo. I'm a cornstalk; I don't mind. To say I'm lean would be an understatement. With all this in mind, how do I into hips? I don't care much about my chest, emphasis on "much" as I do care a little. Also, and lastly, any general tips? They would be greatly appreciated. Please, consider I live in Chile. Thanks in advance.
Lately I've been watching this educational Youtube channel on relativity and astrophysics. The show's creator commented that only 3% of its subscribers are female. This didn't surprise me but I do wonder if stereotypically male or female interests change when people transition. Any of you mtfs or ftms notice a change in your interest in science? What about in areas that women are traditionally better with, like reading emotions?
>>7758402
80% of the hons here are computer programmers/STEMlords
>>7758402
>Any of you mtfs or ftms notice a change in your interest in science?
I was always into classical and medieval studies, and theology. And that persisted through my transition. STEM was a struggle, and you better believe I did the absolute minimum for my general requirements in undergrad. Thankfully in grad school the coursework is all relevant to my interests. So no, nothing changed on that front.
It's funny you mention reading people. I've got a bit of a reputation. Whatever you want to call it, I'm something of an empath, an inadvertent shrink, an oracle--I don't know. People tell me their secrets. Even strangers open up sometimes. If it makes them feel better, I'm happy to listen. And people tell me I should be a teacher or a priest, especially because I'm very patient.
>>7758402
I am MtF. Back in school, science, art, and computers were my favorite subjects. I was good at math at least up until pre-calc, but didn't like it. I hated PE. I would like to ride motorcycles, though the safety course I took had 4 females to 6 males (without including myself and the instructors)and the school was started and owned by a woman, so maybe it's not that masculine an interest. I like playing video games. As a kid I played AoE II and flash games on PC, later console games on Gamecube, PS2, and PS3. I didn't play quite as much as my younger brother. I had a bit of interest in trying my mother's makeup on for years which I never indulged for fear of being caught. I was slightly interested in the idea of having ballroom dance in school, but I didn't like the idea of playing the male role. I wanted to ride horses A LOT back when I was in middle school, which for some reason seems to be stereotyped as a female thing. I think I heard that a child's preference in learning an instrument based on the sound it produces, so I'll say I wanted to learn the flute or the piano, but it was the school's vocal and not instrumental teacher who knew how to play those. So I took violin because it seemed like the least bad of the choices presented. I'm not sure which category those are placed in.

>Subtle and mostly unconscious aspects of your body language are governed by sex-dimorphic and (most likely) non-malleable areas of the brain.
>These regions are feminized in people who are tru-trans, and masculinized in hons/AGPs (vice versa for FTMs).
>Unless you belong in the former category, your movements will always look uncanny no matter how much you train yourself.
I know the author is a bit of a meme around these parts, but a lot of what they said in this article rings true from my own experiences.
What do you guys think about the article?
>>7757872
Can any of this be confirmed with a study?
>>7758315
well, it *can*, but transsexualism is infamously underresearched
the studies in the references on the article aren't specifically relating to the typology, but demonstrate the apparent innate aspects of gendered movement
>>7758315
Well HUH a study would give us
Um
Facts
We could have facts and we could have figures
And maybe then
MAYBE THEN
OP will stop talking shit
But so long as as that turdildo licking sodomite is enjoying the gravy train of anon pain I will train in vain to strain the man
Hi, I want to transition from male to female, but what happens when I get older?
Are we all gonna end up hons?
>>7757314
Not if you start early enough / get FFS early.
I want to be a sweet little old lady when I'm older, not Caitlyn Jenner.
