Trans Help General #139

I don't think now about gender much. Up to a few days. I'm very confused. I don't feel like I don't want to be male. But I can't stop hrt. I feel fucking awesome on estrogen, I'm just like a heo. Confidence, sense of humour, happiness. Saaau.. Dunnot know. Maybe my body feel ok while on hrt, so I don't have to think about gender. Or I don't know.

I'm 26.
For the longest time I liked being treated as a girl, seeing myself as a girl and so on. Roleplaying, online games, forums, etc.
At the time, I didn't even knew being trans was a thing.
For as far as I can remember I always felt like "a girl inside a boy's body"
After years, I got "accustomed" to my body, to the point I'm confortable being physically male, to some extent(I shave body hair, for instance)
50% of the time I'm ok the way I am, the other half, I feel that I should take the leap and transition.
Whenever I think about all I'd have to go through, I get discouraged.
Anyone here feels/felt like this? I don't eben know where to look for help or like minded people to talk about it.


Sorry if this isn't the place for this kind of post.

Hi friends,

I wanted to ask where to get testosterone. I have checked in the darknet but I would like to heard your opinions and advices.

thank you

Asking this again since I never got a response in the old thread:

How can I tell if what I'm feeling is legitimate gender dysphoria and not something I'm mistaking for gender dysphoria? Over the past few years I've spent a lot of time around trannies, and I didn't really start questioning until recently. Is it possible I somehow picked up these feelings from them through some sort of reverse psychological projection?

>>8087589
ask around bodybuilding forums.

>>8087636
There's no difference.

I've been to 5 laser sessions for the beard shadow and there's almost no difference.

Would I have more luck with electrolysis?

>>8088364
Oh .__.

What about the other question? Is it possible to have become trans by proximity?

>>8086675
I feel stupid being flat chested but padded bras always have like a gap in them.

Suggestions for stuff to fill the gap? Preferably that are comfortable enough to wear every day.

I'm poor so I can't afford full breast forms.

>>8088896
Not really. Kinda depends on who you really feel your inner voice and self to be. Are you more masculine and assertive or more femme and subdued? Do you feel a bit REEEEE when someone addresse's you as 'sir' 'mr.' and 'he'? Is it a self expressive situation or an internal mental struggle?

>>8087636

Speak to a therapist, you clearly need some space to work out what your feelings are. Maybe hang around some different friends for a short while.

>>8088774
Had a friend do 'lectro and did pretty well. Fades more and more hair permanently the more you follow up with it. Was quite expen$ive since they also were diy transitoning and paying for Rx out of pocket.
If you don't mind my asking,how costly is laser treatment?

>>8088774
That sucks. Maybe you haven't noticed the change has been gradual and you've normalised it?

Electro > Laser so maybe.

>>8088953
>Do you feel a bit REEEEE when someone addresse's you as 'sir' 'mr.' and 'he'?

That was when I first noticed it. I read a comment someone wrote about me and when I read "he" and "him" there was this immediate screeching NOOOOOO in my mind. Things have been building up ever since then.

>>8089099
I don't know if it's relevant but since transitioning, I've found myself hesitating whenever I use male pronouns, even for other people.

The trannies in question, are they MtFs mainly?

>>8089155
Yes, mostly MtFs, though there were a couple of FtMs.

>>8089175
Did they police the pronouns strongly?

>>8089204
It didn't really come up all that often since for the most part everyone used the correct pronouns, at least within each other. There would be times when hanging out in the city and say the person taking our order at a restaurant would fuck up, but it was mostly just ignored in the moment.

>>8088982
It's pretty expensive even with the 50% off I got, around $300 just for the face alone (so $600).

>>8088999
If there's a difference is minimal and definitely not worth it at all, I have my sixth and last session this Sunday. I still have to shave literally more than everyday and does nothing for my beard shadow anyway.
Which is shit because apparently I'm the perfect candidate (pale skin and black hair)

I guess it's time for electro

>>8089589
Are you for real? I'm pale skin/dark hair myself, about to drop $1000 on laser. Does it not help at all? Even a reduction in coverage would be helpful.

>>8089596
I am for real about my case, I even told them to use the maximum potency of the machine.
Also the best cases I read about it, they have to repeat the process a few months or a year after finishing because the hair comes back to normal completely.

Mind you, I'm just talking about face hair. Apparently the beard is fucking shitty for laser.

I don't have gender dysphoria, but I do have gender euphoria whenever I think about being female, or when I am treated as a female, either IRL(Say, roleplaying a female character in D&D) or offline.

Does that mean I'm trans? I'm beggining to seriously question my gender...

>>8090593
That exact phrase "gender euphoria" has been used to describe the AGP desire to be female.

>>8090614
Wasn't AGP just a meme though

>>8090593
>Gender Euphoria

MtF when do people usually start progesterone? I heard its like 6 months but just wanna be sure.
Also what dose?

I know this probably isn't the place for this, but it seems like you folk could probably answer my question.

How does one approach going to a therapist? I'm not specifically meaning in regards to /lgbt/ issues, but just in general. I've never opened up to anybody before and the whole idea of having some person to listen to your shit and help you deal with it seems like a completely foreign concept. I feel like a therapist could help me with my own issues, but I've kept my emotions hidden and my problems disguised for so long that I just don't know how I would handle it. The way I see it, I would be asked the simple question "why have you come in today" and immediately go on the defensive by either denying that I have any problems or by lying and saying "I don't really know why" or "a friend recommended I see someone". I won't stand for the people that are close to me to see any vulnerability, but I think I could handle opening up to a therapist.

This probably came out a rambling mess, but
>tldr: how do I lower my defenses to let a therapist in so I can hold an open and honest discussion?

>>8091184
To be honest just go start seeing one.
The good ones are used to people not opening up at first. Don't expect to confess world shattering secrets to them the first session. They'll get to know you on a basic level, then start poking around gently to see where problems are. It's a lot easier to trust them after a while than you think. But once you're seeing one, don't assume you're obligated to stay with them. If you don't like them for any reason or don't feel they understand you there's plenty more out there.

>>8086675
MtF here. Do doctors place patients on work restrictions, e.g. do not lift this amount of weight, while taking hormones?

Question; do these kind of pills actually work? Been thinking about buying some to test out.

They vary, but generally these are the ingredients: Fenugreek Extract, Aguaje, Maca Extract, Dong Quai Extract, L-Tyrosine, Chasteberry Extract, Saw Palmetto Extract, Blessed Thistle Extract, Fennel, Wild Yam Extract, Red Clover Extract

>>8091270
MEME MAGIC

>>8091210
I thought this was likely the case, but even still I have at least a mild case of that flavor of perfectionism where I don't attempt things I may fail at. I legitimately can't recall an instance where I even acknowledged having a personal problem to another person in a non-anonymous context, and I'm just having trouble believing I can lower my guard at all.

Right now I'm considering talking with my school's free "councilors" who are licensed therapists, and as such I do not expect a long term situation since they 1:explicitly state they don't provide long term care and 2:their services won't be available to me once I graduate. I don't expect them to really go in depth on anything, but I still think it would be good for me to see them for even just a couple sessions.

There I go rambling again. Thanks for the quick reply.

To be honest I don't think this is the right thread for this, but doesn't need its own either.
At least it is trans related...
>met this girl online
>obv. trans mtf but passable
>things are going great, i like her
>never considered i could be gay or bi
>no sexual interest in guys
Here comes the problem. From lurking here I figured she must be early transitioner.
But I don't know whats down there. How do I deal with this?
I think trans ppl are very sensetive about their bodys.. so I dont want to hurt her feelings by asking this wierd questions or come of as a creep.
Any tips?

>>8091237
>>>8086675 (OP)
>MtF here. Do doctors place patients on work restrictions, e.g. do not lift this amount of weight, while taking hormones?
No. There's no real reason for it. They do say to minimise drinking and smoking though, because those are more dangerous on HRT (especially certain drugs).

>>8091364
Is vaping k?

>>8091270
>Question; do these kind of pills actually work? Been thinking about buying some to test out.

Anything they do will be done better and more safely by actual HRT; they just contain chemicals similar to oestrogen, so you.might as well take real oestrogen. Unless you're in a country with really tight customs restrictions where you can't get that from the online grey market pharmacies, then don't bother with herbs.

>>8091369
Cool, thanks for the info. I'll look into seeing if I can get hold of any HRT without a prescription.

>>8091489
qhi worked best for me getting cypro and progy. But shipping took a while

>>8091364
Thanks. I'll avoid both.

>>8091349
She's aware that you know she's trans right?
The best thing you could do is wait for her to disclose that information to you when/if she finds it necessary. There isn't really any good way you could ask her desu.
It's more than likely she's pre-op

>>8091349
>obv. trans mtf but passable

What does this even mean? She's not passable then

>>8091564
>She's aware that you know she's trans right?
Yes.
>It's more than likely she's pre-op
Yeah. I think so too.
I guess I have to give it time. This is a completely new feeling for me.

>>8087579
I personally think you should wait before transitioning, think your thoughts and feelings through because you might end up regretting your decisions. I have a similar situation so your struggles are relatable. If you have access to a psychologist, you should definitely consider talking about your struggles with one. Maybe that will help you come to a conclusion. Take care. Eat pussy xoxo.

>>8091679
I could tell by her voice. Not looks

So I usually don't come here. I usually tend to avoid contact with other trannies if possible, but I'm in need of some advice.

copied over from /r9k/ post:
>Alright man, let's hear your take on this. It'd be nice to hear an unbiased opinion. So like most trannies I tend to be pretty insecure about myself. I seem to be pretty passable (although not something I can really judge myself), since most people tell me I am and strangers always treat me as female. Problem is my best friend. I've known him since high school, and we're pretty damn close. He gives me so much shit though. Always tells me how much I still look like a man, and spins it like everyone else is lying to me about being passable and he's the only one telling me the truth. He treats me like a completely different person. Multiple times he's told me that Caleb (my birth name) is dead and he sees me as someone else now. I even went as far as to dress up in some clothes I still had from back in high school. When he saw me like that it was like he hadn't seen me in years, even though it had only been a few hours. It's breaking my heart and kinda fucking me up in the head. I don't know who to believe, the vast majority of people telling me I'm passable, or my best friend telling me I'm not. I don't know how to show him it's still me. I'm still the same person on the inside, and it's just how I look that's changed. He has admitted that's it's just hard for him to accept since he's known me so long, but it still bugs me. My confidence has really gone up since I came out, but like I said this whole thing with my bro is kinda fucking that up for me. I feel like he just wants me back to how I used to be. He doesn't hate me for my decision to be trans or anything, I guess he just kinda doesn't get it, which is understandable.

>>8091736
Oh, okay. That makes sense.

drop that dude from your life, you don't need a friend with rampant transphobia in your life.

>>8091926
>rampant transphobia
Right, he's been my best friend since high school, but I should just cut him out of my life because he's having a hard time understanding. I definitely shouldn't try to see things from his point of view so that I can help him understand what I'm going through. He doesn't hate me. He doesn't hate trans people. It's just that after seeing me one way (as a dude) for so many years, he has a hard time "unseeing" it.

Look all I'm asking is advice on a good way to show him I'm still the same friend he's always known. He feels like since my appearance has changed so much that I must've also changed fundamentally as a person. I need a way to show him that I haven't, and that we can still "bro out" like old times, despite the changes I've made.

how do you stop being ashamed of being trans

>>8092414
Stop caring about what others think, and think about how you feel.

Easier said than done, though. I still can't.

>>8092599
I feel very bad about being trans, like I'd rather be dead than have people know.

Which leads to suicide and it makes me feel guilty because I don't really have a terrible family

>>8092614
If your family is good isn't your happiness with them enough to stop you wanting to be dead?

>>8092639
It's not that they're good it's just that they're not bad, I'm not really close to my parents or anything because I just spent/spend all my time alone in my room.

I still live with them now while I'm going to college and i'ts the same.

i guess it's more like I don't have any excuse to want to kill myself so I feel guilty

>>8092614
I'm not close to my family, either. It's hard, but you can dk it, I believe in you. Don't end your life just because what others might think, anon.
Do you want my skype? I can be there fkr you if you need me. Maybe we can help each other figure things out.

>>8092085
then just keep doing the same shit you've been doing with him all those years and hope he gets the hint you're the same with a different appearance.

Might also be he finds it weird to hang out with a girl all the time.

>>8092647
If you're not close to them, you shouldn't feel guilty towards them.

I hope you find something that makes you want to live for yourself.

how do I go about getting more makeup? I always feel like I should buy more but then I look on amazon and have no clue what I want/need more of

I asked this question in the MtF general (dunno how to link it on mobile)
Im in the same boat, i started questioning recently.
The answer was look into your past, look at the signs of dysphoria and look for comparisons. And explore, look into things and try them. And reflect on your feelings and how the exploration makes you feel. I cant realy answer properly because i guess im still wondering the same thing, but i guess time can only really tell.

how do you get chemically castrated in the US? does it also stop balding?

Is genderfluid an actual thing, or just a meme? I feek that, by definition, is what describes me the most.

I just realized I might be trans, but I'm at least gender non-conforming. Looking back, there have been signs all my life and I've always "wondered what it would be like" to be a girl but secretly just wishing to be one. I didn't realize you didn't have to be upset about what genitals you have to be trans until recently. How do you know for sure when you're trans? This is all really new to me. I'm 20. Is it too late for me to go on hormones or will I be a hun?

>>8098862
For what I've gathered(from a very similar position) it's not too late. You could try to get to a gender therapist to get Testosterome blockers while you figure things out.
I thought I was MtF, but came to the conclusion im genderfluid.
>INB4> le genderfuild is not a valid gender meme
Fuck you in advance to anyone who comes saying that, it makes me happy and feels "right" to me.

This thread needs a 1 Question = 1 answer policy. Like if your going to ask a question you should answer one in the same post. I mean at the end of the day people come here because their confused about something LGBT related so its shitty that they dont get the answers they want.

>>8099339
If nobody answered is because the people who read the post didn't know.

Being forced to answer a question might lead to people giving false info out of necessity for asking a question themselves

>>8099361
True, I didnt think of that aspect. It would make the actuall advice given less valuable

>>8098994
Yeah, I'm actually thinking I might be more androgynous. Are you still on testosterone blockers? Did you end up going on estrogen?

>>8099822
I didn't start any treatment. I guess my body has naturally low T levels, although I look evidently male, most of my secondary sex characteristics are not pressent (little body hair, can't grow a beard, etc).
I'm no expert at all, though. Transitioning is too daunting to me. I do want to embrace my feminity, but I'm unwilling to let my masculinity go. I mean, it took me YEARS to accept my body as is.

Do you need estrogen if you get castrated? How do eunuchs not get osteoperosis?

>>8100355
yes

Does bica kill your nuts?
I want my nuts dead but not my dick

How do you achieve infertility without getting impotent?

Like, can I kill my nuts with an AA or getting stuff injected into them to kill them but still have boners if I take HRT?

Can you get boners without balls or is bica the answer?

Are you more likely to pee the bed on HRT with certain AAs like cypro?

Asking because I know AA's can make it harder to get boners and pissing the bed is a concern of mine since I get up to pee a lot already in the middle of the night, and I wake up with boners a lot because my body's trying to make me not piss myself.

If I were to go on HRT, would I stop getting those 'don't piss yourself' erections?

Does bica kill/make DHT useless in a way that stops MPB like spiro/cypro?

I had an orchi recently and stopped cypro. Would there be any benefit to taking a DHT blocker? I haven't really noticed much of a change after 1.5 years of HRT and I don't want to start losing hair.

>>8100223
Haha lucky you. I'm basically Shrek incarnate

>>8101096
I'm interested in knowing this too

Does bica inhibit DHT making you lose hair?

Is it good that my doctor calls me with my prefered name? My mother says my doctor is a witch for doing that. Shouldn't she first deny my transness and check if it's not just some fucked up delusions? By using my prefered name she just pushes me further into them. Isn't her role to convince me to be a boy first? (I'm mtf)

Isn't making myself happy with my body the right treatment for dysphoria?

what do you do if you have baby hairs sticking out at the edge of your hairline from it moving back? it's only a localized area but if my hair is up a tuft is loose and noticable. just shave it?

>>8111970
Hairstyle is better dictated by the shape of your head rather than the hairline. Just search head shape hairstyles of face shapes, this and the texture of the hair are the major things that make a good or bad haircut.

>>8115358
Well I believe the hairstyles that went best for my headshape aren't really available anymore since my hairline has moved back :(

Would like to know this too >>8115291

>>8114402
>Isn't making myself happy with my body the right treatment for dysphoria?
Yes. The thing is, when the dysphoria is severe enough the only way to do that is by changing your body with exogenous hormones or surgery. If therapists could just talk you out of being trans then that's what they'd do, but they can't, so transition is the only treatment that actually works.

For voice south korea is really the best place. Anywhere else they butcher your voice. Good srs depends on your penis length, girth and circumised or not. If small penis and circumcised go to thailand. If not, germany is fine probably (dr. schaff).

So I think I am rapidly dropping in weight.

I've been eating at a calorie deficit and I've been exercising, but this is kind of unexpected.
I was 159 a couple weeks ago. Last week I was 147 according to the scale in my parents bathroom, which I thought was broken, but then the scale at the Endo's said the same thing.
Yesterday I weighed in at 142 with a full stomach. Just this morning I'm at 136.5

Is that just muscle loss or should I slow down this diet thing? I'm at a 500 deficit so I should only be losing like a pound a week right?

So I take estrogen, spiro, and pregesterin but in additon I take:
10,000mcg of biotin
glucosamin+chnodriten
One a day womens multi vitamin.

Do those sound like they may have any negative effect on results for hrt? Am I jumping at shadows? should I add anything?

>>8126617
you should remove the progesterone until you are a year on hormones. It might harm progress at early stages.

Many people state that his optics are the best and that he's to only one who really tries to emulate the female organ outgoing from the standpoint of which part of an embryo develops into which part of the male/female organ.

Is this how it works

I just started working on my voice a couple of weeks ago. Should my jaw muscles hurt when I pull my adams apple up and back?

>>8134817
How long from your first visit did it take for you to have the prescription?

>>8134952

>>8135058
Awesome. Thank you for the information.

>>8135058
Not them, but lets say you're self medding and want to go official. Can you tell them what dosage you are currently on and want to be prescribed?

>>8135089
On the phone they said to bring what medications I was already taking and the doctor asked if I had already taken anything

From their website:
>If you have taken hormones without a prescription, used “street” hormones or bought hormones on-line, you can still get a prescription from Howard Brown. If you have used hormones like that, bring in the bottle or package and tell your medical provider how much you are taking. This will help your medical provider give you the best care.
You don’t need to worry if you’ve used street hormones, got hormones from other people or bought them on-line; that won’t stop you from getting HT from Howard Brown now. Howard Brown just wants to help you get hormones in the safest way possible.

I highly recommend not doing voice surgery. Training takes a lot of time and effort but unless your starting voice is really, really horrible you should be able to get a decent voice. Voice surgery is incredibly risky and even if you go to Yeson in Korea, the best voice surgeon, you still have a 50% chance of having your vocal cords absolutely mangled and ending up with a voice like a cartoon character.

ok so im 19 and started hrt like a week ago because looking in the mirror and seeing a guy wants to make me kill myself
i remember, when i was like 12, looking down at my body and seeing the only little curves that i had made me happy because i felt like i was a girl
i always wanted to be a girl - always
but i'm not really sure if im even 'trutrans' or whatever it's called because i was always attracted to girls and fapped while fantasizing about dicking girls, and only occasionally fapped by fantasizing about actually being a girl
it's only recently that i began to have gay fantasies about getting fucked and it gets me hot and fuzzy every time which i don't feel when i fantasize about having penetrative sex with a girl
so basically gay sex is like 100x hotter than hetero sex imo and i've only recently realized that
all things considered, i've been turning this thought over and over in my mind and worrying and it's driving me crazy
what im asking is, all things considered, if im still trans?
thanks

>>8137317
Finland, 90% of the underaged patients are ftms, in adults it's pretty much 50/50 but before 2011 they didn't even accept underaged so when they opened doors they got way more patients but still had the same amount of doctors so it has gotten quite big queues now. Also keep in mind that those places are often just general mental healt sort out places so most likely the hons werent even transgendered but normal depressed men.

I live in Milan and the clinic apprently has a 12 month waiting list. Can you tell me where you got HRT from?

>>8136996
>looking in the mirror and seeing a guy wants to make me kill myself
What do you think?

Seriously, you're taking HRT because you want a more feminine body and are uncomfortable with your masculine body. Whether or not you're "really" trans is just incidental; what matters is whether you want HRT, because that's what you're actually going to do (or are doing already, in this case). In a hypothetical situation were you weren't "really" trans but still felt the same way about everything, you'd benefit just as much from HRT, so you should still take it. Not that it matters, since you are trans anyway; getting turned on by being a girl ("autogynephilia, or "AGP") is commonly comorbid with gender dysphoria. As far as getting turned on by imagining sex with guys: first of all you might just be in to guys, second of all, AGPs are commonly turned on by guys specifically in the context of their sexual fantasies about being female even if they're not usually attracted to them, which is sometimes called "pseudobisexuality". Some AGPs find this develops into a general attraction to men, especially when they start to see themselves more as women, and therefore the distinction between their fantastical female self and their real self starts to lose meaning.

Check out the AGP general >>8054069

>>8138944
>Some AGPs find this develops into a general attraction to men, especially when they start to see themselves more as women, and therefore the distinction between their fantastical female self and their real self starts to lose meaning.
This is the secret! Agps become androphile (without it being meta) when they identify with their female self in every-day life! It comes down to how they see themselves!

>>8119104
youtube has plenty of videos you can learn from friendo :)

>>8138944
>>8139002
>second of all, AGPs are commonly turned on by guys specifically in the context of their sexual fantasies about being female even if they're not usually attracted to them, which is sometimes called "pseudobisexuality"
Actually now that you say that it reminds me I should have called it "(androphilic) meta-attraction"; that's a better term.

It seems a lot of AGPs start out with it being "just a fetish" and then have it eventually develop into dysphoria and then a full-blown feminine identity. I'm pretty sure that's what happened with me, though honestly I don't know what was going on when everything started. I can't tell whether the AGP came before the dysphoria or whether I just hadn't figured it out by that point or what. I know the dysphoria, while mild, was present at least shortly after the onset of the AGP if possibly not from the beginning of it (more in the form of longing and mild discomfort and a need to explore my feelings on a deeper level than the crippling anxiety and depression that it would become).

I also can't tell to what extent the AGP made me bi compared to me just realising it due to the introspecting caused from working out what was going on with being trans/AGP. I know I was at least a little attracted to guys from a young age, but I didn't really feel much about it (nor was I really aware of it) until a while after I'd accepted being trans. My AGP fantasies mostly featured women too, so it didn't seem like it developed from that too much.

Been questioning for about 2 months. Fallen into insane depression / dread / anxiety as a result and I'm barely functioning (which kind of makes me think I must be trans or else why would I care so much?). This has all been triggered by me losing my Virginity to a girl recently and not being as into it as I thought I would (ED and it just kind of felt wrong).

Reasons why I am Trans:

1. Been masturbating to sissy porn for like 10 years. Can masturbate 7 times a day and the urges don't go.
2. Crossdressed a little when I was 10. Haven't since though
3. Since this questioning period I think I'm experiencing a little physical dysphoria (weird tight chest, leg hair feels uncomfortable e.t.c).
4. Looking at attractive girls with envy. Genuinely unsure I want to be them or fuck them.
5. I'm a sensitive pussy and masculinity intimidates me.

Reasons I am not Trans:
1. Have absolutely no visual problems with myself at all. I like what I see in the mirror.
2. My dick is fine.
3. I don't feel like there's a 'woman inside of me' or anything like that.
4. Male pronouns and my birth name don't bother me at all.
5. I fucking love beer.

Answers please folks,

>>8139510
Nope. If you have no trouble being male, being called male, and having a male appearance I wouldn't say you are trans.

>>8139561

Logically yes. But I'm feeling like absolute shit all of the time atm and I'm struggling to find another reason for it. Browsing reddit Transgender pages 12 hours a day can't be normal.

>>8139510
you sound like a crossdresser that has a severe taste for the thrill of it

>>8139510
You don't seem trans to me because you don't have social (don't mind your male name and pronouns) or physical dysphoria (like how you look). But idk, there are people on tumblr saying you don't need dysphoria to be trans. If it's bothering you that much, why don't you see a psych anonymously/secretly?

>>8139722

But isn't feeling physical discomfort in the chest and legs and being jealous of girls also a form of both physical and social dysphoria?

>>8139787
if you want to transition think hard about whether it would work out or not
if you feel a need to transition maybe start taking some steps and see if you'll feel comfortable at some point
but please don't seek validation or confirmation about being trans or not, only you yourself can know for sure

>>8139857

But I don't know, that's the problem. Two months of non-stop mental wrestling and a shit therapist and I still have no fucking idea what's going on with me. Sorry to moan.

>>8139510
>Been masturbating to sissy porn for like 10 years.
>Looking at attractive girls with envy. Genuinely unsure I want to be them or fuck them.
You sound AGP >>8054069

>>8139930
Well imagine being me and having to do 3 years of mental wrestling without ever being 100% sure I'm trans. I decided to just go for it and transition in the end tho. I realised that it would make me happier and that it didn't matter what other people thought or whether I was actually trans so long as I was happy.

>>8139510
Anon, PM /u/tglina on plebbit if you wanna talk. I feel the same as you and I'm questioning too. Perhaps we can figure things out together.

Can you be trans but still want to cum inside girls?

>>8140895
Yup. You can be a cis guy and want to cum inside other guys. What you're attracted to doesn't really matter, its how you see your own body.

Trans is not a sexual orientation, anon. You can like girls, men, both, none, or whatever!

I'm 24, came out as trans 2 years ago and just never did anything out of worry of being shameful to my family.
I discussed with my doctor about dysphoria and since I didn't have dysphoria until I was 21, he dismissed how I feel.
I had the chance to discuss with a psychiatrist how I feel but I slept on the idea too long and doubt I have that opportunity.
I do my best to battle dysphoria by taking an interest in lifting and male fashion and to present as more male.
It didn't help today though...

It just sort of hit me today that things aren't okay. I got home from uni, looked in the mirror and just... cried. I've been crying non-stop for the past 5 hours. No matter how much I cry, that horrible aching pain in my chest is still there.

Why did I have to be like this? Why did I have to end up with this stupid mental illness. It's ruined my life.

I would've been such a handsome guy like all the guys in my family before me.

It's hurts so much. I'd could've been attractive and normal and people at uni might have actually interacted with me by now.

I've been pretending that everything is okay. The anti -depressants probably helped. It's not okay, it really isn't. Nobody talks to me, people give me weird looks, I'm a complete and utter outcast.

I don't know why I'm typing this. I guess I'm just angry and sad and I don't know what to do about it. I don't know where to put my anger. Is it at my parents who refused to let me go on hormone blockers at 15? Is it at the government for even putting that decision in my parent's hands and making my life so much more difficult?

Just to think that things might have been so much better had I gotten the treatment I needed at that age.

Fuck. I'm not even hon tier. I'm a feminine looking guy at least. I can't imagine how hopelessly depressed they feel if I feel like this.

How do I go about building a good female cloth essential wardrobe. Where do I start.

>>8139510
Why do people associate leg hair with gender. It's a modern phenomenon to shave.

>>8147649
Because we live in the modern era you fuckwit. That's what women in the modern era generally do. We're not trying to meet the standard of women from the Roman era.

>>8147649
Because straight men associate young children (not having body hair) with women. It's similar to how if someone asks you what your 3 favorite foods are, there'll usually be some common factor between the 3 in their flavors.

Why would straight men associate somethign they don't want to fuck, such as a consenting adult, with something they do want to fuck, like women?

>>8147649
Because men have way more of it and it isn't vellus

>>8146912
It's way better to start now and then stop. You won't get the permanent feminisation in the meantime, and you'll still accumulate a lot of permanent changes. Much of it will stay: bone changes, vocal masculinisation, and a large amount of hair will remain. Some of it will change back: fat will redistribute, your skin will get softer, and muscle mass will decrease. Imagine what happens to MtFs; basically the same thing will happen to you. You'll still look noticeably masculine; 3 years is a long time.

Also, why are you planning around not having a job 3 years in the future? You're going to have to work out how to afford it at some point.

Keep on that. If skinnyfat, exercise. Work on your legs and butt, some muscle is desirable (hrt will make it shrink a bit) but don't overdo it. Take care of your hair and skin if you haven't already.

Why are you doing this to me?

>>8086675
anyone else switching politically after accepting their status as a defective human? i used to watch a bunch of gavin mccenis and stephen crowder on youtube when i was in super repression mode, but now after i've accepted who i am - i went and watched him play spot the tranny and found myself alittle angry. I've never really had strong feeling about anything, but i find myself agreeing with women on politics alot more now. Im only two days on hrt after ordering some stuff online.

I guess i finally get what it means to be 'triggered'. It just makes me feel so fucking bad having these people i once thought were nice and reasonable just destroy me and tell me im never going to be anything but garbage. If i cant handle a couple of internet bullies, i don't know how im going to handle "coming out".

>>8157836
Seems like you don't have any political views of your own at all, just people you want to agree with. Your political views should be based solely on reason, not the two party false dichotomy and certainly not how some YouTuber shits make you feel. Take each issue that actually matters to you, do your own damn research, and then make your own decision. Someone hurt your feefees and that's rough but it shouldn't define your views.

MY trans girlfriend have been taking hormone patches for almost 6 months and has been having great breast growth

But lately she has been having complaints about one of her nipples being hard when pressed down and hurts her

Her other nipple lacks the hard part and seems to be normalish as far as i can tell.

Is this normal and should i worry

>>8158252
Get that bitch 200mg of micronized progesterone every other day. Nipples love progesterone.

>>8147233
i understand exactly how you feel. I just started taking pills because i couldn't handle it anymore, but ill look in the mirror after a shower and something, see my wide shoulders and handsome features and die a little. I literally would get told im very handsome all the time in the past, people constantly saying "you so handsome anon, why don't you get a girlfried???".
Fuck. Why are we so fucked up. I don't know what to care about anymore - everything has lost meaning.

>>8117417
But you can't be a femboy forever. Imagine 30 or 40 years old femboy. One day, you will have to decide whether you want to go all the way or give up.

>>8119424
1. Keep taking hormones but present as male.
2. Get a bachelor's degree with excellent GPA and networking skills.
3. Get a high paying job with male privileage
4. Save up the money
5. Get FFS and SRS
6. Profit
7. If you still don't pass, I have bad news for you...

I think we all know which gender gets to just suck a dick for a comfy job.
Being trans is actually great in the tech industry because muh quotas in Bethesda, Silicon Valley, and Portland.

>>8161809
Are the quotas seriously so common that your sex significantly matters to your career prospects?

>>8161819
Only because three progressive meccas happen to also be home to some of the biggest names in tech from Google to IBM as well as countless literally who startups.

so it's finally happened.. i'm getting kicked out.. before i could get a driver's license.. before i could get into college...

before i get the boot i may as well take advantage that i have internet access and ask.. what do i do? where do i go? there are no shelters near where i live and i have no idea how to go about finding a place to live, let alone finding a job. i have no friends either so there's no option to crash at someone's place. no family members to go to either. am i completely fucked? am i just going to die on the streets alone?

>>8161851
This just seems incredibly unjust.

>>8161031
>work male dominated stem job and profit
But i'm not a nerd and have no interest in that kinda stuff, it sounds hard too so fuck that.

I guess i'll have to try and profit off my looks like most straight women. The struggle to look pretty is real.

>>8161979
I'd let you be my roommate but I live in South America lmao.
Get a ride to a major city with good support programs. Use internet for that, anon, go! Godspeed.

Meh, some people whining about injustice like things can change. The moral of the story is life isn't fair and if you don't like it eat shit because you're on the bottom.

>>8086675
Do people in general have problems with Trans? Like if you were in a relationship with a guy with they have an issue with you formerly being a guy? or vise versa?
Do you see the transition being easier in the next 10-15 years?

>>8164975
Most guys still think they're gay for dating transwomen. The key is finding guys that are either bi or don't care that you've been a guy once.

>>8164975
>Next 10-15 years
We are on the verge of human head transplant.
Being trans will be EZPZ soon enough. Just find somebody else who wants to have your body and swap. Our grandchildren will look back and consider our current transition methods as brutal and uneffective.

>>8167401
What if the problem is my face and not my body

My body is already more feminine than most girls'

My therapist and my psych told me not to self-medicate and I trust them but my psych also said that being on just an anti-androgen wouldn't make a difference anyway since I'm 20 and outside puberty and now I can't stop crying.

>>8167665
why dont you buy estrogen then you baka

>>8167687
Because it takes months to wait for an appointment. I'm realizing now that this psychiatrist might not know the difference between a puberty blocker and an anti-androgen.

>>8167753
Whats the difference? Oh you know, asking for a friend's cousin and stuff

>>8167665
Therapists and psychs don't know a thing about hormones.

>>8167815
Well I do have an appointment with my endocrinologist this Friday, but I don't know if she has any knowledge about how to treat gender dysphoria. Maybe she can figure it out? I'm figuring she'll have to transfer me and then it'll be a few months to wait for the specialist to have an opening.

>>8167753
Well, since what they said is completely wrong that's probably the case (or else they're forgetting that a substantial amount of sexual development occurs past the age of 20, even if it's not as dramatic as during puberty). Why is a psychologist offering their assessment like that when it's clearly not their area of expertise? Either way, getting on an antiandrogen would help a lot; it will stop your body getting worse and might improve your emotional/mental state.

Also, a lot of people, medical professionals in particular, will advise against self-medication because they want to minimise risk. Usually they fail to sufficiently take into account just how much damage (mentally and physically) is done by delaying cross-sex physical development and allowing normal physical development to continue. It's not like you're okay while you're waiting; your body is getting worse.

It's your decision whether you want to wait, but unless you have relevant health problems (such as liver damage) the risks are actually very low even without a doctor's supervision. If you've been lurking on here you probably know more about HRT than most doctors and psychologists to be honest. I'd be more inclined to trust actual endocrinologists though (that said, even they can be grossly uninformed, especially when it comes to transgender HRT).

Personally I regret not self-medicating deeply, and looking back I don't even know why I didn't do it other than fear of taking responsibility and misplaced faith in authority (even when they aren't qualified to make a judgement). There was no reason to wait; I gained nothing from it. I knew I was trans and it was clear my dysphoria was getting worse and that transition would make it better.

I like how every time I feel like I'm repressing successfully or that i'm not actually trans, I can just hang out around cis women and feel like garbage to remind myself I'm actually a tranny

>>8167412
FFS is cheaper and safer than head transplant, anon...

How do I know if I have body/gender dysphoria or I'm just really insecure about my body/gender? I'm 18 y.o. man. I like dudes and pretty much had for as long as i remember. Never fit in with the Chad Thundercocks of my grade in school and hung out (and still do) with the girls and other dweebish guys.

I always envied all the girls. Their curves, their eyes, their hips, the clothes, the makeup. I never understood what men found so alluring about it all, but I knew I wanted to have it. I hate muscly, sweaty masculinaty and always graviated towards the more graceful quiet feminity.

I've had some andro experiences (My girlfriends doing my makeup) and it felt more normal when I would have to get a crew cut and dress in t shirts. I grow hair like I'm Cousin It from the Addam's Family and shave often (Mostly because my family is super Italian).

I have no fucking idea if any of this makes sense and I don't know if im asking the right questions to myself.

It's not insecurity wanting to have female characteristics, that's dysphoria. Insecurity would be you finding you had not enough chest hair compared to your peers (men).

I'm sure this question comes up all the time. I'm MtF, about five months on HRT and I'm scared that I won't be able to pass without extensive FFS. But then I see some of the post-op horror stories and I start to feel like it's not worth it to try at all. But I can't go back to the way I was. And every time someone refers to me as they would a male, it really fucks me up. I guess what I'm asking is, if killing myself and staying male aren't options, what else can I do?

>>8174394
Trying harder to pass
Basically just come out to your closest female human being in your life and ask for help on how to look like a girl

So I'm looking for advice. I don't really know if I want to transition yet. A lot of people say the fact that I'm even considering it is a good indication that I really am trans. I have a prescription for estradiol and spiro. Should I just try them for a couple months, see how I'm feeling on them? Or should I work out my feelings before I take them?

As a guy I have always fantasized about and envied more womanly appearances and have had a strong desire to look more feminine (shaving body hair, growing out my hair, etc), but i don't know if this is really dysphoria or not. I finally started opening up some of this shit recently to a mtf friend of mine and they say a lot of what I feel atm is similar to how they felt before coming out and going through with hrt and such.

Ever since letting this all out I have started to feel much better mentally (Have been in and out of therapy and antidepressants to no avail, was a frequent cutter but have felt less urges now) which i think is a major sign that this is a good direction for me, but i doubt myself a lot so i still don't know if this is what i truly want

Does anyone have some good guiding questions for someone who's leaning positive but still nervous and somewhat still questioning?
