This is harmful and you should feel ashamed.
I'm too old and manly to pass. I'm repressing but only because I can't handle being a hon. If you have a chance of passing you should absolutely transition and I wish I had realized I'm trans before it was too late.
Fellow repressers, please don't encourage people to be like you. Instead help them avoid repeating our mistake.

How old are you anon? I feel you on the manly part. I'm 22 which isn't young but I look so manly I can't picture myself ever looking female when I look in the mirror.

26. Super broad shoulders. Balding. Wide jaw. Barrel chest. 193 cm tall. Awful awful manface.
>>8176840
i'm going to date a boy and crossdress at home and pretend to be cis the rest of the time
>>8176887
If you're already doing this much, why not just transition?
>>8176840
Too tall, voice too deep, too old.
I would never pass.
Luckily I finally found an alpha bf who treats me like a little girl in bed, but he only loves me because I'm rich so don't be poor, gais.
If you actually have dysphoria, repression is impossible.
Start now, you'll be coming crawling eventually and it'll be even more too late.
Eternal boymode with good effects of HRT is better than repressing.
Being a hon is better than repressing because you cease being a man.
Halfway is better than nothing, you'll probably hinder your own suicide this way too.
>>8176840
I'm repressing because I don't want to be trans.
Also, all of my ideals in life do not suit being transgender (would be mtf).
I'm probably gonna shoot myself by 30 tbqh.

I'm /pol/, but realistic.

I still suggest doing HRT anyway, if you're completely unpassable you won't fail boymode. Right chemicals in brain comes with a lot of benefits apart from external body changes.
I had worried about how I'd find the courage to start full-time before I got on hormones, turns out that just came automatically with estrogen suddenly giving me self-confidence.
I know I most likely don't pass, and I literally don't care, presenting female makes me feel good, so that's what I'll do.
I had a lot of doubts before, but decided to take the leap anyway, and I'm so glad I did.

HRT made me feel worse because now my goal was so close, yet so impossibly far. It's just made me lose hope and more suicidal than I ever was. Seeing its effects over a male skeleton makes me cry all the time over how I was too late. Seeing passable trannies makes me want to kill myself with envy.
Once you get on HRT, it becomes impossible to distance yourself emotionally from your dysphoria. And estrogen's effects magnify it tenfold.

Well shit, I don't know, maybe cheer up a bit?
>>8178059
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm just afraid that if I don't repress completely I won't be able to deal.
>>8178057
>I'm /pol/
so a redneck racist?

>HRT for hopeless unpassables is a meme.
It can alleviate depression.
Having the right body chemistry makes a big difference even if you don't look like a cis woman.
It isn't a "meme"
>>8178229
Repressing is the hardest way to deal, though.
>>8178240
It can also make it worse when you can no longer distance yourself from your hopelessness.
