/tgg/-trans girl general

Hey this seems like a good place to ask this; Should ai quit my job or work while transitioning. The environment is pretty accepting but still you know how it is. But if I quit I'll have no money for a while and that'll suck. What should I do?

Should I feel worried at this moment?

I had my third endocrinologist appointment this past Friday. He told me that my testosterone dropped from 360 to 18.9 while my estrogen was currently around 222. He said it was close to normal female ranges which also lead to his answer to my question regarding t-blockers to be that I don't need them because my T is so low.

He requires a blood test a week prior to the appointment so I did it the Friday before that one. I am not on testosterone blockers and still on the same dosage which is 0.1 mg patches of estradiol which I have to wear for 7 days before switching. I switch on Sunday at the beginning of the week to keep things simple although one anon here suggests I do it on Thursday or so as to ensure I time the labs between the time I remove and replace the patches since my lab facility is closed on the weekends.

I am freaking out right now. Do I need to worry? I am scared.

Does anyone here have experience transitioning through the NHS?

Living is actually pretty simple and easy.
Suicide takes a lot of work and just generally hurts everybody around you.

Just stop doing things that hurt you/bring you pain.

I just now started my eighth week of Estradiol patches.

why is bicalutamide so unpopular

>>8459230 and >>8461655 here again and is it normal for my nipples to feel kind of perky and stick out?

>>8459026
No reason to quit unless you both are unable to hide it and won't be accepted.

>>8459342
It's incredibly slow, both for waiting lists and unnecessary appointments before giving you HRT. It took me 3 and a half years in total (and a substantial portion of that was *after* I was diagnosed, for some reason), and not having the confidence to self-med despite my life falling apart while I was waiting for their bullshit is now one of my biggest regrets. Things are slightly better now than they used to be in that the clinics don't tend to force "real life experience" on you for HRT, though while I was there a year ago I was told that they don't follow WPATH guidelines, and that they generally force RLE and I was a rare exception.

Also, in my experience the only actual therapy for the purposes of helping the patient was at CAMHS (the service for under-18s); the adult service seemed to be just gatekeeping (as in they were recording and evaluating your issues but didn't work towards helping you deal with things), or at least a lot of gatekeeping and with some really ineffective therapy. That might have just been down to the individual practitioners I got though.

Self-med and start the NHS process; you want the subsidised prescriptions because it's cheaper than self-medding, and also you can get blood tests. Hopefully if you tell them you're self-medding they'll speed things up, but even if they don't you're still on HRT so you're safe.

I need to just keep a pre-written version of this response so I don't have to keep redoing it, because I do it all the time.

>>8454531
>spent entire day plucking facial hair
>I need an epilator.
Get permanent hair removal: laser or electrolysis (or IPL but according to most of the anecdotes and my personal experience that's worse than laser). Don't pluck since it makes the permanent methods less effective.

>>8461857
Kind of expensive, not commonly prescribed by doctors (I think because it's pretty new).

>>8462365
Yes.

dont waste your time talking to people you dont want to talk with.

>>8462948
I know. I've dropped long-term friends in the past because I didn't want them in my life anymore. She just makes it hard because she keeps texting me no matter how long I ignore her for, so I feel guilty about it.

Luckily it's somebody I've never met irl, so it'll probably eventually fade out anyway, I just wish I hadn't given her my number.

Alright so I'm a 19 year old mtf, I might be gonna detransition, who knows, but I really despise the effects of testosterone on my body. I want to get my testicles removed, I cannot afford it from a real surgeon. What would you all suggest as a means of finding a cutter to do it for cheap?

Wait. Does HRT do that? I don't have an extremely bad hairline, but I am self-conscious about my big ole forehead (I still remember a girl in high school pointing it out) and am worried it's possibly getting worse.

Why am I so desperate for affection /tgg/
I'm not even cute enough for it and I'm horribly suspicious of other people
Am I broken

It can help with hairline but usually not very much.

>>8467233
no you don't need to worry. if you t levels actually were that low you don't need an aa since you already have female hormone levels.

>>8462642
What was the joke?

>>8467690
It was relatively mild, something you hear all the time, I sort of wish it was more blatant so I didn't feel guilty about ignoring her. She made a joke about a woman secretly being man.

>>8467695
Full context? I want to judge how bad it was for myself.

>>8467703
That's pretty much full context. It's not about how bad it was, it's about how I didn't really want to become her friend anyway. And since I'm closeted, I shouldn't ignore red signs like this because a few years down the line having transphobic people in my life will just make coming out even harder.

I have my court appointment for my name change tomorrow. What should I wear? A full suit? Business casual? Actual casual? Should I go dressed as a girl, or a guy (or androgynous casual)? I'm worried that if I go dressed as a girl it'll make the process awkward and I'll look weird answering to my old name when I'm called, if I go dressed as a guy I'm worried I might not be taken seriously. Also I have basically no man clothes left and I don't want to have to buy a whole new suit just for one morning.

Please help!!!

>>8467908
You're over thinking it. Its not important how you appear in some random people's eyes, you're getting your name changed. That's a cause for happiness and celebration, grab a beer!

but if you're conscious about try putting on something androgynous and laying low as it blows over. I honestly doubt the clerks give the slightest fuck either way. If you have a friend, bring them with you.

>>8467927

Well the judge is going to decide if I can have a new name, I think it's important how I appear in her eyes. If she doesn't think I'm serious enough and denies the petition what will I do then?

>>8467884
I'm not suspicious of people entirely, just for anything romance related. In general I'm incredibly gullible, just not if anyone is actually interested for me.

>>8461507
>just stop doing things that hurt you

What if living hurts though?

>>8467935
Oh, sorry, I hadn't realized that. Sorry. I still think you should go wearing something that makes you feel comfortable, with a slight hint of feminity? It really depends on how well you pass, but a cute, plain outfit seems like a nice option to default too.

>>8467947
Oh, that's different then. Never mind.... On the original topic, I don't know to what extent you're 'desperate' for it, but I don't think that's weird at all. [spoiler]I fall asleep longing for cuddles every night >.<[/spoiler]

Hey everyone. Haven't posted here before, but I had a question for everyone.

I'm trying to find health care/insurance. Is Medicare a good option? Given my current employer doesn't have trans related coverage. I'll be moving states soon so I wanted to find something I could easily carry with me.

>>8468058
I've already read 10+ different sites, but haven't found anything that gave me a strong, solid, bit of information on the matter.

Are you sure that I should be feeling nipple sensitivity and possible breast development into my eighth week on estrogen?

>>8472734
It obviously varies from person to person, but that sounds similar to my own experience. I am 5 months in and have been feeling the soreness for quite some time now.

>tfw puffy nipples

>>8472734
that's normal

>>8462932

The day after I made this post I was in public male toilets in a shopping mall and someone walked in, saw me, and went "oh is this the ladies whooooooooo-" saying whoops as he left. He came back in a few seconds later really embarrased and just walked past me in silence.

My first boymode fail at month 6 while my best friend is month 15 and still gendered as male. I hope she passes soon. Right now she's stuck in the andro-zone and I want us to pass together.

>>8478281
Having trans friends sounds nice. I wish I did.

>>8478281
How tall are you? You're moving very fast to be passing regularly at just 6 months.

>>8478335

5'11 but I'm half-asian so I dunno. It may have been a case of good angle in a once-off incident, yet when I told my psych last month I was self-medding and 5 months in at the time she was surprised my family hadn't noticed.

I don't think I pass regularly yet if that's the first time. I want it to happen more before I begin pushing to more androgynous presentation.

Neither of us wear makeup but I got some microdermabrasion done and use vitamin c24 to heal up my acne scars. My skin isn't perfect but it's tan enough that you cant really see anything bad like inflammation or acne. Her skin is legit perfect and she's so beautiful in a 'natural' way that she really inspired me to transition because she gave me hope I wouldn't end up like a Susan's Place hon.

My hair is chemically straightened, black, and past shoulder length and just drapes down like a hime cut (that overreacts to the wind). Hers is wavy blonde-brunette sorta and sometimes tied back into a ponytail. I understand that wavy hair can soften jawlines so she should actually have the advantage because we both have the same kind of prominent jaw that's been partially softened by HRT.

We discuss how weird it is every few nights because she passes in my eyes and my partner's eyes but with strangers she doesn't. My partner even says she has nothing to complain about because she's like an 8/10 girl. We're really scratching our heads. Even some guy she met on another chan-site reassures her she passes. It's really fucking with all of us.

The part that makes me wanna hug her is because she thinks she'll be a hon forever when I have no clue. No trans person has a clue if they'll be a hon. I always tell her she was my inspiration to start self-medding because she looks so amazing but she's stuck between two worlds right now: Her friends who truthfully say she's cute, and strangers who truthfully clock her like 95% of the time.

I want us to pass together damnit. She's my best friend.

how much money could i expect ~10 years of hormones, ffs, and srs to cost?

>>8478889
Maybe around $50k.

>>8478942
sounds pretty reasonable, thank you

>>8478977
Like 98% of it is FFS and SRS, which is an immediate cost, that is really one of the first steps.
Staying on only hormones for 10 years before FFS/SRS would probably just lead to suicide.

>>8479029
thanks for the info. i was just looking for a long term figure so i could save accordingly.

Just don't act like some cringey fetishist and you'll be fine. Make sure you already know a decent bit about HRT too I guess, since it helps make things go smoother, but I'm sure you probably already do.

>>8480246
I asked this question on /lgbt/ like 2 years ago and I still don't really know the answer. The standard things people will respond with are stuff like "If there was a button in front of you that would turn you into a girl, would you press it?". But that isn't that helpful, because my answer was always yes but then I'd still be full of doubt.

>>8481240
They're asking how to tell whether they're trans or not, your answer doesn't make any sense.

>>8481240
>>8482405
Oh jeez, I got my (you)'s mixed up. Sorry. Please ignore me telling you that you're not making any sense.

>>8481223
How can you tell?

>>8482416
Behavior, mainly. At this point I can't bring myself to do much of anything anymore. I just sit in my room staring at my computer screen all day fantasizing about suicide until I force myself to go to bed. Half the time I'm not even particularly focusing on anything, just zoning out.

I was once somewhat normal, but now it's extremely difficult for me to interact with or relate to other humans anymore. I feel like an alien species. It feels like I pretty much live exclusively in my head.

But you're right, how do I really know? I'm probably crazier than I'm aware. Maybe I'll pop up on the news any day now.

Sorry but I don't agree. I was convinced I would need FFS starting out but realized I really didn't after 15 or so months. You should definitely give your body time to change.

>>8479029

>Needing FFS and SRS as one of the first steps

Hahahahahaha. Why the hell would you get ffs / srs before hormones have even had years to work? You'd just pay for surgery you stood a chance at avoiding anyway.

>>8482924
That's kind of what I was wondering too. This fucking board lol

I have a question on surgery order.
So the surgeries I need/want are
- wisdom teeth removal
- yeson voice
- orchi
i was thinking I should get wisdom first then yeson then orchi does this order make sense?

>>8482964
Hey, I want to ask a stupid question and just confirm the wisdom teeth has nothing to do with transitioning, right? I recently had a wisdom tooth out and I'd love to discover that it somehow secretly boosts your estrogen or other similar magic.

>>8479475

I think exposing your forehead with that hairstyle is ruining your passability. You appear to be either androgynous or entering a state of androgyny. A haircut that manipulates your features and hides your forehead would be very beneficial and may see you get over the line in terms of passability. As it stands now you look androgynous leaning towards masculine in my eyes.

Good skin though, fug.

Of course, if your face is pretty enough (or ugly enough) your hairstyle will hardly matter.

Holy fuck you're probably gonna pass.

I'd say leave it long and see how HRT changes your face. Worst case scenario you get mid-torso length hair and can THEN cut it short knowing what your face has changed into (and get a good, matching haircut the first time).

You don't wanna cut it short then have your face change such that long hair suits you best. You'd be stuck waiting for it to grow out.

I don't wanna be a guy though, I wanna be a girl.

And no I didn't look good at all. I never got any attention from women whatsoever as a guy, only creepy old gay men. I definitely look way better as a girl and I'm more comfortable as such, even if it's ruined my life.

What's this have to do with anything though?

>>8484821
I don't go outside. so I dunno if I would.

I'm more comfortable with my body now though, and that's what counts imo. I'll take any fate over going back to having T ravage me.

>>8482903
If the offer is to get FFS and SRS for free, it's not something you wait 10 years on. Especially if you need it.

>>8483025
Idk if it does anything but I think if you have to get your wisdom teeth out you have a small mouth / jaw so maybe there's a correlation with how much estrogen you got in the womb

I just can't stand all the stress of being Trans, and not having a passable voice.

Just voice train. Repression will mean you just come back to this same point years later.

>>8488139
I really can't handle this though.

I feel like it's honestly before puberty desu.

That anon is really bitter. The cutoff point is different for everyone since genetics are what counts. 25 can still be salvageable.

And of course even if you don't pass, it's still possible to be happy.

>>8488529
Who knows. It gets harder to pass as you get older but it's still very much possible to pass. Please see that survey I posted in your thread. You arent a fraud you are pretty much statistically average.

I would never be comfortable with giving HRT to anyone under the age of 18 because that's a decision you have to make as an adult. However biologically it'd probably be best to start in the early teens, like 13-14. However, seeing as we don't live in that insanity just yet, as an adult your best bet is to start at 18-19, 22-23 is cutting it close. Anything past 23 (maybe 24) is just going to end in abject tragedy and physical repulsiveness.

>>8488541
I'm not bitter, I've just seen enough hons to know exactly where this is going and you're being unintentionally cruel by fueling his untenable fantasy.

Well then we should see what they look like, but if it's obvious they don't have the physical characteristics for it, you shouldn't encourage them. It will only lead to immense amounts of self loathing and misery for them.

>>8488547
calm down there buddy. Nobody cares about your arm chair psychology and unfounded opinions.

Your gender identity and expression isn't about just how good you look or how well you pass. Repressing isn't the solution for people society deems ugly. Fuck off.

>>8488556
it's moronic to tell a person not to transition because of vapidity

>>8488578
Whatever you say anon. But no one wants to fuck an ugly tranny. So if that anon gives any kind of shits about their sexual well being or relationships prospects. They probably shouldn't be taking the advice of someone who apparently thinks looks aren't important at all. It's not vapidity to advise someone against taking a course of action that may turn them into someone physically repulsive who finds themselves shunned from even the most basic things. You are deluding yourself.

SPOILER ALERT: They absolutely are.

>>8488593
I am not saying life doesn't fucking suck for ugly people, infinitely more so for trans women. It will always be suffering, but repression will eat her from her core out. You can fight the world and remain whole, but that will never be the case if your own essence is attacking you.

I am giving her the less shit choice of two utterly shit choices.

>>8488614
You sure the option that involves making them dependent on estrogen and spiro is the less shit of the two choices?

>>8488593
u say repulsive alot. i could have transitioned at 20, but susans tricked me. so i started transition at 32 for another reason and learned susans is repulsive. so are you. my mom even calls hormones names which influenced me avoiding learbing about transitioning as a teenager

tldr youre creating hons.

>>8488625

That makes sense, I suppose. But yeah, I don't have any bottom wisdom teeth and they didn't take out the top ones because they were a problem exactly, just because it would be easier.

>>8486415
Could be a sign that you're not cis. I listen to a dnd podcast and I teared up just because they introduced a trans girl character. Like nothing in particular even happened, but just the fact that they included her in the show made me almost cry.

I've been questioning my gender for a couple of years now though.

>>8488134
>>8488149
I gave up on voice training a long time ago and pretty much completely repressed everything for a year. Even back then, I knew I wasn't going to transition any time soon, so my plan was to at least start practicing my voice so that when I finally do get HRT or whatever, I have that already ready. Because I think voice is what I'm going to be most self-conscious about.

Now I never have the house to myself so I can't voice train anyway. And I still repress basically. My advice would be that it's okay to stop transitioning if it's overwhelming you too much right now, but if you're going to 'repress', realise that it's not an indefinite strategy and try to still progress somehow in secret.

That's what I've resided myself to, anyway.

>>8488593
Gender dysphoria isn't about looking attractive it's about feeling comfortable in your own skin. If you're transitioning so that other people will like you you're setting yourself up for failure. Even cute cis girls get called ugly by neckbeards on /b/

Also if you think relationships are built on attractiveness you are shallow

>>8488752
would u plz tell that to everyone asking me my preferred pronouns and name. it stunts my growth when ppl ask me future choices they think i need to make

haha ive been wondering what early transitioners built relationships on since they hate all hons

>>8488703
>Could be a sign that you're not cis
I think I might have body dismorphia desu (not gender dismorphia tho… unless enjoying making my BF wear cute fem clothes counts as a transfer/redflag…)
idk, it's quite uplifting to watch people fighting to be themselves and achieving what they want, etc.
meh I probably watch them for the wrong reasons :/

>>8488813
What's the difference between body dysphoria and gender dysphoria, if your body dysphoria is that you want your body to be feminine?

>unless enjoying making my BF wear cute fem clothes counts as a transfer/redflag
Most people tend to view anything sexual/fetishistic as a sign that you're not trans, but I don't think it's that simple. I think most trans people have a fairly complex relationship with this sort of stuff. Like maybe the reason you find your BF dressing up in cute/fem clothes so satisfying is because it's what you want to do. Personally, when I had a gf, (sorry for being so graphic but) there were times where she straddled me and gave me a handjob and in my head I would pretend that it was her penis, not mine, which it sort of looked like in that position. I hadn't questioned my gender at this point so I thought it was just a sort of weird thing I did. But looking back on it, maybe partly I did that because it was nice to pretend I didn't have a penis.

I don't know, my advice to you is just to keep an eye on these things and think about it more. I can't speak for other people, but figuring out you're trans is sort of like piecing together a bunch of clues, rather than one Big moment. The first thing that made me start thinking about it and coming here and asking questions was one day I realised I don't know what it feels like to be a boy. Like, it occurred to me that there was supposed to be a specific feel to that and I couldn't identify it within myself.

Of course, 2 years later and I'm still doing nothing about it except think about it.

>>8488813
Body dysmorphia is what people with BBD has, and sometimes anorexic people.

Body dysphoria and gender dysphoria are trans things. Of course they could still suffer from body dysmorphia too, but then it's another issue.

>>8488813
>unless enjoying making my BF wear cute fem clothes counts as a transfer/redflag…
Being trans and being into genderbendy stuff from your partner correlate.

I'm depressed for years, but I can blame other shitty life choices at least, and accepting that I'm bi/gay has already did wonders for my mental health.

So I just got a shitload of envelopes in the mail today which contains the results of each test done when I had my blood test for my past appointment with the endocrinologist. I literally have no fucking idea what these measurements mean or what these numbers mean. I repeat my previous question earlier in this thread. Should I be worried?

Here are my results for Estrogen. Also, what exactly is FSH and LH?

>>8491694
I mean, I don't want to push you in any direction but wishing you were a girl is a pretty big sign haha. I've read loads of trans girls saying that they used to like, be really into episodes of kid's cartoons where the boy is somehow turned into a girl and wish that happened to them for example, but it still took them years before they realised they were trans.

I remember being like 10-12 years old and I had a poloroid camera and for some reason I used to think it would be like a funny prank if I tucked my penis between my legs so it looked like a vagina, took a picture, and hid it in my friend's locker to trick him into thinking it was a pic of a girl (I never actually did it thank god). Only awhile after I started questioning my gender did I remember that and think what the fuck. Like, I'm in my 20's and so part of my self-doubts are "If I am trans, why weren't there signs when I was younger?" but then gradually I remember things like that and view them in this new context.

Similar to being bi actually. I've only really accepted that I'm bi recently, even though looking back there are some pretty obvious signs.

>>8494248
>>8494250
Your testosterone and estrogen levels are typical for an adult female.
>what exactly is FSH and LH
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is involved in sperm production and LH (luteinizing hormone) causes the testes to produce testosterone.

>>8494458
So do I need to worry about the changes occurring or am I going to be stuck looking like I did before taking estrogen just with female ranges? I guess I am just being paranoid.

what's the average size of trans girl boobs? I'm 6 months in and have b-cups plus am half way to c-cups plus still feel growing pains. is this normal for trannies? or did I get blessed with good genes?

What mtfs usually call C cups are often AA or A cups.

>>8510120
>when you think you have Ds but you have AAAs

>>8510158

>>8510120
well. I have measure my underbust at 31.5" and my bust at 34" for multiple days in a row. so, they're at least b's

>>8512199
Tell me about it. I've been on mones for 6 months now and my breasts have somehow both not grown in size, but their cone-shapeliness still somehow protrudes my t-shirts and seems super obvious. I don't even

>>8512199
That you Maki?

>>8512610
no, am not maki
am different someone

>>8512392
That's AA.
If your bust was 36", or 36.5", you would have an A cup.

>>8513864
Where are you getting this information? How can you only be an A cup if the bust is 5" bigger than the band size?

>>8514022
How you determine band size differs between brands, like victorias secret uses above bust for their band size.

For cup sizes, the general rule is; 5" = A, 6" = B, 7" = C, 8" = D, and so forth.
After D or E, it starts not being 1" per size anymore, though.

>>8514046
I was stupid. I was getting band size and underbust confused.

I get what he was trying to do, but I don't like that he took that agency away from me.

Maybe the problem is I just don't pass enough yet. With another six months and longer hair, hopefully this won't even be an issue and everyone will just be okay with me being a girl. Everyone TELLS me I pass, but that apparently isn't fucking the case if they see me as a boy.

Wanting someone to refer to you correctly and stop misgendering you doesn't make you a "crazy person" or mean you're being "hugboxed".

I feel like spending so much time on 4chan gives people here a really unhealthy mindset, even when it comes to something as important as their own identity/transitioning.
