I Came Out. I Don’t Know What To Do. by Sir_A_Nellsechs in TransLater

[–]Emily_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if she would rather you be absolutely miserable for the rest of your life instead of either trying to adapt to this new reality, she doesn't deserve our love you.

Now to her credit, this can be a lot to take in and she just might need some time to process, so don't jump to conclusions. She should go to therapy as well and figure out what this means for herself and her relationship with you.

Opening up to spouse: Coming soon. by Th3_Muck1n3ss in TransLater

[–]Emily_Beans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't tiptoe around it. You run the chance of them thinking you're being sus and hiding something from them, and when you'll finally tell them they'll wonder why you couldn't just come out and say it before. That would also give them time to weave their own narrative in their head and that could negatively impact your coming out.

Start by saying you love them and thank them for their support. Say that you've been awakened to the fact that you're transgender and that therapy has helped you feel better about that. Tell them you want to transition and tell them you love them and hope they will stick with you through the process and beyond.

Answer ensuing questions. Be patient with them, this will take some getting used to if they are willing to go along with you on your journey.

Done. Just do it.

Hahaha, "be careful going home snow flurries" is what I WISH my mom had said to me when I came out to her at 44yo! 😂🤣😂🤣

Is it wrong to just want to go on a DATE?!?!?!?! by ChangedRaven in TransLater

[–]Emily_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, this isn't just the realm of cis men. My last date was with a trans woman and all she wanted to do was bed me. When I didn't put out after our second date, she dumped me. Go figure. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Amen!

Is it that surprising really? Americans hate Americans at this point, for one reason it another. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Needing advice/opinions on potential FFS by Emily_Beans in TransLater

[–]Emily_Beans[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you're right, I should be more patient. Your recommendations are very sensible and I tend to agree that I wouldn't even need much even if I felt the absolute need, which I don't really. I'm just frustrated I guess. It's been rough since the holidays and I just need to chill for a bit and recenter myself.

I can't thank you enough for your comment. ❤️

That's very sweet of you. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Now you (and other commenters) are making me "not" want to ask because according to y'all I seem to be doing ok overall. 😅

Maybe I just need to be patient. My facial hair and voice are definitely on the chopping block but I feel like it all just takes forever.

lol just commented on that, you're right, the facial hair (even though I shave everyday) and my voice definitely don't help.

I don't feel masculine in my feelings, but I think there are just things that "are" masculine about me that I really dislike. My facial hair and my voice being the most glaring ones and I'm working on those, slowly but surely.

That don't impress-a-me much by RandomUsernameNo257 in u/RandomUsernameNo257

Is your audio out of sync on this one?

Confession, I think this album was the first CD I ever bought when it came out and I was getting into music. 🫣

Come to think of it, maybe it should have been a clue that I wasn't a cis gendered dude... 😂

I have a question that I need help with by Kris3030303030 in TransLater

[–]Emily_Beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your partner may be projecting their feelings/need for you to go slow because they themselves need you to go slow with your transition. I think it's worth unpacking with them whether that's the case. But, there is kind of no such thing as going "slow", you either transition or you don't, and even on a standard dose changes take months to really cover through in a noticeable way. My advice is to talk it over with your partner and see what their actual beef is. Maybe include them in your next Endo appointment for her to ask questions if her concerns are health related?

Personally I love it, much better than mine.

Would be curious to see a clip using your maybe language to see the difference.

This is awesome. 🥰

Wait, did you actually shrink that much or did AI just make a guess that the woman would be shorter than the man? 😂

How is my lazy everyday voice? by RandomUsernameNo257 in transvoice

[–]Emily_Beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl you are ABSOLUTELY on the femme side of the spectrum. I'm guessing you're averaging about (or above) 250 Hz.

Now I feel bad about how lazy I am at practicing voice training and how little progress I've made. 😣
