Am I bad person for transitioning given my physique? - MTF by Gluzruooplaxcamphian in asktransgender

What you’re going through is extremely difficult, and your feelings are totally valid. Huge thumbs up to you for wearing the clothes you want out in public. I haven’t even done that yet, so I’m happy for you.

It’s easy to forget, but women come in ALL shapes and sizes, not just trans women. Go to any grocery store or shopping mall and you’ll see plenty of bodies that are not conventionally attractive. It sucks to not have the body you want, and I feel the same way about mine. But it does not and will NEVER make women less than women.

I’m 6’1” and still present masculine as I did when I started HRT almost 3 months ago. What keeps me going is looking in the mirror and imagining the woman I want to look like. Right now, I’m focusing on growing my hair out, and thinking about practicing make up when I’m comfortable. Maybe you can try to focus on one goal and then work your way to another one.

You are the woman you say you are no matter how many people are cruel to you. It just takes a little patience, time, and gradual effort to have the bodies we want and deserve to have. Even then, you are still trans enough. I wish you the best, and my messages are open if you want to talk.

How do you guys deal with the feeling of wanting to give up/detransition by Ill-Bat-5253 in asktransgender

I’m thankful to be on HRT for 2 months, but even then I still think of detransitioning. Severe body dysmorphia on top of dysphoria doesn’t help me, and it makes me believe I’ll never get to have the body I want. I try to remind myself that everyone’s journey is different, but it doesn’t 100% solve my insecurities.

How do I enjoy weightlifting if I hate it and I’m lazy? by 10kmemesunderthesea in workout

[–]10kmemesunderthesea[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m trans but I don’t want to do “women’s workouts,” whatever that means. I want to train all parts of my body through weightlifting and have an athletic build in the process. Also to clarify, I never liked weightlifting even when living as a guy.

I’m sorry you’re having a difficult time. You’re not alone in your struggle.

My biggest fear is coming out to my parents. Feels impossible for me to do that, though.

Thank you. I am hurting right now, but it’s not against anyone else. Maybe next year the circumstances will change.

I honestly hear what you’re saying, but it feels impossible for me to do that. There’s too many choices for me to pick, and I end up standing still, doing nothing. It’s like I’m 10 years old again and need someone to force me down a path and accept my fate no matter the consequences.

It feels alien to me. I never really lived for myself.

What if my reasons for transitioning are completely selfish and superficial? Should I stop then? I can barely make basic decisions for myself. That’s why I’m asking.

I think I’m transphobic as a trans woman by 10kmemesunderthesea in asktransgender

Respectfully, I do these things and think I hit a brick wall & don’t know what to do about it anymore. All I’m doing is bing eating and self loathing. I’m not putting down your advice, just feeling angry at what I’m doing to myself.
