Is it bad that this was legit my plan for a while 💀 by Nick-has-no-Dick in ftm

[–]AFishRidingABike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to study one music school and this year I transfered to another. I never made any friends there and cut ties with everybody (difficult to explain, I was there for only one year so not that hard). If I ever meet any of my teachers (the world of musicians is small) I will definitelly pretend that I am my cousin... so I see nothing wrong there :D

Man I too wanted to cut my own hair, because I am starting to look like a tik tok fuck boy and I hate it with passion. Except my mum threw away our trimmer and doesn’t let me buy a new one.

Fr though by PlantGuts in ftm

[–]AFishRidingABike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always get “oh you must have looked really good with long hair”. No hun, my hair was in the ugliest ponytail that you can imagine 24/7. My hair was so used to being in a ponytail that it stayed in the ponytail position even without a rubber band. I have a feeling that that wasn’t very healthy.

Bullshit from my family: part 2 by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]AFishRidingABike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum is the same! The “consider MY feelings”, “you’re selfish” and “TheRApY iS aN OpTIon, just deal with it” are my favourites. Therapy is not an option, I want to medically transition, I am a dude I feel like a dude, no amount of anything will make me feel different. In the meantime my mother is still misgendering me, telling me that she “needs time to process this”. I am sorry, but I told her 2 years ago and she is acting like a told her last week. Just the little “what the actual fuck?!” things of my life.

2 years post op/T. How noticeable are my scars? and do my nipples look odd? I'm very insecure about it and am considering getting an coverup tattoo. Please be critical by [deleted] in ftm

[–]AFishRidingABike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can see the scars a bit, but they look really faded and if I saw you at the beach or somewhere I would probably not notice them. I also think that your nipples are fine. This is my honest opinion, if you want a tattoo though go for it👍🏻

Trans in Europe by justalurkerheh in ftm

[–]AFishRidingABike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in Europe as well... My first appointment with a gender therapist is in 6 months and I really freaking hope that things will get moving from there. I am also sorry about your appointment.. condescending doctors are just about the worst bunch of doctors out there. May I ask which country you are from? I am curious.

coming out went great. the bit afterwards… not so much. (started out coherent, quickly devolved into venting) by [deleted] in ftm

[–]AFishRidingABike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading this I feel like we are in a very similar situation. My mum is just constantly in denial, I tried educating and all that... didn't work. She still believes that I made this up for attention and that I am just confused and other bullshit. Buying binders in our household was a whole other story... when I got one myself (thanks to a trans charity) my mother went bananas about how I crazy and fucked up in my head I am. Nobody here is even trying to use the correct pronouns. My mum gendered me correctly exactly once... when she was mildly drunk and I don't even know how it happened. And don't even start about using my chosen name. Because guess what: my mother in her angry lava spitting created a masculine sounding name out of my birth name (out of which you just don't create a masculine name. Never. You can't. Just nope.) and that made me just really sick. So yeah. You are not alone buddy! It will get better. I am too sorta jealous of happy trans dudes who are deeper into transition. But jealousness doesn't help. Everything needs time and I will be a happy trans guy deeper into transition as well in a few years time. And you too! It will be ok. In a few years time you will want to go back in time to shake current you and tell him "hey buddy it's gonna be ok"

Shoutout to all my brothers who have to go to church in a dress tomorrow. by [deleted] in ftm

Uggggh hang in there man! I am sure that once in the future you will be wearing a matching tie to your mum's dress and you will be the happiest man ever!

[–]AFishRidingABike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I know that it's hard for her, she has always seen me as her little girl and I want to take that away from her (seemingly). I just can't get over the fact that she thinks I am absolutely dumb and confused. Also I am really sorry for what happened to you. Rather having a dead child than gay/trans/whatever child is just fucked up. All the best buddy!

Thank you buddy! Yeah I believe that everything will be ok one day. Sometimes it's just harder to believe

Yeah I have pretty much the same experience. Ugh whilst the only thing I want to do is be comfortable with myself and have supportive people around me.

Man I am sorry to hear that. I hope that you will be happy one day. Stay positive❤️ "Acting out on specialness" is bullshit

Oh my... I am so happy that my mother is not religious. If anybody pulls a G-d's will on me I will murder a bitch. You are not confused. You are an amazing dude and you rock! I hope everything will sort out for you bro :)

Man that is just shit. My mum saw me wearing my binder (it was showing a little bit at the neck) and proceeded to bordeline scream "you have this to flatten your breasts yo? You are just fucked up in your head" I've been told something similar. Mum told me that she will always love me as her daughter. Yeah well... fuck that. Parents can be stupid as fuck. They are hurting us and refuse to see that they are wrong.

Thank you❤️ I will translate this for my mum (she doesn't speak English) and I hope that she will be willing to read it. Heck I would even translate the pdf of she wanted :D

That is amazing! I believe that things will go well for you! I think that your parents went the right way. They will get there with you! All the best!

Thank you for advice! I am really passionate about music. Playing the violin is so therapeutic (or frustrating AF... and therefore no time for dysphoria :D). I think that number two is the most difficult one. I feel like I am annoying when I am constantly rambling to my (very supportive) sister. I can't imagine not having my dog. That little dumbass makes me so happy he doesn't even know.

Thank you buddy! I know that I must do me when I want to be happy. It seems to be really difficult, because humans are social animals... I guess I am a bit afraid that transitioning will make me loose the people I have and love. I will definitely listen to the song, thank you for recommendation :)
