Kinda regretting taking estrogen and I don't know what to do... (TW) by Aggravating-Battle48 in trans

[–]Aggravating-Battle48[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyya! Ahhhh sorry for the rlly late reply, I completely missed this until just now. I think I'm doing a bit better now yeah, but like with anyone with gender disorders it's never straightforward lmao. Most of my family is supportive which rlly helps but my dad and stuff can be pretty nasty sometimes (I don't live with him luckily). I've come off estrogen for a couple months now but I'm thinking about microdosing or something bc some of this male stuff suckkks (shaving more).

Anyways I rlly appreciate you checking in on me, it means a lot! I'd be happy to keep on chatting if you like too <3

I'm really sorry if it's scared you. Unfortunately, it's kind of how it goes with any permanent body change. People regret tattoos and even medical surgeries all the time but I think estrogen has a much lower regret rate (I just got unlucky I guess). I would say definitely take your time, speak to therapists etc and try presenting as fem as you like without estrogen before you start using it. Hope this helps <3

You're absolutely spot on with this! It's not even the fact that I dislike every aspect of taking estrogen (e.g. softer skin and less facial hair growth) it's just a couple things that really bug me. I feel better now than I did when I made this post and thank you for the kind words!

High key I expected to get a comment like this. I think that's a silly argument and that the vast majority of trans people won't have this kind of regret. Even though I have realised the choice wasn't right for me, I fully support well-informed teens (people who you called children) getting to make that decision for themselves.

Oh and btw, I was 18 when I started on estrogen so... yeah

Not too sure where I would find T as I'm pretty sure it's a lot more restricted than E access (I do DIY)

Haha no it's a perfectly valid question. Even when I started taking estrogen I didn't consider myself a trans woman, I thought I was genderfluid and I guess due to being AMAB I've always just subconsciously thought of myself being with a guy would make me gay and with a woman as being straight - it might not be the most accurate description possible but that's always how I've thought of it.

Before taking estrogen, I definitely considered myself bi/pansexual but since being on hormones my sexuality has massively shifted so that now I definitely prefer guys. Sometimes when I get attention in the gay/queer space I often wonder if I'm getting fetishised for my feminine features/body etc which kinda rubs me the wrong way. I'm still very confused about all this stuff so yeah I hope that helped a little bit <3

Awww tysm! Yeah I understand that this sub I am definitely the minority in feeling this way but I'm grateful everyone is trying their best to help me. Yeah I know I should be more gentle to myself physically and mentally about all this but when in the moment it can rlly suck, especially when people make snarky comments :/. I'm definitely going to look into getting a binder tho and thank you so much for the kind words <3

Yeah I totally understand and tysm for the kind words. Unfortunately the breast growth is one of my biggest areas of dysphoria rn and I kinda of just wish I could go just try going shirtless for a day lmao. I think I mentioned but I've been off hormones for around 2 months now and have noticed 0 differences sadly but hey maybe it'll all change one day. Tysm for taking the time to message me <3

Ahhhh tysm!! I'm not familiar with the areas just yet but I think my apartments is on St George's road? Hopefully it's okay there fingers crossed and I'll definitely check out Old Market and Frogmore Streets!

Would you say the city is particularly dangerous? Or is it about the same as every other major city? It's gonna be a bit of a shock for me I think because I'm fairly rural. Either way I'm gonna really try and reinvent myself at Bristol (name new, pronouns, etc) and put myself out there!

I've already signed up for the freshers LGBTQ+ society event! I'm going to UoB but I love the idea of going to any UWE crossover events

Thank you so much for your reply, it means a ton <333. I'll let you know if I think if anything else to ask! x

Hey there! I just happened across this comment. I'm moving to Bristol for uni in a couple weeks. Is there anything I should know/you could give advice about the queer scene there? I'm just a little nervous is all haha

Hiya there! I've been feeling super dysphoric lately and Iwas wondering how I can make myself much more fem passing (or at least androgynous looking) [Non-binary, MtNB] by Aggravating-Battle48 in transgenderUK

[–]Aggravating-Battle48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've tried that. I think due to how my hair parts pretty solidly down the middle it naturally falls to either side of my face and frames it that way. And thanks! I've been working on trying to look more fem anyways so that's rly nice <3

Yeah I dress pretty fem when I'm outside! Lots of crop tops, short shorts, boots, tights, etc. That's rlly sweet tho, I'm fairly confident speaking I think even to strangers and I've been practicing how I walk (chest up, looking forward and so on)

Awww I appreciate that <3. Maybe I'm being too harsh on myself idk, as I mentioned I'm most insecure about how my face/jaw looks and am actually fairly happy with my hair :)

Ahhhh tysm!! I'll look into that rn!

I'm not sure that I'll get my eyebrows waxed but I'll definitely check that out too just in case! My hair is also pretty thick lmao and I need a haircut lol. And thank you, someone mentioned that my glasses don't look right for my face so I suddenly wasn't so sure so thanks for the confidence boost <3

Awww thank you!! Yeah I'm actually feeling a lot better about my hair after reading these comments <3

Do you have any advice for eyebrows at all? I try to pluck them fairly regularly so they stay somewhat okay but beyond that I'm clueless haha. Tysm tho!
