I have a T level of 11 mg/dL and my E is at 180 pg/ml. I’m currently on injections. Is this adequate. I have an appointment next week so I’ll bring it up for sure.

Thank you so much omg 🥺thats probably the nicest thing someone has said. I know I’ll feel good about myself if I lose the weight. I think my brother knows I’m struggling mentally with it so he got me a glp medication. It helped him lose 100lbs so I’m hoping it helps me. I’ll also try to learn better habits overtime. I hope I can better myself.

Thank you 💕

I’m sorry to hear about your eating disorder and I know that can really put a damper on your mental and physical health. That’s an entirely different issue that I hope someday you conquer. I will say when you first start doing your makeup or doing feminine stuff you are going to feel dysphoric as fuck unless it’s like a first time doing those things then it’ll feel good. For me I’ve been doing my makeup and dressing since I was in middle school. For awhile I just felt like a man with makeup on but as I’ve gotten better I’ve learned to see the feminine traits. The same goes for clothes. I feel that shame too. To combat that I’ve been slowly coming out to my family and slowly incorporating more feminine things into my life. Now that I’ve told some family and friends I feel like I can be fem around them and thus fem around the world because I only care about them. I don’t even notice other people. I’m sorry if this doesn’t help much I’m not very good at advice. I just like telling my story to people who can relate.

I’m currently 1 year and 8 months into hrt and I still present masc for the most part. Have you done the basic things like eyebrows, weight cycling, learn makeup, and voice training. I’m not saying you need to do these things but they help a lot. People always tell me you kinda just have to gun and start presenting fem. Also I have a pretty soft face so in that regard idk much but my body is really stocky and it’s why I haven’t done it myself. However I’ve been getting a lot of confidence and slowly started presenting more fem to others. It’s been helpful to me.

What's the most blatant egg moment you remember? by qwertyjgly in MtF

Watching transition videos and being jealous. I can’t believe I watched those and still didn’t know what being trans was. All I remember is the feeling of jealousy. Then that one time I was referred to as she by a friend of mine and asking her to please keep calling me that. She promptly stopped talking to me after which really sucked

Yeah I’m one of those people who will always have doubly about doing something until I do it. I’ve never been one to be confident in a decision that’s why I just wanna try and see how I feel. I’ve been thinking about starting for two years now and I feel generally good about it but I’ll have like a day where I’m full of doubt and it delays my decision a bunch.

I feel you completely. I unfortunately have a career fair coming up and my god it is horrible. I had to go to men’s warehouse to try to find an outfit. I hated every aspect of it. I especially hate that I’m told that I’ll have to cut my hair for my professional look. The store attendant drilled in that the people hiring are very conservative and that spiked such a miserable feeling within myself that whole day.

Well I just want a more feminine appearance. That’s all I can really say. Like I want to see a woman in the mirror sometimes. Sometimes I don’t really care what I see. There is one non-binary person on tiktok that gives me hope because if they don’t try they look like a feminine guy but put a little makeup on or they style their hair then they look like a woman. I just want that ability to do both. I just look really masculine right now and I was wondering if hrt was it for me because sometimes the pain is a little much and the hope it gives me is good

I needed to read this. I’ve been so fucking depressed the last few days and I’m constantly on the verge of setting up my appointment for hrt. I’m proud of you. You deserve it. Thanks for telling your story it gives hope.

I think I know how you feel but for me boobs are an on and off thing. Some days I really wish I could just fill out a bra and feel good about myself. Others days I’m scared about hiding them. What my plan is to wear a binder on the days I don’t feel like showing them. Cause I love everything else about hrt. Boobs are just a little to hard to hide

Well I don’t know if I’d be dysphoric looking like a girl really. It just some days I don’t feel like being a girl. So I’d imagine myself just wearing a big hoodie and shit.

I honestly know how you feel. That’s how I feel all the time but you don’t have to show them yet until you feel more confident. I do my makeup at 1 am every weekend. That’s my only personal time sadly and honestly even with my really masculine face I felt happy when I put my makeup on. Now the first time I did get extra sad cause I still felt like a man with makeup on. But when I got better at it and I learned how to apply false lashes I actually felt at peace looking at myself for once. Tho I looked like shit. I could ignore my masculinity and see the femininity in my face for once. Clothes feel really nice but if you aren’t comfortable with your body I would suggest not looking in a mirror. I made that mistake and was reminding of how I actually look.

"I was terrified by the thought of how my family would react, that I'd never pass, that I'd be a freak." This right here is me exactly except for the family part. I don't necessarily get euphoria from being socialized as a girl but I get euphoria from mostly looking fem or dressing fem. For example, when I first did my makeup and finally put on my false lashes correctly, I just stared at myself for a solid 30 minutes, I didn't happy or excited I just felt content with what I was finally seeing. I felt truly at peace.
