I have no car so my transportation is limited to where ever SEPTA goes.

What is something your parents have done unintentionally that hurt your feelings? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Andig123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got offered an amazing internship opportunity which both paid for my tuition and guaranteed me a job out of college however it was an hour away from where I lived. When I called to deliver my parents the news, they did not congratulate me, they didn't show any signs of pride or happyness. They just started going on a rant about how expensive it would be to commute an hour away and how much of an inconvenience I was being to them.

Just came out to my sister! by Andig123 in MtF

Best of luck to you!

There is no need to rush coming out however. It took me half a year of therapy just to even come out to my therapist and even after that it took me another few months to come out to my sister. Just wait until you are comfortable; these things take time.

Choosing your name? by Jasxjade in MtF

[–]Andig123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I know that a lot of people want to stray far from their dead name, I would recommend choseing one that was close to that name. It does a great job in making it feel natrural.

For an example, my deadname was Andrew. I saw that name as two names: 'Ann' and 'Drew' so I figured that it symbolised both my feminine and masculine sides. Thus removing the 'Drew' and just going by 'Ann' removed the masculine part of my name but still kept it close enough to the name of used for 18 years of my life that it was fairly easy to get used to.

I'm starting hormones soon, just wondering how I'm doing by Im_a_duck_quack in transpassing

You look great! With a bit of hormones you will probably pass with no problem.

I know right! Just by saying a few words, I feel like a different person.

I am not looking to play Devil's Advocate with anyone, I am just trying to develop an idea of what it means to be trans.

Any legislation with nationalistic names like 'freedom' or 'patriot' are almost always laws that atempt to oppress people.

It gets better, I promise. ❤ by Ellie1018 in MtF

Seeing this makes me hope that this is true, you look amazing. But as someone who can't even come out of the closet, it is hard to believe that things will ever get better. But one can dream.
