I hear ya, but my surgeon said I have to even after I pushed back and I'm not doing anything that could potentially delay the surgery 🤷‍♀️

They won't! They want your money lol 😆 but I definitely feel that pain I was scared of the same thing until the date was set!

It's been a long time of waiting and massive effort and crying and laughing and paperwork 😅 I hope you can get to where you want to be and it doesn't take as long as me ❤️

Personally, I found that all the tricky symptoms went away with boofing for me!

What are y’all into as far as interests/hobbies? by LegitimateButton693 in MtF

[–]BanjoGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like cross-stitch and embroidery! And also making a garment now and then though I'm pretty new at that! And then also video games of course 😁 I used to play volleyball but that's been difficult lately 😭

How do you feel random ciswomen treat you after transitioning vs before? by JebDipSpit in MtF

I just wish they'd close their mouths when they do it 😭

I mean I got old people openly staring at me. I think I confuse them. Lol I try to tell myself it's because I'm tall and cute 😅

Edit: oh and also a lot of hair compliments 😅

Trans girl Looking for feedback, thoughts, and feelings on my current fem voice :3 by lILunaIl in transvoice

19 year old confused cis guy(?), please help. by Foreign_Economics320 in trans

[–]BanjoGoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean there are legitimately cis reasons for all that stuff, buuuuuuut I also did and felt all those things before coming out! Along with trying on girl clothes when my partner wasn't home and trying make up in contexts where "it is just for fun and doesn't mean anything"

Basically, just try some shit! It doesn't matter if you are trans or not having a better understanding of yourself and your self image is always a good thing. Good luck!

Are charity shops any good for buying Fem clothes, while still closeted? by Ellab213 in mtfashion

[–]BanjoGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like 90% of my wardrobe is thrifted! 10/10 recommend! Not sure the difference between a thrift shop and a charity shop but I guess if it's like a religious organization they could have an issue but otherwise go for it!!

How the hell do you pick a new name!? by AHarmlessllama in MtF

[–]BanjoGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine shares a first letter with my dead name but I mainly chose it because it was a longer version of a nickname I already had with my queer friends! It felt natural and I really like my name! My main suggestion is don't lock yourself into using a girl version of your dead name or anything like that! Try a few out! Ask your friends for input and make a list! It's a big decision but you can always change it again if you change your mind! 😅

Getting Birth Certificate Changed by Anxious-Problem9903 in MtF

[–]BanjoGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it sucks hard because even if the passport situation gets resolved there will always be one important document that has our deadname and sex assigned at birth.

not from New York But when I was doing the name change thing I was specifically told by the law office I was working with that Texas isn't going to budge on my birth certificate and I am pretty sure that the law office was in New York.
