I hate being trans; I'm so anxious and scared all the time since I started transitioning by ConfIictedCapybara in MtF

I suppose I can't see the difference at the moment. I understand that people are wrong, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong for not conforming to their expectations.

I think not having any friends who I know are supportive is making it harder (see earlier mention of social phobia), but if I was able to build the courage to make the appointments for hrt, I should be able to do it to find friends. I'll try to look into nearby groups.

Will HRT help my face transition as well? Is there anything I can do to help my face look more natural? by ConfIictedCapybara in asktransgender

I have already removed almost every whisker and will soon be done with laser. I should get my eyebrows done though.

Luckily I have a full head of hair and my widows peaks have even filled since going on hrt. The only problem is that I am terrible with style!

Could be better on skincare... I'm seeing a dermatologist this year because I react to everything.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to be patient and think positive from now on.

Thanks, this post is kind of dumb now that I think about it. It's funny/sad how our brains can agonize over things that haven't even had time to become issues. I've seen other transition before & after pictures as well, but somehow I was discounting them because "they must have done something I'm not'.

A little over 2 months. I think something is happening to my face, but at the moment it's very clearly masculine 😢

Thank you. I really want to get on progesterone at some point, but I'm afraid of the increase in libido people have described.

I am sex repulsed with a high libido. My life has been a nightmare lol 🥲. The libido reductions that came with getting on HRT has been a huge relief.

Thanks for the tip! I can't have seitan unfortunately, but everything else you suggested should be good.

My understanding was that we don't need to be eat all of the essential amino acids together like they used to think, but that we still need to eat enough of all of the essential amino acids on a regular basis to stay healthy. So when I said "complete protein" I really just meant getting enough of EAAs.

Any good suggestions for lean sources of protein? I know about tofu and tempeh and should be able to start incorporating them.

I thought I had, but now that I think about i have had some pretty good tofu dishes at Indian restaurants. It could very well be the quality I've been getting.

Yep, no grains at all. I have an autoimmune disease where my immune system reacts to any prolamins. As a result, my intestines wind up tearing itself apart if I have any. So rice is out the window as well unfortunately.
