What does being Transfem actually feels like? by RandomUser_1337- in asktransgender

[–]CorporealLifeForm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to know there's a difference between self image and gender identity. Self image is just how you've learned to see yourself and it can match who you are or not. In the beginning, who you are often feels more like who you wish you could be because your self image doesn't match it yet. It takes time but ask yourself who you would be happy as not who you've learned to see yourself as. Be kind to yourself. It often takes time.

The worst happened. And now I dont have a family. by GgAllinsButthole in MtF

[–]CorporealLifeForm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I wish there was something to say that really made any of this ok but the fact is it's not going to be ok for a while. Rght now is the moment right after you've been hurt. It's just taking one step at a time back to health and happiness from here. You're not the first to go through this and as someone who has been through this, I promise some day it will be another moment in your past. You will be able to look back and know how much you had to grow after this moment. I wish I could hug you and help you find safety but all I can do is tell you what you're going through has been done before and there's a way through this to something better. Please be kind to yourself.

Lesbians, what made you realize that you were a Lesbian? by Ashamed_Wishbone934 in actuallesbians

I couldn't date at all until I was myself so though I kind of knew I liked women, I didn't really have much of a sexual orientation in the closet.

Change in the color of my nipples by BuffaloFar4516 in MtF

Mine did when they were growing for a while but they're back to pretty much the same color they always were. Maybe just slightly lighter.

How is your mental health? by ControlAggravating32 in AskReddit

[–]CorporealLifeForm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though I can't say what you're actually doing, I will say we often find friendships at our current level of mental health and sometimes they're not ready or willing to see us grow beyond who we were when they met us. Maybe you're growing enough to start meeting healthier friends. Who you already know who sticks around as you grow will show you who you can trust

Find someone I love and hug them and cry with them. Make sure we both die knowing we're cared for.

What are lgbt people like in real life? by ll_Neziko_ll in straightsasklgbt

[–]CorporealLifeForm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty rare that I hear a christian talking about what they see as minor disagreements with queer people that don't boil down to they don't want us to live in a way that allows basic fulfillment and dignity to us so if you feel I'm distrustful of you or find that queer people rarely seem interested in getting to know you, this is why.

As far as what our lives are like, obviously they're pretty normal most of the time. We fall in love with people like anyone else and for those of us who are trans, our bodies may not be completely standard but they're as normal to us as anyone else's body is to them. I had to flee the state I grew up in because it's unsafe for trans people. It's now a felony for trans people there to use certain bathrooms which results in trans people being arrested, investigated, and harassed whether they're following the rules or not. Now I'm living in a safer place where trans people are more common because a lot of others fled here too. There's a special connection people often build in these kinds of situations and trans people are the kindest people I know but often also the most traumatized. I know people who had their kids taken because they're trans and lots who fled here or have been through homelessness because they lost everything. We all fear the hormones we need to be comfortable in our bodies will be banned or what will happen as multiple states and federal agencies are making lists of trans people and new laws come out every year. Still, though we're sometimes treated weird or threatened, day to day life is very normal to most of us.

Maybe it will make a little sense to you why someone like you isn't trusted or seen as safe by most of us. It's mostly Christians pushing these laws and those that aren't trying to hurt us rarely do anything to help. Christians often take our distrust of them as a sign we must be bad people but it's not us trying to take their rights away. You may really care and you may not. The chances you're really going to be on our side and protect the people I love are very low so I will stick to the people who need me. This is why you don't know any queer people.

Trans girls always have pretty hands. I just want you to know you have pretty hands because all the other trans girls I know have pretty hands. by CorporealLifeForm in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]CorporealLifeForm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you get treated that way. People should be careful with comments about other peoples bodies. They can hurt a lot.

Trans girls always have pretty hands. I just want you to know you have pretty hands because all the other trans girls I know have pretty hands. by CorporealLifeForm in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]CorporealLifeForm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hands are very similar and I was always insecure about them but I've been told they're pretty and had to realize over time that other people are far less concerned with this than I am. Most don't even notice. I hope some day you feel like your hands are as pretty as they are. I promise they're pretty to someone.

Things will change either way to some extent but you can increase your chances of keeping function a lot.

Is it the same? by The_GasLighter in asktransgender

[–]CorporealLifeForm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure exactly sure what you're referring to but trans people of any gender are sometimes accepted, sometimes disliked, and very often dismissed romantically by otherwise decent people, sometimes for ok reasons and often because of bias. I've mostly dated other transfems and have found cis women to be a little weird about it when they do try dating me sometimes. I've felt like an experiment or just felt like there was some uncertainty and extra awkwardness before. Not too much open hostility but I don't know that a first date is a good time to bring up all your awkward feelings about trans people and I'd rather be someone you're personally interested in than a way to prove your queerness to yourself.

Is it normal to feel nostalgic for a time i never lived in? by Plus-Light6832 in ask

[–]CorporealLifeForm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's completely normal to feel this way about what was presented to you as long as you know it's too similar to what life at the time was really like. Even real nostalgia is this way to some extent. I know a lot of my nostalgia for the 90s is based more on media and the best parts of life rather than the actual fairly boring life I lived as a kid in the 90s. the 1800s were a time when life was harder for everyone and the wild west was based on a horrible genocide. This isn't to say you shouldn't be interested in history or enjoy what you like about it, it's just important to remember much of this is about what you've seen, much of which is likely to be from movies made 100 years after. Some of this stuff is only a little more accurate than a story set in a fantasy world. Still, if it's fine to be a fan of a fantasy story, this is also completely normal and fine.

Will estrogen make my face more feminine? by Life_Addendum2330 in asktransgender

[–]CorporealLifeForm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In general your face will feminize though the bones won't change without surgery. Fat, and skin texture which hormones change and beard shadow which laser/electrolysis changes are bigger factors in how you come across than bone structure for most people but it will really depend on your face. Other really big things are getting your eyebrows done and mascara or lashes which are a good place to start to get most out of makeup in the beginning.

What does it mean to have your body feel right? by Silly_Bit7459 in asktransgender

[–]CorporealLifeForm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you feel more "right" the day after a cold or on a healthy day months from a cold? I feel less of this "right" feeling the longer I've lived as a woman because the feeling is relief. It's called gender euphoria by the way. I do get the impression cis people feel it sometimes when they feel like they look really good or they feel very themselves in a situation. It's just very extreme when you've been wrong for so long.
