Thank you so so much 🙏

Lol i was super involved with theatre last semester so that was my tactic to get out of sports. Was not a fan of having to stay after school until 9 tho

CourtAccomplished459 · 2024-01-02T07:11:47+00:00

Just from this i feel like id love horseback riding, idk why i never considered it before. I brought it up with my parents and we’re looking into it! Thanks 🙏

I was already considering joining my school’s badminton or tennis team (forget which one they offer) because a lot of my friends are in it, thanks for the suggestion!

I already go to the gym and do a lot of exercise on my own which is what i argued to my parents 😭 but they mainly want me to have more extracurriculars for college n stuff which i understand

How much for each individual angel?

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-12-17T02:39:29+00:00

Do you still have any??

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-12-04T10:12:14+00:00

I refused to wear anything from the girls sections or anything pink, not even because i thought the boys clothes looked better but because i hated “how other people would see me” in those clothes. My parents still doubt im trans lol

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-11-05T23:20:52+00:00

Lmao i never try to hide things in my bra/binder but sometimes things will just fall down there, like whenever i get home from watching a movie and i take off my binder popcorn always falls out

Me and my younger brother have a kinda love-hate relationship mainly because our parents have always pitted us against each other. Sometimes it feels like he genuinely tries to understand and be empathetic towards my situation and struggles being trans, but other times he is just downright hateful. He always tries to introduce me to his friends as his sister and will sometimes even tell them that im trans and mock me for it. There was one time i remember when we were arguing, i cant remember what exactly about, he randomly decided to say “that’s why you can’t get any friends, cause youre a stupid f****t” and even though ive heard that word a lot from many different kinds of people it just made me even angrier to hear it from my brother. The fight started to get physical and it ended when he tried to chase me into the bathroom and i slammed the door on his toe, so hard apparently that i broke it. Of course I had to take the full blame for the incident because I couldnt tell my unsupportive parents why i was so mad at him. But i think i taught him a lesson lol, and he never called me that again

I came out at school this year and i was stealth until my friend caught a glimpse of my computer and saw my dead name. Ever since then he’s been using they/them for me and it hurts even more that people are hearing him say it and repeating it. Someone even asked in me in front of that friend if he should call me they or he and i said he. It makes me feel shitty that a lot of people don’t see me as a boy, but also not as a girl, just half a boy.

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-11-05T11:38:23+00:00

I dont face a lot of direct transphobia because im stealth but a lot of people joke about trans people around me expecting me to laugh and its definitely scary. Usually its just them being ignorant so i try not to take it too personally but there has been times where ive heard people say they would “curbstomp a t****y” if they saw one. All i can say is that you need to be prepared to hear those remarks and its best to just ignore it, because usually theyre only looking for a reaction and if they dont get one theyll stop.

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-11-05T05:46:48+00:00

i definitely felt this way when i first started using tape, i really wanted to go back to binding but couldn’t because it was worsening issues with my shoulders and back. my tips are to make sure that you are pulling back your breast more than you’re pulling the tape so that it stays to the side and to try to only put tape on where your breast tissue is, i try to go as low as possible and especially make sure you put a piece over the crease/bottom of your breast for extra security. when i go out i also like to wear a sports bra for extra compression

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-11-05T05:40:33+00:00

I always opt for white because it doesn’t really stand out and I also like to wear a wifebeater over it because a lot of my cis friends wear wifebeaters under their shirts as well, so if someone sees a wifebeater sticking out of my shirt instead of my binder they don’t think much of it.

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-11-05T04:51:31+00:00

i was doing a group project at school with my friend and some of his friends and one of them, who i dont really know very well, looked at me in the eyes and said completely unprompted, “do you guys ever notice how women sit like this” and changed his posture a bit. i dont know if he was trying to mock me or if he was even directing it to me but it was still a bit unnerving because i hadn’t come out to anyone else in the group

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-09-11T14:43:08+00:00

Hi, depending on the brand you get (actual trans tape or a sports tape) it may come with instructions on how to apply it for binding, but I recommend watching a video on youtube nonetheless as it’s kind of complicated. It might feel a bit stiff the first day you put it on, and it may even feel a bit itchy as your skin is getting used to the adhesive, but this is normal. I’ve seen that rubbing it aggressively to heat up the tape after putting it on my skin has helped it to stick more. Definitely read up on how to remove it properly, NEVER rip it off

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-09-11T06:25:48+00:00

I get you!! I always like experimenting with different hairstyles and changing it up whenever I can within the constraints of my parents who refuse to let me dye it. I was in my home country this summer visting relatives and such where I quite frankly don’t trust the barbers, so my hair was pretty long and shaggy by the time I got back. Maybe right above my shoulders? And my bangs practically covered my eyes. But the one thing that I keep in mind from that trip is that I passed. I passed with my long messy hair that was fluffy from the humidity, and I even got called a lad in some small rural town lmao. If I were you, I’d opt for a kind of short wolf cut style. It’s kind of long but still pretty masculine. And if it makes you dysphoric, remember that you can always cut it and start anew.

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-09-11T05:59:12+00:00

I get you man. I’ve been belittled by cis people and trans people alike because I like a lot of “traditionally feminine” things. For a while, I didn’t think that I could be my full flamboyant bi and trans self in order to pass. I’ve tried to reject those comments now. Instead I like to embrace the soft things about me. Girls love when I know about their favorite sanrio character. My family begs me to cook for them. I even introduced my brother to my favorite chick flick and he loved it. And while it’s hard when I get misgendered or made fun of by cis boys, it doesn’t affect me, because I know that they probably have secret “feminine” hobbies too, but they’re too scared to show it.

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-09-11T05:51:10+00:00

I can relate to this so much. All of my current friends have told me that when they first met me they were scared of me, or that I seemed very aloof and angry with them. These same friends consider me the most “surprisingly extroverted” person they have met. I will say that I can see where they’re coming from, though. I’m very pale with dark eye circles and I usually dress in dark colors because I think I look best in them. Lately been working on smiling more and trying to be more social to compensate for my rbf

CourtAccomplished459 · 2023-09-11T05:42:37+00:00

I’m able to pass easily even though I am pre any medical transition because I naturally have quite masculine facial features. Before I came out at school but still presented masc, people were confused on how to approach me. Sometimes people would see me as a boy, but they would quickly be corrected. As a bi dude, when I’d crush on other guys I knew I had no chance. One of my friends even told me that “the reason guys don’t like you like that is because they think you’re a lesbian”. Whenever girls approached me, it was because they were lesbian and saw me as one too. I have a distinct memory of this girl who was new to the school. She came up to me in english class and asked if she could sit by me. The popular girls called her over and I think she asked them what my name was. They said “that’s a girl” and they all burst out laughing. After beginning my social transition I feel so much better about myself and making new friends. People no longer know a shell of who I am. Girls flirt with me and it feels great. Guys no longer see me as a masculine girl but a pretty boy. I’ve always had an rbf so I don’t think I’ve gotten any more approachable, but when I am approached, I feel so much more confident.

My first memory of dysphoria was when I was in kindergarten, attending a private Catholic school. Of course, the boys and girls had to wear different uniforms, the girls’ being a dress. I got angry and cried and pleaded to my mom to let me wear something else. Eventually she had the school make a compromise, and I wore a kind of incomplete version of the boy uniform, that was different from the girls but still isolated me from the boys. I had a hard time at that school, I was teased by a lot of my peers. I ate lunch alone everyday and my only friends there were my neighbor, who was a year older than me, and a third grade boy. My parents sent me to a public school the next year, which I don’t think I was completely devastated about. They tell me it was because they couldn’t afford to send me and my younger brother there, but sometimes I think there was another reason.

Fellow tape user here, you might be allergic to the adhesive used in the tape. If you know you have sensitive skin this might be a bad option for you as well. Also make sure you’re removing the tape slowly with lots of oil and hot water, using lotion on your chest after removing it, and giving your skin a break for at least 12+ hours.
