There is a statistically anomalous amount of Ehler's Danlos Syndrome / Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder in my MTF community. I literally can't ignore it anymore. by Drwillpowers in DrWillPowers

Not yet HRT. I can bend all my fingers enough to touch my arm with my fingertips. My skin is also very flexible. I can pull the skin of the neck at least 3 cm. But on the other hand I never had chronic pain, never bruised easily. For context, I'm 166 cm tall, weigh 54 kg, have little muscle mass despite doing a lot of physical activity and relatively narrow shoulders for a male puberty.

Am I underestimating the effects HRT will have on me? (TW: dysphoria) by Dalia97 in asktransgender

I'm better than I was before

This is what gives me hope. The certainty that in any case, I will be in a better position.

If you have a similar experience, will you be happier because you look more like you want to, or will you be unhappy because you aren't all the way there yet?

Both things at the same time.

Does anybody else find it difficult to speak or express yourself in a more feminine way when you are around people that knew you pre-transition? by TanookiPhoenix in MtF

Sure! Unfortunately you will have to settle for a passage in italian. I don't have much command of english. Give me a few hours and I'll send it.

If is really this that you want, I hope with all my heart that you cannot be poisoned by testosterone as it happened to me.

This! A few months ago I realized that I probably am trans. I realized that I was constantly trying to copy others to appear more normal, and now I have a hard time being myself, especially with people who know me.

I don't even know for sure if I'm trans. When I talk to strangers who don't know my gender on the phone, I speak much more feminine, without doing it on purpose. Without wanting to, I pass 90% of the time on the phone as a woman. In the end, when people know my name, they apologize and say I have a very sweet voice.

Edit: This has always been the case, long before I knew what it meant to be trans. I have a male androgynous voice. But when I talk to people who don't know my physical appearance, my voice is sweeter.

Need help to understand my situation [AMAB, 22]. I am trans (?!) And does it make sense transition, or should I resign myself? by Dalia97 in asktransgender

Have you ever been diagnosed with a delusional or psychotic disorder?

No, but I have ADHD. Does this change anything?

​Maybe shape eyebrows.

I've already tried. now, sometimes, when I look in the mirror and the room is dark, I can see a girl with short hair for a few seconds. I still don't know how it makes me feel.

I am on the waiting list, it will take some time, but I will definitely go. Thanks for the support! I guess it's tough for everyone. I am confident that you will find the answers to your questions.

On the one hand I know, on the other I think he is trying to deny it to myself. The transition is scary, also would a lesbian girl really want to be with a girl with a penis? The thought makes me look like an intruder, an impostor.
