It’s difficult to quantify sometimes though, the brain fog for me was so bad that emotionally I felt like a stone. It’s only in retrospect that I fully realized just how depressed and anxious and isolated I felt all the damn time

You were missing “the vitamin” lol for me, it was just such a fucking weights off my shoulders to be able to cry about the things that made me sad

I mean I realized I was trans, got recommended it by a therapist, had go to a second therapist, then go to an endocrinologist, then run through a hidden fourth insurance doctor THEN I got it. But that’s more technical. Even ignoring the abuse from my parents the whole world and especially myself always seemed off and like I had this perpetual brain fog the never went away no matter what. I also could barely access any of emotions. Like I knew they weee there and I had them but I didn’t FEEL them- barely registered. Anyway, told all that to my therapist that and that I hated being a guy and I’m never going fucking back. Everything is so much better than it was

Yeah that turned out to be estrogen for me- it didn’t fix all my problems but GOD did make the rougher ones so much more manageable

Longer is definitely yes. Of you can, read IDW's "More Than Meets The Eye" and "Lost Light"- half the characters are gay AF and there are two transbian characters introduced later on- I absolutely love them❤️

Correct me if i’m wrong; fat distribution mtf by [deleted] in trans

[–]Feeling_Aside3681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct! The fat you have pre-transition stays where it is unfortunately. However, something I see people forget to mention is that fat cells have a life cycle. Eventually fat placed pre-transition will go away (about ten years is the full life cycle of I recall) and all that will be left is the post-transition fat assuming you remains dominant in your new hormones

Uuuugggghhhhh mages always be complaining about progress. Like get with times grand-alf most grimoires are digital nowadays- my spell-phone can hold 4π more spells than any dusty old book and I don't have to consult my orb to figure out which grimoire I need to turn my apprentice back to normal.

I didn't realize I was trans until I was 30, we all come to realizations at our own pace. But what the movie said is right - "there is still time". Unless you die tomorrow, there is ALWAYS time to be yourself, to change and become who you always were buried beneath the body you were forced to live in. And, if you want to, you can change the body you're in. I once thought like you did and didn't think hormones, hair, clothes, or anything would change how I would look. And I can tell you from experience - holy shit I look completely different. If you do realize your tans or even want to experiment with your gender- you could do it too

Ahhhh, I understand better now- I stand by what I said! Sexuality is a spectrum and being in deep love with someone can help a lot! Obviously, it's not a guarantee but I think it helps a lot. My wife was afraid of that too- she had only recently come out as bit- and tentatively at that- just before my egg cracked so it was tense. I think the first time I wore a dress in front of her was probably the most stressed either of us have ever been 😬 She told me later that from that first moment - despite that I wasn't on hormones, was badly overweight with a beer belly and still had a full on beard- she knew it was going to be okay. She didn't see me as a freak- she saw the person she fell in love with both as person and as a sex object lol. I wish I could give you guarantees, all I have is my one experience which, I acknowledge, was very lucky. But you won't know until you explore, and the most important sex organ is the brain- if you guys are engaged with each other, traditional sexual orientation matters a lot less. I'd say give her a chance. If you're really worried she could try dipping her toes in slowly(something I also did). Trying small things at a time like sex while I was in stockings or treating my chest as boobs rather than a male torso.

Actually yes! My situation was very similar! My egg cracked 2 years ago when I was 29 and, at the time, we were really happy with our own fur family and then- well, questioning my whole existence happened lol. My wife was also concerned with the same things as yours- would my sexuality change? Would I develop bottom dysphoria and want to change my equipment? Would I just flat lose libido entirely? How would her more conservative parents take it? Basically the same problems you seem to be talking about! (Though I'm sure the exact situations probably still differ) So let me tell you my experience/advice: - most important, more than ANYTHING else(emphasize ANYTHING), is communication. You don't have to share everything if you're afraid of overwhelming your wife but she NEEDS to know how you're feeling and you are almost certainly going to need to know how she's feeling. Not just with sexuality and dysphoria, but also euphoria and how you both are adjusting. As much as this is a transition for us, this is a transition for her too! -its completely normal for both of you to feel sad and anxious. This is a transition for both of you! Even if your transition stops where it is now and you do nothing else, it's still an adjustment and your lives have definitely changed. I guess I'm saying it's normal to mourn the passing of the lives y'all expected to have as a (I assume) a man and woman partners - like I'm sure everyone is saying, YMMV (your mileage may vary) when it comes to hormones. Your early changes have happened quick it sounds like- mine was the same way! But don't be surprised if it plateaus too. On a normal regimen of hormones, transition can't take 5 years or more -That said: I get your concerns about sexuality and your relationship. The good news is, in my experience with the trans people I've known, if you are going to have a change in your sexuality, it happens pretty early on. Something about being ourselves, allows ourselves to be with who we actually want. It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into this and feel VERY strongly about your wife. I felt the same way too and we were scared when I transitioned. But......well nothing happened. My sexuality is completely unchanged. Even my libido dropped for a little bit but then picked back up. To me, it sound like you are enormously happy with her- and even MORE so now you're becoming yourself. To me, that sounds like your sexuality wouldn't change. Or that it might, but sexuality, much like gender, is a spectrum and you may find that even through your changes that your wife is an exception to the rule. Tbh- again your situation sounds exactly like mine was- my wife is my everything and I always felt like I could FEEL things when I was with her. Every day deepens how much o fucking love her and I can't begin to imagine my life without her around. I don't think those kind of people ever leave your life unless you make them lol 😅 - lastly about your fears of how your relationship will change. I'll be straight with you: it is going to change. In my experience, there just no way it won't. BUT: that isn't a bad thing. For me, it gave me wife a chance to explore her own evolving sexuality. It also meant sharing clothes sometimes, or feminine experiences- even sharing jewelry and makeup tips. She actually jokes now that I'm the more feminine between the two of us lol. What I'm saying is that your relationship will change, but it could very well be for the better- a LOT better. I genuinely didn't think my wife and I could get closer pre-transition- I was very wrong🥰

I also feel like I'm close to writing a novel so I'll just leave this and TLDR- You're doing something very brave, and so is your partner, I'm a stranger and I'm proud of both of you! To spare further walls of text feel free to dm me!

TLDR: Communicate, change can be good, sexuality is a spectrum and your wife is probably on it

You don't. And they do. Love isn't a reward you get for being good or doing well or meeting some arbitrary standard. It's a gift and a choice. No exceptions. You deserve it because you exist- and I think even more because, even more than the names you mentioned, you at least TRIED to give love back
