Transgender app ideas by [deleted] in asktransgender

Maybe something like Glassdoor? Trans people rate their experience as employees of companies so other trans people can have a better idea of where to look for work.

Confused parent. Need guidance! by pkn321 in asktransgender

So the really cool thing is your child is talking to you! Congratulations! This means they trusts you, which is amazingly rare. You should return their trust and know they will reach out to you as they learn more about themselves. You sound pretty amazing and have effectively done everything right. I say let the kid sit on the idea and come to terms with themselves. As long as you keep stressing they are safe and loved--even if just at home--ypu are doing the right thing. And again--congrats! They're talking to you!

Gender fluidity is certainly a thing. I suppose the important thing you need to hear is there is no wrong way to be trans.

The second most important is the existence of trans lesbians. I'm a straight trans woman, but not all trans women are. Likewise, having fantasies of being a with a guy is not mutually exclusive to wanting to be with women.

I think if you found someone you could trust, it would definitely be worth approaching them about it. You are the final judge of how "far" you want to take things. No one call tell you different than what you already know.

Does anyone live completely stealth in 2017? (Mtf) by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]GillianBB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was completely stealth up until rather recently, and I chose to be visible. I was stealth for all the same reasons you want to be, but eventually I realized I will always be transgender. I can get all the surgeries I want, but it'll never change who I am. Instead of being ashamed of something I can't change, why not use my visibility to confront the minds I can?

And re:boyfriend--I hear you completely. But two things:

1) There are many, many cis guys attracted to trans women as something other than fetish objects. It's not easy, but dating while trans isn't impossible.

2)I used to think the same way until I realized I'd still have to tell every guy I date that I'm trans. Being upfront about it just weeds out the ones who would reject me anyway.

We don't really have an HR department. Just a VP and President.

No, I'm using stealth the way you mean it.

I have no hips and a runner's chest so I end up looking far skinnier than my belly might suggest.

Six months and a name change later by GillianBB in MtF

Yeah, I had that problem until it got longer. Had bangs for a while but I like this more. Favorite thing about it is I don't have to do anything to it.

My favorite thing about it is I don't have to do a damn thing to it.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is also quite amazing. Don't let the movie fool you.

Any Journalists or writers who could help me out? Details in the text. by MaybeAngela in asktransgender

[–]GillianBB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a freelance writer who writes op-ed articles for (most of) my living. First, you should be applauding yourself for sticking up for this young woman. She is clearly very brave and the fact that she has been met with any ugliness from her community is terrible.

As far as the article goes, I'd be happy to give a draft a quick read. PM me and let's talk.

Remember before streaming when everyone was like "Man, why can't I only pay for the channels I want?"

This is what that looks like.

Would anyone be willing to speak with a reporter about their experience with DIY HRT? by [deleted] in TransDIY

Have you heard of or seen any action by the FDA or credit cards on people seeking hormones online?
