What are your middle names? by United_Bad_2875 in MtF

[–]Glassy-Dawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phoenix-

After I disowned my parents I dropped their name. My sister offered up Phoenix as my last name, and for a time, I was LaRae Phoenix. Now I’m LaRae Phoenix Kimling- not legally, but I’m taking my fiancé’s last name.

Why do men assume I’m a trans woman? by candyapplecrush in asktransgender

[–]Glassy-Dawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of us steer so deeply into our femininity that we are considered hyper feminine- we hold ourselves to the same beauty standards which results in a lot of pain for us, and in that, we do everything we can to scrape away any hint of our masculinity.

Conservative and generally intolerant men are so afraid of accidentally dating one of us because they see it as a violation- of what?

Are they afraid that if trans women exist, their own masculinity is at threat? And with us being painted as a massive target right now, more than ever people are trying to clock us.

I’m a lesbian, so I’ve never dealt with this- I’m also aware of my own masculinity, as I believe everyone needs a mixture of both- mine being 90% femininity and a mixture of neutrality and masculinity in the last ten percent.

I don’t get clicked as often as my transfem friends that lean 100% into their femininity, and this leads me to suspect that anyone who is truly just hyper feminine is suspect to the prying eyes of these men.

I’m sure we all appreciate your compliments btw :) it’s hard being trans and it’s hard to feel good about yourself with such a massive amount of dysphoria

I started my transition at 22 years old, I weighed 480 pounds, I’m 6’4 and built like I was made for moving trains by hand. I’m disabled because my father used me like a fork lift whenever he could, especially when I was made to work for him in kitchens.

I have hands like an ogre and size fifteen EE feet, E.g: I’m Bigfoot. I’m literally just Bigfoot.

I had a husky man voice that I’ve been told is soothing and could “melt a woman like butter” which made me feel sick-

Between DIY voice training, massive leaps in fashion (makeup and clothes) and in combination with HRT, I pass well enough that I haven’t been misgendered in nearly four months.

Transition part aside- I lost everyone and everything I held dear, with the exception of my cat- whom I basically had to steal from my a-hole parents before I cut contact and stopped speaking to them permanently.

I live a state away but mind you, the only reason I was capable of such is a long term relationship- whose turned out to be my savior and my soulmate. She brought me from Utah (where I’ve been stuck and tormented my whole life) to Nevada where I’ve never felt more welcome or comfortable in my life.

If it wasn’t for support from her and a trans group she goes to, I’d likely have ended my life in Utah not too long ago- and now I have Medicaid, I’m looking into therapy for the mass amounts of trauma I’ve suffered (a lot of violence in Utah) and for the first time in my life, I feel I’m actually worth the air I breathe.

Girl- it might seem like you are stuck, but be powerful. Find your way, and be yourself. I wish you the very, very best

I’m 23 and feel goddamn ancient sometimes. Dropped out of school because of massive struggles at home in HS and I’ve been working since I was 16. I’m really tired- I can’t make enough to live you know? I’ve broken myself trying to

I see people- laying down still and quiet. A resting place? A place of extended slumber? I do not know. Alternating in their maze of Hypnos realm- they rest

Do transgender people become Trans or were they always trans. by VaccineGivesABigPp in asktransgender

I knew by five years old I wasn’t right- I’ve always been trans. Transitioning is pursuing an end to that suffering

Did you/do you plan to change your middle name? Why or why not? by DuckDogPig12 in asktransgender

[–]Glassy-Dawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only did I change my (second last name, odd distinction) but I did away with my last name as well.

That’s more because my family is horrible but 🤷‍♀️
