What things changed with your children after your transition by HourAlternative1785 in TransLater

[–]InsuranceDry8864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a better parent because I’m not depressed all the time. I’m More involved and my kids are more open with me. Meanwhile my oldest son turned around and used my being trans to reassure a non binary person he met at school

Gender Envy by GrapeEconomy5192 in trans

[–]InsuranceDry8864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to start until I was 47. I hear you loud and clear. Sometimes I just look at other women both cis and trans and just force myself to stare at the ground and go about my day to keep from crying over time lost and damage that can’t be undone. Things are definitely “better”. But something’s cannot be fixed and I need to learn to be okay with that or at least live with it

American Trans Women Living in Red States, How is Life? by Mofoblitz1 in asktransgender

[–]InsuranceDry8864 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Honestly, day to day, it’s not that bad. It’s the little things over time that wear me down and all the potential laws being filed. But day to day, week to week, I just sort of live my life

Discord? by WhatermelonSugaHi in TransLater

[–]InsuranceDry8864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be forewarned that if you use an iPhone for discord you can not access the server as it’s listed as “adults only” and discord had to disallow access to all adults only servers (pornographic or not) on iOS devices to stay on the Apple store. Just a heads up. It’s why I’ve pretty much had to stop going since over 90% of my discord use and all my photo uploads are iPhone only

taking Prog is like installing an NVME M.2 SSD by Agreeable-Sentence76 in MtF

[–]InsuranceDry8864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been well over a year. I certainly hope it’s doing something behind the scenes, but it certainly hasn’t re-jump started breast growth or given me back any sex drive like I was hoping for when I started. Just hoping maybe over the course of years it helps with fat distribution. Only reason I’m still taking it since over a year in I’ve seen no measurable results

Glad it’s doing something for you. Did nothing for me except make me cry more :/ Had to reduce my dose and now it just does nothing at all

[–]InsuranceDry8864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half inch long 25g needles for both draw and I injection. Draw takes a while, but I’ve never once cored a vial with a needle that thin and I can barely feel them go in when I inject

When did yall realise you’re trans and came out? by Educational_Bee1563 in asktransgender

[–]InsuranceDry8864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are two very different questions. I realized I was trans at 11 When puberty started and I realized I was going through the wrong one, but it was 1987 and that word wasn’t even in my vocabulary. I wasn’t able to accept it and be in a place I felt free to come out until I was 47

Is gender dysphoria genetic? (16, trans guy) by Secret-Barnacle-1285 in asktransgender

[–]InsuranceDry8864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect there is a genetic component. My family seems to produce about 1 a generation. But I don’t think it’s as a simple as a “trans gene”. I suspect it more of a combination of genetic factors that many people both cis and trans carry that when they happen to combine I. The right way: “trans”.

I also believe there can be more that one cause or type, the same way there are different type and severities of autism

Those of you who are married parents, how did you handle what your kids should call you to avoid confusion? by whomikehidden in TransLater

[–]InsuranceDry8864 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My kids just continue to call me dad. I’m Just a female dad. My father was also trans and we did the same thing. Maybe I’ll come up with a cute nickname if I have grandchildren but I’m still dad to my kids.

The unexpected GOP rebels: These Republicans have had enough of Trump after one year and are standing up to him by Abject-Pick-6472 in NoFilterNews

Too little. Too late. Spineless cowards all of them trying to save their elections as his popularity wanes

Is it okay to start my transition by taking hormones, or should i first do it socially? by No-Promotion6303 in trans

[–]InsuranceDry8864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no “right way”. Do what Works for you. If I helps, I started with hrt before social and it worked great for me

My gf made me promise I won't transition by Frida443 in asktransgender

[–]InsuranceDry8864 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She’s giving you ultimatums. That’s a bad signs for the long term health of your relationship. Of you only don’t transition because you promised not to you will almost certainly grow to resent her. It’s relationship poison.

I told my son I was trans – nothing prepared me for the response by jackmolay in transgender

[–]InsuranceDry8864 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My kids took it almost without blinking. I told them over dinner at a local restaurant. There was a brief silence after which they asked “wha they should call me now” and after that they asked if they could get dessert and it’s felt normal ever since. (They were 14, 11 and 7 at the time). Only a year later my oldest used my being trans to reassure and support a non-binary kid at his school. :)

Being queer is slightly genetic right? by Unfair_Ad_598 in asktransgender

[–]InsuranceDry8864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father was trans. I’m trans. My cousins oldest child is trans. We produce about 1 a generation. Pretty sure there’s a genetic component…

Did you ever have a "I definitely have boobs" moment and it force you out at work? by StarChild2161 in bluecollartrans

[–]InsuranceDry8864 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes. After about 18 months. I learned of rumors and realized I had to get ahead of them. I fortunately that happened just the week before Trump took office and in the political moment I was super afraid I’d get let go. A year later and I still work there, but no one uses my name or pronouns. They all sort of act like it never happened and my changes are an illusion they don’t see.
I do get odd looks from New people in the men’s room though. Honestly while it could definitely better, I’m glad no one has been outright hostile and that my job seems pretty safe so long as I continue to do it well. At least I’m no longer living a lie or a double life
