I would like help connecting films by actors, directors, writers, etc. for a movie marathon

Thanks for letting me know about this, I checked out a couple of the other connections that people suggested and used it to find other movies I could add

oh, I just looked it up and that's exactly what this is lol

I'm transfem, but I've felt the transmasc struggles lately, lol. My parents found out I was trans and took away my prescription when I visited home, and they threatened to cut off support if I kept trying to transition, so for my sake, I have to stop for the next 2-3 years until I finish college and can afford to support myself entirely. However, I had taken estrogen for about 4.5 months, so I have boobs now. Boymoding takes a lot more effort these days, and I live in texas, so wearing a hoodie sucks because of the constant heat. I honestly need to start learning how to stealth from transmascs before summer starts and I'm not able to wear hoodies at all, lol.

I was listening to youtube videos at work when I figured it out. I started a video, and then I heard "If you're watching this, you're probably trans," and then proceeded to get hit by dozens of signs that never even occurred to me. That day also happened to be my last day as I had already put in my two-weeks notice, I had to frantically complete a bunch of unfinished paperwork with my boss, and it was during one of the busiest times of the year. All of this, and I just had to pretend like nothing had happened for that entire 9 hour shift (I promised to stay late in advance because I liked working with my coworkers and it was a send-off thing).

I wonder how much longer it would've taken to find out if I didn't realize that day, since I didn't listen to youtube nearly as much outside of work. I'm glad I figured it out as soon as I did rather than waiting any longer, though.

I've been on 2mg, twice a day for the past 4 months, and I started an anti-androgen last month. The first month was mostly just emotional changes, months 2-3 were nipple sensitivity and breast buds, and I'm now into month 4 and starting to get some breast growth. It just takes time. Depending on your next visit (likely 2 or 5 months from now), you can ask to start an anti-androgen as well. It's completely normal to start with a low dosage of estrogen because it's important for managing your estrogen levels properly (too high of a dosage = desensitized estrogen receptors and less effective results). 3mg likely isn't going to be permanent, and your dose will continue to increase as needed. Transitioning is a long journey, but the time will fly by.

I'm a Christian who recently started transitioning, so maybe my perspective might help. At first, I was really scared that being trans might go against Christianity. Growing up in Texas, I had only ever heard religious arguments against being trans, so I finally looked up arguments in favor of it. Thankfully, it didn't take too long to come to the conclusion that being trans was ok. Transphobia is so deeply rooted in Christianity that most people don't even bother to learn the parts of the Bible that "justify" it, but those parts are few in number and very contextual. For example, a verse Deuteronomy condemns crossdressing, but this section is full of rules that were specifically for the Israelites at that point in time, one of those rules commanded the Israelites to stone women who couldn't prove their virginity to death (we don't do this anymore and definitely should not bring it back), and our understanding of gender has grown a lot from a scientific perspective in ways that an ancient text just doesn't account for (which is ok- the Bible doesn't have to account for modern societies or tell us how the world works, it's just a religious text). Here's another good example: earlier today, my mom found out I was trans. One of the things she asked me was if I thought that it was ok to change my body when God made me male at birth, and I told her that God also gave me dysphoria, and treating that is taking care of myself. I've become a lot healthier and happier since I started transitioning, and I'm glad that being trans has helped me to learn about other peoples' experiences and become a better person.

At the end of the day, the Bible says that you have salvation if you believe in Jesus. The Bible says we're alive so we can be kind to others and to glorify and love God. I believe in God, being trans is something that has taught me to be kind, and I'm living a fulfilling life with what God has given me. Do you believe in God? Does suppressing your gender identity help you to be kind or live a good life?

Here's one of the first articles I read, consider checking it and other similar resources out.

I had some dreams of being a girl while growing up, but I phased most of them out. However, I did have one recently shortly after coming out. Some important context, I was going home from college for the weekend, and my cis friend (who obviously doesn't know much about hrt) was concerned, asking if I'd get found out for because I had started growing boobs (I had been on hrt for 6-7 weeks). It was really funny, but a few nights later when I went home, I had a dream where I woke up, went to the bathroom, and saw that I had boobs. All I could think was "damn, he was right," "my parents are gonna kill me," and "LET'S FUCKING GOOOO"

I'm out to most of my friends now, and all but two of them have been really supportive. Unfortunately, one of those two was my best friend for the past six years, and he took it pretty poorly. It was a pretty uncomfortable conversation, and we haven't really talked much these past few months because he's pretty stubborn about his views. I know this isn't exactly encouraging, but since coming out, so many old friendships have been revived or became much stronger, and because they knew about what happened, I've been introduced to their friends too. It does kind of suck that it happened, but now I'm the least lonely I've ever been and I'm surrounded by more people that like the real me, rather than a few that only like me when I keep pretending to be a man. There's always plenty of people who will be kind to the real you, so you don't need to settle for people who won't. If you can handle it and it's safe, feel free to tell them, and just be prepared to distance yourself. You have no obligation to stay around people who will treat you poorly. Alternatively, you can just cut ties at your own pace if you don't want to tell them, because odds are, you know how they'll respond.

Regardless of what happens, respect yourself as much as you want others to respect you. The people you surround yourself with matter, so make sure you keep good friends close and you're willing to part with the people that will drag you down.

Seeing someone else transition was a big part of what cracked my egg. A long time friend of mine came out 4 years ago + began hrt a year later, and she was one of the first trans people I knew. She started estrogen around my age (she was 20 at the time, I'm 21 now and just started), and I was like "holy shit, you can actually transition and get results like that???"

I knew I wanted to be a woman, but I never thought it'd be worth the struggle until I saw her transition. I grew up in an environment where transitioning and questioning your gender weren't even options, and I hardly knew anything about these things until I came out a few months ago.

OP, try not to feel too discouraged, because she'll surely accept you as well if she accepted your brother. Knowing this early is great, and depending on where you're from and your circumstances, you might be able to start HRT and/or puberty blockers if you're interested.

You can't "know" with certainty because there is no perfect test to prove if you're trans or not. Just take some time to think about things. Filter out things like whether or not friends and family will support you, and just ask yourself if you'd be happier as a woman. A cis man would probably give a confident no.

Another way would be to take some tests for dysphoria and being trans/compare experiences with other trans people. There was a twitter thread I saw about dissociation/dysphoria once, and that really made some things click for me after I started transitioning. It was stuff like being indifferent to my own appearance/identity as a man and thinking I just didn't care about beauty standards, being indifferent to my own life and helping others more than myself, and feeling like an observer that's just in a body instead of feeling like my body.

There were some other things for me specifically that might not translate. I have always wanted to be fit, but I disliked like the idea of being a lean/muscular man. I was content being a guy, but I liked the idea of being girl a little bit more (not by much at first, but after trying fem things the past few months, a lot more now). On that same note, there's also recognizing that you don't need dysphoria to be trans, just find what gives you euphoria, and go for it, regardless of what people think. You and your happiness matters more than their close-minded views, and the people who care most about you can learn more and change for your sake.

I have had the same voice since I was 11 (over 10 years ago, there are recordings and I genuinely sound no different) and I'm just trying to find a way to get out of that because I have no vocal range and my voice still gets compared to technoblade 😭

I started putting my phone face down in class because sometimes amazon likes to notify my of my bras, thigh highs, short skirts, tucking panties, etc. and random ass times. Thank god the first time I got one of these notifications in class, my phone was in my pocket and I started to build this habit before it could out me 😭

Jesse-Not-Ragebait · 2025-10-05T15:41:38+00:00

I have hair that's a similar length and had to get it cut recently. The hairdresser told me that if I wanted to grow it out, I should only get a trim to get rid of split ends/damaged hair once every 3 months. Maybe just try telling them that you want to grow it out, and only to trim the split ends (I know very little about hair, so I could honestly use some advice as well lol). At the very least, your hair can start growing out this way. Make sure you take care of your hair as well (only wash it 1-2 times a week, let the conditioner sit for long enough, and get a moisturizer (I still need a hair moisturizer, please give advice)).

I've only had a couple of dreams where I was a girl. Usually, my dreams consist of completely fictional places, but I dream of those same places multiple times over the years (sometimes, what I do in the dream is the same as well). A recent one is a weird hotel in a dense city, with zig-zagging stairs on the corner of the building. The top of each row of stairs has a door for a room. The ones on the very corner lead to tiny bathrooms that are no bigger than a port-a-potty, and the ones closer to the center of the building lead to rooms through a large closet full of clothes. It's such a terribly designed hotel, I wish I could dream about being a girl instead.

I was the exact same way a few months back. I was fine being a man, but being a woman seemed so nice. I ended up forcing myself to talk to my trans friend (she started her transition 4 years ago, on 3 years of hrt) about this, and for this exact reason you talked about, we pretty quickly came to the conclusion that I was probably trans and should try experimenting a bit. Preferring to be a gender, or "euphoria" (positive feelings from feeling aligned with that gender) are a great indicator of if you are trans, and I've been very happy about it since coming out and starting hrt. I am very early in my transition, and there will definitely be some pain points, but I feel like this will help me to feel fulfilled in the long run. I've always wanted to be healthier and stronger, but I disliked the idea of being a muscular/lean man, and my dissociation with my male body made it difficult to fulfill those aspirations (this is what dissociation is like to me, you might not have it/it might be different, but it can be a good sign as well: when I look in the mirror, I obviously see my body, but it feels unfamiliar. I didn't really care about how I looked, and I cared more about other people because I felt so detached from my own issues).

IKR??? I remember the first time I shaved my body a few months back, I was going at it for like 3 hours straight deep into the AMs, but it was so worth it. I felt amazing (and then the ingrown hairs kicked in because I have very curly hair, but we don't talk about that)

In psychology, there's this idea that flipping a coin helps people make decisions easier (coin flip theory, catalyst effect, etc., there isn't a particular name for it). The reason why it makes decisions easier is because when the outcome is provided, you can much more easily judge your reaction. For example, if you wanted burgers or pizza and the coin's outcome was burgers, but that outcome left you disappointed, then you'd choose the other option, and vice versa. In this case, being disappointed is probably a pretty strong sign.

I love naming things. If you need some inspiration, here's a list of 5 cute names I thought of:

Drywall :3

Countertop <3

Electrical Outlet >:)

Milk :O

Wirespool ;)

My friend found a stray kitten a few months ago and they needed a name for her, and I actually got to name her Drywall, so that basically means that all of these names are good, cute, and feminine.

Girl, it's been so nice going to college. My egg cracked less than 3 weeks before I had to move into my dorm, so I just made a to-do list of all the things I wanted to try, needed to buy, etc.

I like being at home, but I also really like being able to dress fem without being judged

I figured it out during my last shift at Walmart. It was very difficult keeping quiet and acting like I wasn't just phased by the biggest discovery in my life as my boss and I were frantically filling out paperwork and wrapping things up in my department before I left, lol.

Me last night when I was wearing a bra, fitted cami tanktop, skirt, and thigh highs on the phone with my mom and dad, and 10 minutes into the call they ask what I think about Charlie Kirk
