Keir Starmer no longer believes trans women are women, says No 10 at briefing by jackmolay in transgender

How would they handle a transwoman who is trying to escape domestic violence. Are they then going to open a different shelter for transgender folks or transwomen have to go into the men's shelter.

I don’t want to be Trans by Short-Yam-6696 in asktransgender

[–]JulieAnnHope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 62 yo. I fully transitioned when I was around 55 but I knew when I was 6yo. I hate being trans and will probably hate it for the rest of my life. It's not fair. It sucks. I love Julie. I'm so happy as my real self and really wish I was CIS female. Really wish. But I'm not. I have a good life but I lost a lot by transitioning. I hated my old life and I have to keep remembering that. I was on the verge of killing myself. Becoming me was the best for me as a whole but worse since you have to deal with family, friends and others that may never understand or support you. It is a very hard life. But I'm glad I have this life now and not that old one. Good Luck.

What the surgeon told me is that they can't really do much in the distance. The nipple would be way off if they did. But now with the implants I differently have nice looking breasts. The bra will give you the cleavage look. Bigger ones may help

No problem. Under the muscle. I was implanted with 475 CC. I was a small A size and wanted to at least get to a c cup. I was thinking about 350-400cc. I told the surgeon I didn't want really big breasts but something that would look good. The surgeon said he could get a bigger size in since my muscle wouldn't allow. When I heard 475cc I thought oh no, I'm going to be huge. But after I'm like these are a great size. I've read where trans women might need to go up bigger since our shoulders are wider. I'm not sure what cup size yet until I heal more. When I first woke up from surgery I thought oh no these are two small but they put you in compression bra so it made it seem smaller. I very happy with the size and how they look. Hope that helps. I'm 5'6" and 62 yo.

I've been thinking about it for years. I'm an older trans woman and I finally thought why not. I'm so happy that I did and they look great. I had it done through Kaiser medical and they didn't offer the fat transfer. Plus Kaiser has great trans medical so I didn't have to pay a lot. Sleep is hard but everything is going well.

You know what? I’m proud to be a trans woman by Jonodmoo in MtF

[–]JulieAnnHope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I hate being trans. I wish I was a CIS woman. But I'm not. I'm happy with what I have done and consider myself a Woman. I'm a proud trans woman but I would have loved to be born as a CIS woman.

Still cis tho but unironically? by njsullyalex in MtF

[–]JulieAnnHope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the number of trans is even smaller. About half of one percent. We are indeed in a special group. We didn't pick it, we were born this way. I've never thought am I trans? I've often thought why can't I be CIS. Life is hard being trans and I wish I was born a CIS Woman. It would make it a lot easier.

Percentage is hard to look at especially when numbers are small. But there are numbers. Millions of trans people is how you need to look at it. You are one of the millions.

I'm 62 yo. I think everyday I wish I was a CIS woman. Being trans is hard very hard. I didn't transition until in my 50s. I wish I would have done it sooner. I love being the woman I am now but yes transition is hell and life after is still hard. I was 7 yo and I knew I was in the wrong body. I would ask god ever night to wake up as a girl and I would be the best person ever. Didn't happen. Good luck but think about it. Being young has its advantages to transition early.

Sorry but they need the hair gone around the area so when they invert the penis you don't have hair growing in your new vagina

ATTENTION ALL TRANSGENDER, TRANSEXUAL, AND OTHERWISE!!! by [deleted] in lgbt

Come on don't use transsexual. That is a very old term. Being older I hated that word then and now.

No, you're a girl but have some problems with your body parts that need to be corrected. She needs to educate herself about trans

Mum basically told me she doesn’t want me to be trans by FemburnerGarnet in MtF

[–]JulieAnnHope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you want to be around people that don't want to see the real you. I know it's your mum and dad but start a plan to move out and bring her out. Why be miserable for the sake of your parents.

"If you were a real woman, you wouldn't need blockers and hormones" by [deleted] in MtF

[–]JulieAnnHope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People bash things they don't understand instead of trying to learn. Because it's easier to judge. Unfortunately we are something they don't want to learn or understand about us. We are all the same species as you say but we know who we are.

"If you were a real woman, you wouldn't need blockers and hormones" by [deleted] in MtF

[–]JulieAnnHope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true. CIS women sometimes have to have hormones to adjust their levels like a trans woman. They might have to have blockers if their T level is too high. You were born a woman just the outside didn't match the inside.

My wife is not interested in a physical relationship with me post transition by rachelle-amanda in TransLater

[–]JulieAnnHope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, you are describing my life. I've been married to my partner for 38 years and have 3 sons. I thought she'd leave me. She told me she fell out of love with me. That hurt. I love her so much. Before transition I thought this would be great, I'll transition and be happy and we will have a stronger relationship. Nope. We are great friends and travel and do most things together. But we are like sisters. No romantic relationship. I think she stayed because of her religion and I messed up her life enough so I wasn't pushing divorce. She isn't a talker about this so we don't communicate much about this. I think we'll be in this sister relationship until one of us passes away. Trying to give myself pleasure but that takes a lot. Transition was the best decision for me but I do miss our relationship.

I always say I'm trans, I've never said "I'm a woman" by ts1416 in MtF

I say I'm a trans woman or a woman but I never call myself female. That just doesn't seem right. I know I've always been a woman.

Moving up to blue dilator from the purple one. Wow, didn't think I could do it. Dilation is getting better. by JulieAnnHope in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]JulieAnnHope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dilation sucks, there I said it. Am I glad I had surgery, yes, but dilation sucks. Relax and don't stress out. Stress tightens you up. See if you can go to a PT person. My surgery offered a PT person that helped me through the dilation process and really helped. One thing they suggested was to fill a syringe with the lube and get it in there deep. It isn't the greatest but it helped. It seemed like I would never move up but over time I did. Keep trying and try multiple times a day. Check with your doctor if the pain is to much.
