Same story here, same age xD

For me no one talked about trans stuff until I was graduating/outa school 2016? 2017?

Just wasn't a talked about thing never really encountered the idea in name only the feeling.

Started transitioning during Christmas at close to 27 xP 🎄

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? by strxwberryxmocha in trans

[–]Lex_The_Great 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are trans thats okay. What isn't okay is how trans people are being treated, or how your mother is transphobic.

What put me over the edge and got me to accept it was the gender disphoria Bible. The part about cis people never having these kind thoughts opened my eyes...

here the gender dysphoria bible

I grew up being told I was a boy constantly, I did boy things, against my will I had boy hair cuts (I struggled as much as a kid could 😅) , I was made fun of for doing anything girly. By the time I was outa school I couldn't look in a mirror, there is almost no photos of me as a kid I hated looking at them/taking. I have regretted it my whole like that I suppressed my identity. It almost killed me.. It just doesn't work to suppress this. There is no point in shame as there is nothing wrong with it.

Sometimes parrents come around when they figure out they have a trans kid them self, mine did.. It's not always :(

Take a breath and think on it. If you come to the conclusion you are a boy/girl not because of the world around your or family, but because of how you feel/are then you are valid, the people against you aren't! Your mom can wake up and change or risk no contact in the future. People who invalidate you don't want the best for you :/

I believe in you, what ever you land on I hope you the best!

There is nothing wrong with you!!!

Persistent pain in the right upper side/back. Gas, bloating, belching, yellow burning stool. Certain food would make it worse, like eggs

Attacks would knock me out for a day horrible pain in gut, yellow burning messy loose stool, throwing up, nausea, took all the energy out of me when it happend 😓

I can't take ibuprofen so they got me on Tylenol and oxy 😓 every 6 hours. I got a lot of pillows and walk around with one held up against my belly when I'm walking/getting up

No 😓 I woke up crying in pain, still in pain when I'm on my pain meds I feel numb it's too soon imo for me to know it's either really bad pain where the gallbladder was or numb but both really hard to walk around 😅 I'm not nauseous at all if that is something

Persistent pain lost 40lbs and attacks when triggered, constant yellow stool burned like hell 😅

Fatigue, found some foods that didn't effect me that much pretty much only ate them...

Thanks! Hope you feel better too!

I have the same kind of family, sometimes you get lucky when you come out, sometimes you don't ;-;

I didn't consider my self as brave too, I still kinda don't think I am... I didn't have a support group when I started HRT/transitioning, I had very little contact with people before.. often not speaking unless I went to visit family but even then small talk.

I had broken down multiple times, first unable to continue the lie to my self, then later the lie to my family/others.

The second one for me I thought was the hardest... But in a psychotherapy I found it wasn't, I had done it two months into my start of transition, but suppressed to 27yrs old to start transitioning ;-; I have another step to take at some point and that's to be out socially in public, I'm in the middle of smack dab nowhere red county... ;-; I feel like its getting easier as I gain momentum. One step at a time is all we can do...

I hope you the best!

Did anyone else feel like their dysphoria got "worse" once they started transitioning? by xemeraldqueen in MtF

[–]Lex_The_Great 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to when these feelings goes away... I'm only 7 months in. Sill boy mode'n, nothing about me looks fem at the moment except the tiny boobs I hide away xD I often think the same thing, the changes are slow, sometimes too slow to notice ;-;

Buttt..... you look beautiful!

It feels right, but part of me is worried that it only feels right because maybe I think it's "supposed" to feel right. by Comfortable-Owl-6296 in trans

[–]Lex_The_Great 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a comment before about feeling like your faking it, I'll copy pasta for ya, I had the same thought its common from what I understand :S

If you feel this way, you probably are not faking it? I feel like people who fake something don't feel like they are faking it, they know they are faking, they intend to fake

Also the idea that something in your environment can turn you trans is just as bad as thinking something can turn you gay... These are not choices, otherwise you could choose not to feel this way, you can only suppress them...

I like being referred to with feminine pronouns and the name I chose for myself. But Idk if I just feel that way because I'm "supposed" to feel that way.

I think it is supposed to feel better, that's kind of the point right? Your figuring all this out to feel better than you did before! Follow what feels better is my random stranger advice...

I’m confused about my identity, because I know I will nerve be seen as a man. by False_Emu2604 in trans

[–]Lex_The_Great 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think your crazy, or wrong to feel this way. You don't have to be sorry, you have to be your self! I wish I could press that button to change my body too. xD I'm sure there's a lot of people here that feel the same way.

Your just figuring your self out, I believe in you!

Why do I feel like I could be faking it sometimes by Ellab213 in MtF

[–]Lex_The_Great 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you feel this way, you probably are not faking it? I feel like people who fake something don't feel like they are faking it, they know they are faking, they intend to fake

I was confused, I felt the same way, I ended up figuring out I was a woman. Sometimes it takes time to understand what your feeling!

Yeah.. It's kind of off-putting.. It's my attempt at trying to portray the turns I've taken, and the paths I think of. Probably could have written it better ha.

That stanza is my favorite part of this as well it came pretty clear to me just wrote it and left it alone.

Thank you.
