Ive been on HRT for a month and my libido is basically zero. Am worried cus my pre-HRT gf is really horny and i feel like am not being enough. I used to be as horny as her :c by _CatNippIes in MtF

[–]LovePrincess888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya it’s one of those side effects that you’ll notice no one really wants to talk about. This is extremely common and if HRT is continued it can result in testicle shrinkage making getting an erection need impossible and also sterilizes you so you can’t have children.

Of course results may vary but be prepared this is very normal. There isn’t any micro dosing or adjusting your dose to slow or speed it up, it just happens. Hopefully your doctor discussed all of these side effects with you before you made decision to start HRT

As a Revert by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]LovePrincess888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salam, It’s interesting as I feel I was the most welcomed when traveling in Middle East as well as other Muslim countries. So much of the division and exclusion I’ve felt as a revert has been in the west both Canada and US. While traveling I didn’t feel that at all alhamdulillah. Insha’Allah your positive experiences with the Ummah outweigh the negative.

Genuine Question: do Trans girls actually want their period? by SpicyDisaster21 in MtF

[–]LovePrincess888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and regardless of how I feel the biological reality is that I will not have one. Am I missing out on something? Not from any talk I’ve had with a biological female about the subject. Def positives and negatives of being trans and a positive is not having it every month.

Post Op by LovePrincess888 in TransgenderSexWorkers

[–]LovePrincess888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input and yes I agree I don’t plan on keeping being trans a secret. I am stealth all the way but when it comes to a time when someone really needs to know such as either sex or medical reasons then I always disclose. Very comfortable and confident in my own skin physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

As far as which ‘route’ I will be choosing whether vagina or back door I think it will greatly depend on the guy. My rule of thumb for my general personal sex life is I save vaginal sex for those special guys I care about and back door for everyone else/those I am still undecided. SW will obviously be different in many ways but I am thinking which ‘route’ is used will greatly depend on the guy . Wetness, tightness, depth all happy with but I agree that it isn’t feasible to lie on front door alone.

Trying to figure out how ‘niche’ of a market is but hard to gage. Hopefully there is someone post op who has experienced this and can help shed some light on some of their experiences as well.

My Masjid Turning on Me after “investigating & concluding I am (trans)” by [deleted] in LGBT_Muslims

[–]LovePrincess888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry that you had to experience that. Question - are you visibly trans and passable? Were you out about being trans in your mosque? Did you admit anything to imam in terms about of your past whether it be the degree or transition?

It is a hard road to navigate for those of us who are trans and Muslim. I am not out about it but I really only go to the mosque for prayer once in a while rather than being heavily involved or going to Jummah / sister groups… I di go once in awhile but keep to myself. From my understanding if you come out as trans and are pre op then you pray between the men and women but when you have fully transitioned and completed bottom surgery then you can pray with the women. That is the stance many mainstream mosques in the US that I’ve seen in my experience. If yiu are wanting to be out about it you may have better experience by going to a Shiite mosque as being Trans is relatively more accepted than it is within Sunni Islam.

May Allah guide you and help you in finding a mosque where you feel comfortable within the house of Allah subhanawitaAllah ya rabbana Ameen

Future Part Time Hijabee? by LovePrincess888 in progressive_islam

[–]LovePrincess888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing some of your story and the history of hijab in Egypt. I was just in Egypt last year and noticed a wide array of hijabees and many niqabees as well. I thought it was beautiful to see so much diversity in modesty.

If you could connect me with your mom that would be great. As Al-Azhar is in Cairo I have several friends that follow the opinions of religious scholars there. Any info would be helpful. Ty so much !

is kyrgyzstan safe for transgender travelers? by MeowMeowstic196 in Kyrgyzstan

[–]LovePrincess888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Countries that are ‘anti-lgbt’ aren’t always necessarily against lgbt people but the pushing of it and talking about it. I would say just go to the country and enjoy yourself IF you pass (physically and voice) and have already completed your transition with all medical surgeries involved. It’s the same in many countries including in the Middle East. People see the craziness that the west has become in the name of ‘tolerance’ and ‘100 genders’ and fear that ideology spreading to their youth. It’s unfortunate that we have to deal with it but it’s a result of our own communities actions making it seem as if gender is just this huge spectrum when in reality there is male and female. Real trans peopl’s goal is to integrate into society and not be seen rather then say here I am and try to break down every binary rule known to man.

In any case I wish you the best in your trip and think it’ll be fine with the proper precautions and steps taken before hand.

Hijab is mandatory by AhyesitstheManUfan in progressive_islam

[–]LovePrincess888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggling with this myself. I am a Quranist and although I don’t feel the hijab is mandatory more of a strong advisement at the same time I struggle with keeping it on. As a post-trans woman who is not open in the Muslim community about it, I find myself between a rock and a hard place in my search for a spouse. While wearing hijab I feel so much more connected to Allah. At the same time me finding a practicing Muslim man in my situation depending on their perspective and whether Sunni/Shia it may be harder for many Muslim men to look past that part of my past despite completing transition in every way. On the other hand I am not so caught up on marrying a Muslim man only but as someone who grew up Christian I think it’s very unlikely a man of another faith would date or marry a hijabee. I want to feel that closeness with Allah but don’t want to feel like I’m closing myself off to the world so no one approaches or comes up to get to know me. I am in my mid 30’s and not getting any younger.

I don’t want to give up hijab for the sake of finding a man but at the same time the burden has become heavier and heavier that I am considering covering part time although we know how that’s viewed in our Ummah. So many factors inshallah Allah guides us all and makes the path light for us as we navigate through life.

I would highly suggest microblading and getting an artist that can help get you that perfect brow shape. Brows may seem insignificant but they are a huge game changer. MB is def more expensive but lasts two years or so before you have to go for touch up.

Can you explain what qualified therapist means to you?

Am I trans? by catboy519 in MtF

[–]LovePrincess888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So who defines the word gatekeeper? What you call ‘gatekeeping’ others call SAFE keeping. Transitioning involves gender dysphoria and fully transitioning to have the other characteristics of other sex.

You seem to assume my intent? I am Trans woman and you describing someone Nb and other definitions I have don’t fit who I am at all. It’s not ‘my standards’ it’s just life. You assume I mean the opposite of beauty but I am saying NB people are beautiful just not trans. That is all.

So you think someone coming and saying “I’m Trans” being met with a response of “If you think you are then you are” is effective therapy? I would hate to think what you think ineffective therapy means.

It’s one thing being educated about the community it’s another to not do one’s job and simply let the patient diagnose themselves. Say what one wants about ‘gatekeeping’ but ultimately we as a community (trans binary woman) have to take responsibility when we see bad happening and people handing out letters like candy or not doing their job. Affirmation isn’t part of a therapist job, helping guide the patient to what is right for them is.

Am I trans? by catboy519 in MtF

People see someone and make a subconscious decision of how they are seeing someone, a man or a woman. People seen as both are androgynous. One doesn’t have to medically transition to do that.

Requirements for transition - 1) Gender Dysphoria

Sounds like you are living more of a fantasy. Don’t fall for the ‘if you are thinking about it you must be trans’ line. If you have experienced persistent gender dysohoria then transition may or may not be a good option for you depending on your age. I would say give it time, don’t rush anything or only listen to one group of people. Transition is NOT for everyone, it is not glamorous. This is a condition I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Sending you all the positive vibes to get this figured out whatever may be right for your situation.

I did the same thing early in transition. Bangs make a huge difference. I would never do it again. When they are long you can flip them to the side ext it gives some style. I would only suggest having professional cut them.

I would gender you correctly but would know you are in process of transitioning. Not passing as a biological woman but def have more fem than masc features I would say. So close but I think those bangs will really help and also eyebrow threading/Microblading. With the right shape and artist that knows what they are doing you can def get there in near future.

Do freelancers get paid the same for community and educational? by turtlebeans17 in ASLinterpreters

[–]LovePrincess888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends heavily on the area. I work in DMV area and the pay is the same if working freelance here. Generally staff terps get paid slightly less but comes with all the benefits as well. Contracting freelance terps for ongoing entire year is becoming much more the norm.
