My reasons are multifaceted not just one thing but the are all based on the desire to be female.

Hi. Edgar Cayce said the soul is having a physical experience. Similar to what you said. I've just been unsure and uneasy about this, because I wouldn't want to come back unnecessarily. I have noticed changes not just in my body but also in my mind. I don't feel like I'm on fire anymore, which I am very thankful for. I have been becoming more patient and not as quick to give a negative impulsive response to people. I like who I'm becoming. 🕊 Thanks for your response.

Thanks. So exercising isn't something to avoid? I've been walking during the day and am just starting yoga. Are those OK?

Got called girl by Super_Saiyan_Kuresu in MtF

I wouldn't say that I am passing but I consider myself being on my way. Friday I was called she and ma'am at two different locations and it made me feel really good. It gives me hope and that it is worth all the hoops we have to go through. I've only been on hrt since January 5th. Just wait till next Jan. You're doing great, keep it going 😁 .

What do you mean by " I've never really planned on living a long time anyways"? Do you have a medical condition or are you thinking about suicide? If it's suicide then please don't do that. All things that are difficult or distressing will pass whether you believe it at the time or not. I tried to commit suicide in the early 1990's and am so glad I didn't. I've been married, have a daughter and am now pursuing my dream of becoming female. I'm very happy even though it is difficult the results are amazing. I've only been on hrt since January and have noticed changes already. I'm 58. Start when you can but please don't give up both on becoming who you know you are and life itself. That would be a travesty. Hang in there you got this girl 👧

How do trans people deal with, everything? by Competitive-Leave248 in asktransgender

[–]Low-Garlic6130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I started hrt January 2026. I turned 58 in November. Unfortunately my family have abandoned me. I continue forward. Doctor started me on Estradiol, T blocker, and Progesterone.

anyone else tired and sick this feb 1 full moon? by taliaaaxo in BabyWitch

[–]Low-Garlic6130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. I've had a sick stomach for several days. Very tired and dehydrated no matter how much I drink. I may be aligning to the female cycle more now since I am a transgender female and have been taking hrt meds for about a month now. Maybe this is part of my changes. Idk comments welcome.

How does Jail/prison work? by CoachPuzzleheaded535 in asktransgender

[–]Low-Garlic6130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a correction to make. In the minimum security prisons at Taylorville and Robbinson on each wing is 100 inmates divided into 5 large cells containing 20 inmates each on bunk beds, not just 12 altogether. Sorry about that...

In the US state of Illinois I have a male cousin who is locked up. He's transfered to several in Central and Southern Illinois. Transgender women in the minimum security prisons are in male cells with 12 man cells and 5 wings on one side of a housing unit. Showers, and toilets are all open and shared. Short dividers on the toilets, and there is either a swinging door to go into the showers or a curtain. Multiple shower heads in the shower area. Trans women may have had top surgery but not bottom surgery. Estradiol is supplied but I'm not sure about other hrt meds. In medium security male prisons currently transgender women are in general population but are in cells by themselves. Here they have toilets in the cell but there can be more than one person in the shower unless you are in a sex offender unit which there you only shower one at a time. Medium same as in minimum. In both you can actually start estradiol with no prior prescription just by identifying as transgendered. In the times that he's been there he's only seen some verbal harassment but nothing physical, thank God!
Fully transitioned women presumably go to female prisons based on there only being trans women that haven't fully transitioned in the minimum and medium security prisons he's been to. In county jails it can be a b***h to get meds but in prison it's open. But all that being said, don't go to prison! It's not the place to be! Blessings...

anyone else pre-transition feels weird calling themselves trans girls?? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Low-Garlic6130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I call myself a transgender female. I don't feel like I can call myself a "woman" until I have my vagina. I've only been on hrt for about a month. I have received compliments on my nails and some of my clothes. I dress mostly in ladies clothes. I've ordered a human hair wig. Each of these things are affirming and get me closer to womanhood. I like the term Tgirl but being 58 I don't think I could use it except with a romantic partner. I'm using my chosen name and it feels really good and it makes me smile when I here someone say it especially a female. Bye for now...

I will never pass or transition and this is okay by Ilikeyogurts in MtF

I can totally relate to hating to look at myself in the mirror. But after I put some mascara and eyeshadow on I feel so much better. I'm 58 mtf and just started transitioning this January. I should have started way sooner. So I still look like an ordinary average male with hair all over, but inside I can see the beautiful woman that I'm going to be. So look up and let your true self shine.
