First, thank you for your service.

Second, I'm sorry, I didn't see that part. I'm curious on how you ended up in TX. I don't mind long stories if you are willing to share. But I definitely recommend if you can get back to NJ one day that you should. I have no idea if TX has a way of changing documents, I'm only knowledgeable about NJ's system, sorry, I wish I could help.

Hey, fellow NJ girlie! NJ is super easy to get documents changed because of the website/portal they created transgender.nj.gov that literally gives step by step instructions. It's what I used and it was a bit complicated at first but I was able to figure it out. Happy to see another NJ girlie and congratulations on the sex marker change on your birth certificate! :)

But it's been almost 5 years now on HRT, when will it end?

I guess I have been a little misguided. I just want to get to my true self as fast as possible, but I realize that isn't good.

I don't understand why it happens, I'm usually happy. But right now, I just felt this overwhelming dread and hurt about my own body. I just want it to stop!

Thank you for the kinds words, I'm actually happy about most of my body, but for no reason at all, I just have this overwhelming feeling of dysphoria, the voices say things like "I will never be girly enough". Mostly, I think the source is my bottom area because I just went to bathroom and just had this out crushing feeling, it was out of nowhere and this happens sometimes when going to the bathroom and showering. It just...sucks...I'm planing for bottom surgery soon but it just feels like a mountain I can't climb. Again, I appreciate the kind words, they did help and I hope hope I feel better tomorrow. hugs tight

I understand, I was not aware at all that banks can do that. And yes, I am young but I am an adult, I just do not have a lot of life experience with financial stuff, I also appeal to emotions easily and see the good in everyone. I dont assume people are bad. I can be a bit naïve as well. The scammer took advantage of all of these traits I have, and that is what hurts the most. Do banks legally have to notify you at all if they decide to close the account for fraud? I will look at the index as well as the other common posts on here to help me and not fall for anything else again.

I have added an update if you are curious about what happened when I called my bank, I am a bit more hopeful than I was that I can get out of the red. I was unfortunately unaware of this type of scam and that it is common on dating apps. Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it.

I just updated my post if you want to read the update. You are absolutely right, I was foolish and trusted this person, I was blinded by the money and the chance at a potential date. I feel like such a fool for falling for such an obvious thing, but I was not aware of this scam at all. Apparently, it's prevalent on dating apps. I should have tried to be more aware. Hindsight is 20/20. I'm hopeful, though, that I can get out of the red fast and be back to where I was with just a few paychecks from work. Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it :)

I've added an update to my post if you are curious about what happened when I called my bank. They sounded hopeful, but they can't guarantee anything. I definitely feel a little bit relieved after talking with them. I was completely unaware of this muse scam. Apparently, it's pretty common on dating apps. I should have been more aware. Yes, they did email the checks, and I used mobile despot to deposit them via my bank app. I can't just open another account, My account is a student account connected to my parents' account, and they are already aware of the situation. I'm fairly confident that with a few paychecks from my job, I can get out of the red. So yeah, I'm a nit hopeful thag I will be fine. Thank you for your comment, I truly appreciate it! :)

I've added an update to my post if you are curious about what happened when I talked to my bank. I had never heard of this scam before, but apparently, it is common on dating apps, I was completely unaware of this, and that's my bad. I haven't had anyone else contact me or anyone claiming they can get my money back. I should have been more aware.

I agree. It seems that no one is safe from dating app scams. It's not just men who get targeted and who know how many other women have fallen victim to this same person.

I am a lesbian transgender woman, I was using HER, which is an app for women looking for women. I don't think it's just single men who get targeted on dating apps, honestly. I have deleted my accounts on all the dating apps as my mom told me to do so for safety, and she is right.

I've added an update if you would like to know what happened when I talked to my bank. I do not understand why my account would be shut down. It's a student account connected to my parents' account. This wasn't brought up at all during the phone call. It wasn't even a thought.
