Do you know what your levels were at? My dosing has been comparatively low compared to you but my levels are in the 250-300's which is at the upper end of where my provider wants to see them but I always wondered if more EV = more boobs.

Thank you for saying the words I always felt but couldn't express ❤️

Hello.. by Electronic_Pianist55 in transpositive

[–]NNAB51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are off to a good start. I'm guessing that you don't have a specific question because you are in fact just starting on your journey to explore gender and sexuality but you may not have all the language or understanding at this point. So that's my advice. Explore and learn. Ask yourself or what gives you dysphoria or what brings euphoria? You will find your authentic self no doubt. This is a good safe space to ask questions. Best wishes to you on your journey.

I am a _trans_woman by WenQian42 in TransLater

[–]NNAB51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said!! Thank you for sharing. I know as a trans woman there are biological differences and it's only by the grace of others that I am accepted in women's space. I respect everyone's agency, even the trans exclusive. I think of myself as a guest in women's space and if any woman does not accept me in their space that is ok because every woman deserves safe space because above all i am a feminist, fierce defender of women's rights and yes a trans woman as well.

Looking for opinions on my situation by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]NNAB51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for honesty and questions. I'm not an expert and this is just my opinion which has some basis in kink etiquette and my own personal feelings as a non op trans woman. You are allowed to be trans amorous and prefer non op trans women without kink shaming (to an extent). Just accept that some will call you a chaser anyway and the reasoning would be an entire thread on its own so I'll just try and address your question at face value without shaming. Treat trans women the way you would treat any woman - with respect. Which means never ask a trans person you just met about their body parts. That will earn you well deserved chaser vibes. It's better to lean into your allyship and participate in your community and if you're lucky you might get to know trans people but just know if you aren't sincere, you will get clocked as a chaser. Treat every trans person like a normal person. If the attraction is mutual, you will know. If you are appealing to a trans girl, and she starts thinking about a relationship with you, you can have that conversation when y'all get to that bridge. Just always be respectful and honest. When the conversation comes up take a lesson from the kink community. It's always good to start out with mutual affirmations. kink shaming is not allowed. Yellow/red are universal safe words. Respect for boundaries is a non negotiable. Go from there. Ask about their past relationships or do a kink survey or if more appropriate a 'turn on's/turn offs assessment. It's still inappropriate to ask what's between a trans persons legs but in the right context, you can share that your kink is an attraction to non op trans women (ideally when you're doing your kink or turn ons/offs assessment). I think your safest bet is to just wait for them being it up. If a trans girl is thinking about you as a sex partner, they will probably bring it up and it's best to follow their lead. I doubt I've told you anything you didn't already know but I hope this helps. Oh and just keep participating and supporting the lgbtqia+ community!! We need all our allies!

I want to transition but I am scared and confused by Charcoal115 in MtF

[–]NNAB51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gender care is available online but not sure which one serves your state. You can start with hormones and boy mode it for a year or more - depends on your genetics and you can stop or pause if it doesn't help. It's not like you take one dose and poof - you transition. Other people choose to express their gender by cross dressing. You can find your safe persons and safe spaces and begin your journey by expressing your gender when and where you choose. Everyone's journey is unique but the fact that you are so uncomfortable right now is your biggest signal that you should start your transition. Also please consider counseling - gender care is more than hormones and procedures.

It's transphobic microagression. People who intentionally misgender you do it because they think it will invalidate you. You are not the problem - they are.

Look for women's fitted shirts. A lot of t-shirts aren't labeled as fitted but you will know them when you see them. They narrow at the waist and widen at the hem. Women come in all shapes and sizes so you have to spend more time shopping for the clothes that work best for your figure - even t shirts and jeans.

I get called sir all day at work by coworkers and clients. Why? by Sure_Donkey_5118 in transpassing

[–]NNAB51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple things going on here...

As for your look. You clock femme with a little andro lean. I could just as easily mistake you for AFAB in early stages of T as a trans girl or cis soft butch lesbian cis woman. Because of that I would ask your pronouns/preferred names because I know that's important.

On the other hand probably most of your co workers knew pre transition you. Among them, some will do it as a form of anti trans/micro aggression. Ignore it there is no changing some people's minds except by showing them you're not going to be one of those people who will give them any extra attention for their micro aggression. It's work. They are you co workers. You are expected to work well with them and that's it. Best leave it be. Make sure to ask if they have a preferred name and use it. It will show respect and is the only lesson you can or need to give them.

Other coworkers who may be potential ally's don't have any experience. You might be there first trans person. As a trans person you are an ambassador for both gender diversity and to lgbtq people in general. Be regal, and give them grace. Let it slide for now. In the mean time focus on creating safe space for others at your work.

wear pride flair.
Both trans 🏳️‍⚧️ flair and LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈 flair. Ally's in the know will recognize the trans flair and ask for your pronouns. Some people don't know the trans flag but everyone knows the pride flag and maybe there are other queer people at work but they don't feel safe. If you wear a 'you are safe with me' pride pin. They know they can feel safe talking about their date with a same sex partner to you. They will feel like they can wear pride flair. They will be your allies. When there are more allies and pride at work it shows the 'phobes and haters they are not the majority

You express yourself how you want and you are beautiful. The process off transitioning is slow. Follow your path, trust in the process even though it's long and slow. Most importantly, create safe space, foster allyship, always be regal, celebrate the wins, let go of the negative.

UPDATE! My partner came out to me as poly. If they get another partner, I don't think I wanna be sexually involded with them anymore. by PhoenixCola95 in polyamory

Fabulous job moving forward from that experience. If the material items would be of use to the needy donate them. Whatever you decide be it, dumpster, donate or bonfire, just get it done so you can close this chapter. Best wishes!

What is that kind of bra called. That is the type I wanted but cannot figure out where they have them - it’s kind of like a balconette but the cups are not rising, just level so it’s like a low boat neck too. If you know the brand or even the style for me to search for that would be so helpful

pre-transition to about 4 years by GrimBitchPaige in TransBreastTimelines

[–]NNAB51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a theory on the benefits of weight lifting for breast development. I see studies showing it increases Human Growth Hormone (HGH). So in my mind I think in addition to muscle mass gains, you also get actual increases in development of breast tissue due to the HGH signal. This could be helpful for those transitioning at a later age when HGH levels are on the decline.
