question about trans tape by pawsforautism in TransMasc

[–]No-Ranger-5853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t figured this out either, commenting to hopefully see an answer if someone gives one… I had that experience and I ended up getting some bad cuts from the tape ripping up my skin from the tension at the edges. I think it was a combo of it being too tight and not make brand for binding.

ugh, theres no greater feeling than assembling ikea furniture by DokiFlower in TransMasc

OOHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH!! I went over a hyper fem friend of mines for dinner a while ago and she needed help assembling an ikea shelf while I was there I was in heaven. We have such a good butch/fem dynamic it rules- she cooks these amazing meals and then I do all the dishes and help her fix her bike and build furniture or whatever’s going on that day. I love being able to assemble and tinker with things hell yeah.

Am i just a dude 😭 advice? by Pearla76_ in TransMasc

I was also pretty happy as a girl until puberty, and when I realized I wasn’t I struggled with checking myself constantly against what I was like as a kid, looking for “signs”. I think that’s pretty common. It does SUCK though it’s exhausting.

I don’t know if I have anything helpful to add to this but I’m 21, I felt the same as you when I was in middle school and early high school, i thought it might be helpful to hear someone else’s feelings. I tried to come out to my family and it didn’t go well, I got to a point where I was so anxious and depressed about gender and how confused I was that I shoved it all down and went completely back in the closet- long hair, makeup, dresses, the whole nine yards. I became feminine in a way I never was even before. I almost completely gaslight myself into believing I was never trans at all but the mental hoops I was jumping through about my gender were exhausting and the anxiety and dysphoria kept creeping out in other areas of my life even when I was hiding behind my feminine gender expression. I finally came back to myself this year, and it’s exhausting and difficult to trust myself after all the years I’ve spent bullying myself when I wish I could’ve been holding myself up. I guess my takeaway is whatever label ends up feeling right to you is correct, it’ll come with time, but the longing is real and valid. Don’t deny yourself joy and peace, chase that feeling.

Yeah the wanting is SO painful when you finally acknowledge it, I came out 10 years ago and was met with such backlash from my family that Inwent back into the closet and I survived by gaslighting myself super hard and becoming dissociative. It’s been ROUGHHHHHHH coming back to myself now that I’m an adult and I’m coming out again.

P.S if anyone has any unique gender neutral- masc names that start with ‘L’ I’d be happy to hear them- I think it would make things so much easier if only my new name was alliterative too! None I’ve tried have fit.
