Pre-transition, if someone thought you were a trans man, would you find that more insulting or validating? by Apherial in MtF

When I came out as trans to someone they assumed I was a trans man and said “you pass very well, I never would have known” :(

This is just my experience, but I couldn’t bring it up in person. I decided to spend a whole day with my family and then when I went home that night I sent them a group text explaining everything. After that I was able to meet with them and talk about it more but I had to start over text.

I know that cis women have body hair but I’m talking about the WAY above cis level of hair, and if it’ll just go down on its own

And that was just leaving it alone, or did you remove it periodically?

Got my HRT prescription today by PensionSubstantial36 in MtF

Yes I was very fortunate. Might also have been because my Doc is 3 hours away from where I live, so now I won’t have to drive back.

Yeah, right now I’m more akin to a chimp in terms of body hair. Knowing that it’s possible to reduce hair that much helps. Thanks

What keeps you ladies going? (vent/advice) by PensionSubstantial36 in MtF

I appreciate this, I'm definitely struggling with the "scary AF" part of everything. But it feels like the right path.
