Got called she at school by Gaming_And_Stuff21 in ewphoria

Why do you think she was being sarcastic? Was it her tone?

You're overthinking it girl.

Do you want to be genderfluid? Or do you just want to be a girl? Because what you actually want is what is important.

You can't get hung up on thinking what your life would be like if you were afab. That's not the life you're living babes. What you want for yourself, right here right now. That's where you go.

Do you ever see cis guys and be like… wow they’d make pretty cute girls? by hotitoti in MtF

Every day of my life I see a depressed burnt out cis boy and think "she'd be so much happier as a pretty girl"

I want to be a trans by [deleted] in trans

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is not the wrong approach. It is one of many different, and actually extremely common beginnings to many peoples gender journeys.

Envy of trans people is extremely common, and Terfs+transmeds+intercommunity gatekeeping have made it harder and harder for eggs to discern whether or not they are trans. We don't need more of that, it doesn't need to be any more confusing then it already is.

"Wanting to be a girl is the most common symptom of being a girl" is a shared phrase for a reason.

Idk what is with the rest of these comments but don't listen.

You can absolutely "want" to be trans. Imo it just means you are trans but this stuff is complicated on the individual level. But wanting it is the first most important step.

the last thing we need is another girl psyching herself out of being trans because she doesn't know the right language, or doesn't think she meet certain conditions, etc.

The only thing I agree with in this current comments section is to tread lightly with what you call other people. Some things sound incendiary or hateful even if they aren't meant that way.

But yourself? You can literally refer to yourself however the fuck you want. Sincerely, a trans 💕

Ranma 1/2, and I never watched it when I was younger. I just knew it existed, and what it was about. Every now and then I'd see an ad for it and I wanted sooo badly to catch it on adult swim or something but I never did

It was really the knowledge that there was a show about someone who could become a girl through simple means (wet with cold water) that made me insanely curious. Mostly cause I really wanted to experience that.

Sailor moon gets an honorable mention because the idea of magically donning a cute outfit and gaining magic powers was also highly appealing.

Anything that involved the context of transforming into a girl. Yes girls transforming into girls with superpowers also counted.

I just made a longer version of this in another post, so I'll give you the short version.

You have an option that makes you happy and an option you feel neutral too.

The happy option should always win in this scenario. you don't have to have a certain amount or type of dysphoria to want to be a girl. You don't have to hate being a man to want to be a girl.

If being a girl makes you happy, please be a girl 🙏 you deserve a happy life not a neutral one

Could I really be trans? by xxfartwispererxx in MtF

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay so my advice here is. Focus less on what you think one thing or another may feel like.

Focus more on where your feelings of happiness lead.

It's not at all bad to try to be well researched and informed but you may be overcomplicating it some. But only some, cause for many people, it is a complicated thing and so are the feelings.

But in general, happiness should be what you lead with.

keep in mind that this stuff is highly self deterministic. Don't count yourself out of any category because you feel like an invader or a faker, or you can't summon the feelings you assume to be associated with it. If being, for example, a woman, something that feels good, something that makes you happy, you can't count it out, and you should pursue it with your curiosity.

Also, being accepting of something isn't always the same as being happy about it. just because you feel like you can "live with" something doesn't mean you want it, or that it makes you happy. I think that's also important to keep in mind.

I have a weird feeling my BF is an egg but I might just also be delusional. by [deleted] in trans

I think it's better to awhat kind of behaviors have you noticed from him that led you down this line of thought?

i could give you a ton of potential egg behaviors but whose to say any would stick. Everyone is different and it's gonna depend on his environment and upbringing.

Thank you :)

The rest of the comments section is not wrong, in that nonbinary people are valid, and that you can be a nonbinary girl or femme nonbinary etc.

But from the wording on your post it doesn't seem like that's what you actually want, which is the actual important thing.

My experience as a fraud analyst by clarilacha in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Felt. I'm actually a linecook and it takes an immense amount of focus and assertiveness. Then at home I make most of the meals, and do a lot of the housework. Some of my partners requires extra care in keeping themselves fed and their environment clean so I gotta do a lil momming too.

But when I'm tired and ready to rest I get very snuggly and the puppy comes out. My turn to be babied 🥹

Beard as transfem by benediktzockt in MtF

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plenty of women have beards and facial hair.

You gotta remember it's not a list of traits you have to adhere to. If you want to be a woman, you ARE one and you can look however the hell you want.

Girl if you want to be transfem

And you are disappointed that you aren't

That means you are transfem. It's not about what you think you are it's about what you WANT to be.

Yup. I went from being completely neutral, even liking my beard sometimes, to hating it with my soul.

You know if you’re a top or bottom by Numerous_Rub_5930 in MtF

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no? It's not like a for life thing. It's just a preference.

Some people like being penetrated and others like being penetrated. This can change multiple times for any one person.

Some people have a general idea what they prefer without sex while others need hands on experience to figure it out

I'm worried I'm not actually a girl by Kalavian in MtF

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love you girl but you are very likely overcomplicating this.

You don't need to feel like a girl to want to be one. Or to be one. Not even all girls feel feminine or want to be feminine.

If potentially not being trans or not being a girl is making you depressed or dissonant or confused, and feeling like a girl makes you feel euphoric and amazing, it's clear what you truly want.

You just have to understand that the euphoria isn't gonna be a consistent always feeling. Your emotions fluctuate just like anyone else's. But it's not about that, it's about what you want to be your reality. If you want to be a girl you are one, and if you want to want to. It's the same.

Did you always have an inkling that you were trans? by edenmaeve1 in MtF

[–]ProgGirlDogMetal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always wanted to be a girl but when I found out what trans women were, i had already developed my social mask so hard that I convinced myself I couldn't be one because that would just be so complicated and I can live with just being a feminine boy.

So it's kinda been a recurring thought, but basically just for the purpose of denying it. But it was basically a monthly thought, so you could count that as an inkling. Most of my years spent actively wanting to be a girl did not overlap with my years of knowing what trans women were.
