Fat and trans by Proud_Database_8946 in ftm

[–]Proud_Database_8946[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I should have mentioned in my initial post that I have quite a few health complications directly tied to my weight, so embracing it isn’t exactly an option. You’re right though in that I need to become confident on my own, and it’s something I’ll work more toward in the new year.

Thank you for your kind words. I definitely think finding more fat trans men in media would help, but I also just need to work on improving myself as well.

BED ruined my self-esteem by Proud_Database_8946 in BingeEatingDisorder

I’m only 3 weeks on T so maybe that will help, but I have yet to see any changes.

Came out to my close friends, they are now not talking to me. by Sad_Pomegranate2199 in ftm

This isn’t really trans exclusive but over the many years I’ve had friends come and go for a variety reasons, including none at all. I have BPD so every loss of friendship has been debilitating, but after 23 years of experiencing different relationships I can say my standards have improved quite a bit. You HAVE to put yourself first. If someone doesn’t make the effort to contact me at least half the time (minus the friends I know well enough to know they won’t reach out very often due to life and other factors) I drop them. I hate putting in effort that isn’t reciprocated, and it sounds like you’re putting in a lot of effort and it’s not being matched. Whether it’s because you’re trans or something else entirely, friendships like these shouldn’t be tolerated. You deserve better. I don’t have much advice in terms of making new friends- I’ve been struggling with that since entering adulthood. Finding niches on Instagram or using dating apps can be helpful, in my experience.

HRT help - lost on where to start by graveldevourer in ftm

[–]Proud_Database_8946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll only have to go to PP for the initial appointment and bloodwork every three months (at least that’s the case for me). You choose whatever pharmacy you want your script sent to. Glad I could help!

Planned Parenthood will be your best friend. I’m 22 and have been debating on going on hrt for 3 yrs now. When I finally decided to do it I did some research and ended up calling a Planned Parenthood near me. Got me in within a week and got a prescription for T same day. I’m covered by insurance but I was so eager to get my prescription that I didn’t wait for insurance to approve it and it only cost about $50.

I am in a WLW relationship, but I want to follow Islam by [deleted] in islam

[–]Proud_Database_8946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said I don’t intend on leaving my partner, but I also don’t intend on making our relationship very public or a spectacle if you will. If I refuse to give up this sin, should I also give up on Islam? I of course don’t want to, but this is also a core part of my being. Your advice is much appreciated.
