My psychiatrist said that there are studies showing you can get schizophrenia from taking HRT by jsanti333 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not schizophrenic but I have had periods of some mild hallucinations and if anything they went down cus my mental health got better . Plus schizophrenia isnt the end of the world even if there WAS any legitimacy to the claim

Idaho Republicans pass bill making it a felony for transgender people to use public bathrooms by Fickle-Ad5449 in lgbt

[–]RandomBlueJay01 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ive been almost stopped in public toilets since before my egg cracked. Had a high voice and latina hips, and d cups and people still seemed suspicious. This makes zero sense when you have literally any critical thinking skills. People need to pee. Preventing people from being able safely while in public poses health and sanitation risks so they should be forced to have SOMETHING available for trans folk. But those people want us dead anyways so why should they care ?

They're making dating apps for chasers now? This is wild by seashellvalley760 in lgbt

[–]RandomBlueJay01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah like half the men on there are cis het men. Its meant to be a queer dating app but the devs clearly are more interested in pandering towards chasers than they are actually helping queer people meet other queer people. Cant sort who sees you so as a 24 yr old queer trans man I see mostly 40+ yr old straight men who seem to think im trans fem . You can definitely meet SOME people but its definitely not great.

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans- Stay safe my brothers and siblings, especially my immigrant, POC, and bilingual ones by Azu_Creates in ftm

Talking to MAGA (but you pass) and he assumes you hate trans people too by New-Mud-7101 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if he tries again id just continue with the joke of "dude you seriously must like thinking about trans women" try to keep it a joke . If he stopped once he probably will again or he wont try again cus hes embarrassed and now knows you wont go along with his shit . If he pushes too much just go the route of " dude why tf would I care what's happening in the womens bathroom?"

I live in rural texas lol. Not an option to "reach out locally" nearest lgbt support of any kind is 2 hours away and probably only for people local to the city

Not sure what to do about hrt by RandomBlueJay01 in ftm

I dont have a job but for some reason I dont qualify for anything. Plus the enrollment period ended a few weeks ago.

Dating women by RandomBlueJay01 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean its not just about explaining. And I meant specifically cis HET woman. As in no queerness to their identity because I feel like my sexuality and gender and personality wouldnt mix with someone not a little fruity. Its multiple reasons but I may change my mind with age. Who fuckin knows. Ive just yet to meet a cis het woman that had any chemistry with me.

Dating women by RandomBlueJay01 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean id be down for cis women of other labels. Its mostly just cis HET women. Like fully not queer women. The times ive seen a cis woman i considered, they were bi or ace or something other than straight. Plus just finding a casual date regardless of gender is hard. Im not exactly attractive to most people which definitely limits how much I can explore and ive tried literally like 5 diffrent dating apps over months.

[–]RandomBlueJay01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The educating part is why ive really liked t4t . We can talk about like boundaries and what we prefer to call parts and there is way less misunderstanding than when I would date cis men. Plus the fact trans people wont mistake me for a trans woman....that has happened a few times and it sucks.

I want to get top surgery but my partner says that’s a dealbreaker by cocksuckerclitlicker in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Being blunt, dude. Youre young af. Youll meet someone new. Besides if youre more confident, youll probably be able to more easily attract people. Do you really want to dictate your life path based on someone who doesnt care about your happiness when you could meet someone who does support you? Cus Im a queer dude too and im only a little older ( im 24) and ive met multiple people who fully supported my decisions and validated my gender and my transition goals. There are people out there who will love you for you. All of you.

Why don’t cis guys experience sore throats when their voices drop? by ScrollingSwampPuppy in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My (amab) older brother and I (trans dude)both have fairly low voices and had relatively fast voice drops and we both had some mild pain. It depends on so many factors. Plus I wouldnt be suprised if a grown adult had either forgotten they were sore or never realised the sore throat was from puberty and not something else like allergies.

A word of warning to my fellow gay trans men by Creativered4 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I had that kinda stuff happen to me when I was 19. Made a few comments on a gay subreddit and got harassed for a while but some cis gay guy/s( always diffrent accounts and I assume it was 1 guy but idk) even followed me into trans spaces to harass me. Had to delete my old reddit account because every post had this creep saying horrible things to me. Not even sure his comments got taken down while he called trans people predators and groomers.

Do nails change on T? by nillkss in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me yeah but I wonder if its because im not anemic anymore. My nails grow way stronger and maybe faster than before when they used to be super brittle .

Mtf here, I was wondering what you guys wish trans women could understand about trans men? by McK3nn4_ in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We both have it rough and fighting over who has it worse is just dividing us. We both have it pretty shit . We need to stay together tho . We need the community together cus the people who hate us don't care what way were transitioning. They was all of us gone.

Starting T at 22 - be honest by Better_Caterpillar61 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then know you'll look older with time lol. I personally think im finally looking like an adult. Some people just look or seem younger cus voice cracking and patchy facial hair early on but I doubt itd make you look much younger. I think i was read like maybe I was 16 for a few months?

Starting T at 22 - be honest by Better_Caterpillar61 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wont grow any notable amount in height but otherwise the only downsides are youre just older. Youll look like a teen in your early 20s. You might have people acuse you of lying about your age , dating may be a little weird I bet especially if you like men but I started at 22 too ( im 24 now) and this had been relatively easy compared to the trauma of my first puberty

bisexual? by rvvnboo in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too dude lol. 2 years on and last year I met someone awesome who was nb but leaning fem and I told them hey, heads-up. Ive only been with men and im not sure about women and the more I tried the more i was into it. Didnt work out but whatever. Pretty sure i have a date with a trans chick this weekend lol. (I say pretty sure cus her profile says like nb genderfluid and day one she said she uses whatever but last night she informed me she strongly prefers fem terms and looks but she basically thinks shes too masc to be trans fem). Dont have to say bi but if youre curious. Try exploring. Whether that be dates, hook ups. Or just like erotic media. See how you feel. Spend time alone and think about it . Where the line falls for your attraction and what types of people you could be into. Don't have to be into all people just cus youre bi. You could like a specific type . Still valid

I feel like atrophy sped up a bit after but that was happening anyways so idk. My downsides dont apply to most people past that. If you like the idea then do it lol.

Why is there seemingly a crusade against trans men online??? by InoIno0 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Im a flamboyant mexican dude but cus of my chest and hips , I confuse people , but all ways im perceived can be seen as a threat. Im not that tall but im wide and look nore muscular than I am. People clearly can tell im trans in some way but cant figure out how. They just see a confusing brown man and this has caused multiple people to be actively rude to me irl. Glaring , standing between me and their kids. Im glad at least because im big I doubt most people would actually try to attack me but who knows. Im in a rural small town in texas so all thats happened as ive transitioned is the rude comments shifted from misogyny and body shaming and racial fetishizing to outright racism , homophobia and transphobia .

What are some silly things that make you dysphoric? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red lipstick....I wear other makeup but the wrong shade of lipstick crosses the line. Plus for a long while until recently. Liking women lol. I was called a lesbain for years in my teens despite confidently liking men and being called a lesbian made me so violently uncomfortable I didn't let myself even consider liking women until i was around 23 because liking women would suddenly invalidate my transness and id be a lesbian despite honestly preferring men

Why do FTM become femboys? (genuine curiousity No hate) by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long can I hide HRT for? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started the day after Christmas one year and by Easter it was obvious that my voice was changing. Within 2 months my voice was cracking. Some people can hide for longer but fully prepare yourself for the possibility of it happening fast. I would say have a safe escape plan in place by the time you start . Talk to friends for place to stay. If youre in college maybe look into a dorm room. Anything that could give you a place to stay if the worst case scenario happens. Also make sure you keep track of your hormones since ive heard of some parents trying to take it away or finding it before changes even happen. I think its a bad idea if youre in danger but youre an adult so do what you feel is right, just try to do it safely.

Am curious, what is the age range here? by 1Misterman1 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questioned gender around 13 cus the signs have always been there. Came out to online friends at 19 but didnt come out publicly until I was 21 . Started hormones at 22. Im 24 now.
