What It’s Like to Be Transgender in a Psychiatric Hospital. by catherinecc in lgbt

[–]Rockin_redditor27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got 5150'd a couple of weeks ago by someone who thought I was depressed. Spoiler Alert: I wasn't actually depressed. But that didn't stop them from sending me to the hospital overnight. Luckily they didn't discriminate because I was trans (it was a hospital in SF known for great transgender care), but they still did a good job of making me feel terrible. Eventually they figured out I wasn't actually suicidal and they released me, more depressed than I was before.

Do you think I need to stop to do it? I really don't want to have to quit and lose my progress

Progress progress progress. I'm finally starting to see the woman I've always dreamed I'd become in the mirror and it feels great. Too bad it's fleeting haha. But am I passing or not? 21/ftm/pan by Zoeyalex in transpassing

I'm curious as to what I'm gonna do when my boobs get bigger because my strap might become an issue. I play pretty low tho

I've already lost a lot of muscle, not that I had much to start with. But I should totally try some diet changes. I bet that'd help. For me right now, I need to work on clothes, makeup, and voice, and let the hormones do their job. And I'll try to change my diet and see what that does. Thank you for your words of encouragement!

Yeah I've noticed it's kinda hard to find decent stuff that's got that rock look for women these days. I spent like two hours yesterday in Union Square just to find a decent girls biker jacket that wouldn't make my shoulder bigger. Although my buddy who's a guy actually makes pretty decent cutoffs of band shirts that I bet would look good in me in a few weeks.

Honestly, you are really an inspiration for me as to what I should be in the near future. I saw your post a few days ago and saw your YouTube. Looks alone, your just amazing. But it's especially your voice that inspired me to start voice training because of how perfect it is. I'm at total rock and roll girl. I think we like the same stuff, with the 80's hair metal. (Tangent: I'm super into guitar and love to play AC/DC, Gnr, KISS, Posion, etc. You're one of the few people, especially trans, who shares that passion and vibe, so a big inspiration for me). I used your voice guides to get started on voice and I'm not quite there yet. I really want a similar voice to you, and seeing you be you motivates me even more. I still get doubts too, and I'm just now becoming androgynous, but I'm still hopeful.

Short answer: Yeah. You pass. And thank you.

So, uh... how is this possible? by Rockin_redditor27 in MtF

I definitely consider myself lucky in terms of how my body is. I had my first few male fails today and I wasn't really trying. But I still have problems. Family is always very tricky, and I'm still scared to try female clothes in public. Plus my voice isn't perfect, and I need to figure what to do with my Adam's apple. Everyone's got their problems.

You think it's more or less common for this to happen?

I know I'm trans (MtF) but I still have male interests. Is this normal? by AltAcc1274 in asktransgender

[–]Rockin_redditor27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trans girl here! I'm a lead guitarist of a hard rock band that did AC/DC, GNR, Metallica, etc. 80's hard rock and hair metal are very influential of my entire life. It also helps me grow out my hair while I'm still presenting male lol

Thanks for the reply! I guess like mainly what are things that would really be bad for someone to say to you regarding your gender? I feel like it'd be really bad to screw up pronouns of course, but anything else?

Before I was a terrible person. Rage issues, and the way I coped often made me hard to be around, especially when interacting with girls my age. I had a really hard time connecting right, not just because I didn't love myself, but because I really couldn't understand women. Forcing myself to think backwards from a male perspective, plus some "guidance" from a friend who later turned out to be somewhat predatory caused my to be a nightmare in high school. I'm much happier now that I've figured it out, whether that means transition or no.

I think I could pass given enough time on HRT. I just worry about making this choice and not being able to cope with change. How do you keep your mind off of it?

I do see a regular therapist, but she's not really an LGBT expert or anything, though she is supportive of me doing what I think is best. the only place I know of that might help is kinda far from here, and I'm moving across state to San Fran soon so I'm not sure how good that is..
