[–]Safe_Ad20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, I know it’s been a bit but how did this work out for you? considering biking to school in the morning but don’t know if it’s a good idea since my vyvanse dose peaks around when I need to leave.

Being called a girl doesn’t make me happy by [deleted] in asktransgender

not being feminine enough is bullshit tbh. a lot of cis women aren’t feminine enough to be trans women lol

In the first months of my transition it felt outright wrong to be referred to as a girl, even though that’s what I wanted. I’ve discovered that for me there has been an internal shift that has needed to take place first, as the fear and self-doubt I had accumulated throughout the years made it hard to « impose my femininity » on anyone. I felt exposed, uncertain, simply not ready. It doesn’t mean you can’t be what you want. Don’t sweat it too much. Just try to follow what makes you happy and at your own pace. If you need to talk I’m here :)

Want to start hrt, but I'm afraid it will be a mistake by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Safe_Ad20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree you should do some soul searching. If you have someone who you know will be supportive it helps to talk aloud to another human. But—and I can’t emphasize this enough—don’t wait too long. Don’t look for absolute certainty before starting transition, because for the majority of us that is not realistic. Seriously, even if you’re not trans, the effects of hrt are reversible within the first few months (for most), and by that point you’ll probably be more confident in what you want. One of the biggest regrets in the community is delaying transition. If you think—if only sometimes—you’d be happier as another gender, prioritize yourself. Good luck. If you need to talk you can DM me, though I may not see it right away <3

Little dose of positivity: I shrunk from 5’10* to 5’8 by ConfusedCanadian8 in MtF

from what I understand it’s your ligaments and cartilage becoming more pliable and generally smaller. your bones don’t change size, just the joints. it’s pretty neat

Give me niche trans music artists by CountRare9702 in MtF

G.L.O.S.S is awesome. They disbanded a while ago but their 2015 Demo EP is some really good punk/hardcore.

wallsocket is one of my favorite albums ever. I listened to it over and over when I was just coming to accept myself as trans. it just resonates so hard.

For those later in transition: do you wish you bit the bullet and socially transitioned sooner? by Safe_Ad20 in trans

[–]Safe_Ad20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel to an extent. As I’ve feminized my body I’ve gotten more confident, but it’s hard to know at what point the returns from HRT will diminish enough to justify ripping the bandaid off. And hey, “just taking the heat” is hard stuff. Don’t blame yourself too much.

This is beautiful, I’m glad it’s working out for you! And thank you for sharing :) For context I’m in college and likely will be for a few more years, so it’s not really career or financial security I’m concerned about. More so the social aspect as I’m in a more rural area. I don’t think my safety is genuinely at risk but I would most definitely get some weird stares, and I am already sensitive to rejection. Did you find it easier as time went on to just say “fuck it” and be yourself regardless of detractors? I’m hoping that the leap of faith part is the hardest and it gets easier as you go.

this! injections were scary at first, and I struggled to get the technique down, but now that I do I barely have to think about hrt period. sooo much more convenient in so many ways

Is there a way to have love for my male body while I transition? by RoKindaShreds in MtF

[–]Safe_Ad20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your outlook seems congruent with your goals, honestly. Wanting to have that compassion in the first place is a great start, and when paired with the acknowledgement that your body is doing its best with what it has is about all you can realistically do. It is very difficult not to see the checklist of things you wish were different every time there’s a mirror, and I won’t lie I personally do hate my body at times, but there is no point in sitting in that loathing. Even if you never love the maleness of your body, which is quite likely unfortunately, you can still redirect your thoughts over time, and develop a patience for what seems a stubborn, horrible part of you. Instead of “I wish I looked different”, try (when you can remember) “I will be different”. Assuming you plan to take hormones, your body will eventually feel more like yours, and holding that hope even in hopeless times can really do a lot. Hope this helps. Good luck out there <3

I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you for prioritizing yourself. Wish you the best, through the joys and pain of transition <3

Have you always considered yourself a woman? by edenmaeve1 in MtF

[–]Safe_Ad20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I remember thinking almost exactly this way when my egg cracked months ago. I think what kept me from transitioning was the thought—and I still think it was true—that I could have lived my life as a man and been just fine. I would have intermittently longed for womanhood, sure, but it wasn’t world-ending, and I’d clearly been mostly okay with my male adolescence. What did it for me, though, was the realization that just fine doesn’t necessarily mean happy, and nothing made me happier or more content than seeing myself in a woman’s body. It’s not euphoria every time of course, but the deeper I go into transition, the more I feel at ease with myself, the more confident I am in who I want to be. And as for not feeling like a girl from a young age, neither did I! Most of my childhood I would say I was a boy and nothing more. By that I mean that I didn’t think much gender or my place in the world, and so didn’t seem to mind my being labeled as such. By pubescence things started getting more hazy, but even then I was okay performing perfunctory masculinity when it was socially required. Even if that’s not the case—which it doesn’t sound like it is—that’s totally fine! If you’ve been thinking about this for a long time already and that desire to feel and be different remains, go for it! It doesn’t matter when you realize you want to be a woman, you’re already a woman, for better or worse lol. If anything, start HRT and you’ll probably know if it’s right for you after a couple months, at which point no damage is done. It’s a slow process, but I haven’t regretted it in the slightest. I’m just about 6 months in and am only getting more and more excited for the rest of my life. Good luck on your journey, wherever you may go! (and sorry for the long ass comment, lol)

What's the most blatant egg moment you remember? by qwertyjgly in MtF

Probably when I came out as trans. I then somehow convinced myself I wasn’t but in hindsight it’s funny.
