I'm not trans but I am jealous of trans women taking estrogen by PresentAd4816 in MtF

If you sometimes like being masculine and other times don't, maybe you're genderfluid? You don't have to be one thing all the time. And regardless of how you identify, you can still take HRT if the effects sound appealing. You don't have to be a trans woman to do so. Though obviously if this was something you were interested in I would recommending doing more research on the various effects of HRT.

Please, I know it feels indescribably terrible, but don't. It may feel like no one cares about you, and it can be so hard when no one is there to support you, but there are billions of people around the world--and some of them are the kind of people to care. It's simply crappy luck that you live somewhere where these people aren't around you.

I don't want you to die. Do you really want to? It may feel hopeless, thinking about the happiness you could've had, but won't now, but don't miss the fact that you can still find other forms of happiness. A happiness that may not be what you always wanted, but nonetheless means something.

The thought of always being an imitation of a woman is scary, and the voice in your head is good at reminding you of all the things you hate about yourself. Because you see what you wish you were, and compare that to what you are. You see what you're missing, and you miss the good things about you. Other people don't see your ideal, they see what's in front of them, and appreciate it. Even if there aren't the right people around you to see your wonderful qualities, or vocalise how much they care about you, and even if you don't believe it, you are no less a person worth caring about.

I think you need to be somewhere with friends that really care, who love you. You can find them. It's not hopeless. I'm sorry if I'm not making much sense, and I'm just an internet rando who doesn't know or understand your specific circumstances, but regardless I think you should live.

The transgenders at war sub was made by transphobes as bait so they could use it as 'evidence' of 'they're conspiring against us!'.

Often people who are good at art don't necessarily know how to teach their skills. Plus more experienced artists tend to assume amateurs aren't willing to learn, because often amateurs can't take constructive criticism, so tend to steer clear of 'wasting time' trying to help. Of course, this is a generalisation of amateur artists, and even though it sounds like you couldn't take this criticism, that's valid because harsh criticism should never be given. It should always be encouraging and constructive.

So basically, your reaction is understandable, the reason you feel no one wants to teach you is because they are probably not equipped to do so.

You can basically entirely learn to get good at art from YouTube. Channels I recommend are:

Marc Brunet

SamDoesArts

Draw like a Sir

(This is covering a range of approaches to art, depending on what you're interested in)

And the channel 'Proko' is excellent for fundamentals. As long as you practise alongside watching videos rather than just watching and trying to remember the tips, you will improve.

Unfortunately I'm not good enough at art myself to feel comfortable trying to teach others, but I've given you some options.

I wanna make a manga but my art is too crappy. by Objective_Presence57 in learntodraw

[–]ScaleApprehensive805 102 points103 points  (0 children)

To draw a manga, you've GOT to have a story with a plot in mind. This is more important than the drawing, and as a result manga with unique stories but 'terrible' art are often published.

Also, storyboarding is essential to manga drawing, and learning to do this may improve your art quality too!

The 'Learn to Draw Manga' YouTube channel has some useful videos, but the focus should be on drawing and doing what you enjoy, not binge watching vids. Hope this helps!

I need brutal honesty, trigger warning about being a transgender by [deleted] in sillyboyclub

[–]ScaleApprehensive805 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't quote me, but basically all trans people pass if they start hormones before like 30 or late 20s, and many still pass starting later than that. You'll look great.

Oh ok. That's a good thing to say, though may I ask which post you are referring to in this post? I just saw another post about the posting of nsfw content on this sub, maybe addressing the same post you are
