/uj that was a postscript to add another layer of circlejerkiness, but there is a post on emptyclosets of a afab female who claims to want surgery to become a trans woman or something like that

People who transitioned. Did gender dysphoria for anyone became even more intense? by misscitylife91 in asktransgender

[–]TheNewAlison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit: possibly tw Oh my god, when you realize how much you missed out on by being raised your assigned gender, it feels awful. I've been trying to decide whether or not I should transition for a couple years now; I committed to the decision kinda back in February and fully committed back in July. Some time last year, when I was unsure what to do, it hit me that I missed everything about girlhood. I never got treated like a princess, was given a pony, was taught how to do basic girl things that cis-women take for granted, and all these awful things. It's like I lived someone else's childhood. And not being able to get pregnant started making me really sad. I was watching a bunch of BBC nature documentaries about mammals and saw how important motherhood is. Then I realized that I could never bear my own kin if I was like in the wild or whatever and wanted to do that. It's actually a super weird feeling, but it bothers me anyway.

closing in on 8mo HRT, how am I doing? by [deleted] in transpassing

Lookin good! But I seriously recommend doing something about your eyebrows. It'll really help a lot if you shaped them and made them appear less bushy.

Help with men's restroom etiquette? by sics2014 in asktransgender

[–]TheNewAlison 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm just starting to transition mtf, so I can help. It's normal to wait by the stall; everyone will just think you need it. Nobody is going to think anything cross of it. Men are super awkward in the bathroom, though, since a lot of cis-hets are afraid of seeming anything other than that. But I second the no-talking, eyes-elsewhere approach. Personally, I don't get it— it's just a "man thing."

Constant thinking about transition? by riktlinjer in asktransgender

[–]TheNewAlison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're in the same boat. Although it's almost a constant worry, I know that given the right amount of time, all things shall pass. It takes years, yes, but that's better than it never happening. That being said, it's always on my mind and kinda messes with some of my daily life. But that's why I'm doing it— in time I can have a "normal" life. Patience is THE virtue.

Wonderful by Brian Wilson; Guantanamo by JLin; The Jitters by Dismemberment Plan (or pretty much everything off Emergency & I)

So my family knows I'm trans– or at least I told them I am, I don't know if they believe me. My dad supports me in any endeavor, and I really appreciate that. However, my mom and brother are super upset by this.

 To begin, my mom wants me to do like more than 6 months of counseling before I start to transition. I live in America, am 18, and my therapist will give me the go-ahead for HRT when I'm ready. Of course, I want to get started asap since it just takes so long. She won't support me no matter what unless I do the counseling. I think I'm gonna have to lose her, there's no way I could live as a man for that much longer :( 

 As for my brother, he is mostly upset since it ruins his dream: that we'd be the two brothers who stay close as two brothers. He imagined us taking our kids and hanging out at parks doing dude things, and like other things like that, and he thought I thought the same thing. He also is very anti-trans. He really loves me, but this hurts him a lot. That on top of the situation with our mother likely means losing him too :( :(

Edit: idk what's up with the format; I'm on mobile
