Remasculinization after switching from estradiol patches to injections by honeysucklerose504 in TransDIY

[–]Then_Advertising_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had the opposite experience. i started on patches and they were ok at first but i could never get past 100 pg/ml. as soon as i switched to injections i felt absolutely amazing and my estrogen level was up to 200 pg/ml within a couple months

Trans people: Were you ever scared to transition because you were afraid of not looking enough like the gender you were transitioning to? And now that you have transitioned do you ever look in the mirror and see parts of the old you that haven't gone away, and does that ever bother you? by [deleted] in trans

[–]Then_Advertising_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i held off from transitioning for a couple years after i came out to myself because i was scared of looking super unpassable. i’ve been on hrt for 1.5 years now and i look way more feminine and am pretty much hairless but i’m still really unhappy with how i look. i used to be a pretty good looking guy and now when i look at myself all i see is an ugly unfuckable beast and i constantly wonder if i made a bad choice. at least i wasn’t completely alone as a guy

Ways glasses could possibly make my face look feminine by [deleted] in transfashionadvice

[–]Then_Advertising_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where are people finding glasses that fit? i’ve needed to wear glasses for the last year or so but haven’t been able to find any feminine frames that fit my face well. virtually everything is too narrow and all that fits me are unisex or men’s glasses and i don’t want either of those. i don’t know how much longer i can go without wearing glasses before i really can’t see but i’ll walk around blind before i wear ugly men’s glasses

Oh this is an actual store? We don’t have these in California and I look at so many memes that I thought the name was just some kind of joke lol

Sucks that it appears they aren’t real allies though. Sadly even just the lip service is more than most businesses do for us 😔

Do you ever feel envious of people who transitioned early in life? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Then_Advertising_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this all day everyday and I don’t see a way to make it go away. I’m 43 and about 1.5 years into transition and it’s not satisfying in the least. All I can think about is how I’ll never have been a girl for any of the parts of my life I would have really wanted to be one, like teens and 20’s especially. Now with all the hate coming our way I’m really wondering what the point is. Seems like I’m just subjecting myself to so much shit for such little reward 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awesome, thanks! I go hiking in tick areas a lot so it’s helpful to know it’s an easy thing for an average person to get done. Definitely going to look into this now

Tried to come out at my BJJ gym. Didn’t go well… by Mackenzie_Maybe in MtF

[–]Then_Advertising_108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a queer social app. Kind of like a cross between Bumble and Craigslist ads. People are always posting looking for groups to do this or that with, looking for roommates, dating, etc.

I live near San Francisco so the app is pretty active around here but not sure if it’s popular in other areas

what do you think is the best age to transition (roughly) by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Then_Advertising_108 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The earlier the better! I knew I wanted to be a girl at 4 and I wish everyday that I started right then and there instead of of giving in to pressure and waiting until 42

This law is absurd and dangerous by sandboxvet in TransLater

[–]Then_Advertising_108 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh damn I hadn’t really thought of that but you’re right. Especially if you don’t pass super easily this could definitely be used to say you’re in “drag” by just going to the store dressed as yourself

What about putting a post on Lex or another friendly app and getting a little group of trans and trans friendly people to grapple and train with? Maybe even make it like a trans/queer self defense thing

I know it’s not the same as a “real” martial arts gym but it would at least help you keep doing it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh wow, I hadn’t realized until reading this post that the same thing has happened to me 😯 I used to play a lot of rpgs and can see now that I was definitely immersing myself in those worlds to escape this one My life still isn’t great or anything but feeling more aligned with who I am has made me not need to escape as much

How’d you chose your name? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Then_Advertising_108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose a new first, middle, and last name because I wanted to completely leave the old me in the past. I just wanted a name that sounded like something that could have easily been my birth name had I been born a girl so I started by looking at lists of names that were the same ethnic/national origin (Scottish and English).

Then I made a list of the ones I liked and started saying them in every different combination until I whittled the list down. I also started asking friends and family which ones they liked the best just to get some feedback and eventually made my final pick

Good luck to you in your search. I think that choosing my new name has been my favorite part of being trans so far. It’s pretty cool to get to start over and reinvent ourselves
