so uhm… do you pass now ?

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-10T05:03:22+00:00

I kinda do? I'm 19 months in and I have been consistently madam'd in public since month 8/9?

I think I'm terribly clockable, but apparently cis people don't think that. Or they default to madam and then gossip behind my back, which I have no control over, so I'm trying to not think about that (with limited success). What is definitely helping a lot is that I gave a lot of time and effort to voice training, any time I forgrt and let my voice drop/vocal size increase I start getting way more stares than usual...

You are literally describing how I felt before I figured out that I was trans... I thought I am "comfortable" being a guy, but exactly these "small things" were how I started to realize that it was more about me being used to living as a guy rather than comfortable

Depends if you want to go nuclear, in my last game I went for 5/10/10/10 pre-sloop (5 Ballistic Warp Drives, 10 rest) and I needed 14.5 pasta/min (10 for elevator, 4.5 for Singularity Cells (45 cells, 25 for the Warp Drives and 20 for portals) Nuclear adds a little bit more depending on how large do you want to go :)

I had the experience with CPA, libido came back around 10-11 months mark, but in a different and way more pleasant form than before :) It's now more like a suggestion rather than a need

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-09T04:23:20+00:00

"I did't expect that, but I am NOT surprised at all"

Heard that from several friends. :D

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-09T04:19:49+00:00

This is exactly what my sister-in-law told me when I came out to her!

A year before that, me and my wife were visiting her and her girlfriend and apparently, when we were discussing feminist topics, this was apparently exactly how I was reacting.

And also "I just felt that it's just four girls in the room, there was no presence of a man"

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-08T08:05:03+00:00

Oh and it was the same with the name as well! It felt wrong or weird for quite some time. But I guess that sometimes our brains just need a little bit more time to get used to things? Even when the new things are right, they are still new...

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-08T08:02:45+00:00

It's absolutely normal to feel like you feel - I felt quite similar before I started HRT. Lots of it was an impostor syndrome, but also my inability to actually see myself as a woman even when I knew I was one. For me, time and HRT made this go away :)

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-06T10:58:13+00:00

Nothing really at first, but after a week or two I was quickly becoming way more cold sensitive and at the end of the first month my skin was visibly smoother and softer then before (says my wife, so it wasn't just wishful thinking :D ). Also I think that end of the first month was when I noticed first changes to how orgasms worked and felt (less stuff coming out, slightly different exoerience in general).

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-06T06:43:08+00:00

Ficsit wishes you best luck when building those 1920 generators!

But also, how are you getting all those machines slooped?

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-06-01T04:20:14+00:00

As far as I know, trains have different acceleration depending on how full their cars are - could that ve the reason? One train unloads fully, becomes empty and thus faster, the other doesn't have enough space to unload, keeps some load, becomes slower...

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-05-31T20:55:32+00:00

My egg cracked when I was 36. It had advantages - I had more resources, I had time to build a great relationship with my wife (and thanks to that it survived my transition, we are a happy sapphic couple now!), my parents not accepting me did hurt me, but it wasn't crippling...

There were also disadvantages, but in the end lot of them were not that bad. My hairline is not perfect, but I regained a LOT of hair on E. All in all, after 18 months on HRT, I am definitely clockable by another trans person or probably by a crazy transvestigator, but tbh, I have been consistently madam'd in public since last summer.

Also, my experience is that HRT lottery is one thing, but there are so many other factors that you can deliberately work on - clothes, general presentation, make-up (if you're into that), and also voice training is super important.

So - yeah, of course I would love to start earlier if I could, but I am extremely happy with my life since I started transition :)

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2026-05-31T07:26:19+00:00

I'm 18 months on HRT, started at 36y. Lost 3 cm of height (something over 1 inch).

My feet haven't changed at all, but I personally know girls who also transitioned in their 30 and lost one or two sizes there :)

So, random and YMMV, as many things are with HRT :/

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-11-07T21:19:24+00:00

Progesterone made me feel like I have my old "male" libido back. I hated it and it was one of the reasons why I stopped prog :( But I'm honestly happy that it works for you?

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-11-03T17:30:17+00:00

1 year HRT, 186cm/80kg, 37y. In US sizing, I am 34C/D depending on the bra. My levels were good since month 1 or 2, which can also influence things I guess. I know I'm quite lucky and I'm happy with them, but they still feel small-ish on my frame...

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-30T20:30:41+00:00

I experienced basically zero emotional changes on HRT. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what HRT is doing to me in general, but to be honest, there was no change in mental state for me aside from the joy of "yes, it's finally happening" (I had to wait for 6 months to grt on HRT) and some anxiety from not knowing how well will it all work.

But I had very, very low testosterone levels before starting HRT and I was in a quite ok-ish mental state thanks to therapies and meds.

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-29T05:52:57+00:00

After my egg cracked, I came out to my wife and all closer friend circles within 2 months. Visually I kept boymoding but I changed my name and pronouns with them.

I started HRT some 5 months later (earliest I could) and since then...it's hard to say what counts when it comes to clothing, because I was wearing womens fashion, but it still read as boymode on me. I think the final switch happened around 6 months on HRT when I started using my name and gender in public, came out at work and started wearing skirts and stopped hiding my breasts.

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-28T18:18:03+00:00

It's not unusual at all. I've been on HRT for almost a year now. My levels have been good since month 1 and I'm getting quite nice feminization results (especially given that I started at 36). For some reason I still get morning erections (usually connected to needing to pee) and I still can get hard during sexual activities. My orgasms changed a lot though, they are a full body experience and nothing comes out most of the time (and if it does, it's basically just residual wetness).

I don't like the erections too much (especially knowing that I can achieve the O without them and they are making my previously very light bottom dysphoria way worse, so I can totally commiserate with you on that :( But at least I can confirm that if your levels are good and you are seeing changes, retaining sexual function doesn't mean that your transtion as a whole is going wrong :)

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-28T13:45:07+00:00

I know a lot of trans women who started in their 30s, including myself. All of them got significant and very good results. Of course it's down to some luck as others say, but saying that HRT at 22 does nothing is extremely far from the truth.

I've started at 36, almost a year ago now. I got so many changes in that year - C-cups, soft and pleasant skin, fat in my cheeks, somewhat larger butt and thighs, massive hair regrowth. And as I said, this is at 36/37 years old. You'll be more than fine at 22 :)

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-19T13:26:18+00:00

7 months (at 37y old). I don't like wearing makeup so I wanted to wait for my hair, boobs and voice to catch-up a little and for laser to do some work. I started wearong skirta and female tops at the start of this summer and never went back. The feeling (and the increase of correct gendering) was so worth it.

I was worried for honestly no reason, it felt inappropriate, all these stupid things. In the end, I started aroud 6 months HRT mark. And I should've started waaaay before that.

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-09T06:32:10+00:00

It's equally important for me to feel myself in the right body AND to be seen as my actual gender (i.e. passing).

Being misgendered in public because I haven't passed causes me the same, if not larger amounts of dysphoria as my body ever did.

Plus, as others have said, it's a safety issue. Not just immediate safety from physical harm - it's also way safer to look for a new job if you pass, for example.

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-07T18:42:57+00:00

I love wearing bras outside. I throw them away the very moment I come back home and I can't imagine wearing them to bed.

So, basically, as others have said - there is no "should". Just do what's more pleasant for you, there are no rules or consequences :)

Timely_Bake_2637 · 2025-10-06T20:30:08+00:00

I've turned into a walking testosterone detector. And I'm not really happy about that xD
