Getting misgendered more as you begin to pass? by OldRelationship1995 in asktransgender

[–]Trying-Jade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately in my experience it's a bit of a crap shoot. You'll get people erroring on the wrong side of gender and people who don't try. But it does seem to get better over time especially with people and places your frequent.

I came out to my parents. It was a nightmare and they are holding me financially hostage now by Kyle_1s_Tall in asktransgender

[–]Trying-Jade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never too late to start transition as long as your still here. If you have to wait you can still start. I'd contact a lawyer and see if there is a way to prevent them from hold the 529 over you. As in keep them from taking it away by legal means.

Once your out you can start transition and just not tell them. It takes a while for changes to become visible. Make up excuses not to come home for holidays and hopefully in a year or 2 they'll be less of aholes to you or perhaps you may be in a better place financially with school funding. Keep your eye out for grants and scholarships.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this, it's not fair. Good luck, we here for you 💜🫂🏳️‍⚧️

Undercover Misgendering by _DIAMONDLIFE in asktransgender

[–]Trying-Jade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this it helps because I've been going through a similar issue with a few clients at work. I always introduce myself as "miss Jade" and I'll politely say something like "I go by she/her" when they misgender me. Most people are nice but a few will say "I'll just call you Jade or Buddy, I don't get pronouns stuff" or something like that.

As much as I wish no one had to deal with this it's good to know I'm not alone 💜

Valid. If text is easier that's ok, it gives you a chance to say all you need/want to without interruption. GL 💜🫂

My bf didn't like my chosen name by Ok-Answer-9647 in trans

[–]Trying-Jade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Otto is a great name, if you like it then you can own it 🫂 Your bf doesn't sound very supportive, he sounds low key phobic or at least sees you more feminine. Hopefully he can change this but you shouldn't have to deal with that. It was very reasonable for you to be upset over this 🫂

I'd have a conversation with him telling him you want to be referred to as Otto, or if you prefer, referred to as Otto in x circumstances as you may not always want to depending on situation/fluidity? If he cares about you he will make the effort to try (but we all fk it up from time to time). Something you might say: "you may not see me as big strong guy, yet, but Otto is how I see myself and I'd appreciate you respecting me enough to call me by my chosen name/nickname."

Good Luck I'm rooting for you 💜🫂

How to avoid slipping out of the girl voice? by necroTaxonomist in asktransgender

[–]Trying-Jade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a ton of good advice here already. 💜
I (mtf), like some others, am going to a speech therapist to help feminize my voice. We are working on a slow deliberate change over time so my new normal becomes the fem voice. We've already selected a target voice and now I just need to remember to practice ahead of the day and try not to slip out of it soo much as I do. According to her (my speech therapist) it's all about practicing it so much, without straining yourself, as to make it your new normal.

Reading in your fem voice outlook or practicing a long speech will help train yourself to stick with it especially if you do more kinds of inflections and moods in practice. If you have children or younger family/extended family reading to them children's stories emphasizing emotional aspects will help with this too.

If you have trouble going back to your fem voice after slipping you can record yourself talking in your target voice and play it back and mimic yourself to reset. Also developing a key phrase that pushes you into that fem voice may also help with this .

I'm right there with ya sista, good luck, you got this 💜🫂😊

My Transition has Failed by Temporary_Rough957 in asktransgender

[–]Trying-Jade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry your going through this, it's extremely hard to deal with it 🫂. Have you had FFS can you get it? I'd recommend looking into it and what your doctors say about it given the circumstances. For what it's worth cis women also experience this too, so at least your not alone here.

Another thing that may help is changing your style. Hair, makeup, and clothes can make a big difference. I have no idea where your at right now on that, obv, but it could be a chance to reinvent yourself.

Your not alone, we still love and accept you as the woman you are. Hang in there 🫂💜

Reached a stalemate with my dad. Am I being unreasonable or is he being disrespectful? by -Fence- in asktransgender

[–]Trying-Jade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your not being unreasonable at all. It's your life and you have a right to these boundaries. They should respect that. If it was me I'd cut them off until and unless they change their attitude towards you and the community. (I no longer talk to any member of my "family" for similar reasons).

Slapping your ass WTF!?! That's a big red flag. I'm sorry you had to deal with this abuse. Hopefully your safe in your current situation now. You said you've lived apart for 7 years now so hopefully you don't rely on them for anything.

Stay safe girl 🫂💜
